Okay, so Steiner’s not exactly the friendliest person in Alexandria, and he is actually quite a nuisance to most people. Steiner has issues with almost everyone in his world, but why shouldn’t he? It’s part of what makes him interesting. :)
Garnet – Steiner’s biggest problem concerning Garnet is that he smothers her. He feels that the way to protect the princess is to be near her at all times and to keep her from changing. He has a sworn obligation to give his life for her if needed, and as her protector and knight, he doesn’t allow himself to develop a friendship until the end, which is what Garnet really wants. In my opinion Garnet has an ability to see through people and she saw through Steiner. She wants the best for him too, and tries to get him to be more than a knight, and to develop his own life.
Zidane – Steiner and Zidane didn’t get along until near the end of the game when he helped him out when Zidane was emotional. Up until that point, Zidane saw Steiner as a pest, and Steiner saw him as an obstacle—and a target—to saving the Princess. Zidane attempted to prove himself and his intentions to Steiner time and time again throughout the game by fighting beside him, but stubborn, Steiner wasn’t able to accept him.
Vivi – This relationship was really cute. Whether Steiner realized it or not, these two really had a lot in common. Steiner has nothing but respect for his “Master Vivi”. The two seem to get along quite well which is odd as Steiner doesn’t really get along with anyone. Both have inside battles, and instead of empathizing with Vivi for his, Steiner hides his own and tries to advise Vivi from a totally different perspective. I really think that at times in the game if Steiner would only have brought his worries about his life purpose and fulfillment to Vivi, both would have been better off having the other to relate to. In battle, the two have a joint attack that can be used when Steiner is playable that really hurts the enemy.
Queen Brahne – Steiner had the utmost loyalty for Queen Brahne and was blind to the fact that she was using him—as she did others—for her own purposes, and even tried to get rid of him. Steiner still admired her, and for the longest tried to restore Princess Garnet to her. (Why anyone would admire such an ugly ...thing beats me.)
Beatrix – Steiner and Beatrix were competitors in life. Beatrix led the Alexandrian Soldiers while Steiner led the Knights of Pluto, and they both tried to have better soldiers than the other, and tried to constantly out-do the other for the Queen. Unfortunately, they were both pawns of Queen Brahne. They both came to accept it, and when it was all over they started their lives over together.
