#Tavember Day 13: Vice

For Connie, minor vice is drinking. (Though in the alternate God!Gale timeline in one of my fics, this turns into a major vice.) Major vice is…uh… tadpole power.

I’ve mentioned this before, but she gets addicted to the tadpole powers in Act 2, and the gang has to do an

#Tavember Day 11: Dream

Since childhood, Connie always said her dream was to be a hero. A rather vague dream that, while noble, caused her a great deal of strife throughout her life. She does become a hero eventually, but along the way, she also realizes that her real dream is to find love and

#Tavember Day 8: Age

Connie is 28 in Acts 1 and 2, and then turns 29 in Act 3. The gang celebrates her birthday with her mom. ❤️ She’s a human, so her age is pretty straightforward haha.

Definitely in that late-20s “Dear god what am I doing with my life” phase that many go through.

#Tavember Day 7: Dark Side

Connie is stubborn and has a fiery temper, and she’s very quick to bite back when crossed. While this can be a good thing sometimes, as she’s always willing to fight back against cruelty and injustice, it can also bite her in the ass when it comes to relationships.

#Tavember Day 6: Self-Image

A big part of Connie’s journey is her struggle with self-image and identity. She’s always longed to be seen as a strong, dependable fighter and leader. So much so that begins to view her own emotions, her fiery temper and passion, as burdens. And she believes she must

#Tavember Day 5: Mother

It’s complicated. As a mother, Cecilia has always been warm, caring, and supportive. She‘s the one who taught Connie how to bake and instilled values of compassion and goodwill towards others in her.

Yet at the same time, Cecilia didn’t do much to stop Lance from

Oh! And she does wear a touch of make up on her eyes, so she tries to keep face clean most days and will usually wipe it off in the evening.

#Tavember Day 3: Social Class

Connie grew up in working/lower middle class. Her father is a lesser known guildmaster while her mother is a baker in Rivington. They made enough to cover the essentials like food and shelter, but still lived rather humbly.

It was partly why her father pushed for her
November 2, 2025 at 10:45 PM
Agatha helped Connie hone her combat skills and taught her how to better survive on the road. She and Connie became very close friends, but Agatha later passed away after falling ill. Her death still haunts Connie, but she considers Agatha her best teacher.

#Tavember Day 2: Education

Connie learned how to read and write at the Open Hand Temple. Father Lorgan was a bit of a mentor to her. These lessons stopped in her teen years, and she began working at the bakery with her mother.

Her combat education is a whole other story. Her father taught her the

TW: Birth

#Tavember Day 1

Cecilia Lamalet gave birth to Connie and her twin brother, Theo, in their home in Rivington. As you can imagine, pushing out twins is never easy. So their father Lance had his guild’s best clerics assist. Connie came out first, then Theo.

It took a few weeks for

But if you’re kind and good to her, she’ll be kind and good to you. Under her stubbornness and strong morality, there‘s a very sweet and kind woman. If it’s true love, she’s ride or die. You both bring out the best in each other, and learn that value comes from the fact that you’re irreplaceable.
October 26, 2025 at 4:28 PM
uncaring of what you do, driven by an idea that this is what it takes to be strong. You have the potential to be a very toxic and downright abusive partner to her, molding her into essentially, your weapon. A tool to be used against the Elder Brain.

Also, if you’re playing a Durge and you willingly become Bhaal’s chosen, she’ll break things off with you as well. Fail a persuasion check, and she’ll side with Jaheira and Minsc against you.

“I thought you were stronger than that. But you’re content to be Daddy’s little monster. Go fuck yourself.”

At the same time, Connie is someone struggling heavily with her identity. She’s unsure of what she wants out of life, and she’s terrified of putting herself in a box like her parents tried to do.

As a partner, it’s important that you support Connie while also valuing her autonomy.

🧵 Connie would be relatively easy to romance if you’re playing a morally good character. Doing good deeds, being kind to people, and supporting others is a surefire way to get her to like you.

Much like Wyll and Gale, Connie is a character who values a strong emotional connection before physical.

🧵 Let’s get the obvious reason out of the way first. Gale is hopelessly attracted to strong women who can kick his ass and oh look at that, it’s Connie. But jokes aside, Connie showed Gale a great deal of compassion, especially in regards to the orb and Mystra. The moment Elminster left their camp,

Well first we’re gonna ignore the fact that this is literally the premise of one of my fics— *coughs*

Gale is definitely taking charge, he’s calculating at least 20 different rescue plans at once, trying to figure out how to utilize every spell he knows. I imagine a rescue mission by him is one of
