Hype asked me for my opinions on intra-team dynamics, so here they are. Please note that '''I have not read any of this team's RPs. These opinions are based strictly on character profiles.'''

Carol - SiennaA lot of this relationship looks like it will come down to how controlling Carol is as a leader. If he tries to manage the team heavily, these two are going to get in major arguments about how Sienna rushes in and tries to fight as much as possible, possibly even ignoring orders altogether. Carol will probably question her mental state at many points during their time together. Sienna, being more soft-spoken would most likely take these arguments in stride and unleash them on her opponents in a kind of passive-agressive maneuver...but with more agression. There's definitely lots of room for UST between these two.--- Carol - EsmeraldaThere's not much that could really happen with these two based upon the information in their profiles. If Carol decides he wants to hit on Esmeralda, that's obviously going to go nowhere fast. Carol may gravitate towards her in a friendly relationship due to his experience being raised by a single mother for most of his young life; those feelings could transfer onto her in a sort of platonic fashion. If Esmeralda ever finds out about Carol's insecurities, she may also try to move towards a more nurturing aunt/older sister relationship.--- Carol - AngeThese two aren't going to hit it off right away, of course, with Ange's awkwardness around men. That's going to be extremely compounded if Carol decides right away to go after her. Hell, that could even compromise the entire team structure (or at the very least turn all the females against Carol). If he doesn't, Ange will probably find him a friend, even if she doesn't want to communicate much. If Carol goes on a rant about Sienna, he may end up lumping Ange in with her. That won't end well. This is going to be a relationship minefield, and this will probably be the single most important one to the cohesiveness of the team (the Weiss/Blake).--- Sienna - EsmeraldaNobody else is probably going to be able to, so Esmeralda will probably end up being the one who has to keep Sienna's pyromanaiacal personality under control. Were Carol to go after Esmeralda, I can imagine Sienna flirting with her under joke pretenses to get a rise out of him, with Esmeralda having no clue about what's going on. In any case, outside Sienna's bipolar issues, Esmeralda isn't going to find much to discuss with her, at least from what I can see.--- Sienna - AngeThis relationship looks like it's going to take off right from the start, but there's a hill that needs to be surmounted first; Ange needs to break through Sienna's shell, because Sienna's probably not going to try, unless she decides getting to know her partner is important. Their personalities are also going to constantly grate against each other, since Sienna fights for the sake of fighting, while Ange detests such action. They'll share similar life experiences by having both parents (something that doesn't seem to happen very frequently on this wiki), so their interests will probably lie along similar lines outside of battle.--- Esmeralda - AngeThis will probably be the first friendship to form out of the four members of the team. Ange doesn't seem like she harbors any ill will towards Faunus, so her friendly personality will probably help them hit it off. I can't draw too many more conclusions from the information given to me.--- Team Overall It seems like this team won't be organized on the battlefield. At all. Nobody has much tactical skill or experience, and a few of the members don't even seem to want to talk much while they're in the fray. Especially considering most of the team seems reluctant to get up close andpersonal with their enemies, I can really only see this team shining in a support role in larger, 2-4 team operations.--- Take all of these opinions with a spoonful of salt. I know you guys have already started, but this is what I saw. I can't read minds and know every facet of your character's personalities and backstories, I can only draw conclusions from what I've been given.
