'''Steris Harms''' is the daughter of Lord [[Jackstom Harms]] and the half-sister of [[Marasi Colms]], as well as the fiancee and eventual wife of High Lord [[Waxillium Ladrian]]. Steris often states that she does not fit in well with other people, and she makes up for this by relentlessly memorizing social norms and relevant facts about [[Scadrian]] society and by creating exhaustive lists of contingencies for any and every possible occasion. This led to being appointed as the Disaster Preparations Officer by the governor. She is autistic.{{wob ref|6841}}{{wob ref|11122}}

Steris and Wax had two children together, Maxillium and TindwilTindwyl Ladrian. Before the discovery of the Set's plan to destroy Elendel, she and Wax were considering trying for a third child, but Wax had reservations about not wanting the two of them to be "outnumbered".{{expand}}

Wayne is the only person to whom Steris does not speak formally, often calling him an idiot. Wayne also does not treat Steris nicely, to the point that Wax asks him to stop. After several years of this banter, Steris and Wayne begin to accept each other, each realizing the talents of the other.{{expand}}{{cite}}

Marasi is Steris's illegitimate half sister by Lord Harms. They are not particularly close, with Steris not knowing about Marasi at all until she was a teenager. Their relationship is mostly formal, but they still share occasional sincere moments.{{citebook ref|mb4|9}}{{book ref|mb6|6}}{{book ref|mb6|24}}
