## Relationships

### Ruelle

Princess Ruelle of the Autumn is one of Xenia's spies. She drives Xenia's carriage, and acts as a bodyguard for MC. She has the ability to become invisible, easily disappearing in the shadows. She shows great loyalty to Xenia, who has been training her for a some time. Xenia's late husband Valerian was Ruelle's uncle, making Xenia her aunt through marriage. Ruelle has idolized Xenia ever since she was a child, first meeting when Xenia married Valerian. Ruelle knew then that she wanted to be like Xenia when she grew up. After Xenia left her mourning period for Valerian and became Spy Mistress, the approximately 12 year old Ruelle wanted to help. She has been Xenia's assistant ever since.

### Valerian

Xenia married Val about fifteen years ago, despite him being perceived as above her station. Rumors surrounding his death vary, but all agree that she killed him. The popular theory seems to be that she married him for his wealth and status, then murdered him, leaving no evidence to implicate herself. She then inherited his fortune. When confronted by MC about these rumors, Xenia barely reacts but to shut down the conversation, but MC notices that she seems more hurt than angry. When MC is poisoned, Gideon offers resurrection as a potential option, which Xenia refuses. This leads Gideon to express sympathy for something terrible she and Valerian suffered. Later, Xenia mentions that she did something selfish to Valerian, and killing him was the greatest mercy should could offer. Since his death, she has felt finding beauty in anything wrong, for there was "no purpose for beauty in a world where [she] could not share it with him."

### Danilo

Magus Danilo is a Priest of the Autumn Temple. He shows open hostility to Xenia, and warns MC to avoid her. He claims that she is a scheming, untrustworthy murderer, having killed the last person who got too close to her. He is her late husband Val's brother, and has hated Xenia since his death, about twelve years ago. Danilo uses his magic to send reanimated wolf corpses to attack MC, but she is saved by Xenia. When asked why he would do such a thing, Xenia explains that Danilo's hatred for her outweighs his compassion for innocents. Danilo eventually comes to realize that Xenia was not responsible for his brother's death.

### Galen

Galen is an informant for Xenia, giving her valuable information in exchange for payment on occasion.

### Gideon

Gideon and Xenia trade knowledge of alchemy and he creates eye drops for her, as her eyes are not designed for constant exposure to sunlight. Gideon seems to known more about Xenia and Valerian that others, and offers her sympathy.

### Tansy Wintergreen

When Tansy somehow falsely proves herself the heir to the throne, Xenia's reputation as spymaster is further damaged after MC's failed public attempt to prove the same. After her coronation, Tansy asks Xenia to her work for her, specifically. She is angry when Xenia refuses. Later, she demands that Xenia and MC publicly kneel to her, which Xenia talks her way out of. Tansy is also conspiring to kill Queen Safir. After killing Lady Vo, Tansy demands Xenia work for her again, which Xenia then decides to play along with.

### Lady Vo

Lady Vo was Tansy's adviser, though expressed doubts as to Tansy's legitimacy. Despite disliking Xenia, she agreed to ally with her to bring the truth of Tansy's false claims to light. She was then poisoned by Tansy, dying before anyone could have given her an antidote.

### Myrine

Myrine is a fellow Sivi from Petralone. She was once Xenia's mentor, and Xenia learned about resurrection from her. Myrine was attempting to revive her late wife, but ultimately did not succeed. Myrine died at some point after Xenia returned to Altadellys after Val's death. Xenia never received news of this. Myrine's body was later possessed by an enemy of the royal family.
