Every bg3 companion’s backstory is like:
When I was a child I was in a dire situation so I trusted someone— I didn’t have much of a choice and then I was locked into servitude for many years.
Lava girl: 10 years ago when she referred to herself as ‘a girl’ she was poor and shit and trusted that goopgash guy and then boom sent to actual hell
Sailor moon: as a lil bb her fucking parents got yeeted and she ended up in a cult where they used magic and shit to fuck her up and bingo bongo she is a cultist now serving mother night
Astronaut: a minor (elves get to vote at 100), dude got his shit kicked in (prob his fault ngl) and off brand strahd comes over and is like wanna live? And then boom 200 years of torture
Wylliam Shakespeare: the most literal of them all— 17 and everyone was gonna killed by dragon mommy cultists and boom literal demons r like I can help, and now he’s a warlock
Waterdeep’s worst wizard (my Waterdeep dragon heist character is best wizard): the goddess of magic groomed him and told him to Kys
I don’t pay attention to any other companions but considering this pattern it’s probably the same
