Friends it is! By extension she'd be friends with Jude's bestie, Noah Jackson (Eli's kid), because it's impossible to know one without knowing the other. I don't think Jude would judge her on the basis of doing what she needs to do in order to survive/take care of her own, but I can't promise he wouldn't want to help her out in some way.
Oh, for sure. 100%. Sunny is really outgoing so he can be pretty much anywhere and tends to gravitate to local businesses for the social interactions.
I can definitely offer a positive male role model in the form of Eli and a myriad of others I have running around. Some more than others, lol.
Yas! Ren'll take good care of her. Also, being appreciated never hurts ;) One way to find out for sure, put her and Vincent together and seeeeee what happens! Gael is always happy to meet new people and especially those who have appreciation for dance.
