OK OK OK i am back after a million years and i have some incredibly long thoughts on this i'm sorry
Sun-mi is the sun and moon and stars to Ravi. I think this will be interesting dynamic because... Ravi tries not to let people see his worst flaws (well, he acts like his worst flaws are being "boring" and "serious," and not... putting WAY too much pressure on himself to be Ribbonfin's perfect knight in shining armour, and also repeatedly making poor romantic decisions in LARP) but I think Sun-mi is one of the very few people who can call bullshit on him. And tbh this is not something Ravi would admit to easily (he is VERY image conscious around even the senior Ribbonfins, who are his family) but I'd imagined Rafael as one of the people who figured out Ravi immediately, and Rafael and Sun-mi are too close for Rafael not to be like "ok but for real your friend Ravi is a ridiculous person." At least by mid-sophomore year, when they were co-prefects, Sun-mi probably knew there was a secret mess hiding behind that rule-abiding persona. And Ravi still won't admit to it easily, but there's probably some relief in not having to try so hard to be perfect around Sun-mi.
So! Prefects! I think Ravi's fine with Sun-mi being more of the Cool Big Sister. He doesn't mind people thinking he's too strict or too focused on rules, not when it'll protect people, and if he has to, he'll take the blame for having to tell someone no. But really, both Ravi and Sun-mi are pretty forgiving, so I doubt they ever butt heads on much? The Kurt and Chloe thing as an example. Ravi's going to say "no, we really shouldn't, it's against the rules" but so long as no one's getting hurt, he'll relent. He doesn't like taking points, but it doesn't bother him to look like the "disciplinarian" of the house. It would upset him if he ever felt like Sun-mi was undermining him, but I'm going to guess that won't happen much????
Aside from this, they definitely need to fence against each other and make some freshmen swoon. ;)
