Ione: her daughter, the one good thing she's done in this life and despite how ione came to be in this world, she would do anything to keep her daughter safe

Venti: friend. has always been at the bar. wonders why he doesn't age but doesn't ever ask. he treats her gently and is always there for advice if she needs it.

Venti:
Chiharu: feelings for. he's loved her a long time. nearly fifteen years despite having met her twenty years ago. ever since she found out he was barbatos and she didn't run. she only asked if his favorite wine was still dandelion. sees how much her past and her present weigh on her and does what he can to be by her side in the moment. one day, he wants her to be his and him, hers.
Sienna: friend. treats her most gently of all of the siblings. he finds her grace something rare and had he found the man first who touched her, well, that man would have been dead.
Maya: friend. wishes she wouldnt overwork herself but he understands what she does comes from love.
Nathaniel: friend, drinking buddy. finds him the most approachable of the three and perhaps the most sensitive. often the two are found going bar to bar together.
Ione: friend, niece figure. personally gave her a vision and views her as a child of the anemo archon in some regards. would start a war if this girl got her in any way.
Zhongli: old friend. loves to pester him from time to time and the two are old friends. finds it amusing he ended up with sienna, but cant say he disapproves.
Chixian: amusement. he wasn't sure what to think of him but he left everything he knew behind for a girl he barely knew. for that, he respects the boy and is more then pleased an anemo vision was granted to him.

Xue:
Xiao: beloved husband. to him, she is her partner in survival as much as she loves him as a person. she can exist just fine without him, but prefers not too. loves the person he's become with yuyan's birth five years ago. would do anything he asked of her.

Yuyan: her son. this little boy had her heart from the moment she held him. would and has unmade people just to keep him safe. he is her sunshine and all her grace.
Zhengyi: brother figure, fellow adepti. fought alongside him in the archon war. occasionally seeks his advice but normally is left exasperated with him. wishes he'd quit his 'loose ways'.

others tbd; ganyu, other adepti
Zhengyi:
Chixian: his student. no one knows where chixian is from, but zhengyi is his mentor and a father figure to the boy. the two have a fun dynamic with chixian often acting as the watery foil to his fiery nature. a lot of slapstick humor.
Guizhong/Sienna: 'his lady'... platonically. he had absolute loyalty to her long, long ago but when she died, he found a new purpose guarding the Guili Plains. with her reincarnation, that feeling still stands. he keeps an eye on her from afar and focuses on what he can protect now instead.
Ione: protectee. that protection now belongs to ione. he watches over her when she passes through liyue's borders and sees guizhong's spirit in her. they havent met, but he can see she senses him at the very least. maybe one day they will.
Zhongli: loyal too. after guizhong's death, morax gave him a purpose in guarding the guili plains, and while the contract is long fulfilled, he still hasnt left his post.

Chixian:
Ione: his most precious person. he left everything he knew behind for her on the chance she might not even love him back. he would do it all over again if it meant she smiled. he is the wind at her back and the only one who can catch her no matter how far she runs. values her autonomy but can't help but be a bit possessive.
Zhengyi: mentor, father figure. the one person who vouched and stood by him no matter what. he really, really wishes his mentor wasn't certain ways, but it can't be helped. he might know the burning general better then he knows himself.
Zhongli: respect. he is aware of his status as morax and former geo archon. he knows zhongli is watching him closely, and that to even get here to ione, his energy was siphoned by zhengyi.
Sienna: respect. hes aware of her status as guizhong's reincarnation. she scares him a bit... just a bit.
