Azalea

**Azalea**, a character in *Kindred* book, was your mother. She can make her first appearance in *Chapter 13*, although she is mentioned for the first time in *Chapter 1*.

## Appearance

As a ghost, Azalea's whole form is glowing white, and she has long wavy hair, and black eyes filled with black smoke. She wears a hairpin.

## Personality

Azalea was never a sentimental person, and kept her children at a distance. She was also full of secrets, while at the same time, she was looking out for her daughters. Because of that however, she never had time for them.

## Background

Azalea placed sigils and wards all over Santa Renata, to keep the wraiths from attacking it. It is speculated that Azalea's death resulted in the first Seal that held the Wraith King to be broken. In Chapter 13, it is revealed that she turned herself into a Seal to protect the town, but was eventually killed by wraiths. She also reveals that the reason she gave Maggie up for adoption was because she knew that your powers would awaken and alert the Wraith King if you stayed together.

## Relationships

### Your Character

Your mother was never there for you and Saffron, and because of that, you barely knew her. In Chapter 1, you have the chance to learn more about her if you play a drinking game with Saffron. If you do, you can discover a birthday card the two of you made for her when you were kids, a necklace given to her at Christmas, or a journal of Saffron's drawings. The birthday card indicates a time where only you, Saffron, and Azalea were present. According to comments spoken in Chapter 9, you and Saffron used to make breakfast for Azalea in bed during her birthday. In Chapter 13, you can use her locket to summon her spirit for help and guidance.

### Saffron

Azalea put Saffron through a lot when she was younger, and she used to dress her in boys' clothes. As it is revealed in Chapter 2, the reason she did so was because she was afraid of the fact that Saffron wanted to be a girl, since she believed that having three daughters would be a curse. In Chapter 1's drinking game, Saffron seems to believe that Azalea was a hoarder. If you decide to speak with her in Chapter 13, she says she knew Saffron would be a witch like every woman in their family, and it would put her and her sisters at risk.

### Maggie Graves

Azalea put Maggie up for adoption when you and Saffron were too young to remember. When she found out that she was pregnant with Maggie, she travelled far away from home to hide the pregnancy from her husband and her daughters, because she knew that having three daughters would put a target on your back and that you'd be in danger from the wraiths.

## Trivia

* Like her daughters' names, her own name is inspired by the plant of the same name.
