Get to Know my Tav!

I found this through @mistercrowbar! Love their art and characters!

Fianna "Fi" Astara || Asmodeus Tiefling || Beastmaster Ranger-Bard || She/they || 26

((The bard part of Fi is still new to me in game so I'll have more details as I level them up :P)) favorite weapon: Bow and violin. Fi likes to keep a distance by using her bow for various attacks/aoe's or use her violin for bardic spells to buff or occasionally go on the offense by being sassy(viscous mockery). She also likes being a bit sadistic by using dissonant whispers to instill terror in her enemies.

style of combat: She likes to play it safe from far away (though occasionally delights in up close combat when given the chance.) She tends to use spike growth when she can funnel enemies through it while others utilize spells to slow them down even further or keep them within the spikes. Her bear, Ranka, uses goading roar to distract enemies from her and her allies while Kilbern (raven) flies in to blind enemies and then flies out of reach.

most prized possession: A painting of her old companion, Sebastien, as well as his collar. Sebastien had been with Fi ever since she was a child and was the only creature keeping her alive who truly cared for her. They were inseparable.

deepest desire: For a true home and family (aside from her animal companions). Her blood family and old friends betrayed her trust and treated her awfully. When she meets the bg3 companions, she ends up forming a found family as their adventure goes on but it takes quite awhile for her to open up her heart to them. When she finds Astarion and they eventually get together, she finds that they have a bit in common and that she can be completely vulnerable with him after some trials and tribulations. She first befriends Karlach though, and they go through lots of shenanigans.

guilty pleasure: Cuddling. She is touch starved and has trouble with physical contact, but she really just wants all of the cuddles and hugs from her favorite people.

best-kept secret: Her past full of bullying that evolved to torturous levels, as well as other events in her past. Eventually she opens up to others aside from her animal companions.

greatest strength: Her unwillingness to give up and continue striving to believe in others even when she has lived through otherwise. She knows its cheesy, but its what keeps her going nonetheless.

fatal flaw: She has an awful habit of deflecting her vulnerabilities to others, feeling more comfortable having more knowledge on others than they have on herself. She doesn't outright lie, but she does feel as though her issues are minimal.

favorite smell: The scent of her wolf companion who she considers her daughter, Sasha.

favorite spell or cantrip: Spike Growth. Try running through that to chuck an axe through her head while she takes cover behind her more bash-bash-stabby-slicey friends.

pet peeve: She's surrounded by animals who she feels are family. Sasha, her wolf (daughter), Ranka, her bear (brother), and Kilbern her raven (son). She constantly has to pick out fur and feather off of her clothes and food.

bad habit: Any lost animal she finds who needs a home she will bring back to camp, whether the others like it or not. "But they neeeed ussss. Look at how sad they are!"

hidden talent: She can learn things quickly, but if she doesn't use that knowledge, forgets just as quickly.

leisure activity: Playing various instruments and attempting to sing (can hold a tune but that's about it) and dance (while occasionally tripping over her own tail).

favorite drink: Honeyed Ale. So much ale.

comfort food: Shark Coochie boards or cheese/meat in general.

favorite person: From the non animal companions, Astarion (partner), Karlach (bestie), and Wyll (brother figure). Her animals plus Scratch and Roary (owl bear). From her past, Terran (ranger mentor).

favored display of affection (platonic and/or romantic): Hugs and laying on one another. Once she gets over her touch issues and feels trusting towards others, she loves long hugs or just snuggling up to someone. She's constantly snuggling her animals or lounging on them.

fondest childhood memory: Meeting Sebastien for the first time <3

I have no one to tag :'D But feel free to have at it if you'd like to.

LOOK AT THEM

BLACK AND BLUE MANGLED DRAGONBORN

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[earthenterran]

(act 3)

lae'zel, who has literally never left my party or verow's side this entire playthrough, learning about the the imposter:

i just love her 'trust no one not even me' okay lae'zel i trust you ^//^

[earthenterran]

Verow (he/they) hugging Karlach for the first time

[earthenterran]

Act 2: Winning the Fight & Tackling Lae'zel

[earthenterran]

playing bg3 that first fight outside the grove gate

anyway aradin, instead of helping shadowheart who had fallen down, shoved her instead to get her out of the bit of grease on the ground

im fucking hollering

[earthenterran]

lae'zel has never not been in my party. the game treats my tav like they are the sole leader, yet its truly verow AND lae'zel that lead this folk group

[earthenterran]

so I took omeluum's ring bc like, it seemed narratively like the thing to do, but I wished there was a line of 'oh the thing keeping you safe you're giving to me. can i refuse bc I don't want you to potentially die?'

anyway I sold it back for like 53 gold coins and bought his book of wisdom so a fair trade

[earthenterran]

dataminded karlach.... fucking finally

[earthenterran]

verow (he/they) and lae'zel looking towards each other

YOUR HONOR

[earthenterran]

Verow (he/they), getting to know Lae'zel again

[earthenterran]

lae'zel: i noticed ur growing obsession with me and how u prefer me over karlach

verow: .... we're already dating lae'zel

lae'zel: hmmmm

[earthenterran]

tell me why lae'zel is the most romantic--

[earthenterran]

there's like a couple different ways the worthy fight can go. I can't decide which I prefer.

on one hand losing to lae'zel has her stopping the fight bc she cant bear to cause you pain

but if you win you can tackle her to the ground and you're both grinning like fools

[earthenterran]

*goes wild over the narrative fulfillment I'm getting with my tav and lae'zel*
