Inn’s Family[edit | edit source]
Lyonette du Marquin[edit | edit source]
Erin and Lyonette share a close familial relationship, each being aware of the other's secret identity as an Earther and [Princess] respectively. While Erin is technically the "boss," Lyonette is responsible for the day-to-day management, as well as the technical and business aspects of the inn.
Their first encounter was when Erin saved Lyonette from the freezing cold after the latter's exile from Liscor, hiring her as a [Barmaid] for The Wandering Inn. However their relationship started off rocky as Lyonette considered Erin to be beneath her station, while Erin viewed Lyonette as a brat. Furthermore, Erin foists Lyonette onto Toren for training, who unbeknowst to the [Innkeeper], physically abuses Lyonette.[1] However, when Erin is stranded in Celum, Lyonette is left alone in the inn, low on supplies in the middle of winter. Faced with starvation, Lyonette is forced to mature and adapt, and begins managing The Wandering Inn in Erin's absence, while also taking care of Mrsha.[2] While Erin is initially dismissive of Lyonette's accomplishments, Zel Shivertail forces her to recognize Lyonette's changes for the better,[3] and they develop a closer and friendlier working relationship. Soon though, Lyonette begins to feel stifled as Erin refuses to listen to her ideas, and also hires two Human [Barmaids] from Celum, Safry and Maran, who bully the [Princess].[4] Though Ryoka, Pisces, and some of the guests helped expose the [Barmaids'] true colors, Erin wished Toren would come back, causing Lyonette to yell at the [Innkeeper], revealing the torment she endured under the skeleton's tutelage.[5] After their reconciliation, Lyonette takes over some of the inn's responsibilities, effectively becoming its manager.
Mrsha[edit | edit source]
Numbtongue[edit | edit source]
She and Numbtongue do not have a parent-child relationship, though Erin is the "leader" of the Inn. Unlike Bird and Mrsha, Erin gives a significant amount of deference to Numbtongue's independence, and allows him to generally do whatever he likes. The closest analogue to a traditional family relationship would be that of a cousin, albeit living in the same household. As time went on though, it became clear that Numbtongue's feelings were not quite in the same vein as Erin's. He developed romantic affection for her and eventually even confessed his love, but Erin turned him down stating that she didn't want to ruin what they had.[6]
Bird[edit | edit source]
Erin considers Bird a surrogate child mainly due to his perceived immaturity, and his practically abandoning the Free Hive to be with her. Due to this, while she normally defers to Lyonette to authority when it comes to Mrsha most of the time, she mostly doesn’t do the same with Bird.

Ilvriss Gemscale[edit | edit source]
Both she & Ilvriss retain a healthy amount of respect for each other. While Ilvriss was initially frustrated with her antics and her continued lack of respect, he ultimately grew to appreciate it, gaining unfiltered views of someone who he could consider his friend.
While Erin treats their relationship casually, Ilvriss treats it more formally after Volume 6. This comes with a healthy amount of respect thanks to her ability to seemingly do the impossible. He even treats her as a teacher in certain situations, using her as inspiration to decide his next actions.
It’s also later revealed that Ilvriss had unresolved romantic/sexual feelings and inclinations towards Erin. Something that surprised him, but ultimately made sense.[7]
Enemies[edit | edit source]
Magnolia Reinhart[edit | edit source]
While she didn’t consider her an enemy normally, Magnolia acted in her own self interests which often ran counter to Erin's. Magnolia used Erin's door to get to Pallass and reveal the Free Antinium’s true capabilities.[8] She also put a tax on her door, even though it gave her money, it was something that Erin was against in the extreme. These concurrent actions along with the actions of Pryde and other ladies on Magnolia’s side, would leave Erin antagonistic to Magnolia. So much that Erin would nearly use Pelt to forge a weapon in likeness to a gods gift to kill her.
Later, Erin saved the lords Magnolia was punishing with her Trade Embargo. Erin used her door to establish free trade between them, Liscor, Esthelm, Celum, and Pallass. This completely bypassed the trade war between Magnolia and the allies of Tyrion and angered Magnolia relentlessly.
Dead Gods[edit | edit source]
She swore a debt of vengeance against them for killing all the ghosts they had once sworn to protect. She also warned that the next time they faced she would kill all of them. And she plans to honor that promise.
Slavers of Roshal[edit | edit source]
She didn't like slavers like the Slavers of Roshal on principal, but after she befriended Elucina, the Rebel of String,[9] and learned from Cawe what had happened to her and Pisces, she now actively loathed them. Her dislike for them is so strong that even with the Dead Gods as the enemy of all, she didn't seek their ghosts for help,[10] and actively considers them enemies.[11] She had even plotted with Elucina and those who hate slavery to have Khelt takes up arms against Roshal.[12]
One mark that shows that she has no trust or friendship towards them is when she used Laedonius Deviy's Horn to call to arms every ghost she considered a friend, which was almost everyone in the Land of the Dead, except the Slavers of Roshal who heard nothing.[13]
Currently she is preparing and waiting for when she has all the right conditions for her to post the Legendary Quest: Destroy Roshal.[14]
Others[edit | edit source]
Flos Reimarch[edit | edit source]
Persua Alcherie Mavva[edit | edit source]
Erin has currently not yet met with Persua, but she should know at least from both Ryoka and Garia what an awful person Persua really is from her leading into breaking Ryoka leg, to bulling Garia.
In an Alternate Reality of What If Persua and Ryoka were friends, Erin and Persua didn’t really like each other, but from the start Erin used her subtle manipulation to meddle with Persua and Ryoka's unstable relationship so that they genuinely befriend and care for each other.[15]
