loyal

Constant in devotion

Loyal means faithful to a person, group, cause, or commitment.

A loyal friend stands by you through difficulties.

Loyal customers keep returning.

Loyalty implies steadfastness over time—not just momentary support but continued allegiance: She remained loyal to the company for thirty years.
