Week 56! (Patreon)

So in an effort to keep up these updates as to have some behind the scenes meat on their bones after the Randomly-Generated Characters series, let's do a series on the various couples of Furthia High to see what I can remember in making them couples and stuff.

So firstly we have the big couple of the comic, since it has the main character in it, Kale and Eve. Now, back in the Week 49 update, I did pretty much go into Kale and Eve's relationship and the creation of it, but to reiterate, Kale getting a girlfriend was tied into a desire to bring out more of the young relationships aspect of high school dramas (and also an obsession with ring-tailed lemurs in 2008) back when the comic was more high school-oriented in themes and direction.

When looking back, a thing I actually think I did unconsciously, though, is that I seemed to have made each of the relationships in Furthia High somewhat unique in terms of how a relationship can be and go. With Kale and Eve, it's pretty much as wholesome and innocent and as "good" of a relationship as you can get. The two have grown to love each other sincerely over the course of the comic, to the point that it's implied that Eve is the one person Kale has intentionally told about the weird mind/dream stuff he's been involved with. There's a very deep level of trust there where Kale feels that Eve is the only person he can trust to be his rock for him in these weird and trying times. 

So, in the scale of relationships, I guess I would say Kale and Eve's is about as good as you can get, to the point that Campy came to Kale to ask about relationship advice since Kale's was so good and Campy's... not so much (we'll get to them in the next update). It's very idyllic, which is probably a pretty nice thing to happen to someone as lonely as the last of his kind in the entire world.
