Hélène's family and one of the elite families ruling over
one of the most wealthy federal imperial regions. They're well known even
outside of the
empire for their power, sophistication and snobbism.
The head of family
The head of the family is proud and overbearing, but with good reason: she has powerful magic, i's clever, good at managing and manipulating people, and great at politics. This has led her to the belief that she should naturally rules over everyone. As the emperor's existence limits that ability, she is taking comfort by controlling her whole family no matter how distant the relationships, and she cannot stand when family members rebel against her dictates.
She is incredibly angry at Hélène for what she believes was truly "running away" and considers her as a stupid disobedient spoilt child. However, Hélène was good at hiding her true potential while she was still home—apart from her perfect grades at school—and so the head of the family doesn't really know of what Hélène has deprived them and is not making such a great effort to recover her.
Hélène's parents
They're more mellowed than the rest of the family and so can understand why their daughter rebelled against having her whole life dictating to her. Still, they cannot agree with her running away and are more than slightly upset with her, but they could still not bring themselves to cut all contact with her.
With time, they've resigned themselves to the situation and are now in regular contact with Hélène and always send her rare resources and information when she requires it. They're aware
Hélène's friend is suffering from a
curse that can only be alleviated with rare and costly ingredients, but they've decided against using this to blackmail Hélène into coming back.
