## Family

### Tisiphone

**Tisiphone**: Megaera's younger sister.
Initially, they didn't interact much because she and Alecto were expelled from the House due to their misconduct and are preoccupied with mortal world affairs. While Megara dislikes her sisters' pranks, she finds Tisiphone easier to handle compared to Alecto. However, she worries about Tisiphone and considers her too sensitive for her stressful role, thinking that Tisiphone takes her job so seriously that she is exaggerating. Megara wonders if the workload is overwhelming Tisiphone psychologically.

### Alecto

**Alecto**: Megaera's younger sister.
Megaera didn't want things to be like this, but currently, Megaera is distant and doesn't seem to get along well with her sisters, the Furies, due to differences in personality and past interests. However, Megaera tells Zagreus that her youngest sister, Alecto, loves her work even more than she does. Despite Megaera being tired of her sisters' pranks and the trouble they have caused in the House of Hades, as well as their contrasting professional conduct, Alecto will cover for her sister if she can't handle the task.

## House of Hades

### Zagreus

**Zagreus**: Megaera's colleague.
Megaera and Zagreus were once in a relationship, but by the events of the game, this relationship has long since ended due to some mistake on Zagreus' part. They are shown to be on uneasy terms from that point on. When Zagreus begins his escape attempts, Megaera is tasked in stopping him. She disapproves of his attempts to leave the Underworld, viewing it as him avoiding his responsibilities and his family. Zagreus has the option to repair their relationship, and perhaps rekindle their romance, should he choose to.

### Thanatos

**Thanatos**: Megaera's colleague.
Megaera and Thanatos are co-workers who bonded over the incident of being deceived by Sisyphus in the past and, more recently, their frustration due to their reluctant affection for Zagreus.

If Zagreus decides to pursue a relationship with Thanatos, he will reveal that Megaera encouraged him to do so, and vice versa. Furthermore, if Zagreus also seeks a romantic relationship with Megaera, the three of them may eventually form a polyamorous relationship, and Megaera is perfectly fine with this arrangement.

Meg and Thanatos have a private conversation and come to an agreement. To Zagreus's surprise, he finds both of them in his room one day, with Thanatos offering a casual greeting and Megaera chuckling. She playfully asks why he's so surprised, considering his room lacks doors. Initially intrigued, Zagreus quickly realizes that both of them are smiling at him and understands their intentions. Megaera encourages Zagreus to have more faith in both of them, mentioning that they were friends long before Zagreus was even born.

### Hypnos

**Hypnos**: Megaera's colleague.
Initially, she paid little attention to Hypnos, viewing him as a clown whose childish antics did not justify his lack of work ethic. However, whenever Megaera emerged from the Styx after facing Zagreus, Hypnos had the habit of offering her the same useless yet captivating advice he used to give Zagreus.

As she spent more time conversing with him, Megaera began to appreciate his qualities, like Hypnos' optimistic and and fun-loving side, a rare trait in the underworld. Megaera started to view the information that Hypnos provided about Zagreus as quite useful for her next rematch too. Over time, Meg's constant presence started to spark a growing interest in Hypnos. To Hypnos, he was Megaera's "dream man," making Meg have to clarify things for him all the time, but she believes he is more than capable of handling the eventual rejection.

She became the only person, apart from Zagreus, who willingly engaged in regular conversations with him. Even when he mentioned his "break up with him", Megaera takes Hypnos calmly. She even told Zagreus that Hypnos had given her "wonderful advice." She even mentions to Zagreus that Hypnos here had given her "wonderful advice," which makes Hypnos agitated.

### Dusa

**Dusa**: Megaera's colleague.

Megaera considers Dusa her most intimate friend, despite the differences in their positions. She holds Dusa in high regard, seeing her more like a sister than Alecto and Tisiphone. She is shown careful and concerned about the well-being of the gorgon maid. They are always seen together gossiping on days off, drinking and Megaera always staying updated on Dusa's latest gossip.

After completing Dusa's favor, Megaera states to Zagreus that he and Dusa did a good job renovating the Lounge. When Dusa is briefly fired, Meg becomes visibly upset, blaming Zagreus for losing her bestie friend in the House. Megaera forcing Nyx's hand, goes to Zagreus, and even confronts him about it in the Underworld, insisting that he fix it. Upon Dusa's return, Meg is relieved but remains frustrated with Zagreus, feeling that it should never have come to that point in the first place.

Before accepting Zagreus' proposal, she first checks if Dusa will be okay with it, canceling it if necessary. When Dusa expresses that this is great news, and she supports her and Zagreus, and that they should dive into it headfirst, Megaera says that Dusa is indeed a very kind friend, and if Dusa is fine with it, she's also fine with it.

### Nyx

**Nyx**: Megaera's boss.
Megaera shows a great deal of reverence to the goddess of Night. She very rarely doubts her, and consistently listens to her advice. Megaera sees beyond a mentor and sees maternal figure. Unlike the other Furies, and as much as Megaera is largely closed off about her feelings, while Nyx brushes her hair, she will open up to her, crying in her lap and sharing her work frustrations, while Nyx comforts her.

### Hades

**Hades**: Megaera's boss.
Megaera is one of the Fury sisters and acts as the enforcer of Hades' orders, punishing those who defy his dominion over the dead. The relationship between Megaera and Hades is professional and hierarchical. Hades relies on Megaera to carry out his orders to punish wrongdoers and maintain order in the underworld. She holds a significant position in the administration of the underworld and fulfills her role efficiently, despite internal conflicts with Hades' rules and desires.

In reality, she does not agree with following them lately due to her unresolved matters with Zagreus. Indeed, he is putting her in a position she detests, and he likely knows it. He primarily sends her after Zagreus to keep him at bay, but it is beyond her reach to question them."

### Cerberus

**Cerberus**: Megaera's friend.
He used to take care of Megaera and Thanatos when they were very young. They still play with Zagreus from time to time.

### Achilles

**Achilles**: Megaera's colleague.
He encourages Zagreus to pursue both Than and Meg. Almost everyone likes Achilles, including Megaera.

### Charon

**Charon**: Megaera's colleague.
Although she doesn't even want to get close to him, Charon was seen taking Megaera, Thanatos, and Zagreus on a casual boat ride for fishing, which was very nice of him.

### Persephone

**Persephone**: Megaera's queen.
Their relationship hasn't been explored in depth, but everyone in the underworld misses her. Megaera probably considered her a better queen in terms of treatment than the temperamental Hades.

## Underworld Residents

### Sisyphus

**Sisyphus**: Responsible for torturing him.
Megaera loathes the former king for his past crimes, and is often tasked in punishing him, alongside her sisters. She pays little mind to his apparent change of heart, even when Zagreus vouches for him. The Furies - and particularly Megaera - torment him as he tries to push the boulder, Bouldy, although with Zagreus's recent escape attempts, they seem to be neglecting this specific duty.
