Olineaux Family

Duke Zoe Fun Lynx Olineaux

Chinese Name: Zuoyi Olineaux (Chinese transliteration of Zoe)

Affiliation: Olineaux Family

Species: Human

Preferred Subjects: Trivia, Entertainment

Preferred Style: Lovely, Cool

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Element: Earth

Political Stance: Dissident

Head of the Olineaux family, known as the most easygoing of the four dukes. He was raised to be a knight, but since at least one of the four families' heads should be a soldier, he had no choice but to change his job.

---

• Amazon Chaser: Zoe fell in love with his future wife Christie when she won a hunting competition as a young female knight.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Despite being the most easygoing among the four dukes, he is not so above using Magda as an informer.
• Coat Cape: He wears his coat on his shoulders.
• Family Man: Unlike the other Heads, Zoe doesn’t have much ambition or goal to strive for, instead concentrating on providing a happy life for Christie and his children.
• Happily Married: It's noted that he and Christie make a devoted couple, unusual for the nobility. Eliza thinks the reason why they can keep such a good relationship is that Duke Olineaux is not a very ambitious person.
• Intergenerational Friendship: He can make one with Magda, joke with her and tease her about her attempts to gain favor with the nobility.
• Parents in Distress: Is abducted late in the main story as part of Duke Bavlenka's plot, prompting his wife, niece and children to ally with Magda to defeat Bavlenka and rescue him.
• Wine Is Classy: He likes good wine and sees them as "treasure".

Alignment: Neutral Good

Element: Water

Political Stance: Conservatism

Zoe's wife. A gentle and peaceful woman, she prefers to avoid getting involved in politics. She's most worried about the marriage of her children. Her overall demeanor makes it easy to forget that she's a retired knight. When her husband gets kidnapped, she takes up the role of the family head and becomes a much more stricter person.

---

• Braids of Action: Wears a braid with her knight outfit.
• Happily Married: She and Zoe are still very much in love even after years of marriage and their children growing into adults.
• Lady of War: When the situation in Finsel becomes chaotic late in the main storyline, Christie dons her sword and armour and takes command of the Olineaux guards, never losing her ladylike poise.
• Silk Hiding Steel: For all her mild manner, Christie is said to be the ruling voice of the Olineaux household. In fact, she was a knight prior to her marriage, though Magda finds it hard to imagine until she actually sees Christie in action.

Balfey Olineaux

Heir to the Olineaux duchy, known as the "liquor lover" among nobles since he likes to drink, eat, and be merry, attending all kinds of dinner parties. As the Duke's eldest son, he would normally lead the Amber Knights, but has ceded that position to his younger brother Hugh.

• Big Eater: Downplayed; he's the most rotund named character in the game, but his eating habits aren't brought up as often as his business dealings.
• Casanova Wannabe: He admires Juven and frequently hits on beautiful women including Magda, though his advances are never successful.
• Heroic Bastard: There are unconfirmed rumors of him being an illegitimate son of the Duke.
