❤️ Karlach- family headcanon
So, I was originally going to write something here about how we don't know when Karlach's parents died but it must have been before she fell in with Gortash and in fact probably her parents' death is why Gortash was able to get one over on her because she no longer had a support system. But it turns out that's not headcanon! It's expressly articulated in one of the paths in her graveyard conversation!
I'm so smart. ^_^ Also please watch that scene because as usual Samantha Beart's voice acting is heartwrenching. (Also sheesh, Karlach was younger than I thought when she lost her mom. She says her mom died, her dad died several years later, and then gortash got his claws into her. Assuming she worked at least a year or two for Gortash before getting yeeted to the Hells, she must have only been like 14-15 when her mom passed. :( )
Anyway, an actual headcanon, then: Karlach developed her love for the city through her dad. He was a courier, which meant traveling all over the place to talk to different people and seeing all different corners of the city and all walks of life in it. On safe/uncomplicated runs he would take his young daughter with him, and she loved to take in everything, asking about a billion questions and talking to everyone.
♦️ Jaheira - quirks/hobbies headcanon
Jaheira has a banter with Karlach where she mentions playing the tin whistle very badly on occasion. I like to think that she spends more time with this during the rebuilding of the city - not in a very serious way but just as an occasional distraction. Maybe Alfira gives some free music lessons to everyone involved with saving them from destruction. ;)
♒️ Wyll - cooking/food headcanon
Wyll is a former noble, but I think he does know how to cook passably. Ulder was the son of a blacksmith, so they're not blue-blooded, and I doubt Ulder's commitment to his son being properly skilled would have skimped on being able to feed himself. It's very practical knowledge though, not high cuisine, which makes him a bit sad sometimes because his upbringing did also give him an appreciation for good food if not the means to produce it himself.
