As always when I respond to Ikumi asking such good questions: I had to yap.

#LadiesOfLightLore

- Mirita never knew her biological mother, but has seen Echo-visions of her. She loves her deeply despite not having had the chance to meet her, especially after learning that her mother worked so hard to get Mirita to safety at the cost of her own life. However, Euphemia is very much a doting and caring mother to her (though it took a lot of post-Endwalker to build that up), and they get along wonderfully. - Khorijin and Gorbeljin get along wonderfully, though at first glance it doesn't seem so due to their shared "stoneface" making it seem like their relationship is very stiff from the outside. They relate to each other very well and can have entire conversations with just the barest facial expressions and the occasional word or noise. Her relationship with Euphemia is by contrast a little more distant, though by Dawntrail Khorijin acknowledges her as a second mother in her quiet way. - Rija has a good relationship with her mother, though they do have a few things to address mostly in terms of what we would call "parentification" mostly because Rija had more than a few occasions where she had to help raise her younger sisters and sibling and it played into a few complexes she had about being the mom friend as an adult. Part of that process is Rija gradually accepting Euphemia as a second mother too, which is a bit easier than it is for Khorijin and Khoride mostly because of how gently Euphemia approaches motherhood.- After learning about Khoride, Gorbeljin and Khoride gradually come to terms with their relationship, though Gorbeljin is rather startled to learn that she has two additional younger children (Khoride and Ystride). For her part, Khoride has inherited Khorijin's care and respect for Gorbeljin. Euphemia and Khoride have an equally slow build up as Euphemia and Khorijin, but eventually it comes to fruition. - Ystride and Gorbeljin take a little time to become comfortable with each other; though Ystride holds Gorbeljin in high regard due to her inherited memories of Gorbeljin, one of Ystride's biggest fears is that they're not "Borlaaqi" enough for Gorbeljin to connect with her (which really isn't the case, but Ystride's own shyness and insecurities make it a little harder for her to read Gorbeljin the way Khorijin and Khoride do). Similarly to Mirita, though, her relationship with Euphemia is pretty good, and next to Mirita she's the closest to Euphemia of the five Ladies who consider Euphemia a second mother. - Euphemia herself had a fairly good relationship with Sophia, though she unfortunately didn't get to come to her majority while Sophia was still alive. She has a complicated relationship with Venat, who was essentially her second mother in the same way that Euphemia is Mirita, Khorijin, Khoride, Rija, and Ystride's second mother; she loved Venat dearly but couldn't accept either Venat's answer to the Final Days nor the Convocation's, and left Venat on somewhat bittersweet terms. - Helena and Vesna get along fine; while Vesna spent a lot of time on queenly responsibilities and the like growing up, Helena learned how to use a gunblade directly *from* her mother, and they spent a lot of time with each other both related to those duties and not; while Helena's decision to become a member of the nascent Bozjan resistance immediately after the Bozja Incident did cause a little tension, they did *eventually* talk about it. - Zardaar's relationship with Altalaa was wonderful; she supported Zardaar coming out to her and helped ensure her transition, alongside Zardaar's father Zalhaam. However, the stresses of the events of Warlords of Draenor as well as the following years caused Altalaa to become more and more sympathetic to the Lightbound, which sours her relationship with Zardaar well before Zardaar's self-appointed mission to stop the Lightbound from chasing the Mag'har to Azeroth. Zardaar tries not to talk about or think about her mother in the present day.

Everyone that isn't Euphemia answers with the truth, because Euphemia telling the strict truth sounds like a lie.

The in-universe ages of the Ladies as of this post & patch 7.5 are below. Characters without a * will have their ages bumped by a year by the time Evercold starts.

#LadiesOfLightLore

Mirita: 33* (June 11) Khorijin, Khoride: 34* (April 15) Rija: 38 (December 26) Ystride: 32 (October 14) Helena: 44* (June 28) Euphemia: 39 (physically), 37,414 (chronologically, resuming the count from her age of 37,412 when sundered) (December 13) Zardaar: 37 (December 22)

Assuming we weren't limited to only places where there are aetherytes: Khorijin would've started in the Steppe, Rija in Golmore, and Helena in Bozja, as those are their respective homelands.

Khoride, Ystride, Euphemia, and Zardaar: N/A.
