HERE IS what is one of the many painful things for me and Minthara. The fact that she is the one who fills the roll of 'pushed out' when it comes to the group or friend circle. Let me explain that. She consistently proves how she does care for others in the group, she does not approve of giving up Shadowheart and actively supports her independence, she is protective of Astarion and hopes for his freedom, true freedom, she respects Lae'zel, she respects Gale and advises him against self-deprivation in Mystra's name, stands by Minsc, respects Jaheira, and when each is put in danger by Orin she is usually INTENT on getting them back safely.
But when it's time to step up for Minthara? There is hardly any care given, and it is even met with reluctance in some companions (save for Karlach and .. one other?? maybe two other?? companions??)
She also notes how there have been 'other' reunions that had occurred since the end of the game which she was not invited, and is actually visibly miffed about it. She notes already how no one will acknowledge that a DROW saved the world, and notes how that detail will surely be dismissed.
Don't forget, it's canonical that she wishes for your companion group to be her found family after losing her home, and just to have this be something that is how she is MET... oof.
