  • May have a condition that the user needs to be comparable to their would-be rival/inspiration in some way before they can draw strength from the competition.
  • May argue with the opponent constantly, possibly making it more difficult if the user needs to work with them.
  • The user maybe born around his or her opponent, and seeing each other in school or/in later on in their lifetime (I.E. pre-k/kindergarten all the way up to 12th grade high school).
