Absolutely not. Snow means cold, danger if you don't have the right equipment. And cold means Val'dran's right hand gets nigh unusable after a bit, the temperature affecting the scars across his fingers.
It feels numb. Mostly because there's an intense ache that he refuses to acknowledge.

Val'dran's reaction to an insult is commonly little more than a raised eyebrow or a twitch of an ear. What does he care for someone's need to have a pathetic show of strength in insulting him?
That said, he's still petty, so watch out for torn seams and altered maps.

Val'dran is fairly certain he's not overly respected. He's a small, quiet drow with a moral compass that spins when needed, and though he can do good things, he also certainly does bad ones.
But there are perhaps some who fear-respect him for being a drow mercenary, if they know.

Val'dran doesn't partake in politics. As a renegade he has no place in the politics of Menzoberranzan, and on the surface he doesn't belong - but he has a keen interest in staying up to date!
After all, politics, revolutions - perfect for opportunistic mercenaries to make use of.

I was struggling to think of a neat little answer to this, because Val'dran is... multi-faceted and a very silly man. But @claidikey.bsky.social made a *fantastically* funny VP that does a good job!

A Tav that is basically myself? I'd like to think tiefling, and of course a bard - I may not be that good at instruments, but singing and telling stories, why yes!

Val'dran has never really been taught much in the way of a trade - he was raised a drow noble, meant to be a warrior, a weapon. But he does spend some time nowadays on all manner of things, and he does *write* a lot.
He has actually gone undercover as a scrivener once or twice.

One could perhaps consider Val'dran's constant lying something of a vice - he does find himself doing so even when it's not strictly necessary.
Beyond that, well, he can be callous. Oh, and then there's the murdering and sabotaging thing, which could be bad. And he's *petty* ❤️

Compliments from strangers is common enough, but Val'dran never ceases being suspicious of their motives, responding either with a slanted look or a brief, insincere smile.
If it's from people he cares for though, there's high chance of a flush over cheeks and ears, and a long stare.

Val'dran is in no way sociable. Reticent and anxious, he prefers to keep to himself and the few people he enjoys being around.
That said, he's also a spy with high deception and persuasion. So long as he plays a role, it's easy to be charming and social. But tiring, beneath it.

Val'dran might show up, though he's not sure he's really meant to be there.
Still, skulking about the edges of Elegy's party, he slips by to offer her a trinket that is perhaps impersonal, but hopefully useful - a miniature compass set in a necklace he's found.

Val'dran isn't good with comforting others. He's not even good with comforting himself.
He might offer something edible though. His mint leaves, if he has enough to share. And sit nearby if his presence seems... appreciated. He can't say he understands it, but if it helps...

There is no returning to rest if Val'dran has woken from a nightmare. Heart pounding, the anxiety is by far too strong to manage.
He chews on mint, goes walking, tries to find something to *do* that has value, purpose. Something to focus on so he stops *thinking*. Stops fearing.

Val'dran doesn't sleep. He's careful with his trance. Yet sometimes he's too tired. Sometimes dread and memories mingle together to create something new and worse.
What if he had not been able to flee? What if his mother kept him, a miserable weapon? No drow left, only bloodthirst...

Val'dran doesn't have any particular dreams beyond continuing his work for Bregan D'aerthe, being valued. He's rather an unambitious drow, all told.
When it comes to actual dreaming, Val'dran does not sleep - and he spends his trance going over plans or recent events.
