Hayli - the new blonde barmaid working with Jaya and Suli. Hired for extra help for the bar, what most don't know is that she is also the eyes and ears for Indira.
Ralik - Those that stay a little passed closing at the bar might notice a non-descriptive man entering briefly with a small package in hand. This is that man. Jaya's 'informant' of all things up north….for a fee.
Shijan - Jaya's bodyguard and protection currently on loan from Indira. Outward appearances show that this relationship is purely professional - especially considering that at least in public, they barely talk to each other.
Suli - Hired by Jaya to help run the bar. Suli looks intimidating, but she's a pinch in making any drink under the sun. Was born in Telgar Weyr, so she's well-versed in how things are run at Eastern. Hasn't been to Eastern long.
Tackas - A Telgar guard that was hired by Jaya to keep her from under the eyes of Vaputero. Currently, their arrangement has been terminated since she moved to Eastern Weyr. There's a dubious connection between Tackas and Suli, however.
Vaputero - Criminal boss in Bitra and Jaya's former employer. Bust-gone-bad and high tempers have Jaya on the run from this man and his formidable revenge. Dangerous renegade and the center of Jaya's fears.
Keane - Shady owner of the Blood and Bucket tavern in Telgar, and as such used to be her boss. Considers him one of the few friends she's got left - even if she's not above giving him a hard time. Also considers him a father figure in her life.
Randi - Despite the fact that she "allowed" the junior weyrwoman to win her employment through a chance card game at the Blood and Bucket, Jaya currently has no ill feelings towards her. She doesn't know her as well, either, but it's something she hopes to remedy.
Max - Things started out shaky and rather intense between the two (broken nose and all), which recently ended badly. Now there is underlying trust, respect and understanding between the two, though the attraction the Bitran feels for the new southern crimelord has not abated. The man earned her friendship through perserverence, but one would not help but wonder if there was more to their relationship beneath the surface.
Rocio - After the woman admits to killing someone on their first encounter, Jaya feels a draw to Rocio. But now, having gotten to know the glow tender, Jaya is pressed to give respect to this woman for her bravery. Since Rocio (now Rio)'s Impression to gold Eovarijath, the friendship between the weyrling and the bar tender has solidified. Regarding her as a confidant, Jaya has since revealed her true self to Rio (and Rio the same to her) and feels the most comfortable around her. She would do anything for the woman. Rio has definitely earned Jaya's tough loyalty.
Indira - There's something about the Headwoman that Jaya just doesn't like. At least, initially. There's definitely similarities between the two, which has the barkeep drawn to her. Intrigued and wants to know more about Indira's past, Jaya currently has no ill feeling with the older woman. In fact, the two have become amicable through various events and mutual understandings. The bond's strengthened through Indira's relationship with Jaya's former boss, Keane.
Nenienne - Jaya has currently no ill feeling about the jewelry smith/candidate. Finds her friendly and safe enough to let her hair down around.
E'ro - With E'ro being only kind and non-threatening in her presence, Jaya currently has no ill feeling with the bronzerider. She finds him safe enough to be around.
Leron - Non-threatening, so there's currently no ill-feeling for him. Despite the fact that he manages to confound her everytime they meet, she is hard-pressed to admit that she actually likes the former stablehand. Considers Leron (now L'ron) one of her few friends at the Weyr.
Ahnika - Now that Jaya realizes that this candidate is Max's 'someone else', she really wants to hate Ahni. But, for some reason she does not understand, she just can't do it. Some kind of grudging respect seems to be growing from the fact that the Ahnika is as blunt as her, which could very well lead them into a friendship despite the circumstances.
Merendezen - Deduced he's both a potential threat and a potential ally in one meeting, Jaya is wary and intrigued by Zen. There's an easiness here where Zen reminds her of the men she's associated with in the past. A quiet respect, even, for his trusting her with one of his darkest secrets.
Jonavan - His sense of humor amused and attracted her from the start, and the fact that he's older than her captures Jaya's interest. As time passed, the dynamic between the two has since cooled through frustrations and misunderstandings. Only time will tell if the two can return to the neutral and friendly waters that was their previous foundation.
Kaskan - The guard from South Boll has gained her attraction as much as she doesn't want to be. No longer a threat due to having learned of the man's checkered past - and it helps that he is Rio's former lover. Their relationship no longer sexually-charged and replaced with a growing bond, the Bitran considers Kaskan one of her close friends at the Weyr.
Lorayit - The Weyr's new gardener is certainly a charmer, but Jaya can handle him like she can most men. Well-traveled, cultivated, and carries some of the same vices she does, the barkeep feels comfortable around him enough to let her hair down around. It also helps that Suli actually approves of him being around the bar, when she's against most that come by. Considers him an associate, if not a friend.
Bowen - Jaya's had a few encounters with the weyrtanner and finds him to be decent and safe enough to be around. Finds his values of doing right interesting - even though her values tend to fall on the opposite side of the spectrum. Made her really nice boots, so that puts him in the reliable category. The fact that he knows a bit about her situation makes him a cut above those that don't, and so time will tell whether or not they will become friends.
