== Relationships == [[Kayto Shields]] Out of everyone on the Sunrider, the Captain is undoubtedly the one she has the deepest and most complicated relationship to. Kayto is one of Ava's oldest remaining friends and, in the wake of Cera City's destruction, quite possibly the only person from her past life that still lives. She and Kayto were the respective President and Vice President of the Student Council in school, during which they grew very close. On the last day of Ava's final year at school, she and Kayto shared a very brief romance as they had their first kiss with each-other, with Kayto later staying over at Ava's apartment and sleeping with her directly before she left. In fact, Kayto only enlisted in the Space Force in order to eventually be with Ava, promising her he'd find her one day and that they would serve on the same ship together as Captain and First Officer - a prediction that ended up coming true, but ironically reversed as Kayto ended up becoming the Captain instead of Ava. However, their relationship never progressed after the day Ava left, as Ava never returned Kayto's messages after she left for the Cera Space Force, burying herself in her work and moving on with her life as she assumedly did not want Kayto to waste his life on a promise that may never be fulfilled. Ava respects Kayto immensely as both a person and a commander, denoting that Kayto's unorthodox methods are often more effective then traditional tactical methods and that Kayto's flexibility and resourcefulness makes him a better Captain then Ava herself could have been. However, she is also at times frustrated by his antics and occasionally lax regard for security protocols - most commonly seen by the many unconventional recruits Kayto has accepted to fill out the Sunrider's Ryder roster. Kayto is perhaps the only person Ava will be even remotely unguarded with, arguably trusting him more then anyone else on the ship and showing her softer side to him in how she can be at least mildly sardonic around him. She also, in spite of her apparent desire to leave her old romantic feelings in the past, still cares about Kayto deeply, as she was easily irritated by the memory of Kayto's many escapades in dating. In the Novel, it is further revealed that, even though she never replied to them and only listened to around half of them, Ava had kept every message that Kayto sent her during their years apart from each-other and, when looking at them, even starts questioning herself as to why she kept them if she really had let go of Kayto like she claimed she had. However, in spite of clearly still harboring some feelings of attachment for him, Ava has no desire to rekindle any romantic spark between her and Kayto, citing duty and obligation to their people as taking precedence above such things - but perhaps more then that, it speaks of a possibility that Ava simply doesn't want Kayto to get close to her out of fear of loss and sorrow, as one or both of them could die during the war, and thus it would be unfair to emotionally impair either one of their respective sense of judgement or become more attached then necessary to someone who could be killed any time they go to battle. When Kayto confessed that he still loved Ava in the wake of their escape from Helion, Ava briefly teared up before replying after a moment that she couldn't return his feelings, even going so far as to say she didn't remember the promise Kayto made to be with her in space at the end of school. All in all, it is obvious that Ava still cares for Kayto, but she is unwilling to let romantic attachments endanger their abilities to perform, or obstruct their goal of liberating Cera from PACT, feeling that he should not waste time on her when it would be better spent defeating PACT. She is unwilling to compromise her duties or Kayto's, be it for his feelings or her own, resolved to keep the two of them focused on the only goal she feels matters - stopping PACT and saving Cera - even if it means turning aside the one person she may have ever truly loved or perhaps even her own present feelings to him, whatever they may be at this point. [[Asaga Oakrun]] Ava is often easily frustrated by Asaga's antics aboard the Sunrider, blaming her as a source of general inefficiency and cracking down on her when the latter tries to do things such as play video games on the internal network or gambling on card games. She had been openly disbelieving of Asaga's behavior, not quite able to believe that anyone sane could talk like Asaga - in fact, in the Sunrider novelization, Asaga's holovid-style hero-type personality actually left Ava convinced she was hallucinating from drinking too much coffee, pinching herself to be sure she wasn't going crazy. She initially remarks that Asaga is a thrill-seeker and not someone she wishes to bet their lives on, and disagrees with Asaga's optimism of trying to save all innocents, feeling the girl has a nieve view of war. However, over time, Ava comes to respect Asaga's skills as a pilot, and as Asaga grows as both a pilot and a person, Ava seems to become more tolerant of the self-proclaimed "hero of justice." She did not comment on discovering Asaga's true identity as the princess of Ryuvia, Asaga di Ryuvia, but given her mindset, it is likely that Ava's opinions are the same as Sola's - that Asaga is a long way from being a queen. [[Chigara Lynn Ashada]] Ava was naturally skeptical of the generosity of anyone owning a bakery & starship port hybrid shop, and was generally as unsure initially as she was of Asaga. However, Chigara's brilliance with technology has earned Ava's firm respect as a member of the crew, although she still personally feels that the engineer needs to buckle down a bit more. It is also possible that she may have issue with some of Chigara's non-regulation or unauthorized continual modifications to the ship, as Kayto had warned Chigara that Ava may not approve of the concealed cameras the engineer had placed around the engineering section. [[Icari Isidolde]] There was every reason to distrust the mercenary Icari when she was first brought aboard, as Ava had found more then enough professional assassination tools on her to deem her a threat to minor governments. Ava has not shown much of a fondness for Icari's laid-back attitude toward rules and regulations, but at the same time she seems to respect Icari's more pragmatic side, agreeing with the logic of how the greater good outweighs tends to outweigh immediate moral concerns. Like most of the unconventional recruits brought aboard the Sunrider, Icari has over time earned Ava's respect with her expertise at slicing, computer programming and security countermeasures. [[Claude Triello]] Ava had a very underwhelming impression of Claude during their first meeting, and it has not improved by much since then. Claude is messy, irresponsible, lazy with her paperwork or duties in general and prone to leaving things in both her quarters and the bath areas in states of general disorganization. Ava was disgruntled at how easily Kayto let Claude aboard the ship - as the chief medical officer no less - right out of the gate, and her frustrations from Claude's rather promiscuous antics toward Kayto have done nothing to assuage her grievances. She holds little tolerance for Claude's antics and even less for the acting doctor's desire to play matchmaker among members of the crew seemingly for her own amusement. Out of all the crew-members, Claude is perhaps the only one to have not earned much respect from Ava since joining the Sunrider - although this may have possibly changed in the wake of Claude saving Kayto's life in surgery, after Kayto was injured during the Sunrider's escape from the Legion at Helion. [[Kryska Stares]] There has been relatively little interaction between Ava and the Alliance's liaison officer, but by all indications, their mindsets suggest that they would get along well. Both have very similar personalities and attitudes to their work, placing military logic and situational necessity for the long-term goal over immediate moral concerns. Both are willing to ascribe to war-time logic, and both, while saddened by loss, accept that sometimes grim things must be done in times of conflict. Both are dedicated to victory over PACT and reclaiming the worlds taken by them, and both place an emphasis on military doctrine in their lives. However, Kryska is still more capable of being open then Ava is, and can relax more easily then the Commander, as shown by her half-friendly rivalry with Icari. At the very least, Kryska was able to relax and enjoy the crew's R&R on Lydia station, whereas Ava all but broke down from an inability to cope with the lack of work. Kryska is also more tomboyish then Ava, as she is not afraid to get into things like friendly sparring matches. While they do not interact enough to be sure, it is likely that, like most of the other Ryder pilots, Kryska's skills and her dedication to her job and fellows has earned Ava's respect and mitigated the distrust and suspicion the Commander felt at bringing an Alliance Black-Ops aboard the ship. [[Sola vi Ryuvia]] Sola's quiet nature and Ava's general lack of fraternization among the crew has left little time for the pair to interact, but this also means that Sola perhaps comes into the least amount of conflict with Ava. Both are generally stoic, serious and do not waste time mincing words. However, it is likely that, like Kryska, these things and their general lack of conflict make Sola one of the more easily respectable people to Ava, and it is probable that Ava can respect Sola's act of sacrifice in her own time two-thousand years prior for the sake of the whole. Sola does nothing to really interfere with Ava's workload, nor has she done anything to warrant overt observation. In short, they don't bother each-other, and are perfectly content keeping things that way. [[Admiral Harold Grey]] Ava holds some degree of respect for the aged Admiral of the Solar Alliance's military fleets. She seems to agree with his focused, directed and no-nonsense approach to dealing with PACT, and believes that the Alliance may need someone such as him leading them if they want to not only defeat PACT but have a stable grip on buckling down the Alliance afterwords. She even agrees with the notion of covering up the accidental deaths caused at Ongress by the Alliance during Kayto's resuce, for the sake of preserving the Alliance's morale and stability so as not to splinter trust and group focus when it is most needed against PACT. [[Cosette Cosmos]] Ava has shown little open acknowledgment of personal feelings regarding Cosette aside from a single brief sentence - that, in her opinion, Cosette is nothing short of a madwoman. It is likely she considers Cosette a dangerous enemy and PACT sympathizer who should be handled with the utmost caution - Ava quickly recognizes that provoking Cosette's temper is not necessarily the smartest of moves when dealing with her. [[Veniczar S. Arcadius]] It goes without saying that Ava has every possible reason to hate Arcadius. After conquering Cera, nuking her home city from orbit, destroying their navy and causing unchecked slaughter across the neutral rim, Ava has practically made it her mission in life to end Arcadius' reign and defeat PACT once and for all. In the Novel, she further regards Arcadius as having gone well past any attempt to justify his actions as being pragmatic, finding him callous to the point of wastefulness in how he could casually sacrifice his forces at Far Port just to strike the Alliance forces when he could have avoided the act altogether by being more strategic about it. [[Veniczar B. Fontana]] Ava has voiced little regarding the young man near the head of the PACT military, but it is likely that she respects Fontana for his reputation as a brilliant tactician, both in battle and in improving his military's overall structure. She considered him enough of a threat to warn Kayto not to underestimate him in battle, which she had rarely done for any other adversary aside from Cosette Cosmos and Arcadius himself. In the Novelization, it is hinted that Ava, like Asaga, finds Fontana to be attractive - to the point that even she herself slightly loses her composure when seeing him the first time in person, requiring Kayto to snap her attention back to the task at hand. [[Veniczar B. Cullen]] Ava has not voiced much opinion of Cullen aside from acknowledging him as one of the more prominent members of PACT's leadership. [[Maray Shields]] Ava's relationship toward Maray was not as extensive as the one with Kayto. They knew each-other and met often as Kayto was usually spending time with Ava as her second in the Student Council, and since Ava often stayed over at Kayto's apartment since her own father was usually gone on deployment with the Space Force. While Ava seemed mildly annoyed by Maray's antics toward calling Ava and Kayto a couple, she seemed to be relatively found of the younger member of the Shields family. Ava remarks once that she would rather not think about how many people were lost at Cera that they will never see again - Maray is likely one of these. [[Ava's Father]] Ava seemed to always be on distant terms at best with her father, due to his job in the Cera Space Force keeping him away from home most of the time. The most eventful thing she spoke about that they did together was when he would tell her ghost stories about starship graveyards when she was little. Ava also seemed to develop some possible sense of embitterment with her father, as she told Kayto during school that she was only joining the space force because of her father, though it's unknown whether it was that she felt pressured into doing so or whether her father directly influenced her enlistment. In the Sunrider Novelization, Ava's relationship with her father is expanded upon more - it is revealed that Ava's father was the commanding officer aboard the Cera vessel Gallant, which was one of the casualties of the Legion's assault on the Cera Space Force, and she privately remarks that it was unlikely he would have abandoned ship. It is also revealed that much of Ava's stern and disciplined mentality stems from her father's teachings in trying to elevate her above the "mediocrity" of average civilians, and that his holding her to a higher standard of performance all her life may be a large contributor in her "bottom-line first, victory at all costs" mentality, as he apparently disliked frivolity and fraternization. {{Navbox Characters}} [[category:Characters]]
