Okay, so in Strixhaven they have relationships that are handled as a very loose 'teenage romance' kind of way. IT's a cool idea, but if I want to expand on it for my 3rd attempt at Curse of Strahd does anyone have any ideas or rescources in mind?
I don't need it to be romantic, but maybe something that will allow for friends and allies to have a rating that gives a bonus.

Player characters will have the option to gain Relationship Points over the course of the adventure. These point reflect the relationship status a character has with another NPC.
All relationships start at 0, and either increase or decrease by 1 depending on the nature of the characters interactions. A friendly response will earn a positive relationship point, while a rivalrous response will earn a negative relationship point.
-A player can indicate that they would like to attempt to gain a positive Relationship point with an NPC, but this is at the discretion of the DM
-Conversely a player can take a negative relationship point with an NPC at any point at their own discretion, once per-character, per-day.
*Relationship Points and Status:
+/- 0 Neutral
+1 Friendly: While they are still getting to know you, the NPC is positively inclined towards you
-1 Antagonistic: Something about you just ticks this NPC off
+2 Friend: This NPC considers you a personal friend, and will go out of their way to assist you as best they can
-2 Rival: This NPC holds a great disdain for you, and will make your life harder any chance they get
+3 Beloved: You have a deep and meaningful connection with this NPC. While not inherently romantic, you are deeply bonded, so much so that you benefit from this NPC's spirit, even when they aren't physically near you (You gain this NPC's Beloved Boon)
- 3 Enemy: This NPC hates you with every fiber of their being. They are extremely motivated to go out of their way to thwart your endeavors, and may even go so far as to physically harm you. Their hatred of you is so elemental it begins to effect your everyday life, even when this NPC isn't physically present (You suffer from this NPC's Enemy Bane)
