Arc III: “The ice that slips through the cracks of Solaris"
Lady Daturai was first talked about by Crimson when the situation regarding Caaerus, the Alluring King started getting more dire, attacks from his followers becoming more common amongst the streets of Solaris. At the same time, a conspiracy of corruption within the royal guards was discovered by Commander Adeline. The Toad Gangs aid in fighting against groups of Purple Mages such as The Starlights led to them getting invited to a Sisterhood meeting.

Within it, they met different members of the faction, most importantly Avandra. She managed the meeting between the crown, the Dacorian academy, and the Duke’s College, thanking the Toad Gang personally for their efforts against Caaerus and setting up funds for extra protection within the city. After this, she personally spoke with Vladimir about his concerns, and watched the rest of the gang from the distance.

The next time they met her was in the Solaris Town Hall, where she introduced them to both her pupil Yussa and the governor of Solaris, Lady Adrie. Within this meeting, Avandra kept both Crimson and Yussa from going at each other’s throats, whilst also demonstrating she has a personal friendship with Vesper.

Crimson Boldrum
Crimson functions within the Sisterhood (alongside Yussa) as Daturai's second in command. They seem to have a close relationship of mutual respect and appreciation: Crimson speaks highly of her, introducing her as her mentor and the one who gave her the nickname of "Crimson". In return, Avandra seems to truly value Crimsons actions and worldview, forgiving her for her more dubious behaviors that others, such as Yussa, hold her accountable for.

Lastly, Avandra is one of the only people Crimson accepts teasing from without becoming defensive.

Yussa Engwyn
Not much is known about their relationship outside of that Yussa is said to be Avandra's pupil, starting to work under her at about the same time as Crimson. Daturai was also the one who gave her the title of "Azure", though Yussa doesn't appear to utilize it as much anymore, only a few members of the Sisterhood and her own pupil Satya Carlamin referring to her as so. Avandra is known to poke fun at Yussa in the same affectionate fashion as she does with Crimson.
