Lilja's thoughts on her siblings: (game start)

• Crow could do no wrong. If he was mean or violent to someone else, they clearly deserved it, because he never treated Lilja in that way. (He 100 percent manipulated Lilja, but she saw it as helping.)
• Rook, on the other hand, was never good enough. They didn't keep their meanness in check around Lilja. Plus they weren't Crow, and as far as Lilja was concerned, Crow was what they should have been. (This may be a bit of revisionist history, because when they were very young, Li followed both twins and soaked up everything from both of them.)
• Tek was supposed to be her kitten, but he wound up being a baby instead of a kitten, and babies were not sufficiently interesting to keep her attention at that age. When he got a little older and liked for her to read stories and "do the voices," they got along fine. They also had long discussions about weird trivia and random facts. And then, he got weird and didn't talk to her anymore, but that was fine, because she had other things to worry about by then.
• Since she'd had a brief experience with baby Tek before Robin was born, Lilja stayed hands off with him until Tek was sufficiently interesting (toddler aged), and then she turned her attention back to Robin. He would tolerate her tea parties and reading to him, even if he asked SO MANY questions. And he played music she could dance to. Then he, too, got weird, and she was too busy doing other things to notice much.
• Dante was born when Lilja was almost an adult, and by that point, she understood that babies had to be taken care of. But she was still pretty hands off with Dante until that roughly 3-5 year old range, which is when kids develop personalities. But he cried SO MUCH, so all she could do was try to soothe him and entertain him. At least he gave her lots of good practice for her own kids. They have stayed friendly over the years, but "close" might be a stretch. She does welcome him into her family regularly, but it's with a much more calculating eye than it was when they were younger.
• Harlequin was born after Lilja was an adult, and she wasn't really involved in any of their upbringing. They seem to be doing pretty well for themself, and Li isn't sure they need or want her intervention.
