Due to her Magic, The First Lapis Lazuline was aware that Ranyi lacked magical potential and that she had flaws in her mental strength. In order to give her a chance of experiencing great growth, The First purposefully guided her in a certain way so her magic would be able to break through it's limits. The First even went as far as cutting off contact with Ranyi once Snow White arrived at Umemizaki in order to accomplish this.
Unfortunately, The First Lapis Lazuline's magic also caused her to be aware of Ranyi's inevitable passing. The First's plan ultimately worked, and Ranyi's magic was able to break through and connect to her, allowing The First to gain access to the school. As she was dying, The First holds Ranyi's hand and tells her that she was the best apprentice she could have, leading Ranyi to pass on with a smile on her face.

Old Blue's Grandchild[]
Musician Of The Forest, Cranberry[]
The past relationship they had is unknown, but it seems negative, as the First wanted to avoid any interaction with the Archfiend Cram School due to their past association with Cranberry. She was also in a Cranberry selection test, which most likely fuels The First's want to avoid the school.
Kashiki-akarukushi-hime[]
Snow White[]
Although The First's exact opinion on Snow White is unknown, she makes the conscious decision to avoid confrontation with her, having the Third Lapis Lazuline seal away Princess Lightning's memories and even altering their plans.
Ripple[]
Old Blue has taken advantage of Ripple on multiple occasions. In ACES, she was perfectly fine with Frederica playing mind games with her, although she was disgusted with Frederica's cruelty, as long as she completed her goal of assassinating Premium Sachiko. In QUEENS, Old Blue took Ripple in after Frederica's brainwashing came undone. In White, Old Blue continues manipulating and using Ripple to fulfill her own wants and needs. After tasking Love Lulu with looking after Ripple, Old Blue recruits her into helping her assassinate Pythie.
Juube[]
Their exact history is currently unknown, however Juube regards The First Lapis Lazuline as a cranky old woman.
