4
5	The family whose Erma belongs and maybe one of the most important ones, for obvious reasons, in the whole story. The Felnas are a family deeply entrenched in the internal working of the EDF, as their ancestors were the founding members of it.
6	!!Tropes associated with them:
7
8	* AllThereInTheManual: Many aspects of their personalities are explained with more detail in Gallacci's [=FurAffinity=]'s homepage rather than the comic, but some points could be considered outright revisions than explanations, partly due to the author's 2016 RetCon on many aspects of the story.
9	* TheBeautifulElite: Despite being rather old, even Kanoc, Chunti and Eda are good-looking in their own particular way, and that without mentioning their offspring.
10	* BigFancyHouse: While we don't see it entirely, it's heavily implied their house is really big, with a botanic garden included.
11	* BigScrewedUpFamily: The Felnas were ''already'' screwed up even before Erma was born (in fact, [[spoiler: she was born in a middle of a terrorist attack.]]) and later when Kanoc is captured and tortured by the ILR, but after Tavas Ikalik decided to make Erma suffer BIG TIME, the things are starting to [[FromBadToWorse get much uglier for them.]]
12	* BlueBlood: The Felnas were the founding members of both the EDF and the [=ConFed=] and many of their members were politicians or soldiers and their members are more or less treated like royalty, despite [[ModestRoyalty being more humble]] than other examples of this trope.
13	* CatFolk: According with WordOfGod, The Felnas are not based in any specific race, albeit some fans pointed out they look like between [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manx_cat the Manx cat]], a breed from the Isle of Man in the U.K., the Abyssinian cat and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Bobtail Japanese bobtail cat]].
14	* FamilyBusiness: Somewhat, but the Felnas are members from a very large family involved with the EDF military and the [=ConFed=]'s politics since decades.
15	* InexplicablyTailless: An aversion: Erma and her family only had a very small tail which is only visible when naked, compared with other Feline characters. Oddly enough, Alfon and Tavas, which both are also Felines like them, are also tailless despite being unrelated by blood with them.
16	* LeftHanging: Like many things that remain unexplained in ''Albedo'', and although we know many things about the Felna family's past, the only thing we don't know for sure is the fact why [[spoiler:Erma and her son Rojigo, and consequently her descendant Kala in ''ComicBook/AlbedoBirthright'', are the only people in the family who are [[PsychicPowers Talents]], while Erma's parents (Kanoc and Eda) and her younger brother (Tasak) have no powers of any kind, as far as we know]].
17	* NonIdleRich: Despite being aristocrats living in a BigFancyHouse and living better than the average family of the setting, that doesn't stop them, at least for Kanoc and his daughter Erma, to being members of the military by their own merits. In the case of Erma, that doesn't stop her to being able to kick ass.
18	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Despite being felines, all the Felnas doesn't have a tail, except a very small one when naked, and all the females have head hair. The only exception on this rule is [[spoiler:Kala Tanaia, Erma's direct descendant, from ''Birthright'']] who is the only member of the family without head hair and it also sports a tail.
19	** Another very egregious example of this is Erma's aunt Chunti, who appears in a single issue: While she looks physically like the other females Felnas, on the other hand, she looks and dress like a traditional [[UsefulNotes/{{India}} Indian woman]], complete with a ''bindi'', who really sticks like a sore thumb compared with the rest of her countrymen, who are basically alien furry Japanese.
20	* ALizardNamedLiz: Notable for being ''the only ones'' using this trope. Also overlaps with SpeciesSurname.
21	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: While they're technically aristocrats than royals, and with the sole exception of [[ActualPacifist Eda]], all the members of the family had some business with the armed forces or politics.
22	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Their final fate has never being fully explained to this date. The last time we saw them they were trying to surviving the aftermath of the ILR-induced armageddon on Dornthant, with Kanoc and Rojigo living in a refugee camp and Eda living with another family for the time being. On the other hand, Tasak's fate is barely explained, as it was implied he ended up insane after he figured out he helped Tavas to destroy his own family unwillingly, and it took years to reunite again with the rest of them, sans Erma. They don't appear in the DistantFinale either, and Gallacci's statements about their whereabouts are very contradictory]].
23	* {{Wutai}}: Judging by how Erma and her family are described in the story, The Felnas' homeworld of Dornthant is basically the alien version of UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}, including having similar traditions, sleeping in futons and having similar cultural quirks associated with the Japanese and their culture. This cultural fact is even referenced in-universe, in a way that it could sound borderline ''racist'' when addressed to a Japanese in RealLife.

40	Erma's younger brother. He holds a very deep grudge against her older sister for being the favorite of the family and after she joins the EDF, causing him to trying to join to the EDF.
41	----
42	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling - He is one for Erma [[spoiler: and ruined her life, unwillingly.]]
43	* [[spoiler:TheCorruptible]]
44	* DespairEventHorizon: Just like his elder sister, he crosses the line when he finds out [[spoiler:he's partly responsible of the destruction of his own family and almost obliterating his own homeland]].
45	* GreenEyedMonster: Being TheUnfavorite for everyone has really damaged his self-steem and he really wants to be along in the EDF with his sister. [[spoiler:Tavas uses this on his favor to get him in his side]]
46	* HoistByHisOwnPetard : [[spoiler:The only thing Tasak got when he joined forces with Tavas Ikalik was getting his whole family disintegrated, his homeworld destroyed, millions of his people killed and ending insane.]]
47	* InadequateInheritor: [[spoiler:The Net (and also the side-story ''Scenes From A Room'') blatantly state Tasak was originally intended to join the EDF instead of Erma, on the grounds he is male and his grades are even better than his older sister, just like his father and his previous predecessors. But the Net refused to allow him to join the EDF because his psychological profile shows him he's mentally unstable, and unfit to join the EDF, so the AI chose Erma instead, despite being female]].
48	* [[spoiler:MyGodWhatHaveIDone]]
49	* [[spoiler:MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: He betrays his family by siding with Tavas just to be able to be in the EDF after years of being ignored by his family by favoring Erma over him]].
50	* SiblingRivalry - Towards her older sister Erma, due to the fact she was the [[ParentalFavoritism favorite of the family]]. [[spoiler:It doesn't end well for either of them.]]
51	* ATragedyOfImpulsiveness: This is what happens to him during the Dornthant sub-arc due of his insistence of being a member of the EDF, as [[spoiler:he's indirectly responsable of every that happened during the ILR attack on Dornthant by accidentally providing information about his family to Tavas, his senior officer and Erma's former boyfriend, and using that information to destroy his family]].
52	* TheUnfavorite: To the grade even [[MasterComputer The Net]] doesn't want him to be a member of the EDF due of his mental state. [[spoiler:Tavas managed to hack The Net just to get him in the EDF anyways]].
53	* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:At the end of the things, he is nothing other than Tavas' tool for his ambitions]].
54	* [[spoiler:VillainousBreakdown - Despite he's not evil per se (just a misguided dude who wants to join the EDF at any cost) he suffers one when he finds out Tavas' real intentions after Dornthant was bombed by the ILR thanks to him and tries to kill Tavas with his own hands.]]

57	[[folder:Eda]]
58	!!Eda Felna (neé Kammati)
59	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/950a43cbf13820e5bee581f5d0067046.jpg
60	Erma's mother and Kanoc's wife. She's the only member of the Felna family not involved in the military or in politics, since she's a school professor and a writer instead. She was also oppossed with the respective military careers of her sons, due of her sad fate of her husband.
61	----
62	* ActualPacifist: Eda is the only member of the Felna family who doesn't participate, nor have any interest, in either politics or warfare. This is justified for two reasons: The first one is the fact how the war traumatized her husband Kanoc and having to being the face of the family in his place and the second one is she is not a member of the Felnas in first place, meaning she has her own different ideas, as [[IJustWantToBeNormal she wants to be a normal housewife along her sons and husband]].
63	* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: We don't know anything about her after the ILR almost wiped out Dornthant, but in the final epilogue, it's mentioned she's survived and reunited with her husband and her grandson Rojigo, but she never managed to reunite with Erma again.]]
64	* FurryFemaleMane: A very long, raven-haired one.
65	* HiddenDepths: According with WordOfGod recently, Eda was a former model when she was attending college, hence why she still looks so good at her age.
66	* [[NonActionGuy Non Action Girl]]
67	* ParentsAsPeople: While not as bad as her husband Kanoc, she also made many mistakes since the childhood of her sons, and being unable to do anything for prevent her youngest son Tasak to join the EDF, due of the way he was treated since childhood, to the grade [[spoiler:it also caused the downfall of her family]].
68	* ProperLady: Even more than her daughter.
69	* [[spoiler:SecretIdentity: She, Kanoc and Rojigo went into hiding using fake [=IDs=] from Tavas and his goons after the bombing.]]
70	* StrongFamilyResemblance: She's is practically an older Erma with darker and longer hair, to the grade they share the same ''body frame'' by WordOfGod, albeit her fur is darker than Erma's one, according with some recent color pin-ups of her.
71	* SilkHidingSteel: Taking into account she hails from basically the alien version of Japan, she has the vibe of this. She even sits in [[SeizaSquirm seiza pose]] while drinking tea, Japanese-style.
72	* TeenPregnancy: She's still being a good-looking woman despite her age, it does help she conceived Erma in her teens.

77	https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/c610182bdd8bffcf4038d5c5326d793a.jpg
78	Erma's father and former member of the EDF, who was discharged after being tortured by the ILR, causing Erma to join the EDF and avenging him.
79	----
80	* AuthorAvatar: Design-wise, he looks a lot like a feline version of his author Steven Gallacci, especially in his most recent pinups due to ArtEvolution, albeit a bit younger and slimmer.
81	%% There is no specific button, and doesn't explain what the reaction is. * BerserkButton: Anything related with the army can really put him in the edge of his already fragile sanity, [[ShellshockedVeteran for very obvious reasons]].
82	* CallToAgriculture: Albeit '''not''' by his own choice, but he seems to enjoy it anyways.
83	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: ''Courtesy'' of the ILR, and it's not very pretty to see when he suffers one of his outbursts.
84	* DadsOffFightingInTheWar: Downplayed: He did left his family behind when he participated in the First Lepine War along with Joseph Arrat and Alliusiz, but he returned when ended up mentally crippled by the ILR. Ironically enough, Erma inverts this on her own family, out of necessity.
85	* DadTheVeteran: He was discharged due to the torture received by the ILR army and he isn't able to serve in the EDF anymore.
86	* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath: He survived along his grandson and wife to the ILR planetary bombing, but he never managed to reunite with Erma again.]]
87	* EnhancedInterrogationTechniques: He was tortured by the ILR using both chemical and electric means.
88	* HeroOfAnotherStory: He is planned to appear in ''TabletopGame/AlbedoCombatPatrol164'', as the game takes place during the First Lepine War, the war when he participated in.
89	* IHaveNoSon: Kanoc disowns his son Tasak after he told him he's going to enrole on the EDF against his family wishes, thanks to [[spoiler:Tavas]].
90	* ThePatriarch: Subverted. Due to his actual mental state, that job goes for his wife Eda instead, much for her chagrin.
91	* ParentsAsPeople: He is a very nice person, but even before the incident when he was tortured by the ILR, it's more than obvious Kanoc is ''terrible'' as a parent, since he preferred his daughter Erma more than his son Tasak for some bizarre reason. And most of his decisions he took for protect Tasak only to prevent him end up like his father ends backfiring against Kanoc [[spoiler:and the rest of the family as well]], due of the way how he raised him, causing Tasak to [[spoiler:side with Tavas just to be able to join the army]].
92	* [[spoiler:SecretIdentity: He, Eda and Rojigo went into hiding using fake [=IDs=] from Tavas and his goons after the bombing.]]
93	* ShellshockedVeteran
94	* TheStoic: According with Erma during one of her nightmares, Kanoc was as stoic as Erma is when he was young but he mellowed out of this thanks of Joseph Arrat, Itzak's father.
95	* StrongFamilyResemblance: A minor case, as the only things Erma resembles of him are his fur (they both share the same color scheme), his military career, his former stoicism, and both being [[WarriorPoet poets in uniform]].

109	* [[spoiler:CuteKitten]]
110	* DeadGuyJunior: In-universe, he's named after [[spoiler:her mother Erma's maternal grandfather]].
111	* [[spoiler:DisneyDeath - He survived along his grandfather to the ILR planetary bombing, but he never managed to reunite with his mother ever again.]]
112	* [[spoiler:ParentalAbandonment: His father Alfon is now dead, and his mother was exiled from her homeworld, possibly for good]].
113	* TheQuietOne: While this is quite understandable at first because he was a [[spoiler:baby]] at first, even as a [[spoiler:grown-up and being able to talk]], he doesn't speak too much compared with the rest of his family or even [[spoiler:compared with his mother Erma]].
114	* HiddenDepths: It's heavily implied that [[spoiler:he's also a Talent like her mother, or at least he's somewhat sensible to her psychic powers]].
115	* [[spoiler:RaisedByGrandparents: Due of the ILR attack to his homeworld, the death of Alfon and Erma's retaliative pursue against the ILR.]]
116	* [[spoiler:SecretIdentity: He and his grandfathers went into hiding using fake [=IDs=] from Tavas and his goons after the bombing.]]
117	* SignificantAnagram: His name is a bad anagram of [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Gojira.]] Even Toki [[LampshadeHanging lampshades that]] during a mild moment of LeaningOnTheFourthWall.
