#a lot of these things also do apply to pre-lobotomy daedra as well

@majorasnightmare Yippee! I love having perfect excuses to share some Daedra lore!

If anybody else would like to join in: @arach-tinilith (I know you did one for Naadja, but maybe Zafyna?) @alicelufenia, and @lutethebodies

How would you describe their personality?

Despite being rather high energy, Daedra can also be rather aloof. She is definitely the kind who would prefer to do nothing and she only gets up to do things because something compels her to do things. She also very much wants to be pampered and spoiled and treated like a princess, but she doesn't let just anyone spoil her. No, no, her lovers have to earn the right to spoil her and she does not make it easy.

Daedra is also very defiant and does not like being told what to do. If anybody tries to tell her what to do she will either do the exact opposite of what she is told, or do it with maliciousness so no one would ever want to ask her to do it again. If anyone ever tries to presume authority over her, she will test it over and over and over. The only person she has ever willingly and immediately allowed to command her was Minthara (but even then there are still some moments where Daedra challenges Minthara's authority). But, hehehe, sometimes Daedra likes being forced to submit...

What brings your character joy?

She does enjoy hunting and killing, and tannery helps keep her mind calm and relaxed. She does enjoy monster hunts as well and loves taking monster hunting quests when they become available. She likes exploding things and if there is a bomb in her immediate vicinity, she will try to blow it up (no, she does not take in any consideration that she might get blown up herself). Daedra also thrives in the most chaotic of situations, regardless of if she brought them upon herself. She also enjoys cuddling with people, both romantically and platonically. She adores touching and being touched as physical touch is her love language.

What does your character strongly dislike?

As kind of mentioned previously, she really does not like being told what to do. To go further into it, she does not like a lot of expectations being placed upon her, especially if it is one that she feels she cannot meet. She does not like being told who she is supposed to be and she wants to be her own person and not restrict herself to such expectations. If there is anybody who's opinion matters to her, she begins to fear disappointing them because she fears not being able to live up to their expectations, and so she would prefer none be placed upon her. Otherwise, she will fight against them.

Daedra also does not like being called or treated as if she is stupid. She is already very well aware of her intellectual disability and knows how it holds her back. She doesn't want to be talked down to as if she isn't already aware of it or treated like a child. She is still self sufficient, even if there are some things she needs additional help with. And, for the love of the gods, do not call her stupid. My little babygurl will burst out into a fountain of tears and breakdown and then runaway. And she is so good at hiding, you'd never be able to find her. Once she is out of your sight, good luck. She can turn invisible and if she doesn't want to be found, she won't. (Or she might kill you on the spot, depends on the tone of your voice and the context).

Is your OC scared of anything?

Daedra is scared of losing control of her urges and unintentionally harming the people that she loves. She is constantly plagued with images and nightmares of her companions and she hears voices telling her to violently harm them. She is terrified that she will accidentally hurt them, or that her impulses will get the best of her and she won't be able to stop if she were to ever give in.

What is their alignment?

I would say that, for the most part, Daedra is chaotic neutral. But, I don't like shoving characters into strict boxes. So, Daedra's alignment kinda swings in the bottom right corner from chaotic neutral - chaotic evil - neutral evil. And this all varies depending on the situation she finds herself in. The lobotomy also has a massive impact on her alignment as well as being relieved from the urge once Bhaal murks her.

Daedra doesn't like to follow the rules and is much more likely to break them when she finds them to be convenient. She isn't incapable of doing good things, but it isn't her first inclination and she has to have a very very very worthwhile reason to do good stuff and she doesn't do anything out of the goodness of her own heart. She is much more likely to default to the more evil options to solve her problems (murder, theft, bribery, extortion, intimidation, torture, etc). She is much more selfish than selfless, but will be selfless and sacrifice anything for her friends and lovers (even her own life if necessary).
