Lord Elric
Lord Elric is her husband, her best friend and her confidante. He considers her his moon and his stars, and his love for her is deeper than oceans. Because Fae live for a long, long time, their perspective towards love is not restricted to monogamy. She did not begrudge him the gift of sharing a night of love and passion with your mother.

Tialo
Tialo is the son she shares with Lord Elric. She believes he means well even though he is prickly, and hopes that he will warm up to the thought of having a sibling. In Chapter 13 though, she is grief-stricken and disappointed in his actions towards you, that he put his own petty grievances above the safety of their people. She does not object to her husband's decision to cast him out.

Your Character
In Chapter 11, when Nik introduces you as the child of Lord Elric, he believes it instantly and introduces you to his son, Tialo, and his wife, Lady Thalissa. She welcomes you to Lamrian, saying it is your rightful home. In Chapter 12, she tells you about the ball they are planning and hopes to dance under the stars with you. If you purchase the premium outfit, she loves it. If not, she is a little disappointed but is still warm to you and promises to dance with you later. In Chapter 13, she tries to defend you from the bloodwraith but it backhands her and sends her flying across the ballroom. After it kills her husband and is sent to the void between worlds, she tells you that it will take about a week to reestablish the wards but when they return, you are most welcome to return to Lamrian as it is still your home. If you tell her that you will avenge his death, she says that she has lost both her husband and son and doesn't want to lose you too. She asks you to be careful.

In Chapter 16, a year after the events of Mardi Gras occurred, you return to Lamrian. She welcomes you with affection and does not hold your absence against you. When she lost her greatest love -your father- and her son, she could hardly bear to speak to another soul for months. She tells you that even though you are not her blood, she is willing to teach you Fae magic as Lord Elric promised. She opens a portal to the Fae Realm and steps into it, waiting for you to follow.
