Dola's thoughts on Levi or Belphegor?

Ooooo I just did Belphie here so Levi it is! And it's fun (and long) bc I kinda think of them as besties that no one really expects to be besties?

Their meeting doesn't go that badly. One of the few media Dola does actually know about is TSL so the first meeting with Levi goes pretty well? Plus she helps him out with getting his money back from Mammon and generally kept out of his way until he started recruiting her to help him with his otaku and idol-stan stuff. She gives him space and lets him be the one to approach, basically, though that's sort of her attitude towards everyone. Just works out the best for Levi lol

I picture that like. It's friendship that started from him not really having any other option when it comes to asking someone to go with him. Like he had her come with him when he went to a game release where copies were limited to only one per person but there were two editions he wanted, or an album release with a chance for a fansign entry with each album and he made her help him fill out forms for it. She's like, annoyed early on because she's busy but can't do anything about it without a pact, but also sometimes curious about the thing he's making her deal with all the stuff for, which leads to them actually talking about it, her getting interested sometimes, and so on.

Then since she's like, proven herself to be fairly amicable and bearable for a normie (and also because it's obvious she's curious about gaming and the like) they start hanging out for real? As much as Levi likes to be by himself, she can tell somewhat that he needs some company. Projecting perhaps? But yeah, since his energy is different from Mammon and Asmo's, she's more inclined to actually go hang out with him on her own volition once they're friendlier with each other.

They do butt heads when he gets really gatekeeper-y and condescending, she hates that and calls him out on it a lot. There's usually some "Levi, how the hell do you expect me to know when I've never played this before?" and some reminding that he used to not know anything about whatever it is that they're doing either. It gets better the longer they know each other because she does eventually get better at gaming and retains a lot of the info Levi tends to dump on her. But they do get into arguments, and sometimes their debates about gaming and game strategy get a little worrying (but I think they both know it's not serious. It's just fun to get a little heated sometimes the way let's players do and they've learned to agree to disagree at the end or turn it to just joking around.)

Their relationship ends up being shockingly good--mostly shocking to Levi--because they have plenty of things in common? Dola isn't a snob when it comes to art so she's into talking about game and anime art with him (eventually casually dropping that she's worked on some games at some point; I hc that she has some friends from uni that made an indie game based off of TSL that got huge and she was part of their team for a while, it's how she got into TSL in the first place), she's really knowledgeable about textiles and sewing so she gets involved when he's making cosplays, the fact that they're both really envious individuals who realize they can rant endlessly to each other without judgement... Also Dola's kind of a shut in herself tbh, and gets so easily exhausted by socialization too. She's just a lot better at it and does enjoy talking to people for like, a little while and in small groups. Like she has Satan's social skills but a somewhat worse social battery than Levi?

Also I wanna say, I haven't actually figured out how these two get their pact and why since Dola never needed to challenge him to a TSL Trivia quiz for the Soundtrack vinyl? I just know that Dola's pact acquisition order is like... Mammon -> Beel -> Asmo -> Levi -> Satan -> Belphie -> Lucifer

Send me a character and I'll tell you how my OC feels about them!
