Get To Know Your Tav
Tagged by @voloslobotomyservice, thank you! <3 For this I tag @underdark-dreams, @faerunsbest, @dustdeepsea, @commander-krios (sorry if any of you have been tagged already, this has been sitting in my drafts for a long time lmao)
Link to my second post here.
I have two I would like to introduce but tumblr's text limit is forcing me to do two seperate posts. This post is dedicated to my OC, Daryna Stalwart, she is in her 30s and is a tiefling with broken horns (formlery curled), human brown eyes, and skin such a pale shade of pink it's easy to mistake her for a human.
What is their:
Favorite weapon? Daryna hates melee fighting but will use a scimitar.
Style of combat? Spellcasting, long range
Most prized possession? She was gifted a sending stone from Rolan that she will never let go.
Deepest desire? To truly love and be loved by Rolan and to have a very long, happy life with him. She also wishes the world to be kinder so he doesn't feel the need to be so harsh to protect himself.
Guilty pleasure? I have been thinking on this and I don't think she has one.
Best-kept secret? Daryna cannot keep a secret to save her life, especially from Rolan, Cal, and Lia.
Greatest strength? Rolan, Cal, and Lia are the biggest contributing factors to the strength she has to survive anything life throws at her. Avernus was the first big obstacle she overcame for them.
Fatal flaw? Daryna is very self sacrificing in the name of creating a better world for Rolan, Cal, and Lia to live in.
Favorite scent? Daryna loves floral scents as they remind her of Elturel/Rolan.
Favorite spell/cantrip? Guiding Bolt, sacred flame
Pet peeve? She absolutely hates when Rolan partakes in bad decision making and gets himself into trouble. Other than that, she has enough patience for to not find much that annoying.
Bad habit? Unintentionally dismissing what Rolan truly wants (her) in her insane attempts to try to protect him from the harshness of the world/make the world a kinder place for him.
Hidden talent? Daryna has the ability to knit and once she discovers this talent, she will knit Rolan and his siblings some winter gear.
Leisure activity? Reading books or cleaning up the tower libraries with Rolan. Additionally, she enjoys going out in the evening with him and walking through the parks while holding his hand.
Favorite drink? Daryna is not a huge fan of drinking but she will share a bottle or two of Arabellan Dry with Rolan if he wants.
Comfort food? Daryna's favorite food is beef with rice, green beans, carrots, and peas.
Favorite person(s)? The most important person to her in the entire world is Rolan. She would die for him, and she would die if it meant the world was a better place for him.
Favored display of affection? Daryna loves caressing against and curling her tail with Rolan's, particularly while they are sitting together or sleeping.
Fondest childhood memory? The day she met Rolan, Cal, and Lia is in her top favorite memories. Also the first kiss she shared with Rolan (not counting the one he playfully provoked out of her when they were kids).
Anything else you’d like to share? Daryna just has an incessant need to be near Rolan and to be loved by him, but she also wants the world to be a place he can feel safe enough to be in where he doesn't need to front as such an ass as he does and she is willing to sacrifice her own life for it.

BG3 Backstory Bash by Kelandrin
This is a challenge to help people flesh out their Tav’s backstory by exploring their past. It is organized into four sections with seven prompts. You can treat this as a monthly challenge or a general project. You can write headcanons, fics, or share art based on the prompts! You can interpret the prompts however you want. If you want to share use the tag #bg3backstorybash
I saw their post of this and thought it would be fun to do! I am choosing to do Willow Hvithrafn in this post and may do Daryna Stalwart in another post, just as I did for the Get To Know Your Tav post (Daryna's, Willow's) I am going to tag a few people who may be interested in doing this, but this is not a tag game. You don't need to make your own post or tag others. @underdark-dreams @my-favourite-zhent @dustdeepsea @voloslobotomyservice @faerunsbest
Baby:
Parents: Human father named Mathias, high (moon) elf mother named Estre
Birth: A difficult, long labor for Estre in the middle of Spring (sometime in the month of Tarsakh (April in Earth months))
First word: "No"
When they first walked: Trying to go after Estre as she left to relieve some of her wanderlust, which was very frequently.
Tantrum: When Estre left yet again on her fourth birthday.
First sickness: Days after Estre left on her fourth birthday, Willow fell into a serious flu-like sickness for several weeks that left her alone with the healers at Lathander's monastery as her father did not want to "deal with it".
Thunderstorm: She disliked storms only because the stars were hidden, and stars were her only friends growing up.
Childhood:
Friends: Willow was very cold and distant from everyone growing up because of the neglect from her father and perceived repeated abandonment from her mother who was never quite present when with Willow. Due to this behavior, she never had any friends growing up.
Siblings: Willow is unaware, but she has two half sisters and her mother and father has a son who they love after she left home.
Getting into trouble: She often was spoken to and reprimanded for pushing or punching local and school bullies.
Birthday: Sometime in the latter part of Tarsakh in the spring.
Games: Willow has no patience nor any interest in games.
Learning something new: Unless it is related to combat, strength training, or something related, she has little to no interest. She is not unintelligent, but she isn't especially talented at anything either. She is just average.
Trauma: Her father neglected her, her mother was hardly ever around, she was bullied for emotionally struggling and for crying over everything to the point she grew cold and distant and emotionless until she met Geraldus.
Teenager:
First love: Willow never loved anyone until she met Geraldus as an adult.
Rebellion: Her "rebellious" phase was standing up for others to bullies and being physically violent with them.
Running away: Willow hated her mother's wanderlust and leaving so much she tries to suppress that part of her and viewed running away as the same thing. Although, she exhibits similar behavior by walking away/removing herself from uncomfortable situations.
Reckless behavior: Standing up to anyone and everyone who were mean, especially those who physically bullied others. Sometimes she would get hurt trying to defend others.
Peer pressure: She has never been subject to peer pressure as she never cared what others thought after she emotionally sealed herself off.
Growing pains: She had a lot of knee and lower back pain.
Taking responsibility: When it comes to protecting others, she is good with responsibility. But if she misbehaves or hurts an innocent she gets defensive out of embarrassment and will walk away/storm off.
Adulthood:
Their “first time”: Their first time will be with Geraldus, several months or so after they officially get together.
Serious relationships: Her one and only serious relationship will be with Geraldus.
Work: She is a Harper, and growing up she did side jobs (vermin extermination, pet sitting, etc) to get money to pay for a special weapon.
Leaving home: She left home at 20, joined the Harpers at 27.
Aging: Gracefully as she is a half high elf.
Finding their place: She only finds her "place" once she's accepted Geraldus in the others as a part of her life.
Staring a family/found family: Willow does not want to have children, and will never have any. Kava, a Dragonborn who joined the Harpers, is the only one she considers a friend, almost like a brother, and Geraldus is her love.
