Yor Forger/Relationships

== Family ==
=== Yuri Briar ===
Yuri is the younger brother of Yor and her only remaining family member alive after their parents died at an early age, which caused her to take on a parental role for her brother. Once, when Yuri became sick with a fever, Yor did everything she could to nurse him back to health, from going into the forest to pick herbs to even killing a boar. Yor treasured her brother and wanted to protect his carefree life from needless tragedies, which is why she became an assassin. Using the money she earned from assassin jobs, Yor was able to pay for Yuri's wants and needs. Perhaps due to how Yor took the place of their mother, Yuri began developing an unhealthy amount of affection for her, which Yor seems oblivious to, though she is aware of how eccentric he can be. When he was a child, Yuri told Yor he wanted to marry her when he grew older, and Yor jokingly said she would save herself for then.
As time passed, Yuri grew up to be a smart and hard-working young man who could be independent of Yor. One day, Yor learns that Yuri will be holding off a job promotion as he wants to make sure she is doing fine on her own and even pushes her to find a boyfriend. Wanting to ease her brother's mind, Yor fibs that she already has a boyfriend. In keeping up this lie, Yor ended up meeting Loid, whom she entered a sham marriage with for their own respective goals. While Yor was relieved about losing the risk of being a suspicious unmarried woman, she neglected to tell Yuri about her marriage, which Loid had backdated to a year.
After Yuri hears about the marriage, he calls Yor to tell her that he will be visiting to celebrate, much to her panic. When Loid proposes telling Yuri the truth about their marriage, Yor refuses as she fears that the truth would drive Yuri crazy. During Yuri's visit to the Forger home, Yor does her best to maintain the facade of a happily married couple to hide the truth from him, and when Yuri inquires as to why she never told him that she got married, she simply tells him that she had forgotten to, an excuse which Yuri accepts.
Yuri remains suspicious of Loid and the marriage after his visit, though Loid and Yor tell him he is welcome to return anytime. Yuri fulfills this to the utmost, always dropping by the Forger home whenever he has free time to hang out with Yor. During these visits, Yuri more often than not shows aggression toward Loid and sometimes forces him to do romantic things with Yor to prove their love, which always flusters Yor. His erratic behavior embarrasses Yor, who always apologizes to Loid for it. While Yor hopes Yuri will one day accept Loid, she likes seeing Yuri get along with Anya. While watching Yuri help Anya with her studies, they remind her of when he used to do the same for her when they were younger. 
After Yor receives a mission to protect her client, she runs into Yuri on the way home. In this encounter, Yuri reminds Yor that he is now grown up, which makes Yor wonder if there is a point in keeping her assassin job. During Yor's mission, she begins having more doubts about her job as Yuri and the Forgers come to her mind. When Yor comes close to facing death in an intense battle, her life flashes before her eyes, and the first thing she sees is a memory of Yuri getting a job offer. Recognizing that Yuri has grown up to be independent of her, Yor almost submits to defeat, but she remembers that protecting his carefree life was her reason for becoming an assassin. She realizes that the Forgers are just as important to her now, which gives her the motivation to keep fighting as an assassin.
As of recently, Yor seems to start showing some pushback against Yuri's antics in their home. When Yuri makes jabs at Loid after seeing him and Yor apparently having marital problems, Yor tells him to stay out of it. Later, when Yuri shows up at their home to hang out, Yor shoves him out of the house to let the exhausted Loid rest. Afterward, Yor felt bad about kicking him out and came over to his apartment with some home cooking to apologize.
Yor has kept her assassin job a secret from Yuri into adulthood. Conversely, Yor is currently unaware that he is secretly an officer of the Secret Police. The siblings are quite similar in the fact that they both believe that they are doing their jobs to protect each other.
=== Loid Forger ===
Loid Forger is Yor's fake, although legal, husband. The two first meet at the tailor shop while Yor gets her dress mended, and she is happy when Loid compliments her looks. Needing a boyfriend to lower suspicion as a single woman and wanting to ease her brother's mind, Yor thinks Loid would make for a good boyfriend to bring to Camilla's party until she sees that he has a daughter and backtracks. After learning that the family has no mother, Yor and Loid have a discussion, with Yor wanting Loid to be her fake boyfriend at the party, and Loid agrees on the condition that she helps play as Anya's mother in their school admissions interview. 
However, on the day of the party, Loid inadvertently stands Yor up while on a mission, and she goes to the party alone to endure the humiliation from her co-workers. Before an upset Yor leaves the party, Loid shows up and, due to a mild concussion, accidentally calls himself her husband. When Camilla decides to bring up Yor's questionable previous work (which was a euphemism for her assassin work), Yor is surprised when Loid praises it and expresses his admiration for Yor's dedication to working hard for the sake of something else, which touches her. After they leave the party and are chased by Loid's "patients," Yor saves Loid from getting attacked and is surprised when he thanks her. Yor realizes of that Loid may be the only person who could accept her as she is and asks if they can get married as an extension of their agreement, which he agrees to. While keeping the actual reasons from each other, Loid and Yor get married.
After getting married, Yor moves into the Forger home but does not share a room or bed with Loid unless they have guests over, to which they share a room for appearances only. When tasked with raising Anya, Yor gladly advises Loid on the matter with her experiences raising Yuri, for which he is always thankful.
Yor's feelings for Loid appear to develop further as she grows fond of her new family and home. As the two continue to live together, their trust and understanding of each other continue to grow as well. Seeing Loid as a good, respectable man, Yor trusts Loid to the extent that she would defend him if he was threatened, shown when Loid himself (in disguise as a Secret Police officer) made such a threat. When Loid feels he's inadequate in being the ideal father for Anya, Yor reassures him and tells him that Anya thinks otherwise. In instances where Anya would say the two are flirting, Yuri makes the two do romantic things, or Loid would be close or make contact with her, Yor quickly gets flustered.
When Yor introduces him to Yuri, he is immediately wary of the nature of their relationship. After Yuri's visit, Yor starts developing lingering insecurities about not being a good wife for Loid and mopes for a whole day until Loid encourages her to be herself. Yor is happy to hear Loid's encouragement and even tells him that she is glad that she married him. However, this insecurity reoccurs, as Yor feels incompetent as what she believes should be a normal wife and mother.
Upon meeting Fiona Frost, Loid's co-worker (and fellow WISE agent), Yor overthinks her relationship with Loid and is distraught at the thought of losing her wife role to Fiona. When Fiona challenges her to a tennis game, Yor accepts, thinking that Loid will replace her if she refuses or loses. After Yor beats Fiona, she proclaims it to Loid, but when he does not have much of a reaction, Yor believes nothing changed and that she really will be replaced. When the pair go out for drinks, a drunk Yor vents her feelings to Loid, causing him to suspect that she harbors a genuine romantic interest in him. Loid tries to seduce her, and a flustered Yor responds by kicking him upside his chin and knocking him out. When he wakes up, Yor tells him about her insecurities, to which he reassures her that she is already a strong and incredible mother and that he does not intend to replace her.
When Yor receives a mission to protect her client, she begins having doubts about keeping her assassin job, and when the family ends up going on the same trip by coincidence, she imagines that she would enjoy spending time with them if not for her mission. During Yor's mission, she begins having more doubts about her job as Yuri and the Forgers come to her mind. When Yor comes close to facing death in an intense battle, she remembers that she became an assassin to protect Yuri's carefree life. She realizes that the sentiment still holds true with the Forgers and regains the motivation to keep fighting as an assassin. While remembering Loid's words praising her for her work, she believes he would understand and respect her decision.
After discussing with her co-workers about gripes with their partners, Yor begins assuming that being dissatisfied with partners must be a norm for couples. She later attempts to gripe with Loid, to his dismay, causing a misunderstanding which worsens after Yuri butts in. When a weary Loid returns home from work, Yor explains why she was griping and apologizes. After the exhausted yet relieved Loid asks her to shoulder his housework for a while, Yor cheerfully agrees and realizes that what she really wanted with Loid was to be able to take care of him and be relied on, which she expresses to him. Knowing that Loid tends to keep his problems to himself, Yor tells him that he does not need to be perfect all the time, which Loid thanks her for.
Yor works hard to ensure Loid does not find out about her secret job as an assassin but does not hide her impressive strength from him or anyone else for that matter. She is currently unaware of Loid's true identity as a spy.
=== Anya Forger ===
Yor believes Anya is Loid's biological child from his first marriage and that his late wife's dying wish was for her to go to a good school. When Yor formally meets Anya for the first time, she is touched when the girl refers to her as her mother. Yor quickly takes a liking to Anya, finding her to be a sweet and adorable child. Due to her previous experience with raising Yuri, Yor is significantly more encouraging and patient with Anya than Loid, who often expresses exasperation or impatience at Anya, especially concerning her academic abilities. As such, Yor often helps with advising Anya, though due to a variety of factors (e.g., Anya failing to understand), it rarely works.
Yor has strong maternal instincts towards Anya, likely stemming from her raising Yuri when he was a child, and gets extremely sad when Anya insults her cooking. This motherly behavior makes Yor extremely protective over Anya, as she tends to violently, sometimes excessively, deal with anyone who dares antagonize the child. During the family interview, Yor quickly gets defensive of Anya after Murdoch makes her cry, though earlier, she gets embarrassed when she is mocked for not being like a "normal" mother. 
This thought lingers in Yor's mind as she feels she is not being a proper mother to Anya. After Yor saves Anya from thugs attempting to blackmail them, Anya lifts Yor's spirits by telling her that she loves her as she is, strong and cool, then asks Yor to train her. Hearing this, Yor accepts that she will never be a normal mother but will do the best she can for Anya. Though Yor made this affirmation, she still gets insecure about feeling inadequate as a mother.
As part of her maternal behavior, Yor scolds Anya when needed, such as when Anya runs away while on their outing. In return, Anya is also protective of Yor, willing to put herself in harm's way to save a cornered Yor in a crisis.
While Anya has raised her suspicions once, Yor is currently unaware of her true nature as a telepath.
=== Bond Forger ===
It is implied that they hold a very strong relationship off-screen, as Yor is responsible for all of Bond's baths and grooming, and is the one who always takes him for a walk whenever Anya or Loid is not around.
Unbeknownst to her, Bond is terrified of Yor and her cooking and fears she would kill him if he refused her food.
Yor is currently unaware of Bond's psychic powers and is understandably confused when he reacts to his future visions.
== Garden ==
=== Shopkeeper ===
The Shopkeeper is Yor's handler within the Garden organization, similar to Loid's handler. She considers the Shopkeeper to be her mentor, as he was the one who taught her survival skills when she was young. The Shopkeeper calls Yor when a "client" is available and sends her out to complete assassination contracts. In a rare instance, he assigned her a mission to protect someone, being Olka Gretcher and her infant son. 
When Yor decides to become friends with Melinda Desmond, she goes to the Shopkeeper for his permission. He allows this but gives Yor a warning due to Melinda's political standing.
=== Matthew McMahon ===
At Berlint City Hall, Matthew acts as a senior co-worker to Yor, while at Garden, he is the Thorn Princess's manager. They share a professional relationship, with Matthew serving as the tactician, often instructing Yor in what to do for their next course of action. For her mission to bodyguard Olka Gretcher, Matthew came along to assist Yor from enemy assassins. As a trusted ally, Yor is grateful for Matthew when he arrives to help her when surrounded by enemies and gets concerned when he is injured during the fight. Throughout the mission, she is reminded by Matthew that they are soldiers fighting for peace but is surprised when he tells her to spend time with her family after the mission's completion.
== Berlint City Hall ==
=== Camilla ===
In the beginning, Yor and Camilla are not on good terms. While Yor distanced herself from others to hide her assassin job, Camilla was openly envious of Yor's attractive appearance and mocked her for her aloof attitude and lack of a partner at her age. She even exposes unsavory rumors of Yor's previous job to Loid in an attempt to discourage him from courting Yor, though it fails. Later, when Yor asks Camilla to teach her how to cook, Camilla gets to learn more about Yor and warms up to her a little but still acts somewhat thorny with her.
When Camilla and Millie end up working overtime, Yor volunteers to help, prompting Camilla to call her an angel. After hanging together with Millie and Sharon for dinner, Camilla sees a new side to Yor which they find cute and amusing.
=== Sharon ===
Yor's fellow co-worker among the female city hall clerks. Much like Camilla, they do not start on good terms, and while Yor appears to be friendly with Sharon, the latter is very apathetic when it comes to her. What the two have in common, however, is that they have children attending Eden Academy in the same year. As such, when Yor gets worried about Anya coming home late from a field trip, she calls Sharon to confirm Anya's whereabouts.
When Camilla and Millie end up working overtime, Yor and Sharon decide to help them. While they work, Sharon remarks to Yor that she has been more talkative with them lately, and they talk about how Anya is doing after the busjacking incident. After finishing work, Sharon invites the ladies to go out for food and drinks, and for the first time, invites Yor. That night, together with Camilla and Millie, she gets to see a new side of Yor, which they find cute and amusing.
=== Millie Myers ===
Yor's fellow co-worker among the female city hall clerks. Much like Camilla and Sharon, they did not start on good terms, though Millie appears to be the friendliest one with her between them.
When she and Camilla end up working overtime, Yor and Sharon decide to help them, much to Millie's gratitude. That night, together with Camilla and Sharon, she gets to see a new side of Yor, which they find cute and amusing.
=== Dominic ===
Dominic and Yor are co-workers at Berlint City Hall. They do not seem to see each other often or communicate closely, but he treats her well and is willing to help her out since she is the sister of Yuri, whom he is good friends with, and frequently gives him updates on her. He was also the one who advised her to ask Camilla for help in cooking and even agreed to be one of the tasters. With their help, Yor learned to cook one dish from her childhood.
== Friends ==
=== Melinda Desmond ===
After Yor saves Melinda from falling down a flight of stairs, the woman is deeply grateful and impressed by her skills. At Melinda's insistence, Yor participates in a volleyball match with the Lady Patriots Society, where Melinda helps Yor learn to play the game and have fun with everyone else. After enjoying the game, the women have tea afterward, and Yor learns that they all have problems raising their children as it is a normal thing. Yor is then invited to join the Lady Patriots Society for another get-together by Melinda and the others.
When Yor learns that Melinda is Damian Desmond's mother, she immediately apologizes for Anya punching him at the orientation. It is here where Yor gets a glimpse of Melinda's colder nature when she tells Yor that she does not care. Despite this shift in mood, Melinda states she has been curious about Yor since she is the mother of "the interesting little girl." When Melinda's political status is revealed (which completely goes over Yor's head), Melinda reveals that she hid who she was from Yor in the hopes that they can genuinely be friends. While receiving a ride home from Melinda, the lady makes a strange face as she says she hopes that Damian and Anya can get along, startling Yor. Wanting to learn more about parenting, Yor gets permission from both Loid and the Shopkeeper to be friends with Melinda, and she looks forward to getting a new friend.
== Other ==
=== Fiona Frost ===
When Yor first meets Fiona, she learns that she is Loid's work associate and is immediately somewhat jealous of her beauty. After Fiona lies that Loid talks poorly of Yor at work, she begins to fear that Loid wants to replace her with Fiona. Compounded with her insecurity as a normal, competent wife, this brings her down. After Loid leaves for a tennis tournament for work, Yor assumes Fiona is also there and questions their relationship, even contemplating getting rid of Fiona to prevent going back to her old life. Later, Fiona challenges Yor to a tennis match, and she agrees, worried that if she refuses or loses, Loid will report her to the SSS. Yor beats Fiona, and though her worries still remain, they are dissuaded when Loid explains himself and assures Yor is the family's mother and wife.
=== Olka Gretcher ===
Yor is given the task of protecting Olka and her son while aboard the Princess Lorelei ship. Early on in the mission, both of them learn about each other's situations and grow close over their need to protect the ones they love, willing to abandon everything just to keep their family safe. At the end of the mission, Yor has a grateful parting with Olka, who tells her that she gave her son a future and will be praying for her and her family's happiness.
=== Becky Blackbell ===
Yor sees Becky as Anya's friend and is very grateful for her being a good person towards her daughter. Though later they end up causing minor problems when Yor believes she made Becky drunk with the tea she served and quickly rushes her to the hospital. Yor only stops after Becky says she is not drunk and wanted Loid to go out with her. Yor does not seem to mind this, saying that it makes her happy to know that Loid is beloved by so many people. After unwittingly showcasing her strength in a strongman game, Becky asks Yor to teach Yor to make her as strong as her. Yor is touched by this and agrees to train her.
