#Shirley Whiteclaw

[thetavolution]

SHIRLEY

Full name:  Shirley Whiteclaw Evenwood Name meaning:  Shirley: bright clearing; Whiteclaw: self-explanatory  Pronouns: She/Her  Race: Half-Orc Age: 38  Orientation: Bisexual Romance: Undecided  Class: Fighter Subclass: Champion Origin: Soldier  Theme Song: Sweetest Devotion - Adele / I Lived - OneRepublic / You Said You’d Grow Old With Me - Michael Schulte 

Personality Shirley is a single mom with two kids at home and she always puts them first. Her main focus is taking care of her family and working as a sword for hire puts food on the table. She’s a sweet gal, even if her day job involves a lot of killing. She’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, but she’s cheery, friendly, and outgoing. She’s not book smart, but she has emotional intelligence. She’s also a very even-tempered person.

She’s talkative and the kind of person who’ll strike up a conversation with a total stranger like they’re old friends. Being a little dimwitted, she can be taken advantage of. She’s far too trusting for her own good. She is self-aware she’s not the smartest person in the room. 

People often look at her and think, “There’s nothing going on behind those eyes.” She’s basically a Labrador Retriever as a half-orc. 

Background Shirley is the product of an arranged marriage that was created to form an alliance between an orc tribe and the human village of Northwick. Her father relocated to the human village as part of the alliance since Shirley’s mother didn’t want to leave her hometown.

Fortunately, her parents did get along even if it was a loveless marriage. They were able to come together as friends to give their daughter a good life. It gave Shirley an unusual advantage compared to many other half-orcs. Her parents may not have been in love, but they did love her. She was raised in her mother’s village among humans. While she struggled to find acceptance, her good nature helped her worm her way into the hearts of the townspeople. She slowly got people to tolerate her and even won over some genuine friends. 

Her father trained her to be a fighter and she became set on protecting Northwick. She worked as a guard and this helped earn her respect among some of the higher ranking villagers. She even met and married a human paladin, Kayne Evenwood. They would have three children together, Galvyn and Bilga. Sadly, not long after Bilga’s birth, Kayne drowned when he was caught in a current while trying to save a small child who slipped into the river. He was able to save the boy, but lost his life in the process.

Alone, she took jobs as a sword for hire to take care of her children. When a tadpole got lodged in her brain, she had to set out to save herself and her children. While away, the kids stay with their grandparents.

Likes: Her children, her late husband, giving her kids a better life, children (in general), animals especially dogs, giving to charity, volunteering, social events, talking with people, early mornings, and romance novels

Dislikes: Anything that could harm her family, being away from home, criminals, bullies, people judging her based on being a half-orc, loneliness, bugs, hurting people who don’t deserve it, math, 

Fears: She’s afraid of anything happening to her children. Outside of her children, she’s terrified that she won’t be able to protect her village or that peace between the humans and nearby orcs will be compromised. She hates to admit she fears dying alone, too. She doesn’t feel like she should want love again, but she does. On a lighter note, she’s really scared of talking to a room full of people. She hates it.

Quirks: She talks pretty loudly, even when trying to whisper. There’s a running joke amongst her friends that she just CANNOT whisper even in a life or death situation. 

Mental Health: She’s still grieving her husband while trying to focus on her children.

Favorite Food: Minted Pea Soup, Rabbit Stew, Wayfarers’ Cake, and Toasted Cockatrice Gizzards on Rye

Favorite Drink: Moon Mountain Ale, Mint Tea, and Apricot Cider

Favorite Flower: Summer Lillies and Peonies (Peonies was the first flower Kayne ever gave her)

Height: 6’2”

Skin: Sage Tone 5

Hair:  Red Black with Gray

Eyes:  Brown 1

Color Scheme:  She wears a lot of browns, silvers, and blues. She doesn’t really pick her armor based on color, but durability and strength. She never thinks to get things dyed or colored. When not in armor, she leans toward shades of green and blue.

Fashion Sense: She’s a simple woman with a simple wardrobe. It’s all about durability for her. As a woman with two kids, she doesn’t dress up fancy. (Bilga is just going to spit up on it.) She does like to wear nice things from time to time though. In those cases, she keeps it simple and elegant.

Family: 

Nybarg Whiteclaw — He’s Shirley’s orc father. He was offered to the humans for the marriage contract simply because he didn’t really fit in with the other orcs. While he’s not cuddly and sweet, he is agreeable. He doesn’t actually like to turn to violence in most cases and prefers to just let people live and let live. He loves his daughter and grandchildren with every part of his being.

Enid Whiteclaw — She’s Shirley’s human mother. She’s a strong-willed and kind woman. She quickly earned her husband’s respect shortly after meeting each other, mostly because she’s an assertive person. She’s a bit pig-headed and she was definitely the head of the household. She loves her daughter and grandchildren more than anything. Enid and Nybarg are not in love, but grew to love one another as friends.

Kayne Whiteclaw Evenwood — He’s Shirley’s late husband. He was a human and a paladin who swore to the Oath of the Ancients. He fell in love with Shirley’s big heart. He was honorable, brave, and kind.

Galvyn Whiteclaw Evenwood — They’re Shirley’s 5-year-old kid. 

Bilga Whiteclaw Evenwood — She’s Shirley’s 1-year-old daughter.

I slightly ignored how DnD does half-orc aging. I’m treating her more like she just ages the same as a human instead. If you don’t like it, you can fight me. But don’t actually because I can’t fight.

Hello!

This is my little fandom side blog.

I might talk about other fandom stuff, but I've been consumed with BG3 as of late.

Here are my OCs!

Baldur's Gate 3

Paloma Silkflower (she/her) is a Seldarine Drow Monk. Profile here.

Lamia Ambler (she/her) is the Dark Urge. She's a Changeling Rogue Bard (disguised as a half-drow). Profile here.

Vaira of Crèche Ryl'lath (she/her) is a Githyanki Paladin (Oath of Devotion). Profile here.

Minty Lam (she/her) is a Shield Dwarf Cleric. Profile here.

Laura Bates (she/her) is a High Elf Sorcerer. Profile here.

Ingrid Sullenberger (she/her) is a Deep Gnome Druid (Circle of the Spores). Profile here.

Sebastian Sullenberger (he/him) is half-deep gnome and half-forest gnome wizard or artificer. Patch 7 might dictate which one he is. He's also Ingrid's half-brother. Profile here.

Rebecca "Bex" McQuoid (she/her) is a Mephistopheles Tiefling Bard. Profile here.

Theresa "Tessa" Chastain (she/her) is a human rogue monk. Profile here.

Viktor Hamlin (he/him) is a Asmodeus Tiefling Paladin (Oath of Vengeance). Profile here.

Still thinking about the post about single parent Tavs.

While thinking about giving Paloma kids from a previous relationship, I remembered my DnD half-orc, Shirley Whiteclaw. She's a single mom that I've played a few times in DnD! I can't believe she didn't spring to mind immediately.

These two would have plenty to bond over if they ever met. Shirley is a widow while the father of Paloma's children simply dipped on them.

Shirley has two kids, Galvyn (5) and Bilga (1) . Her husband only recently passed away. When she's out working or being a sword for hire, the kids stay with Shirley's parents or her late husband's parents.

Paloma's kids would be a little older: Orianna (12), Lucan (10), and Meriele (9). Paloma would have to rely on several babysitters, but she'd probably have one older woman she goes to often. In a pinch, she might even ask Lamia.

Shirley is for sure a mom. I'm still toying with Paloma. But let's be honest, Halsin and Astarion playing step-dad to three kids is adorable. Halsin would love it while Astarion would have to get used to it.

And Halsin teaching Astarion how to do things would be cute.
