6.) What is your Tav's origin story?

This I what I wrote so far for my tav. If u have any suggestions writing my tav plz let me know ☺️

- She grew up in the wilds of Faerûn with her mother and and 5 siblings (1 brother and 4 Sisters) and is the youngest in the family

- The members of her family are as followed: Gweneth is her mother, her father was named Mirran, Quiinn in the eldest brother, Janethwen the eldest sister, then Lorathana, then Eilxina, the Faewen

- Her family is poor and make a living by selling herb and ingredients for alchemy

- Her father died when she was young. After his death, her mother tells her stories about him like what he was like, what adventures he went on and how they met to cope with the loss

- When she was an "adolescent," she met a man named Zephy Nascient (went by the alias Gemini), a high elf thief who convinced her to in a life of crime (even though she's an outlander lol) and obviously said yes because she like to create mischief and chaos but also she thought that she could provide for her family

- Since her family might not approve of this (particularly her mother and 3 of her sisters) she kept it a secret

- They were as thick as thieves, they did everything together, steal stuff, did heists, and spent a lot of time together

- After spending time with Gemini, she immediately feel head over heals for him

- After she discovered he had feeling for they immediately started courting each other and got very intimate with each other

- After a while, the even started their own guild and partnered with people in the black market in Baulders Gate it evolved into a successful crime empire (most people in Baulders Gates have heard of it but never brilved it was real because they only have heard rumors)

- After a while though, his true colors began to show. He was a selfish person to begin with a and his narcissistic personality began to show. He was mentally abusive, possessive, manipulative, and told her she was nothing without him (aka narcissistic abuse)

- she had to endure his mental abuse and had to deal with his delusional rants but was in denial be cause he said that he loves her

- When she had enough of it, she framed him for a theft (that was considered to be quite valuable) and he was found guilty, but he was able to escape with a sense of revenge

- When she can to her home to visit her family, she found that her home and most her family was killed by a fire (which was caused by Gemini). Her eldest brother and one of her sisters, Faewen survived though.

- When she found this out she was devistaed and broke down in front of her remain family members

- - She told Quiinn Eilxina and Faewen her double lfe and how she was doing it for her family's survival. Quiinn didn't approve of this at first but accepted the fact that she told the truth. Faewen was kind of th same but quickly forgot that because her baby sister was in pain and has been dealing with a lot. Eilxina however scold her for lying an never approved of this... She abandoned her sister and and her remaining family...

- After that she started thieving on her own to support herself and her remaining family

- she became depressed and started to feel useless to the point she has injured herself a few times herself... (not going into it cause I don't want to trigger anyone) because she couldn't protect her family and couldn't stop the man she called her lover.....

- after that she started drinking and became a s*x addict so she could "feel something"

- When she reacted her adulthood, she created a new group in Baulders Gate that consisted of a female tiefling named Nerissa, a young human male named Sparrow, a middle aged man name Svfen, a male drow named Tazenghar Kilval, and a female halfling name Jemma Mae.

- - after she reacted adulthood ( in elven standards) she though about what she went though and decided to fix herself. after that she learned how to cope with what she had to deal with and started to better herself mentally (though she still has habits of drinking and s*x) She started talking about her feelings more to her remaining family and her crew sometimes (the ones she trusts lol)

- She still has problems of self worth and confidence sometimes, but she has people that care about her and want her to be safe

7.) What was the most significant moment in your Tav's origin story?

I think it's her realizing that the way she coped with her before her adulthood (which is 100 in elf year I think 😅) was not healthy and made her worse.

When they met, they were at each other's throats (figuratively and literally). After they got to know each other, they realized that they have a somethings things in common. When Rosanna realized that there was more to Astarion than is looks, charm, and questionable morals (bascllay when she discovered that he was a massive dork lol) she started to fall in love with the vampire. His looks were an added bonus lol. When Astarion started to devele feeling for Rosanna (my headcanon is that he started to fall in love with her in that first romance scene without realizing it lol) oh boy he was terrified to the point where he was in denial (image him being a tsudere lol that would fit his character so much lmfao!!!!)

After defeating cazador, he realizes "yep she's the one" lol.
