3/3 What she had done still haunts her just as much as finding Vhurn's body did, she deeply regrets how she handled it, feeling that in her rage, she had played into Lolth's cruel endless game of house wars.

2/3 ...house's overnight ambush to the house that slayed him. Through this, she found the woman responsible and exacted her revenge by recreating all the torture done to Vhurn into her before finally ending her life...

3/3 Ithilene presents herself with guarded confidence and kindness to those she cares for, but deep inside, she does continue to struggle with accepting her own imperfections in the things she does, and dealing with plenty of repressed trauma and depression from her past...

2/3 just do as she was ordered to by her house because she didnt know what more she could do. For the most part, she's somewhat accomplished that while being up on the surface...

4/4 The true mother figure for Ithilene was actually her eldest sister, Driialyn, who was the one who truly raised her, as she was assigned to. Driialyn loved and cared for Ithilene, and their other siblings, more than their mother could, and it shook the entire household when she died.

3/4 ...when Ithilene lost her lover Vhurn. The most she did was permitting her to enact her revenge for him with the house's help...

2/4 The one time they ever shared any moment of closeness was one night where she discovered her mother had a miscarriage and was incredibly shaken. So much so that she clutched for Ithilene to remain close to her for sometime for comfort.
Other than that, Helviira has never done the same, even...

5/5 And for Halsin, she notices he has a very earthy scent, but it's never due to being dirty as being a nature loving man, he always enjoys any chance to bathe in any beautiful spring in the forest, to which Ithilene is always down to join ~

4/5 For her love interests... she never exactly has ever smelled anything bad off of Astarion, because he immediately complains of not being about to bathe early on before he ever smells, so he always makes sure he's able to clean himself as soon as he has downtime.

3/5 She did learn a few spells from her wizard brother that she uses to keep herself ckean, like a create water spell, but if she's ever too stressed or not focused, she can have trouble conjuring it up, stressing her even more.

2/5 Growing up, her household was fortunate enough to have access to underground hot springs that allowed them to have a relaxing and communal bathing spot for them to use. It's the one thing she does miss from home is getting to enjoy a warm soak in the springs almost everyday.

3/3 She only ever uses her noble status in situations that truly call for it, which are usually only back home, where her house's name hold sway for many upon hearing that she is an elder daughter of the house of assassins, Veldrin'vlos.

2/3 However, she doesn't really indulge in being a noble at all. Even while growing up with servants and the like, she and her siblings weren't excluded from having chores and specific duties to build their character and to grow a respect for the hard work servants do for them...

4/4 assassin, the preferred skill of the house, and thus she was trained relentlessly alongside her 2 older sisters and older brother. Any failure was met with punishment, so much so this traumatized her to perfect her skills all in an effort to avoid said treatment.

3/4 ...She also had to learn all the various mushrooms and other flora of the Underdark for survival as well as which ones craft the best poisons.

Combat training was the hardest for her, as it was practically endless
She was determined early in that she had the best capabilities for being an...

2/4 ...languages like drow, drow sign, and common, and understanding creatures and beasts throughout the Underdark and the proper kill points should she encounter any. Drow and Underdark history were some of her favorites to study, even if it mostly was about house wars waged for Lolth's favor...

4/4 ...her mother's arms, which left Helviira to determine that it would be best for her to stay away from her care unless it was necessary, causing a deep psychological wound in Ithilene that she carries to this day on feeling quite rejected by her mother, tho Helviira believed it was for the best

3/4 Ithilene was a very sweet and happy baby, who enjoy staring at the intricate designs she would notice all around her, either her mother's robes, the architecture of the manor, or the mushroom gardens outside the windows. However, she would become increasingly distraught whenever she left her...
