Romance[]

Blue Eyes, Lake's husband.

Blue Eyes was Lake's husband.

Lake and Blue Eyes were close; when they were children and played all the time; until Blue Eyes started wanting to be with boys his age and hunt.

In Revelations, Blue Eyes was mocked; by his traveling companions because of his cluelessness to Lake's attraction to him.

In War, Lake and Blue Eyes love each other, but are presumably not officially mated as Blue Eyes was seen sleeping in the same living space as his family (but there is no direct evidence given to prove this) after Blue Eyes's murder, Caesar asks Lake to watch over Cornelius. Caesar states that; "you loved my son, look after his brother", knowing this was what Blue Eyes would have wanted.

Family[]

Caesar, Lake's father-in-law, king and close friend.

Caesar was Lake's father-in-law, king and close friend.

Caesar had known Lake all her life; due to her friendship with Blue Eyes. Upon the advancement of her relationship with Blue Eyes, Caesar was seen as supportive of the relationship; making him her father-in-law.

Lake was incredibly loyal to Caesar and not just because of her love for Blue Eyes. She saw him as a powerful leader; who cared greatly for those in their colony.

When Cornelia and Blue Eyes are murdered by McCullough, Caesar asks Lake personally; to watch Cornelius for him while he's away. Initially, Lake questions him, but agrees to it; when Caesar states that; "you loved my son. Look after his brother".

Lake continues her loyalty towards Caesar; when he joins them in the slave labour camp. She tells him that he should forgive the coldness of the other apes, given what they have been through. She even manages to stop McCullough from killing Caesar by showing her willingness to work.

When Caesar dies from his wounds, Lake mourns for him.

After Caesar dies, it is assumed that Lake continues to care for Cornelius as a way of remembering and honouring him, it is also assumed that Lake will play a part in Cornelius' upbringing in honor of Caesar.

Enemies[]

Colonel McCullough[]

ColonelMcCullough1

McCullough, Lake's enemy and her husband's killer.

Lake, much like the other apes hated McCullough, but played it smart by working to avoid getting killed. She had every reason to hate McCullough more than anyone else given he was the reason Blue Eyes and Cornelia were dead.

Lake also (correctly) saw McCullough as nothing more than a delusional-psychopath.
