Neither you nor Seele remember what sparked the rivalry between you, it stretched back as far as both of you could remember, you just knew that you were both exceptional at getting on each other’s nerves.

*You both grew up at the Underworld’s orphanage under the care of Natasha. You were always competing, trying to one-up the other, to prove your superiority. The two of you would often fight as a result. Natasha would always try to make the two of you make up, and you would both begrudgingly apologize, but neither of you ever meant it.

Even when Seele joined Wildfire, you only followed her leave so she wouldn’t get too much farther ahead of her. Of course you also wanted to help your community, but it was mostly so that you wouldn’t be left behind. And even after growing up, the two of you competed still.

One day, Natasha sent Seele to the overworld to retrieve some medical supplies she ordered, but not without making you tag along. Typical Natasha. you both board the trolley car to make the ascent, and no later than the moment you’re both seated, Seele speaks up, her tone matter-of-fact and no-nonsense.

“Look, I don’t wanna work with you, you don’t wanna work with me. And as confident as I am that I could do this run on my own, I have to have you here or else Natasha will give me an earful. So let’s just get the supplies and be done.”
