Loid Forger/Relationships

### Anya Forger

Loid's daughter, whom he adopts to have her attend Eden Academy. He picks her up from a run-down orphanage after witnessing her solve a crossword puzzle by herself (which she accomplished by reading his mind). Although he initially viewed Anya as a nuisance and expendable, he quickly becomes protective of her when she reminds him of his motivation for becoming a spy.

Loid is often disappointed by Anya's performance at school and wishes she would spend more time studying and less time watching cartoons. Regardless, he always tries to treat her like any normal good father would: caring for her wellbeing, gifting her a large penguin stuffed doll (which she treasures very much), and buying her a dog (which was canceled after they got Bond). He also patiently teaches her school lessons, makes serious attempts to understand her, and is visibly disheartened when she fails.

Despite this, everything he does for Anya to this point is mainly for his spy mission. Even when on their cruise vacation, Loid considered it as part of his mission. However, Loid openly opposes Anya being hurt, to the point that he becomes visibly infuriated despite his usually calm and controlled demeanor. This is displayed when Murdoch Swan provokes Anya in the Forger's entrance interview to Eden or when Edgar kidnaps her in an attempt to lure Twilight.

### Bond Forger

Loid treats Bond as part of the Forger family, often taking him on walks. He is initially strict towards Bond, mainly raising and training him as a guard dog for the family. After Bond risks himself to save a dog and catch an arsonist, they become closer, and Loid shows more patience and care with Bond, asking him to value himself more as a member of their family.

### Yor Forger

Loid's wife, whom he married as part of Operation Strix. The two agree to the cover marriage as it benefits both of them in the long run while keeping the actual reasons from each other. Although married, they do not share a room or bed unless they have guests over, for which they share a room for appearances only. Loid, being a great spy, tries to keep his emotions out of his work to prevent becoming attached to Yor. He treats her like any good husband would, taking her on dates when she is down and even covering for her inability to cook. However, he justifies these actions for the sake of his mission.

While Loid has made it clear that he has no romantic feelings towards Yor, he respects and appreciates her, both as a person and for her role and assistance in the Forger family. He notes at one point that he plans to make sure both Yor and Anya will be properly provided for by WISE once his work is finished and will try his best to follow up on them once his mission is over. When Yor unexpectedly befriends his target’s wife, Loid believes that while beneficial for him, putting a civilian in danger for the sake of his mission is unacceptable, and he will be ready to protect Yor if things go south.

Despite his façade, Loid has lowered his guard around Yor on multiple instances. He lightly blushed when asked to kiss her and after he suspected her of having genuine romantic feelings toward him, even with his years of experience with women as a spy. He is also surprised when she knocks him out for the first time in years, and he finds himself sleeping comfortably on her lap. When Murdoch Swan verbally offends Yor and Anya during their interview with Eden Academy, Loid displays an unexplained fury intense enough to break a table and wound his fist, despite only knowing them for a few days and how his actions could endanger his mission. Loid also felt immensely guilty for doubting and bugging Yor after Yuri's visit, despite Franky's warnings not to get attached. Fiona has also noticed that Loid, a master of fake smiles, leaks a tiny bit of genuine emotion when he is with Yor.

### Yuri Briar

Both Loid and Yuri have a very complicated relationship, as Yuri is jealous of Loid for having been his sister's husband without being told, and Loid has to be careful not to reveal his true identity as Twilight since he figured out Yuri is part of the Secret Police. Loid always stays on guard when he is with Yuri but also tends to be soft with him as he knows that Yuri was the only person who supported and loved Yor for so long.

### Sylvia Sherwood

Sylvia is Twilight's handler and primary contact for WISE. They largely have a professional relationship based on a common interest in preventing war and their similar experiences from the war. He does not have a very positive view of her, believing she would reject his request for a vacation.

When he first joined Westalian Intelligence, Sylvia was his new commanding officer and was responsible for training him into a first-rate spy. Her extremely strict practices have resulted in Loid having a fear of her, to the point of having nightmares. In addition to their strong relationship of trust, both empathize with each other due to their shared experiences from the war. Each time they reunite for a briefing, they run a massive danger of being discovered, which also risks Operation Strix.

### Fiona Frost

Fiona Frost, aka Nightfall, is an agent from WISE and was Twilight's former trainee. She is madly in love with Twilight and believes she should be the perfect role as Mrs. Forger in place of Yor.

Twilight seems to be unaware of her true intentions and feelings, only seeing her as a fellow agent with an ambition to make a name for herself. Loid also sees her as an unfit candidate for Anya's mother due to her overly strict upbringing and her cold demeanor.

### Franky Franklin

One of Twilight's informants and close co-workers. Besides giving him information for his missions, Franky often helps with various chores, including taking care of Anya or Bond when both Loid and Yor are not home. On most occasions, however, Franky does not help for free. Despite this, Loid has a friendly relationship with Franky, even accepting his request to help him get a date with a woman he had a crush on, even though it did not benefit him.

They had previously met during the war as soldiers on opposing sides. Loid almost killed Franky after the man wandered into his trap but spared him after hearing Franky's reason for wanting to live. During their conversation, Franky spoke about how much they, as soldiers, really knew, which devolved into an argument after Loid's hometown was brought up. Their squabble exposed their location to Ostanian soldiers, and the two went their separate paths after escaping. After Loid's short-lived reunion with his childhood friends, Franky's words about not knowing the truth impacted him deeply.
