finally have the motivation so IVE FINALL FINISHED IT-
I mean neither Waiola OR me have favorites, but the pet adoptions that stuck out the most for her were the baby laguefaeth, wyrm, and the undead cat!
Waiola prefers going back to Caed Nua often, as long as she nearby. She really loves renovating the keep as often as possible, and she especially loves tending her garden and hedge maze(which i just remembered existed). She also makes an effort to teach herself reading and writing when possible- Aloth usually helps when he can.
However, when she’s not close by, she also enjoys sleeping out in nature. She feels that keen connection to all life, it helps her fall asleep. She’s going to have the nightmares either way, so why bother staying up, right? She doesn’t really enjoy inns, but doesn’t hate them either, since most of her party usually prefers being indoors. She usually takes the bed closest to an open window, though.
Other than the gardening and general upkeep of Caed Nua, Waiola enjoys healing. She also likes collecting items that she’s given after helping people. She tends to take a lot of mementos from her travels- the diving helmet from White March, for instance, and the empty bottle of wine that Lady Webb left behind. She never drinks from it.
Other than being a watcher, Waiola gained an aversion to fire after the plantation burned. If she sees a flicker of flame out of the corner of her eye, she flinches. She’s alright when she sees someone casting it directly, though. She’s just afraid of fire suddenly sneaking up on her.
Also, she’s afraid of Galawain.
At the start of the game, she’s skittish, quiet, timid, more easily startled. She tends to help people no matter what, usually without needing to think first. She’s very unsure of herself and her safety.
By the end of the game, she’s mellowed out considerably. She’s still highly empathetic, but less easily shaken. She’s more confident, not as frightened. She’s still easily flustered by compliments, but she doesn’t react as strongly. Having gained so many friends, as well as finding a home, did wonders for her. She’d lay down her life for these people.
Here’s a whole bunch of songs that fit Waiola!

Her first thought was that it was very cold. She liked the people. Although she almost had a panic attack fighting those slavers to help Ailef become free, she’d do it again in a heartbeat.The tragedy she heard unfold on the dwarves of Durgan’s battery saddened her greatly, but she was glad she could help them find peace. She seemed out the forge to help the people of Stalwart. She negotiated peace with the Crag ogres.
If you thought Waiola would ever not try for a peaceful solution you clearly haven’t met her yet. She helped the people of Stalwart, the readcerans, and the ogres come into a beneficial relationship.
After much debate in her mind, she decided it would be best to put the low tide ondrites out of their misery. In them she saw Maerwald, and what she might become, and decided that if she ever ended up like them, she’d want to be put to rest. After all that, when she realized Kaoto was going back on his duty, she was angered.
“After putting your predecessors through such an ordeal, you’d deny your responsibility to them out of fear for yourself? You’d disrespect them like this?! Shame on you!”
She was able to sway the other ondrites there to her side of the battle.
She’s very... intimidated by the eyeless when she’s fighting them, but when she’s talking to them, she realizes they actually look kind of cute, in a silly way.
She felt conflicted when she heard about Ondra and Abydons past. While she was saddened by the loss of love, she was also highly concerned about how Ondra was manipulating Abydons lack of memory to change him. She was sympathetic to their plight, but she won’t say it didn’t confuse the hells out of her.
In the end, Waiola took the hammer and buried the eyeless personally. She was fully expecting to drown with them, trusting her friends to end the fight with Thaos on her behalf- though it didn’t end up playing out that way. She was able to persuade the eyeless to temper Abydons memories- let him remember, but also understand the perspective of others involved as well.
