Just go to guides, and pick which season you want. Then at the bottom are links to specific character or personality...etc guides.
Luckily the bar is less friendship/hate and more rival/friendship. Syd and I have a healthy rival relationship. We poke at each other, argue, and got each others backs. I consider her a friend...just a...well...rivalry type friend. xD
