I forgot where I read it probably from some handbook but iirc drow hair is one of their symbols of beauty and to cut off someone’s hair is a way to punish and humiliate them. don’t really know if that’s an actual thing - BUT now I am thinking of shri’iia having longer hair throughout act 1 until she becomes an oathbreaker. it is only when she accepts her status as an oathbreaker that she cuts it to the bisexual bob that she usually has <3

#shri’iia is like reverse jaime to me where his hair gets significantly longer throughout the series (in my hc)#but her hair remains short .. like act 1 is her asos era ok ?#also jaime becoming kingslayer (oathbreaker) bc he did what was right instead of following what he was supposed to follow #and shri’iia doing the same thing … failing to follow the tenets of lolth’s paladin (aka being a general menace to everyone) and she did #what she thought was right (followed the group’s consensus / killed minty in a way that she thought she would be praised for #but then she was shamed for it and also indirectly saving the tieflings in the process)#but unlike jaime he is not a girlfail 💔#he did what was right and got judged for it 💔#and shri’iia did what she thought was right but then she gets shamed and forsaken for it … fell out of lolth’s favor #wait now I’m obsessed with shri’iia and the ‘how can such a night be so beautiful? why would the stars look down on such as me?’ line #shri’iia who is slowly falling in love with the vastness and openness of the sky .. something that is so new and foreign to her … but she #has fallen out of the spider favor…. deemed a stain and a source of shame .. she is now worth nothing .. doesn’t even deserve to look at #the stars - something that is not hers to view to begin with since she is not from the surface … hrk hHRK. hrk. gagging.#when I say that shri’iia’s sense of self / self esteem is low.. it’s fucking low … like it has a shovel and it’s digging low ..#100+ years of isolation and toxic codependent relationship where her self worth amounted to whatever she could do for her matriarch will do #that to u I guess …
