Illyria, in my personal fanon:
1. She would have saved Wesley's life, at the end; she considers it a great irony that the reason she couldn't was that he had removed so much of her power.
2. She came to be fond of him and his friends -- as fond as she was capable of being, at least.
3. But she never forgave them for stealing her power, and she never reconciled herself to their absence. Not really. It was, she imagined, what constant low-level pain would feel like, if she admitted to herself that she could feel pain.
