Jacob/Relationships

Jake
Master and servant. Jake is determined to see the two of them rise to the top of the Shadows House and is always encouraging Jacob to take steps in order to fulfill these ambitions, much to their mutual frustration. As his Living Doll, Jacob expects perfection from Jake, and so he neither acknowledges nor is impressed by Jake's otherwise exceptional abilities, sometimes leading to frustration on the latter's part, and an underlying tension of dissatisfaction between the two of them.

Arielle
Debutante classmate.

Freya
Debutante classmate. A Shadow who indulges his laziness and does the legwork of defending him from other Shadows' opinions. She is one of the few who understands his personality, and he has deemed her worth keeping around for both that, and how conveniently devoted to him she is. He favors her, simply because she favors him, though any further regard for her is prevented by the disapproval of Jake, who would prefer his master to keep company with more outstanding Shadows.

Norman
Debutante classmate.

Leonora
Debutante classmate. A busybody who Jacob thinks is unelegant and bothersome. She is one of the few who can get his blood pressure rising through a good argument, but he much prefers to give her a wide berth.
