Who makes up your OC's family, at least the more important members to them?
Illdraes
Her birth father who she hadn’t met for 7,000~ years. During her reclusion, she had built up an image of who he was ―very starry eyed and unrealistic expectations. There was no possible way the person he actually was could live up to her expectations, but she didn’t expect such a broken & cruel individual to be her father.
She struggles immensely to accept who he is, flaws and all, because she’s seen how ruthless he can be. He embodies everything she’s not; he’s apathetic, cynical, and vindictive. He pushes her to be like him in subtle ways which bothers her because she knows if he had planned to have a daughter, she wouldn’t be what he’d want. She feels like a disappointment to him.
But she tries her best to kindle a relationship with him all the same. It can be exhausting at times.
Syrelia
Her birth mother who was very much an absentee parent for most of Sylrisa’s life. She took Sylrisa to temple used by the Sisterhood of Elune and left her with the priestesses there. At first, she showed up actively to make sure Sylrisa was alright where she had left her. Often times sneaking into the temple during the day to wake her. But as years went on, she visited less and less frequently.
She poured fear into Sylrisa, instilled in her that her bloodline would be weaponized against her by those who hated Highborne and that she’d be exiled like the others if she didn’t hide herself away. It’s left lasting effects on Sylrisa, but she still loves her mother regardless. She believes her mother was just trying to do what was best for her. ―Until recently, at least.
Now, after Sylrelia vindictively murdered Illdraes & Olivia’s child in cold blood out, she believes her mother to be a true monster.
Elindrina
Who Sylrisa refers to as her adoptive mother. Where Illdraes falls short in being a parent and there for his own child, Elindrina picks up his slack and offers parental insight into the problems Sylrisa faces. In recent times, she’s taken to living with Elindrina instead of her father. They’ve grown rather close and Sylrisa feels inclined to trust her adoptive mother more because she respects boundaries better. ―Or at least, acts like she does.
She often shares her worries and problems with Elindrina for insight instead of asking her father for advice. Although in recent times, she’s slowly waned from doing such because she’s noticed it’s causing a rift between her father and Elindrina. She feels guilty about that and isn’t quite sure how to navigate her relationship with either.
Olivia
Someone she saw as a mother figure despite not knowing for very long. Olivia and Sylrisa had a strange first encounter that should’ve led to Olivia seeming very untrustworthy. But, instead, because Olivia took her to meet her father later on, she warmed up and placed her faith in her.
It was Olivia who improved her balance by frequently working with Sylrisa despite being pregnant for the majority of that time. Olivia’s death, despite how cruel and deranged she acted, has hit Sylrisa rather hard. She still mourns for her loss.
Vitani
Illdraes and Olivia’s newborn child who Sylrisa often took care of before her untimely death. She had a strong connection with the child, drawing similarities between the two of them in their muddled bloodline. Her death haunts Sylrisa and she largely feels she’s responsible for her mother’s actions.
