Parents
Adelynn Rosek
- Lael's mother, A 53 year old civilian merchant.
- Adelynn is an independent merchant who resides on Earth and also delivers cargo for clients. She's very materialistic, narcissistic, and controlling. She abhors anything that harms her reputation or embarrasses her and she has no patience for stupidity or ignorance. Because of her narcissistic nature, she thinks that she's always right and hates when people question her. Lael's relationship with her mother is extremely strained due to her mother's high, and at times, unreasonable expectations of her.
A. ROSEK: ::snorts:: I just found out recently that my last hope for grandchildren has decided to follow in his sister's footsteps. How do you think I am, Lael? L. ROSEK: ::stiffens:: Mom-- A. ROSEK: ::waves her off:: No. No. I'm sorry. ::exhales heavily:: That wasn't necessary. ::pauses:: I'm fine, dear. How are you doing?

Aldek Desai
- Lael's father, a 56-year-old Al-Leyan Ambassador.
- Aldek is an Ambassdor on Luraul. Lael recently met her father and has discovered his side of the family has unexplained empathic abilities. Since their initial meeting, the two have grown close and enjoy a strong father-daughter relationship. He is very soft spoken and dotes on his daughter, providing a calming influence in Lael's life. He has been a rock through Lael's recent difficulties in re-adjusting to life in her home universe, including the break-up of her and Jansen's engagement as well as the development of her telepathic and empathic bond with Chythar Skyfire. Getting to know her father has given Lael a sense of self that she lacked prior to meeting him.
Desai: Then just have faith. If it’s meant to be, it will find a way.. ::pauses:: You know, maybe you need a vacation. I’ve been telling everyone about you and they’d really like to meet you. ROSEK: ::surprised:: Really? DESAI: ::smiles:: Of course. Especially your cousins. I’d be happy to put you up in my estate for a few days. There really is a lot you can learn about your Al-Leyan heritage. ::grins wryly:: I doubt your mother told you much. ROSEK: ::stiffens:: No. She really didn’t. What I do know I found out myself through research. DESAI: ::shrugs:: Well… ROSEK: ::pauses:: Let me get a few things in order first then I’ll hop a transport. I have to ask my Captain’s permission. DESAI: ::frowns:: Will that be a problem? ROSEK: ::shrugs:: I’m sure it won’t. She’s usually pretty good about it. DESAI: ::smiles:: I’ll plan for it then. ROSEK: ::smiles in return and nods:: I’ll contact you as soon as I know what transport I’ll be coming in on. DESAI: ::nods and grins:: I’ll look forward to seeing you soon, daughter. ROSEK: ::grins in return:: Same here, Dad. “

Siblings
Kellan Rosek
- Lael's twin brother, a 27 year old civilian doctor.
- Kellan is currently a pediatric doctor working at The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia on Earth. He is typically very introverted and very private. Like his sister, he is very ambitious and resourceful with strong intuition and a mature outlook on life. The only person that he truly trusts is Lael, therefore he will open up to her more so than any others. Prior to her time Over There, he was her confidante. However, since returning, events have put a strain on their relationship. They aren't as close as they were before.
K. Rosek: ::laughs nervously:: Damn, Lae. You don’t do anything by halves, do you? Rosek: ::chuckles:: Apparently not. ::pauses:: I assume you heard about my new charge. K. Rosek: ::nods:: Elina told me. Rosek: ::mutters:: I love her, but she can’t keep things to herself to save her life. K. Rosek: When? Rosek: ::pauses:: Probably after Luraul. I’m going to stay with Dad for a few days. ::Lael watched as her brother stiffened at the comment and she sighed. Kellan still hadn’t come to terms with the fact that their mother had lied to them. In fact, Lael hadn’t spoken personally to Adelynn since before the memorial in the Japanese tea gardens. She’d sent written communiques out of respect, even though she had none for the woman at this precise moment.:: K. Rosek: ::mutters:: I still don’t understand how you’re even talking to him. Rosek: ::sighs:: He’s our Dad, Kell. I’ve spent my whole life wondering...now I finally have a chance to know. After the mess...over there...if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s don’t let pride stop you from doing things you’ll only wish later that you had. K. Rosek: ::nods:: Just...give me some time. Rosek: ::smiles wanly:: Just don’t take too much...or you might miss your chance. Life is too short to live with regrets. K. Rosek: ::murmurs:: I’ll keep that in mind. ‘Night, Lae. Rosek: Good night, Kellan. “
