there's something really really bittersweet about how shadowheart is so obviously surprised and touched by tav remembering that she likes night orchids. it's one of the rare little things she could keep away from shar, something she wasn't robbed of, the last remembrances of a person she was, she used to be, maybe she still is — and by act 1 when she doesn't question her loyalties at all, deep down she knows shar can take that away too and she will obey as a good sharran she is. and now there's a person that will carry these last echoes of her memories for her so she can remember too, so she can be sure it was — it is real; and maybe there was someone who was doing the same once, who was preserving shadowheart they knew, shadowheart who was brought to the mirror again and again so she can be broken and rebuilt anew, but still loved night orchids and animals and stood up for the ones she cared about and couldn't help but act a little dramatic — but she can't recall who they were, their face nor name. and maybe one day shar will take tav away too, make them just another blank space in her mind — and it's sad and it's scary, because now once again there's a thought, an idea, a realisation in her half-emptied mind, that the thing is, it's not true that shar is the only one who cares for her, maybe it's never been; the thing is, every time she's brought to that mirror so there can be no one left but lady of loss
#finally finished her act 3 quest. got surprisingly emotional. as you can see#she's so important to me. viconia tried to remake her so obsessively and relentlessly and every time there was something she couldn't erase#her silly puns and passion for doing girls nights ENDURED#no im dead serious. there were only two moments in this game that got me on the edge of tears#isobel's note on ketheric's body. and shadowheart's unfinished note in her little hideaway#and the way nocturne talks about her and writes in her diary. heartbreaking#mother superiour made sure she would grow up in complete darkness but she still found some love in her heart#for a friend and for much less important and not at all grand things. you don't get it. i love her so much#bg3#shadowheart
