Tia isn't a rival, isn't an enemy, and isn't a friend. It's hard to say what her relationship is with Tia. On the day Tia left the Spirit World, the Fire Dragon imbued the healing Flames in her scales. All this was to teach Tia a lesson for leaving the Spirit World only to return wounded! Ragnar yearned to make Tia look up to her in respect! To this day, Ragnar still goes into practice, repeating and trimming the words she would spout at Tia when she finally comes back home.
