Shin Wolford/Relationships

## Family

### Melinda Bowen

Shin thinks of Melinda as his beloved grandmother. He respects her knowledge of Enchantment Magic, but is somewhat afraid of incurring her wrath. He tends to hide his inventions from her as she doesn't like it when he creates something weird. Unfortunately, no matter what he tries, Shin always seems to get yelled at by her for his magic or inventions. He does start ignoring her later on this subject, since whatever she's saying become pointless.

### Sizilien von Claude

Sicily is Shin's fiancée. Shin was smitten the first time he laid his eyes on her. He always feels at ease when he's with her, especially since they got engaged. He also seems to enjoy teasing Sicily whenever the opportunity presents itself. In serious situations Shin's calm demeanor vanishes when Sicily is in danger willing to rescue her no matter the situation. Shin himself is also scared of her if he gets too close or does something perverted. On their shared 16th birthday, Shin and Sicily sleep together for the first time (ch. 55 in the manga).
