Have started something with this, love the concept.

Well, as I implemented a rival that wasn't human, but feline humanoid, she seemed to have a constant hatred against this guy, even despite things becoming better towards cooperation, until she killed him after he tossed her into a river to save her. Took some editing and retries to get the story together and make her come around that this rival is not the big baddie. :p But I love to spin the tale.
