Being a villain by occupation means it’s easy to forget that, in the eyes of other tormentors like yourself, you’re no different from any other civilian when you’re not in armor—just another prospective victim of their whims and agendas. And so here you are, the infamous Heartbreak, haplessly swept up into a villainous scheme, with Herald of all people as company. You only address Daniel once you take cover behind one of the temporary walls upon which various frames are mounted on. “This place is getting robbed, isn’t it?” you ask, deadpan.

here it is, my longest complete writing project to date in all its glory. 10k+ words of herald being a sap, sidestep being less of an ass than they'd like to be, and some los diablos politics by the virtue of it being in the POV of an anarchist. i hope you enjoy!

The Lee Family (and Audrey)

Ever wondered about Anabel's family and childhood best friend?? No?? Well you're about to find out!!

Anabel Lee: The younger daughter (Wildheart Barbarian)

Anabel is the younger, more rebellious daughter in the Lee family. Like the rest, she grew up in Elturel, until the Blood War and the subsequent kicking out of all Tieflings, where the Lee family moved to the Lower City and built a hotel. Anabel then spent her adolescence there, getting into trouble with her sister, Joy, and her best friend, Audrey, as well as another Tiefling girl they don't really remember. Anabel initially trained to be a Cleric, but her temper and impatience led her to find a new path, inspired by her father- a Barbarian. Later, after Audrey went off to do some darker things in life, Anabel and Joy left home to go adventuring. During this adventuring in her 20s, Anabel was taken aboard the Mindflayer ship during a sexual encounter, and infected by the tadpole. Meeting fellow infected friends and forming a party, Anabel set out to find a cure, eventually settling on the option of the exceptionally handsome devil, Raphael, who she fell in love with and signed a contract with. After fulfilling her duties and destroying the Elder Brain, Anabel parted ways with her party, and went on to become Raphael's bride, residing in the Hells with him as "the Devil's Bride," helping him conquer the rest of the realm. They had a grand wedding in Avernus, where her family and, reluctantly, her old friends from the party showed up, although this was only for Anabel's sake, not Raphael's.

Joy Lee: The older daughter (Circle of the Moon Druid)

Sharing a backstory with Anabel up until the tadpole part, Joy was also infected, but she had been kidnapped during a simple walk in nature. She later encountered her sister and her newfound party while wandering the forest, and Joy joined up with them. She became exceptionally close with Karlach, and in the quest to help her fix her infernal engine, Joy met Dammon, an infernal mechanic. Immediately charmed, Joy couldn't wait to meet up with him again, and neither could Karlach. Once they reached the Last Light Inn and encountered Dammon again, he repaired her engine enough to where Karlach was able to be touched. Joy was the first hug that Karlach was able to receive, and she was overjoyed. Joy was also very thankful to Dammon, and shyly asked him if once this was all over, he'd consider going for a walk in the forest with her. He accepted, and after all was said and done, he took her up on her offer, and the two began a relationship. During the journey, Joy also helped Karlach in her quest, and ultimately Karlach and Wyll went to Avernus. This upset Joy greatly, but she could not stop her friends from doing so. Joy was also later one of the bridesmaids at Anabel's wedding to Raphael, where she was able to briefly reunite with Karlach and Wyll since they were in Avernus.

Marion Lee: the mother (civilian) and Ricardo Lee: the father (Beserker Barbarian)

Meeting when they were teenagers in Elturel, Marion and Ricardo have had a strong, loving relationship for their whole time together. They had Joy two years after they married in their 20s, and Anabel a year later. They were both caring and loving parents, although all the love in the world was unable to tame their wild spirits. They did not resent their daughters for it, though. After the Blood War began, Ricardo went to fight in it, and Marion was left alone with her daughters. He did manage to send her letters every week, each time promising he'd be home in one piece. Ricardo was a fierce warrior, unafraid of almost everything, and he inspired Anabel to go the path of Barbarian when she failed at being a Cleric. Ricardo returned when Joy and Anabel were in their late teens, and the Tieflings were removed from Elturel. After moving to the Lower City, Ricardo and Marion built and began to run a hotel, which they still do. Despite Ricardo's past in the Blood War, neither of them were angry with Anabel for marrying Raphael- in fact, they were happy that she found someone who actually tolerates her.

Audrey Keller: The best friend (Assassin Rogue)

Like the Lee family, Audrey and her family were kicked out of Elturel for being Tieflings when Audrey was a teen. Her home life was rather unpleasant, with parents who hated each other and often neglected her, so she resorted to getting into trouble to escape it and to lash out at them. Audrey became friends with Anabel and Joy when they were children, and the three got up to all kinds of things throughout their childhood and adolescence. However, simple teenage goofing off became something much worse when Audrey came home to find her father beating her mother, so she killed him. Audrey's mother, despite being saved, was horrified by this, and sent her away. Audrey then decided she was good for nothing but killing, and left behind Joy and Anabel to become an Assassin for hire. Later on, Audrey encountered Anabel, Joy, and the party, and decided to join them. After Anabel was rejected by Astarion, she told this to Audrey, who then got with Astarion out of spite, and was going to attempt to break his heart. However, the plan backfired, as both were trying to manipulate the other, they discovered their true feelings, and she discovered his past. Audrey went on to help Astarion with his quest and later ascend, in the process becoming a vampire herself. After all was over and done, Audrey went off with Astarion to find a new adventure as their new selves. Audrey was also the maid of honor at Anabel and Raphael's wedding.

"There is nothing wrong with me."

We are only 1 episode into "Candela Obscura: Needle & Thread", and these two boys have together cured my art block.

Seriously, you can't combine WW1 themes, soft traumatized boys, and supernatural horror without considering the consequences.

Me. I'm the consequences.

Also, that hug reminded me so much of one of my favorite war photos, and what can I say, lads. I felt inspired.

Big thanks to Brennan and Luis for feeding us such a feast! 💚

Sean: Marion, I don't know how you're feeling bleed-wise, but I would say maybe reaching out and sensing is something that, given that we're in- Marion: I know I'm gonna get- I know I'm gonna sense the stuff, I'm not that stupid. Sean: Yeah, but you look stupid, so I- Marion: Hey, yo, no, that's enough. No, no, no, no, no. I looked stupid as a kid, but then I grew out of that. Jean: He's very handsome. Marion: And I look- thank you... Sean: I didn't say he wasn't handsome. I just said the guy- Marion: You know what? You know what I hate about you giving me shit? Sean: What's that? Marion: Nothing <3
