braxton | father
'oh, god, no,' has to be one of braxton's catchphrases when it comes to trying to take care of his daughter. kalari worries him often thanks to her habits, and when mohatu's not around somebody has to watch the young bean make use of her pent-up energy. being family-oriented as he is, braxton cares deeply for kal as he should. although kalari always manages to get to him and worry him half to death, brax doesn't really reprimand her or get angry, and that's one reason why kal loves him so much.
he has, however, spoken to her in a way that she has enough understanding about how dangerous her behavior is and how it could possibly lead to injury. he's prevented her from various painful landings by giving her protective gear and by simply giving her advice. another great thing about father brax is that he's always open to cuddles, something kal would never say no to - even when they're in the music studio! there, kalari also has fun playing the drums and pretending she's a rockstar, something brax will call her often. other nicknames include 'superstar,' 'shooting star,' 'professional skateboarder' and kal's all-time favorite, 'my little treasure.'

mohatu | father
assassin dad is best dad - well, as good as metal dad at best. still, whenever braxton's protective ways become too much for kal to handle, she knows she can just scramble on top of mohatu and be with him instead, sticking her tongue out at a somewhat insulted braxton as she does. while mohatu's advice for kalari usually goes against what braxton says, kalari usually follows advice from him over brax's more restrictive words. after all, who wouldn't? as lenient as mohatu is, though, he can see the boundary between safety and what's just a little bit too dangerous. let's take 'jumping from the roof into the pool with a distance of two meters over a fire with snags tied around her tail' for an example, even if kalari was only joking about that [ it was totally a joke and wasn't something she would have really done. right? right? ] either way, mohatu proves to be a better snuggle pillow than braxton, but when he's showing off some of his assassin moves, bloody oath if she could pull those off... won't stop her from trying, though! it's a wonder why she hasn't broken any bones yet.

nuka | younger brother
when nuka was born, kalari was still a rather young bean. still, she was already energetic and sparky, so when she learned that she couldn't take nuka outside to play with just yet, she got a bit disappointed about it. nowadays, the two are on pretty good terms. kalari often refers to nuka as her little wombat brother, both when he's there to hear it and not. kalari doesn't usually let nuka join in on her adventures and antics, mostly because she still sees him as the fragile little brother he was back then. the fact that brax and mohatu wouldn't let her play with him when he was still a child kind of stuck itself on her brain and wouldn't let go. because of this, kalari often underestimates her brother, since he's but a little bean in her eyes, just like when he was a newborn. this doesn't really strain their relationship unless the topic of going outside comes into mind, though - when kalari isn't on her skateboard or running about, she enjoys playing games with nuka and being with him in general. her allusion of him as young and fragile still winds them up in some undesirable situations like 'i'm not a kid anymore, sis,' but for the most part, nuka's finally beginning to grow up when seen from kalari's point of view. nuka's arrogance, for the most part, bypasses kalari's awareness - she never really sees how he acts, even now.

aisling | younger sister
aisling is kalari's little fluff bundle of a sister. because kalari was older by the time aisling was born, she'd understood to leave the little beanling alone and not try to pull her into any of kal's outrageously careless stunts. as she had grown to be even more of a rebel than before, kalari tended to ignore aisling as they both grew. while kalari doesn't spend much time with her, she does try to rub off on aisling. while she knows she shouldn't influence her too much, she often gets too far ahead of herself and sputters, talks, laughs, and jokes around aisling in a manner that would definitely leave its mark on her. of course, this is anything but intentional. kalari simply wants what's best for her younger sister to make up for not being able to take her on some skateboard rides - which, oddly, is something she blames herself for instead on the constant progression of time and the undeniable age difference between them. while aisling does have a rather few band-aids on her that border between her elegant appearance, kalari still views her little sister as someone who holds herself high... and yet, she hopes to build a closer relationship with little aisling in the future.

yoichi | ' enemy '
when the word enemy comes to mind, what follows after is usually a depiction of a strained and toxic relationship of two individuals fueled by utter hate. in yoichi's case, there's no better way to describe it. however when it comes to kalari, things are a little bit more... complicated, to say the least. let's start with the basics. yoichi and kalari are simply polar opposites. the older bean's eloquence and grace differs massively from kalari and her ways of having fun, laughing until she snorts only to laugh even harder. while yoichi is simply revolted and repulsed by the sight of the young bean's 'outrageous' personality in its full glory, kalari simply sees yoichi as both a source of entertainment and someone to laugh at from a distance. something like the uptight, perfectionist character who will walk with only the lightest of steps, wear only the cleanest and prettiest clothing appropriate, and only talk in an accent that appears both polite and degrading to others. to kalari, yoichi fills that exact slot. it's one thing to simply be herself when she's around yoichi, but in some cases kal will make an effort to annoy the older bean until yoichi looks like she could pop a blood vessel.

bra'dach | friend ? ' big bro ? '
let's just say that while their relationship isn't as bad as the one between kal and yoichi, this one's still pretty interesting in some way. when kalari first met the pink bean, her first reaction was - as with many other beans - the need to call out 'friend !!' and run over to give him a hug. unfortunately for dach, he doesn't like unauthorized hugs, especially not from little frizzy beans with dust and countless tiny twigs snagged in her fur. kal annoys dach constantly with her begging for his attention when she's about to do an ollie on her skateboard with a string of snags around her neck. it's almost a one-sided platonic love, as kal sees dach as a brother of sorts. after all, she's never had an older sibling. this is one relationship in which kal's lack of understanding for privacy takes place - she will try to climb on dach's back and harass him from every possible angle in the hopes that he would look at her and smile. that's really the only point of her trying to get his eyes on her - just so she could make him happy. he's always looked a bit too down for her liking, after all.

maddox | friend
maddox the nonbinary bean met kalari when they were both young. being the same age, the two beans quickly bonded and became close friends. while they had rather different interests, maddox and kalari both stood on the optimistic side when it came to their views, and that led kal to become a supporting friend to the shyer maddox. because their parents were rather unstable, maddox usually spent time with kalari, and since they were also bra'dach’s little sibling, kalari and maddox often talk about the older bean. for the most part they don’t talk much about dach aside from his behavior towards kalari’s countless attempts at hugs. maddox, unlike their brother, actually loves hugs and will even play-fight with kalari often. another thing they enjoy talking about is their eyes - kalari has eyes that glitter and glow while maddox has one ‘defective’ eye with a white pupil. the two beans often talk about their respective hairstyles too - maddox loves to play with kalari’s dreads, and often tries to braid her hair for her when in return kalari helps maddox tie their hair with their favorite green ribbon. outside of those things, they still go outside and play, and while maddox still prefers to keep themselves away from the fire, they have started learning how to balance on kalari’s red skateboard just for fun.
