* His Family

## Lincoln

Being twins, the boys are quite close with each other despite their contrasting personalities. Lio was born 7 minutes after his twin, resulting in Lincoln referring to himself as the “older twin” and occasionally saying that this means Lio has to listen to him. Naturally, Lio disagrees. Lincoln used to pick on Lio when they were younger because of his shyness and awkwardness, but the two get along much better in current times. There exists a picture of the two twins wearing an oversized T-shirt that says “This is our get along shirt” from when they were 7 that was taken after a nasty fight between them. Nowadays the two get along swimmingly with Lio looking out for his brother and covering for him whenever needed and Lincoln doing the same for him. Lio even refers to Lincoln as “Oniisan/Niisan” as a nod of respect to his older twin. It is even joked that both Lincoln & Lio have a “twin telepathy”. The fact that they are the only boys in the family helps.

## His sisters

### Generally

Despite the chaotic, insane, and occasionally stressful antics from his sisters, he loves them deeply, and really cares for them. For the most part, he has fun being a part of their chaos, and doesn't mind being one of only two boys

Although Lio may act negative towards his sisters or being mad to them like the sisters did, as shown in "Heavy Meddle", "Linc or Swim", "Cereal Offender", "Study Muffin", "Brawl in the Family", and in "No Such Luck", that is normal since all siblings occasionally have negative moments.

## Luan

    Out of all of his siblings, Lio is the closest with Luan. He is often the only sibling to laugh at her jokes. Their close bond started after Lincoln & Lio’s first day of school, where Luan comforted the twins and uplifted their spirits by telling them jokes after they came home in tears. From then on, Lio developed an appreciation for Luan’s humor with her jokes/puns often cheering him up whenever he was down. It is this event that inspired Lio’s protective nature when it comes to his siblings as well as his drive to make sure none of them are ever down. After Lincoln’s aforementioned prank got the two twins in trouble, it was at Luan’s suggestion that Lio changed his hair. Lio looks up to Luan and will often go to her for advice. There was even a brief time where Lio tried emulating Luan in a similar manner to the way Carl tried emulating Ronnie Anne in Roll Model. Because of this, Lio has no qualms about helping Luan prank the rest of the family during April Fools (it helps that up until season 4, he was the only Loud who remembered that her birthday fell on April Fools). He even wears a yellow flower on his shirt to parallel the pink flower that Luan wears on hers. Luan seems to reciprocate his affections, mentioning that she’s flattered that Lio looks up to her out of all his siblings and even confiding in him when something is bothering her. Luan is rather protective of Lio, looking out for her little brother whenever she can and noticeably becoming more serious whenever he is threatened or in distress. In addition, she can immediately notice when something is bothering Lio.
## Rest of his sisters

### Lori

As with siblings in real life, Lio shows a great deal of respect towards his eldest sister, Lori. Usually the two of them get along rather well, although there can be times when they get on each other nerves’. For Lori, it’s when Lio assists Luan in setting up practical jokes and joining her in her hurricane of puns. For Lio, it’s Lori’s strict approach to babysitting. Following the events of No Guts, No Lori, Lio comes to better understand why Lori is so strict when it comes to babysitting. There are times when Lio tries to impress Lori or gain he approval, similar to how a younger sibling looks up to an older sibling. In one of the short stories, Lio expresses greatly missing Lori after she moves away to college.

### Leni

When it comes to Leni, she and Lio have quite the wholesome bond. The two of them share a few things in common such as moments of ditziness, general innocence and their naïveté, leading to several heartwarming moments between the two. Leni is the one sibling that Lio will always help without hesitation, even if it’s a danger to his own health. This is shown when Lio climbs up into the roof of the house to retrieve Leni’s sunglasses after a bird stole them.

In No Leni, Speed Limit Signs Are Not Just Suggestions, Lio rides alongside with Leni after the latter attains her driver’s license when no of his other siblings were willing to accompany her. Lio also loves volunteering to model the dresses and outfits that Leni creates to lend her a hand. On Leni’s part, it is shown that she too is protective of Lio and similar to Lincoln, she expresses a like for Lio’s snow white hair.

### Luna

Although on paper, it would appear that the two would be at odds with each other, Luna and Lio get along like a house on fire. This can be attributed to a shared love of classic rock music and an appreciation for music in general. Lio oftentimes refer to Luna as “the best rocker in Michigan”. In the short story 101.7 Let’s Get Loud, Lio and Simon accompany Luna and Sam to their radio show and act as their hype men.

### Lynn

Outside of Luan and Lincoln, Lynn is the sister that Lio spends the most time with. Although the two seem like polar opposites with Lynn being extroverted compared to Lio’s introverted nature, Lynn is something of a mentor to Lincoln. Lynn recognizes Lio’s potential and does her best to help him feel more confident in himself while bringing out said potential. It was Lynn who encouraged Lio to join the middle school track team after noticing Lio’s speed when it came to running. To his credit, Lio has been shown to be able to keep up with Lynn in terms of physicality.

### Lucy

Due to his love of horror movies and Edgar Allan Poe, Lio has a close bond with Lucy as well. Lio introduced Lucy to Aurelio Voltaire and in return, Lucy introduced him to the horror movie Suspiria. Lio appreciates his sister’s love in the occult and takes an interest in her tarot card reading. It’s worth noting that Lucy is the only person Lio has ever risked his anonymity for. On one occasion when Lucy was considered a freak for being “gothic”, Lio wrote a Gothic Homemaking article for the school paper under a pseudonym to help Lucy feel more accepted and was even willing to continue writing it even after Lynn threatened to expose his identity.

### Lana

Oftentimes, Lio and Lana get along great with one another. The two have a shared love of animals and oftentimes, Lio will help Lana care for and rehabilitate stray animals. Although rather squeamish, Lio doesn’t seem to mind Lana’s affinity for grossness. Lana, for her part, looks up to Lio as much as she does Lincoln and occasionally reassured Lio that he’s just as good as his twin.

### Lola

Similar to Lana, Lola seems to look up to Lio as an older brother. She respects his determination to be a gentleman even when it works to his disadvantage. Lio meanwhile will do anything for his younger sisters and Lola is no exception. Lio had acted as Lola’s partner in crime for several of her adventures.

### Lisa

Perhaps Lio’s strangest sibling relationship is with Lisa. Not that the two are at each other’s throats, but rather that Lio shows complete loyalty to his second youngest sister, being a willing guinea pig for her experiments. Lio encourages Lisa’s passion for science and has even helped Lisa with her studies on one occasion thanks to his knowledge of marine life.

### Lily

If there’s one thing that Lio takes more seriously than anything, it’s acting as a good older brother to Lily. Lio has tried to be the best role model he can be to Lily. It’s shown that Lio’s actions do have some influence on Lily, specifically her painting aspirations and her slight mischievous side. Just like Lincoln, Lik is shown to really enjoying babysitting Lily. A great example of this is in the short story Babysitter Blues.

## Kat

Kat is Lio’s only real friend and his implied love interest. The two met at a party that Lio was dragged to by Lincoln and hit it off over their shared interest in manga. Kat helped Lio get over his social anxiety and Lio in return, helped her come out of her shell. From there, the two have had a close knit friendship, with Kat being the only person Lio is willing to go out in public to hang out with. Neither of the two consider themselves normal and celebrate their eccentricities, which is another reason they get along well. Kat eventually goes onto become his wife and the couple have thirteen children together.

### Christopher Alexander ‘Chris’ Taylor Jr.

Out of all of his sisters’ boyfriends, Chris is the one that Lio trusts the most. He maintains a good friendship with him and knows that he can trust him with the safety of his sister. Lio has a great respect for Chris and even views him as a surrogate older brother at times to the point of referring to him as “Aniki”.

### Clyde

Lio has no problems with Clyde and considers him an acquaintance. According to Clyde, it took years before Lio became comfortable enough around Clyde to talk to him, something that wasn’t personal but rather a result of Lio’s shyness. Lio does sometimes get annoyed at Clyde crushing on Lori, once even telling him “Stay away from my sister”. This doesn’t stop Lio from accompanying Lincoln & Clyde on their adventures every once in a while.

### Meli

Lio has a strange friendship with Lola’s friend, Meli, owing to the fact that he can relate to her feelings of social anxiety and introversion.

## Enemies

### Chandler

Lio considers Chandler to be his archnemesis and is one of the few people that Lio shows open hostility towards. His conflict with Chandler stems from the latter taking advantage of and being antagonistic towards Lincoln. Lio sees Chandler as a spoiled jerk and a bully, drawing his ire. Chandler returns his ire, derogatorily calling Lio “Lincoln’s lapdog brother” and intentionally pushing his berserk buttons by insulting his younger sisters. The animosity between the two is especially palpable after Chandler threw a rock at Lio’s head, putting the latter in a coma and resulting in him having to spend 4 weeks relearning basic tasks. Their rivalry resumes in season 5 after Chandler destroys his notebook full of drawings out of spite in an act of revenge against Lincoln.

### Hawk & Hank

Like the above, Lio’s dislike of them stems from the way they’ve hurt his sisters, first by breaking Lynn’s leg during a football game and then by almost ruining Halloween for his younger sisters. Lio is unphased by their size and isn’t afraid to stand up to the bullies, even if it means getting beaten up.

### Flip

Like the previous two, Lio’s disdain of Flip comes from the way the latter has treated his family. His cheapness as well as the time he turned Lincoln and Clyde against each other is what kickstarted the animosity. After Flip scammed the kids out of money by selling them fakes of Lily’s scarf, Lio’s dislike of him only grew. After Flip nearly left them to freeze to death during the events of Snow Way Out, the dislike became outright hatred. Flip is the only person that Lio will intentionally antagonize, sometimes even without provocation. Even into his adulthood, Lio retains his dislike of Flip.
