## **Relationships:**

### **Family:**

##### Princess Marian Cress (Mother)

Tierre has no established relationship with his birth mother. Because of the nature of Limnea's culture, the Princess gave Tierre away at birth so he could be ensured a better life. He does not hold any ill will towards her as a result & looks forward to the day they can meet for the first time.

##### Brianni Channon (Adoptive Mother)

Queen Brianni is both Dariel’s mother, mentor, and for the longest time his best friend. As her last born child, Brianni was very attached to Dariel and vice versa. Brianni actively participated in the raising of Dariel more than she did Thalice. She taught Dariel the traditions of his homeland and worked with him to cultivate his medical prowess. Dariel admires his mother a great deal and strives to emulate her in his personal life.

##### Dariel Channon (Adoptive Brother)

Dariel is Tierre's younger brother.  He is one of the few people that Tierre let's his aloof attitude down around. Tierre has also taken somewhat of a father figure role for Dariel, guiding him in matters of self-defense, survival, and other common skills.

##### Princess Derane Channon

Dariel grew up not knowing he had a sister but had immediate chemistry in their first meeting. Their first time meeting  each other came at the Clash of Kings where they were paired up for the ceremonial dance. While there was no romantic chemistry, they formed a bond from their similar struggles in their respective competitions. Derane inspires Dariel to be more fervent when it comes to his personal goals.

##### King Bryton Raye

Dariel maintains a distant and formal relationship with his uncle. He always uses the proper honorifics when addressing him.

##### Prince Briar Raye

While Dariel is not that close with his cousin, he has no hard feelings towards him. In fact, he wishes they could be as close as he is with Tierre. Briar on the other hand, would much rather avoid dealing with his cousin. After, Dariel destroys the corruption of the Void from him, their relationship becomes even more awkward. This is finally resolved at the Clash of Kings where they face each other in the Test of Strength.

### **Friends:**

##### Onna Saffron

Onna is Dariel's first best friend and confidant. They met because she was chosen to join Brianni's court as a lady in waiting. Since she was so young, her primary duty was to be a friend to Dariel. This proved to be an easy task as the two shared many of the same tastes, even the same ultimate goal in life.
