**Relationships**

## Praesidium Residents

### James Venenum

Marcella dislikes James and considers him one of her enemies. The two started out with an amicable relationship as he was the one who gave her a job in Praesidium and informed her about the royal family as well as the lack of social hierarchy within the ranks of the attendants. They coexisted in their respective places for a while until Oscar informed her that James had made a potion of immortality. Curious about such an object's existence, she attempted to steal it, though it was dutifully protected by James. A rift of distrust was formed between the two, and Marcella began working to obtain the immortality potion. To do so, she created a new law that outlawed the creation of potions she deemed to be "dangerous" the immortality potion was one such potion, and after James was arrested it was confiscated. The two have a mutual dislike for one another and believe that the other is a threat to Praesidium.

### Oscar Sallow

Oscar and Marcella have an amicable relationship. She respects him enough to ask for his opinion regarding what to do with James and certain matters concerning ruling Praesidium. She relies on him for resources and seems to have a certain level of trust in him. Oscar seems to reciprocate the amount of trust and informs her of things he wants done. He additionally was willing to save her from Caligo when the latter arrived in Praesidium to kill her. Not much else is known about their relationship, though.

### Miya Sallow

The two do not get along the best, though Marcella considers her an ally. Miya's tendency to tease and condescend irritates Marcella, and she dislikes spending time with Miya. She speaks to her often, though, as she wishes to avoid excessively bothering Oscar, and relies on her for information. Despite her dislike for Miya, she seems to hold the ghost in a similar regard to Oscar in terms of trust, and was willing to give her the immortality potion to hide. She was also willing to capture and torture James for his treatment toward Miles at her request.

### Miles Prasanna

Marcella does not like nor dislike Miles. She believes he is a good worker and does his job well, hence why she appointed him general of Praesidium's military. The only reason she dislikes him is because of Miya's attachment to him, and the fact that this used to hinder her work. She would often ignore Marcella if she was spending time with Miles or grow angry with Marcella whenever she said something bad about him. This has slightly tainted her idea of Miles, though she does not have any interest in getting to know him personally.

### Rin Morozko

Marcella likes Rin. In Marcella's eyes, Rin is everything a model citizen should be: loyal to a fault, strong willed, stubborn, obedient, and dutiful. Rin completes her duties with finesse and ease, something that Marcella initially didn't care too much about. She is aware of Rin's relationship with Echo thanks to Miya's spying and is extremely pleased to hear that her loyalty to Marcella and the law is placed above her loyalty to Echo. She is slowly beginning to trust in Rin's abilities and is considering replacing Miles with her.

## Taraxacum Residents

### Caligo Diruyo

Marcella hates Caligo, she views him as an immature child and a threat to both herself and Praesidium. She previously viewed him as someone she might be able to "befriend" to gain another unknowing spy, though when he attempted to murder her, any thought of that was abandoned. Caligo hates her and wants to kill her for torturing Priya. She reciprocates the feeling and wants to arrest and kill Caligo for treason.

### Priya Kolohe

Despite her treatment of her, Marcella likes Priya. Priya is kind and compassionate toward everyone, including her. Despite the fact that Marcella manipulated her and tortured her, Marcella always saw Priya as the most dutiful, loyal and respectful person in the workforce. She even calls Priya "a sweet girl" before arresting her, saying that she regretted it. The sincerity of these words is unknown, as she doesn't seem to have a problem torturing her. Though she doesn't seem to hold any animosity toward her. She believes Priya has served her purpose as a servant and a tool, and is perfectly content with discarding her.

## Other

### Marnina Astraea

Marcella detests and somewhat fears Marnina. Miya informed her that she was a good friend of James and is able to manipulate magic, and for that reason she is wary of her. She captured her once, though Marnina was rescued not long after by Evasis, who Marcella does not know. Marnina wants to kill Marcella for what she did to James, and Marcella reciprocates the sentiment for putting her own life in danger.
