Would there be any possibility of converting Lin from being just Obedient and Loyal to allowing for her to be Affectionate and In Love, whether as a replacement or an addition (which storywise perhaps could involve her falling in love as the main character supports her quest for elven freedom and equality)? There already has been talk about how a half-elf offspring would be treated given current circumstances, and thus Lin's willingness to consider having a more romantic relationship with the main character might open up as having a future together with children becomes more acceptable.
