Same notes, different tonal center — D major is the relative major of B minor. B major is the parallel major — same tonic, different notes.
🎭 Character: A natural minor scale's flat 3rd, 6th, and 7th give it a darker, more unresolved color than its relative major — the same notes, reordered around a different tonic, read to most listeners as moodier or more introspective.
