Liana and Lior
Liana and Lior are the 2 children of Sirelle Featherfall. Lior is the oldest of the two, being born a few hours before Liana. Liana is fiery and independent, having a rebellious streak against the status quo and authority (specifically, Minotaur authority). She's fiercely loyal to her family but isn't afraid to speak her mind, constantly challenging the world around her. Meanwhile, Lior is calm and cheerful, having a gentle disposition that makes him easy to be around. He often takes on the role of a mediator for his sister, balancing out Liana's feistiness with his postivity. The two lost their father at a young age after he was slaughtered by Minotaurs during a patrol, leaving their mother in shambles. Shortly after his death, Alphy would go through his divorce and go to stay with Sirelle, eventually starting a relationship with her and becoming a parental figure to Liana and Lior.
After their father's passing, Liana's grief manfiested as defiance. She became headstrong and stuboorn, channeling her pain to be independent and strong. She began to see all Minotaurs as personal enemies and their existence a threat to her people. Initially, after Alphy and Sirelle began dating, Liana wasn't sold and resisted the idea of him in their life. She had met him before, but he was the weird friend of her parents, she preferred his ex-wife Losa more. She still saw him as strange, however, the two ironed it out and she eventually grew to like him. After she showed interest in fighting, Alphy showed her numerous techniques and his research on Minotaurs, helping her to train to fight them and fuel her resolve. She eventually changed his techniques to her own version, having a unique fighting style that no other Kyrie has. After Alphy left, she moved to leading her own troops and being an active fighter against the Minotaur's.
Unlike his sister, Lior internalised his grief at his father's demise. Whilst he understands his sister's anger, he approaches the topic with caution and believes that there are more peaceful options to try and resolve the conflict. His father was always positive, so he wanted to try a method that he'd approve of, rather then a violent one. He tried to ensure his mother and sister were ok even though ehe himself was young, attempting to hold them together as they all grieved. Eventually, Alphy came into the picture, and Lior was quick to be curious and open with him, though he did maintain some caution. He helped to bridge the gap between Liana and Alphy and give him a chance, and over time, grew to love Alphy himself. Alphy encouraged him to be curious and showed him his research, eventually pointining Lior into the direction of science and research. After Alphy left, Lior focused on standing by his mother and sister, and tended to act as support to his sister and their village. He eventually moved to researching fauna and flora, taking in interest in the life force of all living things.
Both Liana and Lior took some time to warm up to Alphy, but he stayed with the family for the duration of their childhoods and teen years. Alphy stayed for 16 years, and the kids were only 4 years old when he met them. When he and Sirelle ended up breaking off their engagement, the two were uspet with him, but Sirelle encouraged them not to be. Alphy ended up mostly fixing things up with them before he left, promising he'd stay in touch and help their mother out to the best of his capacity until she either found a new partner or was able to settle down. Before he parted, he pulled together the money to get Liana a pair of Taloned Boots and Gloves, allowing her to slash opponents (Rogue Scout / Monk Way of the Shadow) and Lior a Research Kit that was filled with interesting gadgets and tools. He left a generous sum of money for Sirelle.
