Orane is Kasha's official mistress. She has legal status, although not as much as a wife. Their body language is very familiar, and a casual observer might mistake them for being relations. Although her role is to provide sex and companionship, they have never had sex and don't relate to each other as lovers. When in public, they usually walk arm-in-arm.
