#tavqotd Is your tav afraid of the dark? Or do they revel in it?
Elayna doesn't fear the dark, because she has Darkvision and can cast fire spells to light her path. That said she much prefers the light.

#tavqotd Your Tav/Durge is sitting with the person they trust. What something from their past or a secret do they share with that person?
After he broke his oath, Elayna tells Kairos the underlying reason she hired him. She needed protection, yes, but she was also lonely and wanted a companion.

At the end of the day, Kairos is still perfect for her. They were quite literally made for each other lol. But this was a fun little thought experiment and fun to see how Elayna would be in these relationships. Maybe Elayna and Kairos' dynamic will be my next thread someday. 🤔

So what’s the problem? The very beginning. His wizard arrogance and the way he acted like wizards are the only ones who receive a formal magical education really rubbed her the wrong way. He’d have to make the first move and humble himself, but if he does, these two would go all the way to the end.

Gale: They bond over their shared love of gaining knowledge, and they both have an affinity for Waterdeep. She’d love to settle down with him in Waterdeep post game. He can keep up with her quick wit and intellect with ease which she would find stimulating in more ways than one.

The problem, again, are the possible endings. She wouldn’t want to stay in Baldur’s Gate she hates that city. She also wouldn’t want to go to Avernus or the frontiers she's done with outdoors adventuring. If there was another possible path for them, then this is totally viable.

Wyll: Another one who is great on paper. She lives for the heroic prince who sweeps her off her feet and seduces her with sweetness. It's a welcome change of pace from what she had before, and she'd value his friendship as well as his love. They're very sweet together and look out for one another.

The main problem is the endings. She’s not going to Avernus, it’s just a no. The mind flayer ending is also a no from her. If she was a companion, she’d break up with the player if they went full illithid. And if Karlach perished on the docks, that’s just too sad she wouldn't wanna go through that.

Karlach: Elayna wouldn't expect to be as interested in Karlach as she is, but there's a spark there for sure. She likes her company and would be able to be patient while Karlach gets her engine fixed. The longing adds to the excitement for her. This could definitely make it to Act 3.

Much like Lae’zel, Shadowheart starts off as too abrasive and intense for her liking. For Elayna, love and attraction are flames that must constantly be fed, and the drop off in Act 2 would be enough to put that fire out. The kiss animations are cute though.

Shadowheart: Honestly these two just don’t have very much chemistry. Elayna would like to share wine with Shadowheart (and be very opinionated about said wine). She likes to swim so she’d have no problem showing Shadowheart the ropes. But anything they have likely won’t last til Act 3.

Halsin: Halsin is sweet and considerate, which Elayna really likes. She's just really not fucking with the druid way of life or the lack of bathing that comes with it. That's a major roadblock for her would she have a fling? Yes, as long as he has a bath first. But long term relationship? It's a no.

Lae'zel: Her romance in Act 3 is genuinely really cute and really sweet. Unfortunately, Elayna isn’t getting that far. Lae’zel is a bit too abrasive and intense for her at first. Elayna is no stranger to casual sex, but the refusal to connect post sex in Act 1 would just make her feel used.

for protection would really fuck with her. She’d be really hurt and outraged, almost wanting him to leave the party for it. A relationship from this point on wouldn’t work, not just because of the hurt, but because she’d never be able to fully trust him from that point on.

Astarion: On paper, he’s exactly who she would go for. A sexy smooth talker with a supernatural edge, oh she’d absolutely love that. If she met him pre-game she’d be cooked. The roadblock here is his Act 2 confession. Knowing their Act 1 encounter was initially an act to manipulate her feelings-

Minthara: Definitely the least compatible out of all of them. Elayna thinks she’s hot, but she doesn’t align with minthara’s evil “take over the elderbrain” plan. Frankly, I spared her this run just to see, but in Elayna’s canon story? Minthara ends up like the other goblin leaders.

Elayna Romances Everyone! A thread 🧵
Because it turns out having your tav romance everyone is an excellent character study. 😅
I made this list from least to most compatible, with the end of the list being who she'd most likely romance if Kairos wasn't in the picture.

#Tavqotd Is there a character who just brings out the pettiness in your Tav?
For Zylv it's Omeluum. She did not care for this mind flayer or his potion that made her tadpole stronger. Balthazar's condescension made Ruby feel quite petty, and after some back and forth she shot him in the face.

#Tavqotd What color are your OC's eyes?
Elayna's eyes are flaming teal blue. People notice the fire in them, and how the flames around the pupils brighten and intensify when she's feeling different emotions. She really likes when people compliment them.

#TavQOTD Does your Tav have any nervous ticks or self-soothing habits?
When Elayna gets agitated or anxious, she curls the tip of her tail back and forth and tries to focus on it. She'll be almost completely still, just moving her tail as she tries to ground herself.

#TavQOTD How does your Tav/Durge feel about the ocean?
Elayna loves it. She doesn't care for the sand on the beach but she does love to swim in the ocean. She'd also be content with a balcony view of the water below, spending an afternoon by to the waves while she reads or writes.

#tavqotd Act 3 Thievery
The Counting House and all the ships behind it. Shyntarra goes around from the Water Queen's House onto the nearby ships, takes out the guards bit by bit, and cleans the place out. It was easily her favorite heist.

Isys would've gone back to Silverymoon and continued serving Mystra as a cleric, occasionally going on journeys at her command. She also might've reconnected with her ex girlfriend 🤔
