San is, and always will be, her daughter. Human of body, but wolf of heart. Moro loves her daughter unconditionally, and any deviation in her teachings will be met with sorrow, not disappointment or disapproval. San, like Moro, has grown to be fond and comfortable with the humans in Luceti, even if San is still much more likely to trust a human than Moro ever will be. This doesn't change how Moro thinks or feels about San, however, and their bond as mother and daughter remains steadfast, even as San begins to "leave the nest". San has left Luceti, and returned home... a bittersweet relief, as she is home and safe... but Moro will never see her again.

Ginko
Though he is gone, Ginko was perhaps one of the most important humans that Moro ever got to know. His ties to the spiritual world reminded Moro of a time before humans distanced themselves from nature, when they chose instead to take advantage of it. Ginko was one of few that would speak of how humans act in a way that Moro not only understood, but tended to agree with. Though Ginko himself knew of the folly of man, he also knew what good could come of them, and over time, slowly introduced the concept to Moro.
Her willingness to tolerate and understand humans arguably came solely from this man. This man, who understood who and what Moro was better than any other human in Luceti. Because she did not need to teach him of gods, he was able to teach her.
Sigh, this guy. He was very excitable and full of energy, and while Moro did find that rather irritating, his eagerness and willingness to work with her was strange enough to pique her curiosity. He was so unlike any other human she knew that she had a difficult time associating him with humans in general, and so she was willing to teach him how to behave like a wolf. She tutored him on how to behave as an Alpha to his crew members, his "pack". She did have a bizarre fondness of him, though she would have never dared to voice that strange trust she had. He was just so darn straightforward and naive that it's difficult to believe he could have ulterior motives. In that regard, he thought much like an animal, which made it easier for Moro to come to know him.
Few beings are as pure and divine as a kirin. Moro held a great respect for such a grand and powerful spirit. Enki, though being more gentle in his methods, understood Moro because he knows the ways of spirits more than any other.
There are few who can truly sympathize with Moro's past experiences, and understand the foulness and greed of humans. Moro was fairly fond of his company for a while, though there came a time where she felt as though even he was becoming selfish and aimless in the means he was handling humanity.
Moro hated him, with true murderous intent, for the longest while. It took her longer than usual, since he was covered with the gunpowder scent, to realize that Vash is just a bumbling idiot that wouldn't hurt anyone. To the very end, she snarled and squabbled about his pacifism in a dangerous situation. In the end, she protected him in that moment she could.
A spirit of death and nothingness - an important incarna of life. Just as life should be treasured, so too should death be respected and understood. Moro had never feared death, understanding that it means the life of others in the world, but only in Luceti had she come to know and love it as a fellow god. This view is something Ryoji tries fairly hard to ignore.
This child was the first of many in a long time to truly treat Moro with understanding. He too lived in a world where gods ("legendaries") roamed and reigned, which gave him the opportunity to interact with Moro on a very different level than most. She noticed this and took him under wing, teaching him how to kill and how to respect the cycle of life and death. At every turn in casual conversation, Silver challenged her view of the world. Even if she never faltered from her absolute truths, she gradually gained respect for this boy that had the courage to challenge her in such a way. In time, she grew fairly fond of him, viewing him as a pup of her pack: an honor unmentioned but certainly implied to him. In her final moments, she was proud to see him fight, and relieved to know that when she lost herself, he would be sure to kill her.
Holy crap it's a dragon. Not quite the kind she would know the imagery of, but still an entity worth respect. Moro is still not quite sure whether to handle him as an equal, a superior, or as something beneath her and therefore worth protecting. It's a bit confusing.
They had very disjointed and incomplete conversations. But by the end, Moro became comfortable with him. She had once held doubts over his ability to fulfill his role, bitter towards his pacifism just as she was bitter towards Vash's pacifism. But she realized, in time, that his role did not require a firm hand and fierce fangs. His role was to act as the bridge, the one that could communicate with both worlds. And his peaceful inclinations did not prevent him from doing as he must, earning respect from Moro that he will likely never know about.
