It just speaks so much to the love and support and closeness of the Lloy-Fang-D'vyen family. "I've done something Shadia hasn't" is like, very classic and normal and lowkey sibling rivalry. And she has 0 qualms expressing this to Shadia's mom! She has no fear of being shut down or shamed, she doesn't spare any worry that Thaisha might be cold to her in response.

And we see that trust immediately born out in the fact that Thaisha laughs and even says she likes this energy! There's no weirdness, it's just warmth.

I was thinking about real life parallels outside the family and she most feels like the specialist with 10 years of experience that shows up after you've been doing a rotation with a 65 year old asshole that is practicing completely outdated. She shows up and you feel a wash of relief because you might not be her priority but just her being present means that all nonsense is going to stop. Patients are going to be treated right and you can trust that what you are being taught is correct. Everybody around you might still have the same opinions in their heart they did before she showed up, but they are not going to voice them or act on them when in front of her, because they know that the results of what she stands for are undeniable. She made the candescent creed back off just by her presence, words and track record.
