since in your hc dark spyro is a separate entity turned good eventually do you think he bares a sort of guilt for what he did to spyro and, in turn, the rest of the team? and if so did he and spyro ever properly talk it out? i feel they could share a sort of connection with both technically having been taken over by strykore

YES !!!! absolutely!!! I think that Spyro and Dark Spyro do talk things out, but the conversation itself comes from Spyro being the 'Problem' of the situation

Spyro eventually loses his mind and starts pushing people away to the extreme, to which Dark Spyro steps in to be like, HEY you dont want to be like me, and that leads to a deep conversation between them that unveils they aren't so different after all-

Dark Spyro was never 'evil', he was just a bigger and better liar than his better self, and convinced himself he was and is evil, when in reality hes just a nuisance. Spyro comes to realise he was becoming his "evil" self and realises, hes not evil, hes just all of Spyros hurt, fear and anger in physical form. Dark Spyro is only strong when hes angry, but weaker when he's guilty.

Which is most of the time.

I think he butts heads with everyone (except from his girlfriend, Flashwing), and they often make jabs at his 'Evil' past, or try to make him out as being a terrible guy (really he's just obnoxious and lazy). It keeps him guilty, and therefore, weak. He is their weakest hero. Because he's not a hero, or a villain. He's him.

Dark Spyro spends time with Spyro because he knows he can talk (or knock) sense into him to not become him again, without forceful magic.

Its complicated relationship they have that no one, not even them understand. It's like, brotherly love hate? They remind eachother of what could be and what is, its painful but their separate existences are important for the other halfs bettering

Now to add about the team, Dark Spyro actually couldn't care less for them! He feels closer to JV, since he kinda adopted him, but any closeness he had to Eruptor, Pop or Elf, was just regular Spyro talking, not him. He only feels guilty that his image amongst them is tarnished and nothing will seemingly change for them to trust him, but about them PERSONALLY? Does not care, he only really cares about Flashwing or JV, to him keeping 'too many' close emotional bonds is a challenge and draining, he would love to feel wanted or a part of something, but he just can't
