Daemila's Links
As Valefar's mother, Daemila loves him a lot, but feels lost on how to guide him through life. Her hands are often full (both figuratively and literally) taking care of their large family, and she regrets not being strong enough to fully stand her ground against Azeron. She feels partly responsible for Val's inner conflicts and feels she has failed Azeron due to not being there for him when he was young, and by extension, Val.
Overall, she's very apologetic, worries for his well-being, and wishes he would come home.
Val does love his mother, Daemila, but often felt suffocated by her coddling nature when he was a child. As he got older, she began overlooking him at times in favor of the youngest, Farinel, and as a result, he went to Azeron for a lot of his troubles instead.
But seeking comfort in his older brother didn't last forever, and when tensions between Val and Azeron eventually became dangerous, Daemila was unable to do anything about it. Val began pushing her away little by little, subconsciously resenting her for not doing more to stop it.
