Aetheralia Caelum/Relationships

## Family

### Zenithynna Caelum (sister)

Thalia's twin sister whom she sometimes wonder if is some sort of sociopath. Thalia loves her dearly despite all their differences, and is evidently very close to her. Seemingly immune to *most* of Tanya's insults, Thalia wills herself to be her sister's 'social moral compass', actively calling Tanya out for all the inappropriate things she says and does, even though Thalia's obviously enjoying the drama the said things just created. She often involves herself in Tanya's antics just so she can keep an eye on her, and also for that satisfying feeling of saying 'I told you so' when things finally go wrong. Or so she says.

### Argyris Caelum (father)

Flashy and confident, and yet principled and kind - basically the pattern of everything Thalia wants to be in life. She's very much pampered by Argyris, and he is very much an angel in her eyes. She sees him as the epitome of leadership and perfection, and she does her best to take after him. A close friend of the Guild Master.

### Theresa Myrrh (mother)

Her beautiful and selfless mother, whom Thalia knew actively held back her fire like how a volcano hides it's wrath within. She's the best magic user Thalia knew, being proficient with two elements, and yet Theresa made less of herself to raise her family up. Thalia is filled with much respect for her, but is also lowkey scared of her because she knows what her mother can do. A close friend of the Guild Master.

## Guild Members

### Nikolaus Ashwin

The Guild Master, the one who first welcomed them into the halls of the guild that rainy night. Even before she met him, Thalia heard a lot about Nikolaus, courtesy of her parents' fond stories about him. Honestly, Thalia expected him to be more put-together than what she observed when she actually *met* him, but later she realized that maybe her parents just embellished a lot of the tales they told them. Or... maybe, the tales were *true*, and it just so happens that beyond the heroicness, Nikolaus is *also* still a sleazy old man. He's very lovable though, and Thalia is thankful that he took them in. Even though she feels bad for Citrine sometimes.

### Zen Breckenridge

Even though Thalia finds his jesting personality and coquettish advances (particularly on Celeste) very cringey, she likes him enough not to actively try to set his things on fire or burn a portion of his bread. She does see that he's very nice and attentive to her and her twin, despite him trash-talking them all the time. Thalia used to be very cautious of him at first, but she eventually learned to trust Zen more, especially since she also sees that Tanya trusts him so much. Combat-wise, she finds him very skilled, and actually considers him an amazing sparring partner.

### Citrine Ashwin

They're not particularly chummy, but Thalia also enjoys participating in antics by Zen and Tanya if it's to get a reaction from Citrine (even though Thalia would 100% try to make it look like she's the one who's trying to stop the two from causing trouble). She appreciates Citrine's no nonsense approach to things, which Thalia thinks they honestly need to have some form of order in the guild.
