Paralives Relationships Guide
Together Cards, Labels, Romance & Marriage — Complete System Guide
6 Card Colors · Multiple Labels · Label-Based System
How Relationships Work
- check_circleParalives uses a label-based relationship system — not a single progress bar.
- check_circleTwo Paras can hold multiple labels at once (e.g. Friend + Coworker + Neighbor + Lover).
- check_circleEach label can level up as the bond deepens.
- groupsRelationships grow through shared time — no need to micromanage a social queue.
- diversity_3When two Paras share a group (chatting, activities, or just hanging out), bonds develop naturally.
- psychologyVibe, mood, Traits, and Stats affect which Together Cards appear and their success rates.
Together Cards
Together Cards steer conversations. After two Paras talk, the Together Bar fills; when full, you choose 1 of 3 cards.
| Color | Type | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| ⬜ White | Neutral talk | Basic interaction — good for first meetings |
| 🟢 Green | Friendly talk | Build friendship; advance friendship labels |
| 🔵 Dark blue | Learn / grow | Boost skill growth; toddlers learn language |
| 🩷 Pink | Romance / flirt | Advance romance; shows success chance % |
| 🔴 Red | Negative / conflict | Build hostile relationships |
| 🟣 Purple | Special | Unlock specific relationship milestones |

Relationship Labels
Labels define what two Paras are to each other; multiple labels can coexist:
