Io's Links
First born Daughter. Loved and protected with everything she had until she had no more. Went through hell for her only to realize it didnt truly matter. Disappointed and hurt beyond reason by her selfishness and lack of respect for family.
A cut tie, an open wound that will eventually heal but for now, hurts.
Mother. Loved & admired. Rolemodel. Safe haven.
Loved and treasured sibling, has found great comfort in her presence and looks up to with great respect and gratefulness. During the darker times of her own life, grew distant from on purpose as she did not wish to cause worry or headache to her older sister. Always loved, always missed. Attempting to mend their bond now that she is doing better and feels less of a burden.
Younger sister. Very much loved, but especially after moving to live in Erialas, is unable to maintain constant contact with.
Noemi had taken over raising Io, Beñat, and Shaila after their father ended his life, a traumatic event that left their mother consumed with grief to the point that Noemi had to care for her as well. The Nazar had been wholly unprepared for such responsibility, especially while simultaneously thrown into her own tempestuous state of horror and grief; ultimately she had no choice but to suppress as much of her own turbulent emotions as possible—which would later backfire very dangerously—in order to be the pillar her siblings and mother needed her to be. Struggled immensely but did the best she could for some time. Was incredibly grateful for Io's independence—which is something she sought to foster in all three of her younger siblings—and is very proud of the Grimoire for various reasons. Missed, but didn't often allow herself to dwell for long. Has always been fond of Io, and was both glad and relieved to learn she invited their mother to live with her in Paris to help care for her newborn daughter, Rina.
Noemi discovered their mother's disappearance through Io and had searched for her for months afterwards, loathing every time she sent her younger sister a fruitless update. She supported the Grimoire emotionally as much as she could, which proved difficult given her place of residence and the nature of her job; nonetheless, the Nazar did all she could to keep her sister in one piece as time continued to tick by without any sign of Liange. Finally, nearly a year after the Perihelion vanished, the circumstances of their mother's disappearance—as well as her current whereabouts—were revealed to her by their father, and Noemi eagerly passed along the news to Io once she had managed to process it enough herself. Couldn't have been more relieved by the reunion shared between family members shortly thereafter and the deeply-sought comfort of knowing their mother is not suffering or worse as they had feared for so long.
Brother. A complicated relationship, grew surprisingly distant from during their early life. Drifted apart and yet tries to visit him every now and then. Loves immensively despite the distance between them.
Sister
At first very wary and cautious of when he began to hang out with her only daughter, did not approve their relationship in the beginning. But as time went by she learnt more of the viking king as his softer side came to play at the birth of his children, her grandchildren.
Admires him for his endless love for his children and willingness to do anything for them, has not once let her down. Due to recent events found herself relying on the wolf heavily as they ended up raising his children together as Rina left them. Trusts entirely, respects greatly.
Complicated relationship on multiple levels, cherished no matter.
Didn't know the honeydew very well at first, and wasn't too interested in changing that... but slowly began to grow closer and found himself turning to Io more and more. Views her more as the actual mother to his children rather than their grandmother after all that has transpired. She is strong, willful, and unyielding, yet willing to make great sacrafices for those she loves. Trusts, respects, and craves. A relationship that shouldn't have formed but it did; after much avoidance of the matter by both parties. Affectionally dubbed haukr. Lover and companion.
Biological father.
Hello daddy issues. From a very young age learnt her father wasn't too keen on her and it broke her smol heart, making her feel unlovable and trash. Boiled some good ol' fashioned hatred toward him for years, trying to mend their bond by random visits to him that only ended poorly on her end. Part of her craved for him to love her and be proud of her.
A triggering sight in the forest nowadays, antagonizes him on purpose to gain some sort of reaction out of him even if it meant threats to kill her. It's better than nothing. The reason behind her fascination toward violence and gore.
Daughter from Liange. Umm..Lots of mixed feelings, mostly negative. Threatened to kill after a recent and brief encounter. Heavy unease in her presence.
