Although Lela's breaking into song gets on Mack's nerves, they have a close friendship as Lela considers Mack one of her best friends. Mack sometimes acts as a role model for Lela, offering her advice and doing activities with her, such as spending nights at Lela's house together. Lela feels close enough to Mack to confide information she couldn't to anyone else.

Butchy 

Lela and Butchy are siblings. They barely interact onscreen, though they do enjoy spending quality time together. Their typical activities include hanging out at Big Momma's and rivaling against the surfers. Butchy is rather overprotective of Lela, but how she feels about him is never revealed.
