[[Dwarves]] (gods, animals) can have '''relationships''' with each other.  This can be viewed by looking at a dwarf's [[profile]].  Making and talking to friends gives happy [[thought]]s while the death of a [[pet]], friend, [[children|child]] or [[marriage|spouse]] gives unhappy ones.
 
 
 
Relationships are usually formed by spending time with another dwarf.  Often, the strongest relationship are between dwarves from the same [[migrant]] wave, despite time spent with dwarves from other waves.
 
 
 
The following is a list of known relationships:
 
 
 
*'''Passing Acquaintance''' 
 
*'''Long-term Acquaintance'''
 
*[[Friend]]
 
*'''Lover'''
 
*'''Spouse''' (see also [[marriage]])
 
*'''Parent''' (see also [[child]])
 
*[[Child]]
 
*'''Sibling'''  (see also [[child]])
 
*[[Grudge]]
 
*[[Deity]]

'''Comments:'''
 
 
 
'''Spouses''' can have '''children''' with each other.
 
 
 
A '''lover''' is like a spouse, although the pair is not [[marriage|married]] and do not share [[bed]]s.  It is unknown if they produce children or not (or if that eventuality causes the marriage.) Dwarves seem to be monogamous both as married and non-married couples.
 
 
 
'''Sibling''': if a married couple happens to have multiple children, the relationships between them will be marked as "Older/Younger Sister/Brother"
 
 
 
There are several additional special relationship listed for the [[king]]/queen and their [[King consort|consort]]. The dwarves listed in these relationships are not present in the [[fortress]].
 
*Uncle/Aunt
 
*Cousin
 
*Paternal & Maternal Grandparents
 
 
 
==Influences==
 
[[Social skill]]s such as [[broker skills|conversationalist]], [[intimidator]], [[pacifier]], [[comedian]], [[negotiator]], [[flatterer]], [[consoler]], [[persuader]], or [[judge of intent]] play no role in forming relationships. Dwarves with vastly different [[personality|personalities]] (such as a confident, selfless person vs a nervous-but-arrogant one) will form grudges, while dwarves with similar personalities, [[preference]]s, and job [[skill]]s will form friendships, or even become lovers.
 
 
 
It seems that if a pair of dwarves have a grudge against each other, they will not attend each other's parties.
