The fact Minthara would be acting a little odd socially in Drow society, being just attributed to the fact her mother - Sos'umptu, was by all the accounts that are written about her, a social hermit, feels fitting somehow.

The way no one questioned her eventual discconnect at pleasure parties or disassociative stare in the middle of the noble talk. The way she would silently grieve the people she thought she could love or be her friends, because she wanted that familial and friendly connections so badly and no one recognized it. Oh, it's just High Priestess Sos'umptu's daughter, this is to be expected.

#[ 🕷️ ] —— headcanons #[ 🕷️ ] —— musings #[ I've been haunted by the image of her killing a friend or family (or lover) and while on the surface its celebrated or #casually brushed aside like so many deaths are in menzobarranzan.
