The Family Dynamic (writer's note)
When it comes to the children of Saryuko there is a clear "Yep they are siblings" feeling.
Mi-ios and Medu-Dasku being derived of the same entity are like identical twins who want desperately to be seen as different individuals. This is shown by how Mi-ios dresses up to the nines while Medu-Dasku is a total slob and how Mi-ios has a more adult approach to things while Medu has a "fuck it let's see what happens" childish attitude. Despite this often Medu has the better advice due to his more relax and engaging ways. Mi-ios comes off stuck up and judgemental. When it comes to their siblings they are definitely the big brothers to Serena and Serenity. To Squidious they tolerate him similarly to if he was just an adopted child. (Squidious doesn't care)
Serenity is the heir to the family destiny and wears the crown with grace. She is the head of the family and is almost unanimously obeyed. She cares deeply for her siblings and tries her hardest to keep them safe and sound. This weighs heavily on her and often it is Serena to the rescue for that. She sees Squidious as a replacement for the affections she had for Saryuko, not caring about the fact they are siblings in the public eye she like the twins sees him like an adopted brother, so her affections are fine to her.
Serena is the youngest and despite being the most malicious and blood thirsty of the five is clearly the youngest sibling. Due to a.... Traumatic event in her life that lead her to never trust men, (hopefully that's enough of a clue cause I don't want to say it. I'm a jerk) she has turned into a puffy ball of adorableness around her family. She has a tendency to pop out of nowhere in her sloth form and fall in slow motion and slap a sibling in a joking manner while saying heroically "Super Sloth" then scuttle off into the shadows not to be seen again till the next sneak attack. Though all tolerate it because they understand it's a cooping mechanism there is only one she doesn't attack due to their activeness in her life, Squidious. Squidious treats her like a baby sister, bringing her along on adventures, dragging her out of her home to watch movies, play in the park and all around have fun. She first thought it was because he knew of what happened and was just trying to comfort her in her times of need but eventually realized he just genuinely enjoys hanging out with her. Though he usually is there when she needs someone he is also always appearing at random intervals and dragging her along with him even if she is in her pjs.
Squidgious is the eldest though he has only become known in recent years thus why they call him the fifth child on occasion. He is generally the enforcer of wills in the shadows. Though he doesn't always agree with the others and will on occasion disobey Serenity, he does acknowledge she was chosen by Saryuko to be heir of his legacy but to him that means little to nothing. He only obeys when she makes a decision he agrees with. In recent years he has been secretly going on missions suppressing forces that have come into being due to a resurgence of his kind. The only one who knows the full extent of his shady activities is Serena who sometimes guilts him into taking her with him although he has literally kicked down her bedroom door and dragged her with him in her sloth onesie. His attitude towards the others is similar to a big brother. Usually exerting his dominance over the others he does also always have a tendency to be there for them whenever they need someone. This HAS lead to some moments of him popping up covered in blood and viscera because Serenity had a meltdown while he was off doing something in the shadows.
All together though they tussle and fight on occasion they are a fully functional family. This may be due in part of them being parts of Saryuko. Each of them represent pieces of what made Saryuko great.
Mi-ios is the calm collected mind that takes time to fully assess situations and make sound decisions.
Medu is the insane, spontaneous, and fun side that is so much fun to be around despite causing trouble and going overboard.
Serenity is the the bravery and courageous side that has seen many lives through hell and can lead them to victory and happiness.
Serena is the pure and utter destructive side. Powerful and almost unbeatable she represents the power that once was Saryuko.
Squidious is Saryuko's evil. Squidious is the side of Sary that was uncontrollable and uncaring. The part of Saryuko that many feared.
Despite this "parting" of Saryuko each has remnants of the impression left behind by their father. It's this that sometimes causes them to act out of character on occasion. It surely explains Squidious's behavior towards his youngest sibling even though he is supposed to be uncaring.
Hopefully this gets you to understand my love for these rambunctious siblings and get to know them a little better.
