I need to rediscover my roots…
And by roots I mean that era from 2011-2015 when I was obsessed with Sydney Katharine Sage and Adrian Ivashkov.

due to popular demand, here is the evolition of how rose sees/thinks of sydney throughout the books
before we start, we have to take in consideration rose’s state of mind when she meets sydney. not only was dimitri just turned into a strigoi and rose decides to search for him and kill him, but she just broke up left lissa and all her friends/family. throughout blood promise, rose feels alone. she is only focused on her goal of killing dimitri and thinks everyone has moved on from her.
so when she meets sydney and they are forced to go together to omsk, rose is annoyed.
but the thing about rose is that, no matter how much she tries to act tough, she is secretly a softie. despite sydney’s upbringing and personality being completely opposite of rose’s, they get to know each other and bond. sydney provides to rose the company that she misses from lissa.
so when sydney leaves, rose is clearly upset. she is alone once again.
now let’s jump to spirit bound. rose has all her friends/family back. sydney only shows up in one scene, but the way she is described is very telling:
rose is aware that sydney still has her alchemist views and might not feel the same as her. but there is that part of rose that considers sydney this unlikely friend and is open to that if given the opportunity.
now, last sacrifice. we (and rose) slowly see sydney not too hung up on her alchemist views and reciprocating (in her own way) her friendship with rose. and because of that, rose starts worrying more about sydney.
when rose and dimitri get separated from sydney at jill’s house, rose regrets leaving her behind and what that means for sydney when the alchemist deals with her. i’m serious, she mentions it almost every single page.
if that’s not friendship, i don’t know what that is.
literally as soon as rose meets with sydney again in bloodlines, the first thing she tells her is how worried she was!!
obviously in the rest of bloodlines, rose barely shows up, but when she does she is always friendly with sydney. also correct me if i’m wrong but it’s only in silver shadows where rose says that sydney is her friend.
but yeah, i love the friendship between these two and how despite their differences at first, both come to care and respect each other (very similar to sydrian if I say so 🫢) and it’s not talked about enough!!

remember at the end of the vampire academy series when rose’s mother was suddenly like “yo dimitri, I’ve been doing the maths right, and if rose is 18 and you’re 24 and you’ve been sleeping together for a whole year then what is the circumference of the sun?” and rose and dimitri awkward chuckled and the scene cut to black with the sound of a record-scratch and we forgot all about it
