Elyos Aether/Relationships

### Biological Parents

Though she knew of the circumstances surrounding the deaths of her parents, Elyos held a constantly, unsure view of her parents' reactions of her hardship-ridden life, she is always shown to avoid the subject of her biological parents and even actively avoids merely bringing up the subject of people's parents to the point where it is noticable.

### Brandon hiroshi

One of her first friends that she made in her childhood and somebody who she has entrusted her entire life too, Elyos views Aether in a light akin to a sibling, even referring to him as **Older Brother** (兄, *Ani*?) as a sign of her platonic affection towards him.

### Malleus Aether

Though she initially took Malleus in after spotting her begging for food in the crime-infested streets of a seedy area, having felt immense pity for her in the beginning, she would begin to realize that the real reason was related to how similar their circumstances were. Both Elyos and Malleus' parents had died while protecting their children from a preceived threat while their adoptive parents had dumped them into often dangerous, and incredibly comprimising situations. From this point forward, Elyos carried this relevation with her which would grow to broadly define much of her interactions with Malleus, whom she would later refer to as a "survivor" not of a war zone or some other internal conflict but rather of repeated neglective abuse. Elyos adorned her new 7-year-old adoptive younger sister with the name of "Malleus" and as a sign of her adoption into Elyos' adoptive family the surname of "Aether". Malleus often refers to Elyos as **Big sis sis** (お姉ちゃん, *O nēchan*?), **Beloved older sister** (最愛のお姉さん, *Saiai nōnēsan*?) or **Ellie** (エリー, *Erī*?), as a sign for her deep platonic love for her adoptive older sister, which Elyos reciprocates by lavishing her with a variety of tasteful but honestly quite terrifying nicknames as well. Elyos' most favored nickname for Malleus is **Little Deathling** (リトル・デスリング, *Ritoru Desuringu*?) due to Malleus being born into an family of high-ranking assassins in the Siberan wilderness.

### Anna Zaychik

Anna was the second child to be adopted and came to be considered the "unruly child" amongst all of Elyos' adoptive younger siblings. Born from a family of Russian assassins who immigrated to Japan in the wake of Russia's most infamous villain General Winter, Anna would be the only member of her family to survive the immigration process as her beloved parents had bled out in the emergency room only feet away where the comatose Anna was being kept underneath surveillance. In the wake of the aftermath, Elyos was notified by the hospital of a possible blood relative but was disappointed to mind a comatose girl to which she held no relations too. Malleus evidently didn't share that disappointment and instead begged for Anna's adoption, quite reluctantly, Elyos would agree to the adoption.

Contary to public belief, Anna was not enarmored with her adoptive older sister at first and saw her as an obsessive, mananical-obsessed Hero-in-training with a offensive sleep schedule and even worse interpersonal relationship skills. Being the eldest child of two assassins Cocolia and Aleksander. As she grew to understand her adoptive older sister, she eventually acknowledged Elyos as family but refused to change either her given name or her surname in order to honor her family. Elyos agreed to the agreement and allowed her to retain her full name (given and surname) as a sign of respect towards Cocolia and Aleksander.

### Basil

Elyos' maternal grandfather who left a powerful and lasting legacy for Elyos to follow in his footsteps for---Elyos holds her maternal grandfather in the highest of lights---considering Basil to be a source of undispusted wisdom and seeing it as a
