Annalisa
Annalisa is Zya's niece and the rightful Head of House. When Zya tells her to send you back to the library, Annalisa ignores her and retorts that she and Aunt Elise leech off her success and to not talk to either of you that way.

Elise
Elise is Zya's sister. She is the more friendly and respectful of the two, and usually balances Zya's rude behavior.

Vasco
Vasco has been Annalisa and your House's steward for many years. It does not appear to cross his mind that Zya should become the temporary Head of House while Annalisa is indisposed.

Your Character
In Chapter 1, Zya looks down upon your entrance into their home, calling you the black sheep of the family and a stray that Annalisa's parents had the misfortune to adopt. In Chapter 3, Zya barges into your room, demanding to know what you are doing. She tells you that you are not Annalisa and you've entered into courtly politics that you have no experience with and have not been raised for. She also tells you that Annalisa's blind doting love for you has always been one of her weaknesses. She does not give you any kudos for having a successful Noble debut and getting your House recognized.

In Chapter 8, if you decide to find food with Crown Shield, he/she tells you that even though he/she doesn't know your aunt personally, Crown Shield has seen her type before. Crown Shield tells you to stand up and be strong because Aunt Zya is weaker than you think.

Renza Fierro
In Chapter 8, Zya tells you that Renza Fierro approached her when she thought you were dead and Annalisa was indisposed. She admits that Renza is blackmailing her for her support.
