My newest Tav: Ophelia TW: Kind of tragedy

This lovely character is Gortash's ex

yes you read that right

In my head canon, Gortash missed Durge so he ended up trying to be with someone else. Ophelia was a Rogue, a thief, a necromancer raising the dead for fun, she'd play gigs on the side at taverns with her lyre and pick the patrons pockets on her way out. Gortash thought she'd be perfect, wanting her necromancy skills on his side. But slowly grew to care for her. When he asked her to be his lover he presented her with that choker. She wore it with pride and accepted it happily because Gortash was one of the few people who didn't turn her away, the few people that didn't treat her with disgust for her necromancy. Gortash eventually broke up with her because she wasn't durge, he couldn't get over durge. Ophelia and him stayed friends and both still had feelings. And then when she was out on a mission to raise an undead for answers Gortash needed. She ended up taken by Mindflayers. Stop reading here if you are a Gortash fan and don't want to possibly cry.

The rest of my head canon is all act3

Ophelia arrives with the party in baldurs gate, Ophelia and Gortash pretend not to know eachother. Ophelia makes the deal with Gortash and lies to the party about betraying him later on. She knows she has to act fast to figure out how to save gortash from her own companions before the mindflayers are defeated.

When the party is asleep she goes to see him, hes angry at her for disappearing like that, he was worried sick but won't directly admit it. She explains what happened.

She then notices something wrong and inquires what happened to him. He informs her Durge is dead (killed by Orin, you can find Durge's body in the temple for those who dont know)

She doesn't know if to hug him or not until he grabs her arm looking up at her with sad eyes. Thats when she holds him tight trying to comfort him.

He finds out shes with Astarion now and that she became Astarion's spawn, hes hurt by the news. Tries to bargain with her, to rule together. Practically begging her without directly begging her.

She declines, expressing her love for Astarion, but informs Gortash she still loves him too. She reveals her party's plan to betray him. They scheme together to find a way to save him.

When he takes the (Can't remember what they are called. Stones? Gems?) he was attempting to help, Worried for her. When he dies she can't even cry, she can't even scream for him knowing it'd reveal to her party something she wasn't ready to. She has to go on fighting.

When everything is over and the party celebrates she sneaks away to look for Gortash's body, when she finds it she can't raise the corpse, it doesn't work, she can't say goodbye and she sobs over the corpse finally letting her grief out and thats how Astarion finds her.

She tells him everything and they bury the body together, keeping it all secret from the rest of the party as he takes her away to begin her life with him, to heal and rest and process everything together.

During the Epilogue Ophelia has healed from Gortash's death but still sometimes misses him. Withers brings Gortash from the dead to see her and she seperates from the party, none of them save Astarion know about it. She spends time with Gortash catching him up on everything in her life and he congratulates her wishing her well on her relationship with Astarion hoping he'll treat her the way Gortash wishes he had.

They reminisce on how different things may have gone if they hadn't broken up, how much more time they may have had. How their lives could have been if Ophelia never was taken by mindflayers. Ophelia finally gets all the closure she needed finally says goodbye.

Someone stop me and my headcanons please, I hurt myself with them Istg.
