Main Character
Captain Elara is her older sibling. Although he/she becomes upset with Pax for getting a job aboard the Atlas behind his/her back, as the middle sibling between Pax and Eos, Captain Elara is generally more forgiving with her. Pax finds she can talk more openly with Captain Elara, especially when the former gets into trouble and brings trouble with her. However, when Eos brings up the incident when Pax left Cyber years ago, Pax finally realizes how much she hurt both siblings.

Eos Elara
Eos is her oldest brother. It is stated by Main Character that she and him always bicker with each other. As a result, MC is forced to be a mediator for them when they argue, which makes MC wish to be away from them. Pax becomes upset with Eos when he calls the Vanguard (and Admiral Deimos comes aboard) around the same time she tries to smuggle a Jura agent. Eos tells Pax that he didn't do it to hurt her; he only wanted to protect Lyra. However, Pax believes he cares more about everyone else than he cares about his family, that he acts like he has to fix her and doesn't accept her for who she is. Eos counters that she doesn't take responsibility for anything, and that she abandoned both him and MC when she left Cyber. To him, she didn't just leave Cyber behind; she rejected every part of herself that linked her to them. In Chapter 12, if Pax decides to save Zaniah, her brother will keep it from the Vanguard as a favor for his sister. When a dark figured assassin tries to kill Eos, Pax jumps in, punching her throat with delios knuckles that kill her.

Holmes
Holmes is one of Pax's love interests. In Chapter 7, Pax and Holmes have the option of adopting/saving Gemma, even though it is against ship's rules for the crew to have pets. In Chapter 9, Holmes offers Pax a shoulder to cry on after her argument with Eos. He admits he never had someone close to him that was invested in what happens to him.

Zaniah
Zaniah is one of Pax's love interests. In Chapter 10, when Zaniah is upset by what Deimos said, Pax tries to comfort her. In Chapter 12, Pax discovers Zaniah was in league with the group of assassins that boarded the Atlas; she has the choice to turn Zaniah over to the Vanguard or help protect her secret as she claims she tried to force Lyra to sign the documents to prevent the assassins from killing everyone onboard. If Pax chooses to keep her secret, Eos will agree to hide his knowledge from the Vanguard, as a favor to his sister.
