Esela's Links
Esela protects Merisdae like a daughter. She shelters her, keeping Merisdae on the moon with her even though Mitando has allowed Merisdae to go down.
Merisdae looks up to Esela like a mother.
Esela is very firm in the view that Souls are not as terrible as her clan makes them out to be. After being around Cold (in secret) for a while, she develops feelings for them.
((I'll write this later once I have a clearer character for Cold))
