Laima Touden Au - family life:

+May also apply to FTM Laios.

Timeline:

At 14, Laima deserted the village and joined the army, only to be discovered and reclaimed by her parents after a few months. Despite the harassment and bullying she received in training, she still thinks it prepared her for a future career in fighting.

Laima was married off to the son of a wealthy merchant at the age of 16, having her first child soon afterwards. Laima tried to find happiness in her role as a housewife, but grew increasingly despaired by her husband's dismissive and later abusive behaviour.

When her husband became physically abusive during her second pregnancy, Laima fled the village with her daughter in tow. The last contact she's had with her husband or her parents was a letter containing divorce papers.

Laima has since been enjoying her life as an adventurer, whilst also making time for her kids. Is still muscled up, chubby, and decked out in plate armour like OG!Laios. Romantic relations with anyone are off the table unless her kids are ok with it.

Laima has sort of a "doomed anime mom"-hairstyle, not wanting her hair to flow freely like her mother's but also not really caring how it looks.

By the time of 513, Laima has two children.

The Kids (OCs):

Tove; a 9/10-year old mage-in-training attending the all-girls magic school. Tove believes that she and her mother fled the village because Tove's powers were discovered, not wanting her to be ostracised like Aunt Falin was. Tove is skilled and creative, if not a little overconfident. She recognises that there's something "different" about her family from other people (i.e neurodivergence), and overcompensates in trying to appear "normal" to her peers. Her magic isn't particularly easy to control, failing at the most inopportune times. Tove sneaks out of school to help save her beloved aunt after receiving a prophetic vision of the fight with the Red Dragon. Presents herself as a grown halfling to trick other adventurers into taking her seriously. Idolises her Aunt Falin and Marcille. Has a very idealised view of romance and relationships (no doubt fostered by her mentor), and has a book of embarrassing poetry she's composed. Appearance-wise: Is fairly tall for her age. Has Laima's/Laios' mom's red-auburn hair colour. Very sharp chin and high cheek bones - all covered in freckles. Hazel-gold eyes. Hair is typically in an elaborate braid, especially if Aunt Marcille is around to help. Wears her school robe with the insignia covered. Character Inspiration: Aiko from Little Witch Academia + Wirt from Over the Garden Wall. Likes: Strawberry Pancakes ("Mom makes them special on my birthday!"). Dislikes: Lettuce. ("It tastes like water.")

Pilypas; a cheerful 6-year old who only really knows The Island and its Dungeon as his world. Was born on the road when Laima was working for the trade caravan. Pilypas has never met his biological father, and is currently deciding on who to choose for the role (Mr Chilchuck is high on the leaderboard). Frequently wanders off from his caretakers, and was supposed to be in the care of a babysitter when his mother went back down into the dungeon for aunt Falin. Thankfully, his sister found him and begrudgingly agreed to let him come along on her mission. Is frequently mistaken for a gnome/halfling due to his name and build - which his older sister uses to dupe others. Will react to the emotional distress of others by offering them (or the current threat) food from his pockets. Also will ask other adventurers if they're married, to which he will mention his parent's current relationship status. His mother gets extremely embarassed whenever she sees this happen. Appearance-wise: Chunky and short. Has very short blond hair like Laios in canon. Round face with big hazel eyes. Very much a tiny double of his mom/dad when they were younger. Character Inspiration: Greg from Over the Garden Wall + Gene from Bob's Burgers (when older). Likes: Cheese ("I can hide lots!"). Dislikes: Uncooked fruit. ("Yeech!")

???: Unidentified. Came into being within the dungeon. Laios/Laima is unaware that they exist just yet. Other parent unknown. Likes: Monsters. Dislikes: Squid and shellfish.

Changes in canon:

Instead of directly fleeing the magic school, Falin instead insisted for the school to take Tove in her place after she dropped out; wanting her niece to have adequate magic training before she went out into the world.

Marcille became a mentor figure to Tove in the magic school. Marcille was still upset that Falin left her grave-keeping job to pursue the life of an adventurer - but decided to watch over Falin's niece in her stead. For all Marcille taught Tove, the most impactful was how to braid her long hair.

Tove and Pilypas are in the Dungeon searching for Aunt Falin, having tricked other adventurers into believing that they were grown-up halflings. They finally reunite with their mother and her party around the same time Falin is resurrected. The Winged Lion now smells easy prey...

Zon and the other orcs aren't fooled for a second when Tove claims she and Pilypas are halflings. As a parent, Zon knows a child playing around when he sees one. Before he can gather them up and find wtf their mom is, the pair wander off to continue their journey.

Kabru and his party are pretty sure the two adventurers they just met aren't adult halfings/gnomes, but they seem to be having better luck than they are. Mickbell finds Tove's scam hilarious.

The Winged Lion had tasted many types of desires and wants. But is curious to understand those of a fresh mind...
