Step away and Burn [Moscow]

Moscow

Friends

Moscow, as a general rule, doesn't have friends. She's shy to begin with, as well as not appreciating physical contact, but people also either tend to hate or fear her because of who she is and who her country is. Her general state of distraction and choice of leisure activities can also make interaction hard, given they're either dull (reading, going to the ballet) or things that seem more like work (fixing cars). She likes when she does have friends, and does her best to be a good friend when she does have friends. Moscow does warm up to people once she starts trusting them and once she knows that she won't be spoken poorly of, given her personal views and opinions.

Enemies

Although calm and diplomatic, Moscow is by no means forgiving. She will behave with cold politeness to anyone that has wronged her or any of her few friends, but that is as far as her diplomacy extends. Beyond that forgiveness doesn't come until she deems that person deserving (and few ever earn forgiveness, her distrust can and has lasted centuries). Her dislike, however, doesn't reach physical violence unless she's hurt first. Should that happen, she won't hold back in her retaliation.

Lovers

Moscow has a hard time grasping the concept of a lover. She knows what they are, but she really is clueless about what one does with one. She's far more focused on work and duties and keeping everything in order than having a significant other. Should someone ask her out, she falls into her usual shy behavior, tries to make herself look small and gets very quiet. Any crushes she might develop always come last on a list of importance. Should she ever have a relationship, she'd have trouble with it given her general shy behavior and mild social ineptitude.

Paris will be in a separate plot on her own account since she's speshul, so have both Transylvania and Shanghai to keep you company.

Maybe it's because Romania, in the past, works for Russia (or USSR) so maybe Cosmina, at some point, woud know Moscow somewhere along the lines. Well, knowing how dull in the head slightly air-headed that she is, I think she won't mind Svet's company and since she also likes some stuff like ballet and reading, Cosmina seems to might warm herself up to her. Anyway, since Cosmina's more of a maid of a State than an actual, regal type, I think Svet won't find it difficult to actually be with her company, y'know. Ten cents of thoughts on your side?

Not really sure how it'll pan out, considering she's a city and Svet's a capital, but maybe compared to full-on scared on the large nation, she'll be still respectful on Moscow. I mean, she doesn't seem so bad but I picture that Shanghai will have a degree that she's not too spitefully scared of her but also not exactly buddy-buddy with her. Kinda like she just being nice to her out of respect and not having her head skewered by Russia in the end of the day. But, thankfully, she's not exalting vengeance on her. Thank Russia for that.

Moscow & Transylvania

I agree. Moscow wouldn't mind that Transylvania comes across as dull, because Moscow is perceived that way a lot (she's smart, but Western concepts confuse her). I can see Sveta actually appreciating her company, especially if they share interests. The fact that Romania has also never really had a war against Russia (to my knowledge) and has sided with Russia for wars and such would also make Sveta much more likely to trust Cosmina, seeing as it's hard for her to get over herself or Russia being slighted, injured, or fought against in anyway.

Moscow & Shanghai

It seems most people fear and/or respect Moscow because she's Russia's capital, so I find that completely plausible. Moscow wouldn't find it weird or even worrying because she's used to people fearing her or showing her respect. Sveta would probably view Shanghai as just another city that it's necessary to interact with. She wouldn't be in any way rude or even cold, but she wouldn't be exactly welcoming either.
