Enrique Vasquez
Twombly appeared to show intense appreciation toward Professor Vasquez, which often wasn't reciprocated due to Twombly's eccentric nature. However, they were close work colleagues at Hartfeld University, often working together in events held on campus. When Vasquez passes away, Twombly decides to follow her dreams of being a novelist in his honor, much to both the reader and Your Character's amusement.

Your Character
Ms. Twombly first meets Your Character when the latter needs help in finding ways to stay on campus after her family runs into financial difficulty. Twombly cautiously directs Your Character towards Professor Vasquez' work assistant placement, ultimately securing Your Character place at Hartfeld. To this end, it appears Twombly genuinely took to Your Character from the beginning. They have many friendly encounters in the future which shows that Ms. Twombly feels comfortable being her quirky self around Your Character, even opening up about her niche of being a novelist. Ms. Twombly continues supporting Your Character as she starts her Sophomore year at Hartfeld after successfully accomplishing Vasquez' task. She was a guest in the Murder Mystery party.
