#snowdrop's ocs; van'la of creche mir'kith

[self-shipper-snowdrop]

hand over ur trans tavs now this is not a request show them

XD I swear I feel like I've done this before... or maybe I'm mixing this up with the demand for the lesbians lmao.

Anyway! Sure, here they be. I'll go down in alphabetical class order.

As mentioned on the other post, Sanva Pe'tara is a lesbian trans woman, path of giants barbarian. She adores Lae'zel, that woman becomes the absolute love of her entire life. She had a pretty typical gith upbringing [swung her first greataxe by six, her first kill by age nine, the works] although her crèche wasn't blessed with the grand library that Lae'zel's crèche, K'lilr, had. She went to one of the caretakers of her crèche about her feelings around gender around age twelve, expressing how she was genuinely unhappy as a boy. Gith may be bloodthirsty but they ain't transphobes- so she was like "well, wanna be a girl instead?" and the rest is history for her. She just went by "Vee" for awhile until she decided upon her name, which she declared after coming of age and bringing back a mindflayer head. While her upbringing was the typical brutality for a githyanki, she is very sweet to her allies, although she disguises it as "high morale is good for warriors" lmao. Yeah sure Sanva, say that while brushing Shadowheart's hair and painting her nails XD

Terhi Lucidum is another, he's a gay trans man who's super into Gale. He struggled with an unaccepting family, and he met Jasmine, a blue dragonborn noble who helped him hatch a plan. They got fake married so he could safely cut contact with them, and they didn't have any legal say-so in his life. She gave him half her money in the divorce to do whatever he needed with because his family was not only shitty but they were also Very Broke™. That wasn't part of the deal, she just did that, saying he helped out with the fake marriage [her family also wouldn't shut up about her getting married to somebody] so it was only right she help him out too. They remain dear friends to this day. He chose his name, Terhi, from one of his ancestors who was a great warrior. He's a bit on the shy side but loves with his entire heart. He's a wildheart barbarian.

Next up is Tysha Ousseanea, who yes, is the one screaming in this team post lmao. She's a wild magic barbarian. Tysha was very young when she came out and socially transitioned, picking her name with the help of her dad who helped her look through name books and such until she found one she liked. Her mother- in the brief time Tysha was able to get to know her- gave her all kinds of outfits she liked and encouraged her every step of the way to be her authentic self. She ended up as a soldier because her mother- a powerful sorceress who also was in the army before she vanished- was her inspiration in many ways. Problem is she basically does a Leroy Jenkins™ every fight and somehow wins. Girl is a bit anxious because she tries to stealth into the goblin camp and then accidentally decapitates the gate guard. She's pretty clumsy and wishes she wasn't, but she tries her best. She's basically a whirlwind in fights her allies just take a step away from and let her do her thing. She's a massive darling though, her team finds it impossible not to love her. She smooches Shadowheart and Halsin- y'know, as a treat.

Eirlys here is pretty new and doesn't have much lore- she's a half-high elf, circle of stars druid. She's the cousin of my human swarmkeeper ranger, Jae- they're related via Eirlys' human father and Jae's mother, who are siblings. Eirlys is a Shadowheart smoocher through and through. Eirlys' name actually means "snowdrop" in Welsh, and she left home after coming out and deciding to become a druid. Not because her family wasn't supportive [they were], she just wanted to spread her wings and learn more about herself. Eirlys was fascinated by the snowdrop flower in her early training as a druid, hence her name choice. She loves nature as a whole, but is especially obsessed with flowers. She can list off flower facts for literal hours on end and identify them with a damn glance. Her earrings were a gift from her cousin Jae when she came to visit Eirlys after dropping by the city, so Eirlys never goes anywhere without them. They're very close, and she came out to Jae before she told her parents.

Raelia was of course mentioned before, but, here she be again! She's a circle of the land druid and a mephistopheles tiefling. And yes, She Pink™. She was orphaned very young and found herself alone in the forest, picked up by a beautiful silver dragon named Argenti Moondew, the head of a very small, very selective group of druids. Argenti's descendant, Frost [silver dragonborn druid I have], was the one who Raelia grew up with as they both had lost their families from such an early age. They grew up and learned together, and around seventeen, Raelia came out to Frost and the two stayed up all night stargazing together. Frost suggested the name, saying she combined a couple names she thought were cool. Raelis had a Big Gay Crush™ on Frost back then but also loved the name, so she quickly said she'd use it. They then told Argenti, who was more than supportive because she's a good dragon momma. They had a lil ceremony and everything for her. Raelia had actually gone to Baldur's Gate and gotten her top surgery before the mindflayers fucked everything up, hence the joke in the post back there lol. But it turns out the journey's a good thing- as Raelia knows Frost loves her as a sister, not the way she likes Frost, so this whole journey really helps her come to peace with that. And it helps her meet the real love of her life- Karlach.

Next up is Justine! She's a half orc, battle master fighter, who is a sweet woman with a strong sense of justice- hence her name! She wanted to embody the ideal, and have it guide her choices, hence her settling on the choice. Her father [on orc] was killed by humans, leaving her human mother grieving and her sister [Babette] to become a paladin and take an oath on vengeance to avenge their father. Justine worries her sister is being consumed by the need for revenge, and looks to more peacefully resolve everything and have those people face the consequences of their actions and not just like... kill them. She's pretty comfortable as she is and fairly feminine- enjoying makeup, dresses, doing her hair and the works- but is very comfortable in her own skin. She likes her voice, her body, the works. She's Justine, she's a woman, and she's happy just remaining herself without much [if any] medical transition. Her love interest is Wyll, I just feel they'd mesh well and be very sweet together.

Masae Freath is a seldarine drow and four elements monk. He was a noble in the underdark with his twin sister long before he knew, and they both despised drow society. The two decided to escape after Masae came out to his sister, and they KNEW Lolth's god awful society would never be safe for him to live as a man. So, they fled; and he's out, proud, and happy to be safe on the surface. Masae loves his sister and her half-drow daughter, Sola, and would do anything to protect them. Masae wears every scar- related to his transition or not- with pride and believes everyone should be able to be their most authentic self. He's very drawn to Gale, and while that's his L/I currently I may swap it lol. Depends on how his story goes when I put him in action!

This is Edmond Charity! He's actually the cousin of my lore bard, Lune Temperance, who doesn't even know she has any living family. Edmond knows she exists, but... it's complicated as to him going to talk to her. This is because he was raised in a cult of Loviatar, the goddess of pain, and his mother especially was a huge fanatic who kept him and his father very isolated from everyone outside the cult. So even though he knows Lune isn't in the cult, he's nervous about meeting people. Especially because his feelings about his mom are... complicated. But he finds his way to heal, and remind himself that life isn't just meant to be pain and nothing else.

This is Marigold Gemdrop, a human arcane trickster rogue and former florist. She lived in a small village with her fathers, tending to and selling the flowers they grew with little hints of magic to keep them extra healthy. However, a raid from a band of orcs, hobgoblins and goblins wiped the entire village out except Marigold- who managed to fake dead long enough for the raid to move on. She became rather... cynical after that, especially as no one seemed to care her entire village was just dead. Everything she knew and loved... gone. And nobody seemed to care. She chose her name based off her papa's favourite flower, which she too has come to deeply adore. Marigold actually found out she was trans kinda by accident, as she used a disguise as a "young, fair maiden" to break into a merchant's guild... and was like "wait why am I so happy being referred to as a woman??? ...O h." and the rest is history lmao.

This is Van'la Mir'kith- she's from the same crèche as Vetra, my githyanki war cleric of Vlaakith. Van'la is a blue dragonic ancetsry sorcerer who spent much of her life honing her magic abilities to become the strongest sorceress she could be. She and Vetra are close as sisters, even referring to each other as such, and endlessly support one another in all they want to do. Van'la was very particularly good at any martial arts in her life, and to the entire crèche's surprise, Vetra was the one who protected her. Thankfully Van'la's skills with magic made themselves clear quickly, and they kinda guessed she was trans when he first then she did was just "disguise self" to make herself appear as a girl. They just made it official after that and Van'la chose her real name. She hated her old name anyway.

aaaaaand last up of the group is Suvi Fragaria! She's a divination wizard from a family of artisans who make enchanted weaponry. Suvi pursued magic unrelated to her family's work, simply enjoying being in touch with the Weave and exploring the capabilities of magic, especially enjoying the divination school. She was sent to Baldur's Gate by her family to sell more of their weapons- with plans for her to further travel and eventually loop back- but... she loved it there! So now she happily lives in Baldur's Gate with a book shop she runs, and offers magic tutoring for a flexible price to anyone interested in learning magic. She's a big sweetie.

I come bearing... MOAR. Because yes, I did go insane making a character for every subclass. I meant it when I said I'd be stuck here forever, especially with my character creation obsession problems.
