Elise’s mother’s name is Tanya. Tanya is a Pegasus and works as a exotic dancer at a club. Tanya had a strong relationship with gambling, which led to her debt. Even so, Elise’s relationship with her mother remained quite strong throughout her childhood. Elise would often go with her mom to the club. Elise cared very much for her mother. One of the reasons why Elise didn’t go to the Aurora Academy with Gareth was because she didn’t want to leave their mother alone.

Their relationship gets even more fraught when Elise discovers her mother’s plan to sell Elise into servitude as a stripper to pay Tanya’s growing debts.
