Canon:

Nonon: We were sort of frenemies through the show! Like, friends who teased/pranked each other at every opportunity. We eventually saw each other as sisters. After Mako and I officially got together, we invited her on shopping trips sometimes. (More info on her page below!)Nui: She switched to our side in the final battle, though hinted at wanting to do so earlier on, though we didn't really believe her til she did it. She survived the course of canon despite the rest playing out the same. Over a long time, and after she was coached a whole bunch by Satsuki, we managed to put our issues with each other aside, but it took many many years to truly accept her as a sibling. She eventually ran her own boutique, and also helped coach me on dealing with my Life Fibers at times, which I appreciate. (More info from her perspective on her own page below!)Mako: Our date that we promised each other on the final episode was an overwhelming success, and we wholeheartedly decided to actually stay together and be GIRLFRIENDSE! We stayed with her family for a few months before deciding to move out into our own apartment. It took us forever to get furniture because we were pretty happy just hanging out on the floor with pillows and sleeping bags (and also saving the money). Mako's mom had to come over and make us dinner a lot, since for a long time, we were awful at figuring out how to cook.Senketsu: Despite trying to remain stoic, Senketsu often worried for me for various reasons. He tried to keep it to himself most of the time, but because I was always wearing him, and worked out his expressive cues, I could always tell. And damn did I appreciate it. Even though Nui didn't sacrifice herself, Ragyo still managed to get into space somehow, so Senketsu still ended up the same as in canon. I didn't show it publicly because I still wanted to still seem like I was tough, but I grieved for months. Most of the time I could handle it, but some nights I had to sneak out to just walk it out and cry. Sometimes Mako snuck out with me if she caught me leaving. I had managed to keep the red glove, which I wore whenever I could despite it not having any of his consciousness attached to it. Due to Life Fiber shenanigans, it eventually ended up bound to my hand permanently, the same one that would later change form, also due to the Life Fibers.The Elite Four + Aikuro: After being a bit distant from them for a while after moving out with Mako, we all started hangin out again, sometimes also with Aikuro. We had a lot of nights where we watched movies or played board/video games. We most definitely played Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Mako didn't play too often because she preferred to watch and cheer everyone on, especially the ones who were losing.Satsuki: I don't have any distinct memories about her yet, but I think we tried to stay close as sisters. We got kinda close after the end of the show, but once she got super busy with her new job running REVOCS, she didn't often have time for any of us. We invited her to a lot of game nights, but I don't recall her ever showing up. She may have managed to attend most Christmas parties though, but I'm not sure.

Myself + The Life Fibers: After maybe between 3-5 years post-show-canon, my Life Fibers reactivated again, causing various changes. The exact timing of each change they caused is uncertain, as they appeared over a longass period of time. What I remember so far:
- sharpened teeth (I kinda liked that, it went with my Badass Aesthetic)
- occasionally causing my blood to literally boil and threaten to cause a mini berserk mode if my emotions got too intense. This obviously hurt like hell, but it would only rarely make me have to take a sick day.
- causing one arm to unravel into a helix (a la ARMS. Despite them being separate universes, the ARMS trait, as well as Life Fibers, are both derived from the Spiral in my canon). The arm took after Senketsu in terms of coloring, but could function normally, plus the abilities that ARMS grants. I usually hid it with sleeves and a glove. Mako was the only one to know about it, at least for as long as was possible.
I also gained a few abilities from this as well, though I'm unsure of how much I put them to use:
- Initiating a controlled berserk mode as mentioned above. Nowhere near as visually terrifying/impressive as when it happened during the show, unless I put a lot of energy into it. May have used it to defend friends and family from the occasional creep.
- Temporarily morphing parts of my body. Most practical use was changing fingers to blades to cut food or packages. I think eventually I was able to generate things like the wings from Senketsu Shippu on my back, after much training from Nui.
- Regeneration ability always remained intact. At times this concerned me about what that would mean for my mortality.

Later on in canon: After many years of occasional planning, and attempts to convince me to just give it a shot, several of us decided to go about the world together to try to gather up some of the remaining active Life Fibers. The plan was to bring these to Nui, somehow retrieve Senketsu's consciousness, and piece him back together. I don't remember yet how this went, or if it was successful, but I do remember eventually getting Senketsu back.

She called Senketsu stinky all the time and she STILL does >:(
She hid in my locker one time to ambush me but then I just locked her in there until lunch. That's what u GET
