relationships
A short analysis of the various relationships Sheena has with characters in the game.
corrine
Corrine and Sheena share a special bond. Corrine was a man made summon spirit created at the Elemental Research Laboratory in Tethe'alla. He hated that place, however, because of the experiments that the researchers performed on him. But once Sheena made a pact with him he was freed from the lab and became something of a partner to the summoner. Because Sheena is alienated within Mizuho, Corrine is her only friend early on. Ultimately, Corrine sacrifices his life to save Sheena and the others. The action hit Sheena very hard, but motivated her to keep on going. Later, you meet a reincarnated Corrine, Verius, called "the Summon Spirit of the Heart," which likely shows the connection that he and Sheena shared.
Lloyd
Sheena and the game's hero, Lloyd Irving, have somewhat similar personalities. Though... I don't think Sheena is nearly as dense as Lloyd. Lloyd seems to bring out the best in people, and thus helps Sheena overcome her fear of making a pact with Volt. He also makes Sheena and the others feel like they belong in the world (corny, but true!). Their relationship is especially sweet if you pick Sheena at Flanoir; her hinting may go over Lloyd's head, but tells him she wants to "be with him." Romantic or not, the two have a strong friendship by the end of the game.
Raine
Sheena and the game's healer and resident archaeological maniac, Raine Sage, don't get along well at all during the first part of the game. Raine is strongly opposed to Sheena joining the party but reluctantly agrees to heal her when they meet at Luin. However, Raine only had the party's safety in mind; Sheena had tried to kill Colette. Sheena's attitude is similar to Lloyd's in many ways, so the logical thinking Raine and Sheena continue to have opposing views. However, by the end of the game, it is apparent that the two come to trust each other.
colette
Despite the fact that Sheena is trying to kill her, Colette likes Sheena right after meeting her. This certainly confuses Sheena and makes it difficult to complete her mission. Exposed to the Chosen's kindness, Sheena finds herself incapable of assassinating Colette and sends word back to Tethe'alla about the situation of the two worlds. Sheena comes to care a lot about Colette's wellbeing, and helps the party save her after she lost her heart by bringing them to Tethe'alla. The two remain friendly throughout the game.
zelos
Ah, Zelos. Everyone's favorite philanderer. Well, not really. Zelos' flirtation gets on Sheena's nerves quite a bit. She says she can't stand him, while he counters with teasing. However, the two have may different feelings deep down (which I think is so damn cute :3), which is made evident when Zelos saves Sheena from staying in Tethe'alla to, most likely, be killed by Kuchinawa. He may tease her and she may smack him for it, but there's evidence that they care about each other.
Kuchinawa
Kuchinawa, a citizen of Mizuho whose parents were killed during Volt's attack, is one of the main sources of Sheena's guilt. Originally one of Sheena's friends, he ends up betraying Sheena and Mizuho to work with the Pope because he wants revenge. Sheena feels she deserves the anger that he has towards her, and agrees to a duel (which is optional later in the game) when confronted. During the time when the party is trapped by illusions in Welgaia, Sheena sees an illusion of Kuchinawa, a manifestation of her guilt, telling her she deserves to die. Lloyd, however, talks Sheena back to her senses. At the end of the game, the people of Mizuho hope that Kuchinawa will come back and choose a better path.
