Lyra's childhood had been happy, she thought, but as the last of Oliver's shadows dissipated, a familiar pang of loneliness returned to her. Once upon a time, she too had dreamt up friends and spent her days talking only with the animals and the trees. After a century of nothing but spectres for playmates, she suspected she might also have been tempted to misbehave.

my bg3 oc lyra speaks with oliver.

"Drink, gulp it down, wet your whistle. Tell your story."

lyra meets thisobald thorm.

no astarion bc i romanced him last time so he and ryn will only ever be platonic rogue rivals/besties! and lae'zel called her a hoe lol so i think that ship has also sailed..

about ryn: she's here for a good time not a long time. insanely overconfident in her own abilities, very dexterous and charismatic, low wisdom and strength. was the youngest child for most of her life and still has baby sibling energy. good with kids. raised in elturel but left before the descent. was a con artist in baldur's gate before getting yoinked (she would pretend to be nobility to go to parties and steal all their valuables). i might multiclass her into warlock. flirts with everyone just for the fun of it.

propaganda / current relationship with each companion under the cut (beware of spoilers)

shadowheart: they have a situationship going on but ryn is impatient and very flirty so she's not taking it very seriously. shadowheart might be a little too serious for her currently? though she has a silly streak that shows more later on that's really sweet. plus they're cute together.. pink gf and goth gf <33 and in the long run i think they're v balanced, shadowheart has the wisdom that ryn lacks lol

wyll: she was a con artist pretending to be a noble. he was a noble with a secret hero persona. excellent parallels!! in baldur's gate she always heard about the blade of frontiers so when she finally met him she had a bit of an instant crush. they're getting closer to one another now but in the long run i think they're both a little lacking in the wisdom department, so when the fairytale gives way to reality idk if it's that solid a match. i just think it would be funny if the con artist married the actual duke ravengard. but the duke ending has its drawbacks for other companions....... iykyk. i like his avernus ending better bc idt wylll would suit being a politician that much but ryn probs would not go :(

gale: max approval with him already somehow... ryn finds him fun to tease and also is curious about magic since she's not really a magic user herself

karlach: they're not super close yet but karlach makes her feel safe

halsin: she flirted with him at the grove party but then again she flirted with every single individual there so... it might have been the wine talking

other: minthara is alive so maybe when we get to her in act 2..? idk. and ryn is on board w/ the tadpole stuff so far so who knows re: the emperor LMAO. or! maybe she just stays single? tell me in the replies

tbh this is a two-horse race between wyll and shadowheart, with gale possibly being a contender too. help me decide pls

[feytouched]

lyra and her main squad then & now. oh how the turntables

[feytouched]

i rlly like how lyra's outfit looks as of act 2... the back especially, with her braids + the long skirt + the cape + the frosty glowy staff (or bow occasionally)

[feytouched]

my bg3 tav lyra x act 1 / act 2 / act 3 / epilogue.

[feytouched]

if my bg3 tav lyra was a companion that you could romance... inspired by @fernburb on instagram!

low approval ( flat tone, quiet voice )

"Oh... Hello."

"...Did you say something? I was distracted."

"This better be important."

neutral approval ( more animated )

"How can I help?"

"Never a dull day, huh?"

"Are things always this... lively around you? Seems like we can't catch a break."

high approval ( cheerful, calm tone )

"Sometimes I'm almost grateful for the tadpoles... Without them, we would never have met."

"Whatever you need, I'm here for you."

"Oh, perfect. I was hoping we could catch up. So much has happened..."

romanced ( soft tone, smile comes through in her voice )

"Stars, you grow more stunning by the day."

"Mm, it's good to see you. I was just thinking of... well, we can talk about that later."

"I'm right here, my love. Tell me what you need."

[feytouched]

lyra fights with teeth and claws in wildshape, which tends to get messy. the blood doesn't go away when she changes back, but maybe that's a plus if you're a vampire.

The camp lay in silence, punctuated only by Karlach's snoring—and certainly, to Astarion's keen hearing, by the drumbeat of Lyra's heart. They stood hand in hand for a long moment, and in that stillness she understood it clearly: she would rather die than let Astarion come to harm again. She could never tell him as much, of course, but the realisation felt as evident as the sunrise; surely he must know it too, see it spelled plain on her face. If he did, though, he said nothing more, but he kept her hand clasped in his. Under her touch, his fingers were almost warm.

my bg3 oc lyra & astarion's act 2 heart-to-heart.

[feytouched]

"Well, it wouldn't surprise me. Hardly anything does, at this point."
