This relation type implies an object of rivalry between the rivals, which needs to be specified; when two people compete, they compete for something, and there is a need of a comment to specify what they are competing for. You can be someone's rival in the fight for someone else's love, in trying to be the fastest racer in town, in your goal of being the very best, like no one ever was, and so on. Additionally, rivalries might end following some sort of event, and they may be one-sided, in that only one side recognizes the other as a rival; the relation will ''still'' be set as two-sided, and the comment needs to elaborate on the single side aspect. Reasonable examples might be "for Sakura's love", "for Sakura's love, until Tarou fell in love with Yuri", "for Sakura's love, until Tarou died", "for Sakura's love, only on Keiichi's part", "for Sakura's love, only on Keiichi's part, until Tarou died", "as fellow racers", and so forth. | This relation type implies an object of rivalry between the rivals, which needs to be specified; when two people compete, they compete for something, and there is a need of a comment to specify what they are competing for.

===lovers=== | |||
There generally is no need for a comment for this relation, but there are two notable exceptions that should '''always''' take the relevant comment: | |||
* concubinage ''(a person who is legally entitled to having "unofficial spouses" and those "unofficial spouses"; think an emperor and his many concubines)'' | |||
* paramours: ''(a married person and their extramarital lover; think a married man and his mistress)'' | |||
Please note that concubinage is a much more "official" relationship than that between paramours, which is generally seen as strictly illicit; historical concubines have often held positions of power within their lovers' households due to the very fact they held concubine status. If a character is described as an "official mistress", it is generally fine to understand that to be a case of concubinage. Ask if on doubt. | |||
