Tony's suggestion is best, if you want to have usable information that 
will let you extract information or find emergent relations. 

I'd rather not do it on the character pages themselves since that'd either

What you would do is create a relationship generator. You'd pick Character 
A from one drop down list, Character B from the next, the type of 
relationship from another, and press a button.
Character A would be added to B's relationship, and vice versa.

This is pretty much how all automation problems are handled. People are 
unreliable at data entry, so they need a framework in order to make sure 
that mistakes are avoided.

Getting more specific wouldn't really work either since I'd have to make a

Just add another relationship to the generator.

Doing it your way, as a simple list, you might forget relationships (was he 
an enemy, a rival, or a frenemy?)

If you really wanted to do it as a list, then you would probably need JSON. 
So your list would look more like:


<http://127.0.0.1:8080/TW2014/Todo.html#Thomas%20Elmiger>
{ "alice":
     {
      "brothers" : {"bob"},
      "gender" : "female", 
      "so" : {"darren" }
     } ,
   "bob" :
     {
       "sisters" : {"alice"},
       "gender"  : "male"
     } ,
   "carlos" :
     {
      "friends" : {"carlos"} ,
      "rivals"  : {"darren" }
     } ,
    "darren" : 
      {
        "so" : {"alice" } ,
        "gender" : "male" 
      }
}

Unfortunately, TW can't parse JSON more than one level, so you would need 
Joshua Fontany's JSON mangler
