In the lore for the First Ascent chest piece, we learn more about Ikora's love for detective pulp fiction from the Golden Age.
But this one goes further, stating she used to read these books to someone. Not just once, but repeatedly, and that someone was particularly close to Ikora, as they were sat close enough to get to have their hand atop hers as she read to them.
So, who do you think it is?
I have a few theories.
Cayde (least likely, because I think we will eventually meet or have already met this character and they are alive)
Eris Morn (there have been some hints they are close, but Bungie seem to be putting her with Drifter)
Shun Li (we know Ikora cared about him more than he was letting on in the Transmission Crisis, even letting him call her Korrie, which she disdained from any other person. But we haven't really heard any lore about Shun Li since).
Chalco Yong (we have had plenty of lore involving her and Ikora, but by Chalco's own admission, their relationship is more queerplatonic than romantic, and this lore implies something a bit more romantic, imo)
So, anyone else got any more ideas? Do you think we will find out?

As I read it, it sounded more like she was reading a story (for the thousandth time) to someone who couldn't read for themselves. I am not sure it necessarily reads like it was an admirer or lover, particularly for multiple readings of the same book. It could have been just reading the story to children, maybe even Amanda Holliday as she was orphaned.

I feel she does not have a very fleshed out character development out of the other two vanguard commanders. Cayde constantly was shown in many gameplay elements and was fleshed out enough with mystery behind his past to boot. Zavala was also explored enough with his pain and victories. Meanwhile for Ikora, her story seems to be only mostly mentioned behind lore tabs and abit of in game elements. Out of these three, she felt the most underwhelming. Almost as if she is a side character.
