The fact Minthara would be acting a little odd socially in Drow society, being just attributed to the fact her mother - Sos'umptu, was by all the accounts that are written about her, a social hermit, feels fitting somehow.

The way no one questioned her eventual discconnect at pleasure parties or disassociative stare in the middle of the noble talk. The way she would silently grieve the people she thought she could love or be her friends, because she wanted that familial and friendly connections so badly and no one recognized it. Oh, it's just High Priestess Sos'umptu's daughter, this is to be expected.

#[ 🕷️ ] —— headcanons #[ 🕷️ ] —— musings #[ I've been haunted by the image of her killing a friend or family (or lover) and while on the surface its celebrated or #casually brushed aside like so many deaths are in menzobarranzan. She feels that grief. ]#[ at first it was a cool - in her youth she'd sit proudly at the table. ]#[ now in her own home- the big empty house- with another fallen friend.. slain sister.. brother.. lover. ]#[ she is silent. she does not talk. she grabs a blanket and a wine bottle and walks to the Drow equivalent of a balcony. ]#[ and looks upon all of Menzo because she lives at the tallest point so its always a sight. ]#[ but she has locked herself away- curled up in a blanket- and an empty mind. ]#[ trying to cleanse her thoughts of the ache in her chest.. and how tired she is of social stuff. ]#[ maybe she might even take her favorite sweet with her who knows. ]#[ either way she doesn't recognize grief and it shows. ]#[ and no one would question it because her mother was known to lock herself in the chapel or run back to the chapels safety. ]#[ like OOH SOS'UMPTU JR IS AT IT AGAIN!! ]#[ they just think its the hermit gene acting up. ]#[ or perhaps this is how Sos deals with it also- perhaps she's more like her mother than she realizes.. ]#[ we just don't know. ]#[ here's minthy not even realizing she's questioning society despite priding herself on being the most Lolth devoutee. ]
