gemma has huge issues with her father. after her mother died, her father became addicted to laudanum and subsequently distant from the world and his family. near christmas he was weaned off laudanum, but he then tricked gemma into giving him his entire stash. her brother, thomas, was so upset because he was a doctor and prescribed the drink to her father to help with his grief. so after he cleaned up off laudanum, he became addicted to pure opium and spent days on end in opium dens. gemma had to drag him out of one with her own two hands. after this, she made the nearly fatal mistake of using her magic to try to heal him. he nearly died from the experience, and was driven temporarily insane because her magic allowed dark spirits to enter his mind.
he was sent to a sanitarium and fell into a depression that made him easily forget where he was and zone out. he started to call gemma "virginia," her mother's name. finally, he was shipped back to india "for his health," and gemma knew he'd die there. but she still loves him, and always hoped that he would recover on his own.
scathach definitely has issues with her dad as well. she ran into a full-scale riot just so she could get a closer look at him. she had always heard awful stories about him. they were all true. he was the warden of the danu talis (atlantis) prison, and was super good at that job. she says she doesn't remember much about him, which is probably true seeing as he disowned her when she was just a kid. but she also just doesn't like to think about how much of an awful person he is. nicholas flamel became something of a father figure to her, and his wife perenelle a mother. she loves them more than any humani ever (except maybe cu chulainn).
rikku actually likes her dad. her dad taught her everything she knows about machina and spira, and even though they had their falling out in x-2, they made up and are cool with one another again. he might not have done a stunning job of raising her after her mother died, but the al bhed function like a tribe so one child was everyone's child.
molly loves her dad and is probably a daddy's girl.
