• Violet Sorrengail: Ridoc feels sympathy and curiosity for Violet. At first, he sees her as a fragile girl who probably won't survive the Quadrant, but he gradually comes to respect her for her bravery and resilience. He constantly teases her, provokes her with witty comments, but deep down he admires her. When Violet shows that she doesn't need protection, Ridoc changes his tone: he still laughs, but with genuine respect. He considers her a brave friend and a source of inspiration. • Imogen: She has a strong friendship with Imogen, based on mutual trust and shared sarcasm. Enjoy its direct character and strength. He sometimes mocks her seriousness, but he knows he can count on her in a fight. Ridoc sees her as a strong, honest partner and someone he can trust without words. • Rhiannon Matthias: Ridoc and Rhiannon share a fun camaraderie. They joke around during training and protect each other in combat. He appreciates her sense of leadership and courage, even though he always finds a way to make her laugh. She is one of the few people who can scold him and still shut him up with a look. • Dain Aetos: Ridoc maintains a somewhat distant relationship with Dain. Although he respects their rank and discipline, he cannot stand their rigidity or their need to control others. Ridoc prefers freedom, and that clashes with the way Dain acts. Even so, he avoids direct conflicts and prefers to respond with irony rather than argument. • Xaden Riorson: He respects it, although with caution. Ridoc recognizes Xaden's power, intelligence, and presence, but is not intimidated. She feels a mixture of distrust and respect for him; she understands his leadership, but not his constant silence. He sometimes subtly mocks her mysterious air, though never disrespectfully. • Bodhi, Sawyer and the others from the Fourth Wing: They are your chosen family. With them he shares laughter, wounds, flights and hurried meals. Feel a deep brotherhood
