Young Laverna and the Enchantress, before their falling out. Apparently Laverna is the Roman goddess of thieves, so I thought I’d give the Enchantress the name of Diana, as she has in some traditions been the Queen of the Fairies

Wait im back again for one more comment! I adore all the ROs but this game has my favorite women hands down! In a lot of games the male ros tend to feel more fleshed out and so I tend to gravitate towards them because I wanna get the most content out of the story, but every one of your characters feels so full and alive and like a complete person with aspirations and flaws and just such distinct characterization and I think it especially shines with the ladies (especially Desma but we've established im biased) and Nari who I will protect at all costs omg. But also it's so nice still trying to befriend all the guys because they're also fantastic! Everything with Sutek from the return from the hunt onwards, gold! Merikh showing up to be a bro and help take back the guild, wonderful! Aretas wanting to be our friend, precious!!!

I love this cast of characters and I think I will play again tomorrow and try to romance someone besides Desma~ Have a great one!

Thanks a bunch!

I really try to take my time and flesh out each character. I need to know why they so what they do, how they see the world, if they want things to change, stay the same, etc. And I try to allow my characters to have conflicting parts of themselves, just like people do.

Nari for example is extremely competent, but in a very specific area of her life. She possesses a great deal of authority and has the skill and authority to wield it, yet she does not thrive in certain social environments. I have to allow both of these things to coexist. Similarly, Laverna is genuinely kind. She is not a warrior, at least physically. But she has a clear view of who she loves and trusts and is surrounded by women that utilize cunning. I have to let her be kind AND calculating.

Yeah, I really am glad you like the character interactions, because making things feel natural and like relationships are progressing is a bit hard. (Especially when I want to get to the good stuff!)

Laverna: I would’ve gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids nico cradling the cocoa puffs: those are MY meddling kids

So I'm sure everyone is aware of the Preminger Astarion meme at this point. But may I offer another bg3 character that I think fits the vibe of another Barbie character.

Behold this is what I see every time and I have no one to tell irl.

Khaga looks like Laverna!

Laverna

For the lower class sometimes stealing was all that was left, desperate times call for desperate measures. With a libation poured with the left hand they would pray to a particular goddess, Laverna. She comes from the precursors to the Romans, the Etruscans, originally a spirit of the underworld. She is patron of thieves, monetary gain, and the shadows. She had a sanctuary near the Porta Lavernalis, a gate on the northern side of the Aventine Hill. She also had a sacred grove on the Via Salaria, a road connecting Rome to the Adriatic Sea. She additionally had a mountain sanctuary atop Mount Penna in Tuscany, known as La Verna.
