Loid Forger/Relationships

Anya Forger
Loid's daughter, whom he adopted to have her attend Eden Academy. He picked her up from a run-down orphanage after witnessing her solve a crossword puzzle by herself (which she accomplished by reading his mind). Although he initially viewed Anya as a nuisance and expendable, he quickly became protective of her when she reminded him of his motivation for becoming a spy and sympathized with her desire to have a family.

Loid is often disappointed by Anya's performance at school and wishes she would spend more time studying and less time watching cartoons. He does his best to help her with her studies and is visibly disheartened when she fails. Loid also struggles to act like what he believes is a good, normal father and makes serious attempts to understand her, although her unpredictable nature never fails to surprise him. Regardless, he tries treating her like any good father would by caring for her, gifting her toys and rewards (which she treasures very much), and is sincerely proud of her whenever she succeeds.

Almost everything Loid does for Anya up to this point has been justified for Operation Strix. Even on their cruise vacation, he considered it part of the mission. However, Loid openly cares for Anya's wellbeing, to the point that he becomes visibly enraged, despite his usually calm and controlled demeanor. This is displayed when Edgar kidnaps her to lure him out or when Murdoch Swan provokes her during their entrance interview for Eden. When Loid heard about Anya's bus getting hijacked, he quickly rushed over from his mission to help her.

While he has off-handedly mentioned that he sometimes feels Anya can read his mind, Loid is currently unaware of her true nature as a telepath.

Yor Forger
Loid's wife, whom he married as part of Operation Strix. The two agreed to a cover marriage as it benefitted both of them in the long run while keeping the actual reasons from each other. Although married, they do not share a room or bed unless they have guests over, for which they share a room for appearances. Loid, being a great spy, tries to keep his emotions out of his work to prevent becoming attached to Yor. He treats her like any good husband would, taking her on dates when she is down and even covering for her inability to cook. However, he justifies these actions for the sake of his mission.

While Loid has made it clear that he has no romantic feelings towards Yor, he respects and appreciates her as a person and for her role and assistance in the Forger family. He notes at one point that he plans to make sure both Yor and Anya will be properly provided for by WISE once his work is finished and will try his best to follow up on them once his mission is over. When Yor unexpectedly befriends his target's wife, Loid believes that while beneficial for him, putting a civilian in danger for the sake of his mission is unacceptable, and he will be ready to protect Yor if things go south.

Despite his façade, Loid has lowered his guard around Yor on multiple instances. He lightly blushed when asked to kiss her and after he suspected her of having genuine romantic feelings toward him, even with his years of experience with women as a spy. He was also surprised when she knocked him out for the first time in years and found himself sleeping comfortably on her lap. When Murdoch Swan verbally offended Yor and Anya during their interview with Eden Academy, Loid displayed an unexplained fury intense enough to break a table and wounded his fist, despite only knowing them for a few days and how his actions could endanger his mission. Loid also felt immensely guilty for doubting and bugging Yor after Yuri's visit, despite Franky's warnings not to get attached. Fiona has also noticed that Loid, a master of fake smiles, leaks a tiny bit of genuine emotion when he is with Yor.

Loid is currently unaware of Yor's secret job as an assassin.

Bond Forger
Loid treats Bond as part of the Forger family, often taking him on walks. He is initially strict towards Bond, mainly raising and training him as a guard dog for the family. After Bond risks himself to save a dog and catch an arsonist, they become closer, and Loid shows more patience and care with Bond, asking him to value himself more as a member of their family.

Loid is currently unaware of Bond's psychic powers, and in instances where Bond has used them, Loid has attributed it to Bond's good nose.

Yuri Briar
Loid and Yuri have a very complicated relationship, as Yuri is jealous of Loid for being his sister's husband without being told, while Loid has to be careful not to reveal his true identity as Twilight since discovering that Yuri is part of the Secret Police. Loid always stays on guard when he is with Yuri but also tends to be soft with him as he knows that Yuri was the only person who supported and loved Yor for so long. While able to tolerate him, Loid tends to get annoyed by Yuri's crazy antics whenever he drops by their home.

Apparently Loid has a certain hatred-affection towards Yuri, since Loid did not dare to kill him when both encountered in the sewers as Yuri had a terrorized face, and again, after fighting and defeating him, he was about to give him a final hit, but Yuri mutters asking his sister for forgiveness, causing Loid to take pity on him and stop again, leaving with a incredibly low expression. This might show us that Loid does care for Yuri in a particular way.

Loid's Mother
Even though Loid has barely any memories of her mother's face, he still remembers the moments he spent with her hiding from the enemy attacks. Loid deeply cares and misses her from time to time, as he tells Yor her mother was a strong woman like her, and even remembered her voice when Yor sang the lullaby her mother used to sing him when he was only a kid.

Loid's Father
It is shown that Loid's father was very strict and sometimes harsh towards him, preventing him from playing with toy weapons and hanging out with his friends out of his desire for Loid to become studious. This came to cause arguments in their family, since his father sometimes reached the point of hitting and recriminating him for getting into on war topics, something that Loid was still too young to understand well.

Sylvia Sherwood
Sylvia is Twilight's handler and primary contact for WISE. They largely have a professional relationship based on a common interest in preventing war and their similar experiences from the war. He does not have a very positive view of her, believing she would reject his request for a vacation if he asked.

When he first joined Westalian Intelligence, Sylvia was his new commanding officer and was responsible for training him into a first-rate spy. Her extremely strict practices resulted in Loid having a fear of her, to the point of having nightmares of their training together. In addition to their strong relationship of trust, both empathize with each other due to their shared experiences from the war. Each time they meet for a briefing, they run a massive danger of being discovered, which also risks Operation Strix.

Fiona Frost
Fiona Frost, aka Nightfall, is an agent from WISE and was Twilight's former trainee. She is madly in love with Twilight and believes she should be the perfect role as "Mrs. Forger" in place of Yor.

Twilight seems to be unaware of her true intentions and feelings, only seeing her as a fellow agent with an ambition to make a name for herself. Loid also sees her as an unfit candidate for Anya's mother due to her overly strict upbringing and her cold demeanor.

Franky Franklin
One of Twilight's informants and close co-workers. Besides giving him information for his missions, Franky often helps with various chores, including taking care of Anya or Bond when both Loid and Yor are not home. On most occasions, however, Franky does not help for free. Despite this, Loid has a friendly relationship with Franky, even accepting his request to help him get a date with a woman he had a crush on, even though it did not benefit him.

They had previously met during the war as soldiers on opposing sides. Loid almost killed Franky after the man wandered into his trap but spared him after hearing Franky's reason for wanting to live. During their conversation, Franky spoke about how pointless the war was, which devolved into an argument after Loid's hometown got brought up. Their dispute exposed their location to Ostanian soldiers, and the two went their separate ways after escaping. After Loid's short-lived reunion with his childhood friends, Franky's words about not knowing the truth impacted him deeply.
