raven > zel
Raven really likes Zelgadis. She gravitate to him the first day she was here, on fourth wall, because of how he looked and the hope he would understand what it’s like to be different. Of course, that was a someone selfish assumption on one hand, to single him out for that without revealing herself—but that came in time and with trust. He was the only person she wanted to see when she wasn’t able to disguise herself, when he literally avoided all other contact. Freaking out, it was him who made her feel… alright.
Of course, Raven has a thing where her feelings tug her towards people when they show her attention. She honestly likes Zel, make no mistake, but her affection could also be caused by confused feelings towards his attention and compassion. She’s wanted someone to accept her for who she is for so long, she leaps at what he can offer her because he’s like her in so many ways. She may just be confusing platonic love and adoration for attraction, but that’s not to say she doesn’t truly find him attractive. (She likes him. She’s attracted to him. But for what reasons, is the question.)
Most definitely she wants to stick by him, considering him… easily the person she’s closest to in the dome. Whether they work out as an item or not (fumbling attraction and reverting to friends is something I love ngl) she will always likely want his opinion on things, valuing it above that of mannnny others.
