Eliza's mother, Tarja Turunen (origin- solo work, Nightwish)

Tarja is a Councilwoman in Merry Willows, responsible for Judicial Matters/Law. Despite being half Dark Mountain Elf, she has never used weapons or fought with the rest of her family to defend her town, as she wanted to fit in. Because of her ancestry, she is incredibly tall and has what one would call an 'ample' bosom, though she really resembles her mother more than her father.

Tarja is partially responsible for Eliza's exile. Eliza feels she has been disowned, but Tarja still cares deeply for her in her heart. Tarja was never able to bond very well with Eliza, and Eliza resents her deeply for not being there, alongside her family, to protect the tribe.

Eliza's father, Trent Reznor (origin- Nine Inch Nails, How to Destroy Angels, Tapeworm, Exotic Birds, Slam Bamboo, The Innocent, the Urge, Option 30)

An unranked Dawn Watchman of Merry Willows, he generally didn't stand up to Tarja when it came to parenting matters, but he's a good man at heart. His family didn't disown him when he married Tarja, but they have kept their distance.

Eliza's uncle, Henry (origin- the Rollins Band, Black Flag, State of Alert, journalist, radio & tv host, acting, spoken word)

Henry was Tarja's older brother. He helped with his father and mother's farm, and was a major part of the defense of Merry Willows due to his great strength. He was exiled when Eliza was quite young. She was told it was due to his short temper and the damage he'd cause when bigoted villagers would attack him.

Eliza's Grampy Manson (origin- Marilyn Manson, Satan On Fire, Mrs. Scabtree, acting, watercolor artist)

Dark Mountain Elf, deceased, former prison guard at Sighfe Mountain. Fell in love with Eliza's Grammy, Gen, when she was held prisoner there over 1000 years ago. Arranged for her escape, and came with her to the Forest. They were turned away by all Tribes, including the Wild Ones, except for Merry Willows, who allowed them to settle on the outskirts of their Village. Developed into a formidable warrior almost by accident, and defended Merry Willows against raids with his wife, his son, (his daughter would not fight), and later his granddaughter. Manson was driven insane with grief when he saw his wife killed in battle, and was subsequently mortally wounded by a huge force of orcs, though none were left standing. This happened when Eliza was a pre-teen. Eliza often recalls his huge horn, large as a wagon wheel (it was not quite that large), the other had been broken off by the time she was an infant.

Manson had horn like those of an ibex:

Dark Mountain Elves do not have wings.

Eliza's Grammy Gen (origin- Genitorturers)

Deceased, was a Dusk Fae that never fit into the mold where she grew up. Her tribe (no longer extant) was not at all like the Wild Ones. They had nobility, and social castes. She was born into the nobility, but expected to go through obligatory military service. When she elected to become a Berserker, her family was intensely displeased, and when she indicated she was interested in a military career, her family began to plot her murder. The ruling class foolishly took offense to a minor raid the Dark Mountain Elves had made for some supplies, and sent Gen after them, hoping she would be killed, while they would still save face as having taken action. Instead, Gen was taken prisoner. There, she fell in love with one of the lowest ranking prison guards, finding he was not like the rumors had said Dark Mountain Elves were at all. The Guard, Manson, arranged for her escape, and she asked that he come with her. Together, they built a new life on the outskirts of Merry Willows for hundreds of years, very, very gradually gaining the trust of the populace Fae by defending the Village from thousands of attacks alongside their somewhat pathetic Watch. When Gen grew older, she still insisted on accompanying Manson into battle. When Eliza was a pre-teen, one day, Gen fell in battle nearby Manson, and it was the end of their story together. Eliza was left alone with her mother and father.

Gen had the wings of the Crimson Rose swallowtail butterfly (Pachliopta hector):

She had the horns of a small goat:

Artan- the 'son' of the Elder of Merry Willows and his wife. A troubled, strange boy.
