#Tavember day 14: trade

Aranel was never really taught a trade, but she's quite decent at mending clothing

#BG3 #BG3OC
#Tavember day 13: vice

Aranel doesn't have any physical vices, thanks to her monk upbringing, but she has many emotional vices. The biggest is probably her distrust of others, and the associated difficulty with teamwork

#BG3 #BG3OC
#Tavember day 12: sociable

Aranel is not at all sociable. Being isolated and friendless for a century left her struggling to remember how to even interact with others. She is slow to trust and even slower to rely on others

Aranel's dream is pretty simple: find a place where she feels like she belongs. She gets it with Reithwin after the events of BG3

They probably called Aranel graceful. Whatever the compliment was, though, she assumes they're lying and walks away. She doesn't need to put up with being insulted

#tavqotd

Someone gave your tav/durge a compliment!

What did they say and how did your tav/durge react?

Someone told Mal he has beautiful skin. Leading to a sly lil smile. And maybe even a giggle. And a list of everything in his ridiculous skin care regimen.

Today's prompt for #BG3FirstsWeek is Trying Something New. This series is a sort of AU Aranel, and this chapter is her first time trying an inappropriate use of grasping vines

Aranel is an Open Hand monk, so she fights hand-to-hand and unarmed. She tries to find the biggest threat on the battlefield and put herself between it and her companions

#Taveember day 9: Treat

This one is a bit strange, but Aranel's favorite "treat" is being in nature. She was born to two druids, but when she was orphaned and sent to the monastery she had nothing but bare stone walls for a century. She'll do anything to be allowed to go outside

Aranel is 125 at the start of the events of BG3. She looks it, in the sense that it's pretty young for an elf. She and Halsin are able to correctly estimate each other's ages

#Tavember day seven: Dark side

Aranel's dark side is probably her stubbornness. She's chaotic good, and her Ilmatari upbringing makes her somewhat utilitarian. Once she's decided an action will lessen others' suffering, it's hard - or impossible - to change her perspective

#Tavember day six: Self-image

Aranel's self-image is poor. As the only full elf in her monastery she came across a lot of prejudice. She struggles with survivor's guilt from the fire. Her strained relationship with Ilmater means she sees herself as having no purpose beyond suffering.

#Tavember day five: Mother

Aranel's mother died when she was five, so Aranel barely remembers her. She was a wood elf druid named Arelihn, known for being an excellent herbalist and healer. Aranel took the "Ar" (gold) prefix from her name when choosing her adult name

Before officially becoming a couple, Meliahwyl exclusively called Wyll by his name. As they grow deeper into their relationship, her nicknames for him expand from "my love" ito include "Dear", "My beloved", "Melmë" or "Melethron"*, and, still, simply, "Wyll".

#tavqotd Before they became a couple, Felicity would just call Astarion by name. After becoming a couple, she calls him the following: darling, my love, my heart’s hunger, my fox, my heart, and my moon.

#Tavtember day four: Hygiene

Aranel is hygienic, but keeps it simple. She bathes regularly as long as she has access to clean water, usually just wading into in the river itself, but she doesn't have any rituals beyond simple cleanliness

esmelina refers to people as "dear", so she would call halsin dear in a friendly manner, however she calls him "my heart" or "my sun"

What did your Tav/Durge call their LI before they became a couple (throuple, polycule, etc) and what do they call them now?

#TavQOTD #RaeBG3
Rae doesn't call people by nicknames unless they mean a lot to him or in ridicule/tease, which is why Astarion at first was just "Astarion." After they get together Rae calls him "love" or "salen teu," meaning "my moon." The nickname was a spur of the moment thing, but remained.
