B I V O L O, R O Y @EnarrRoy is an odd duck to put it lightly. To say that he stands out among the team would be something of an understatement. At times, it feels as though the aliens and Roy had switched places. Talking to Roy reminds Cece of the kind of old movies her grandfather used to adore. The over-the-top verbiage, redundant adjectives and just the meandering to get to a single point. Cece is a girl of a hundred and forty characters, talking with Roy is like hitting every red light on her way to the store. However, as with most people on the team, Cece doesn't actively dislike Roy, but she's more reluctant to spend time with him than some of the others.
D A N D E L I O N @Dead CruiserThe most recent member of the Renegades, Dandelion was rescued by the team while Cece was still in the process of moving into the penthouse. Another alien member of the team, Cece is uncharacteristically quiet around Dandelion, unsure of how to interact with the sentient alien. Like her other alien teammates, Cece has a lot of questions regarding Dandelion's relationship with the universe and how they perceive their creation. Beyond the occasional interaction, the two have yet to form any sort of meaningful relationship.
D O N O V A N, "Dash" J O N A T H A N @MetanoiaOne of the two 'Johnny's on the team, Jonathan, or Dash is something of an alternate universe counterpart to Cece. Both hail from Coast City, California but where Cece grew up on the right side of the tracks, Jonathan grew up on the wrong side. Both had their lives defined by a car crash, though Johnny's took his parents from him. Both were given what makes them 'super' against their will and both are blonde (Despite the accusations, Cece's is not from a bottle). Both have a degree of self-righteousness to them, though Charity would argue hers is tempered with grace where Dash seems to let his out in anger.
There's a mutual understanding between the two they probably will never see eye to eye but at least Jonathan's Scarab doesn't react poorly to Cece's augmentations the same way it does to some of the magic users on the team. In fact, the Scarab might be the only thing on the team that has a harder time with magic than Cece does.
H A Y E S, "Hay-Hay" H A Y D E N @DocTachyonThe youngest member of the team by a notable margin, though not the youngest mentally, Hayden doesn't have a whole lot in common with Charity. This isn't helped by Charity having initially assumed their gender. Since that initial interaction though, the two have gotten along with no further mishaps. Charity is amused by Hayden's ability, although the older girl definitely feels reluctance towards the idea of Julian putting one so young in the field with them, wishing instead that the team leader would simply provide Hayden a roof over their head and a place to train until they were of a more adequate age.
H A Z A R D, "Hanner" H A N A @psych0pompWhile Charity had always been the obedient daughter that her parents wanted, she got the impression that Hana was not and quite frankly, Cece is downright envious about how free-spirited Hana seems compared to hers. That and the bling bearing girl could fly, none of Cece's accessories made her capable of flight. Hana's brasher and more outspoken nature took some adjusting for Cece but she's learned to embrace it and knows that anytime Hana hangs out with the girls, they're bound to have some sort of adventure.
J A C O B S, "Vinnie" V I N C E N T @RomanDespite being the first official recruit that Julian brought on board, Vincent doesn't have that superhero thing going on. In fact, when Cece first ran into him, she thought someone had broken into the penthouse. Once she was thoroughly convinced he was no in fact a burglar, she spent some time getting to know Vincent. Though a far cry from what Charity would have expected Julian's first recruit to be, there's a certain worldly nature to Vincent that makes Charity feel like he's lived a life.
Plus his abilities are a real hit with her online community. Vincent has definitely run away from Cece more than once realizing she was tracking him down solely to put on a show for her followers.
L U T H O R, "Ju-Jube" J U L I A N @HillanLike most of the Renegades, Julian was the first face that Charity met when it came to joining the team. She had gotten the young Luthor's attention after a boomerang of her lifting a car in her old cheerleader uniform managed to go viral. Admittedly, that was less about the feat and more the cheerleader uniform. Nonetheless, Julian reached out and Charity's parents arranged for a meetup eventually agreeing to sponsor the Renegades' operations in exchange for their daughter being free to post videos and photos from their missions to her social media. Once the deal had been made, Julian confided in Cece that he didn't want the girl if it was against her own will and that her parents didn't have to pay for Cece to be a part of the team. Instead, the pair opted to anonymously reroute the money into charities for struggling youth.
Due to this, Cece has come to respect Julian and willingly complies with his leadership. The pair have a fairly mutual understanding and have a strong start to a very platonic relationship. As someone, who unlike Charity herself, is very technologically savvy, Julian has taken a strong interest in the technology used to rebuild Cece. Most of it goes over Cece's head, but she's pretty sure that Julian has muttered more than once about potential upgrades for her systems to make her more versatile.
M O R R O W, "Flash" R E D M O N D @Hound55It was through interacting with Red while they were both still new to the Renegades that Cece quickly learned modesty was a taught behaviour. Thankfully, Red no longer forgets to dress before entering common areas. Charity is absolutely fascinated by Red's child-like demeanour in the body of a giant and enjoys introducing the younger team member to new experiences to see the joy on his face as he tastes peanut butter or jumps on a trampoline for the first time. Unfortunately for Red, this also comes with the side effect of Cece only being capable of seeing the 'perfect man' as a younger brother.
O'B R I E N, "Irish" C O N O R @SepCece has noted that Conor is extremely camera shy, often scrambling to get out of the frame of any of her live videos and avoiding being photographed at all times. After one too many attempts to get Conor in a shot, the younger male let Cece know exactly where she could go. Sheepishly knocking on his door later that day, Cece apologized and offered to hug it out, sitting down and lending an ear to Conor. Once Charity understood that Conor had been exiled when his true nature came to light, the older teen smiled brightly and promised Conor she'd never let it happen again.
Since then, Cece has gone out of her way to ensure Conor wouldn't be at risk of getting caught on camera or uploaded to her social media accounts. In fact, Cece has grown to enjoy spending time with Conor as it allows her to disconnect. Conor's library is of great interest to Cece despite her leariness to all things magic, but she purely enjoys the 'antique aesthetic.'
R E N A U L T, "DD" J O H N N Y @rocketrobie2While aliens challenge Cece's faith, a car accident changed her life. So no matter how you cut it, Cece wasn't going to be the most receptive person upon finding out that Johnny Renault (full name only) wasn't super, he was an alien NASCAR driver. From day one, Cece has sworn that she will never get in that car, Hana can carry her in a ring bubble but there was no way Cece was riding inside of an alien death trap. Issues with his vehicle aside, Cece has no strong feelings for Johnny and creates him in the same enthusiastic sing-song tone that she does everyone else on the team.
It's the car she hates.
R I V E R O, "Gabi-Girl" G A B R I E L L A @NattyGabi and Cece share something of a one-sided relationship. Charity admires the younger girl for her active efforts to end the exploitation of her home, while Gabi is less than impressed at the way Cece squanders her numerous resources. Like most of the other magic users on the team, Cece is purposefully aloof about the source of Gabi's abilities, though not out of resentment or dismissal but unable to resolve at this time the source of Gabi's gifts with her own faith. This has not stopped Cece from striving to form a meaningful friendship with Gabi and being sure to include the younger girl in any activity the female team members get up to.
V A N H A G E N, "Kevvy" K E V I N @DejaOne of the older boys on the team, Kevin doesn't make Cece feel like an older sister or a babysitter which is a nice change of pace compared to the majority of her teammates. That said, the two could not have lived more different lives, Cece was raised in sunny California and Kevin was raised in the smog-covered skies of Gotham. Upper-class and privileged, Cece led a life of relative ease where Kevin literally fought for everything he has. The two have very different viewpoints on the world and very little common ground which has generated any real closeness between them at this time, but Charity respects Kevin's viewpoint and is always sure to give him the same attention she gives anyone else on the team.
V A S S, "Ay-lee's Comet" E I L I D H @StormflyxThere's something about talking to Eilidh that Cece just finds comforting. It's like the older girl always knows exactly what Cece is thinking or feeling. After an initial fumble on Cece's part where she thought that Eilidh's name was pronounced 'Eye-Lid' in a cruel twist of fate, the pair became quick friends. The only female older than Cece on the team, Charity looks up to Eilidh and admires how the other's lack of sight enables them to view the world in a completely different perspective from the superficially driven one forced upon Cece by her parents.
It's not uncommon to find the pair in a corner of the common areas giggling about something Cece has read in a magazine to Eilidh or for the pair to spend the night in each other's quarters enjoying girl time away from the other times overwhelming testosterone of their male teammates.
W I N D L E, S E L E N E @TackyTaffAlthough Selene's mythological origins are more than a little loss on Cece, she still admires the younger girl and feels for her. The idea of having nowhere else to go is absolutely heartbreaking to Charity. Though leary of magical powers due to a more 'conservative' upbringing and her own personal faith, Cece can't help but admire the abilities that Selene has been, in Cece's own words, blessed with.
On a personal level, Cece considers Selene a friend although their relationship is only blossoming due to Cece's shorter time with the Renegades. She feels confident in Selene's presence and enjoys getting together with the other girl to chat and hang out or even sneak out of the penthouse for an impromptu shopping trip.
Y E L K I A N, V A R O @TheyraVaro presents an interesting challenge to Cece. As both an alien and someone who uses magic (alien magic?), Cece has trouble rationalizing their existence and often badgers them with questions about faith on their homeworld. This has resulted in Varo finding Cece exhausting to be around more than once, especially since she loves to do their little 'discussions' with a phone in front of his face because as Cece puts it, "her followers want to know!"
