View source for Bond

Forming a '''bond''' (Japanese: '''きずな''') is a mechanic found in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that takes place at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} when interacting with specific characters. It involves meeting them at different points throughout the academy, and forming a bond with them through four different stages.

Initially, a character may be spotted at one of the rooms in the academy, where they can be interacted with, often confiding in the player about a problem that they're having. Following their initial interaction, the player can meet with that character on three additional occasions, where they can further their bond. After each stage, a string of text will display, which describes the closeness of the bond the player has with that character.

'''"You became even closer with _____!"'''
<br>
'''"You feel trusted by _____!"'''
<br>
'''"You formed a close bond with _____!"'''

With the exception of [[Nemona]], [[Arven]] and [[Penny]], the player is rewarded with a gift after they have formed a close bond with a character.

As of Version 3.0.0, any of the faculty members at the academy that the player has formed a close bond with, excluding Director [[Clavell]] and [[Jacq]], can be invited as a Special Coach to the [[League Club Room]] at [[Blueberry Academy]]. Additionally, a short story involving the bosses of [[Team Star]] can be activated at the academy, provided the player has formed a close bond with Penny.
