small shoutout to @chaostides and while i told her this already, i love, love, love the idea of giving class paths to characters based on their decisions. it's so fun to have this evolving development with a character where they decide to go down a new class path entirely bc of changes in their lives, and it's just got me thinking!
maybe in an au or smth but laera being unable to trust and not having her vengeance would set her down the path of being a wild magic barbarian, probably with a lvl2 dip into fighter bc it's so ingrained into her fighting style.
laera is only able to overcome most of her act i plot points bc there is some small willingness to trust in the party. she understands that her survival depends on them, and is open to cooperation provided sheβs kept safe and her objectives are met. one such objective is having her vengeance at the goblin stronghold for their abuses against her, which serve as a cathartic remedy to her most recent traumas. itβs all fresh, suuuper fresh, and she can't progress, in all aspects of her development, unless it's dealt with. clearing the stronghold is also the only thing that restores laeraβs connection to the weave! encountering the tyrrans just reopen old wounds and recall a lot of the other feelings she was having pre-abduction (anxiety, paranoia) and taking them out removes the immediate threat she believes exists.
normal act i laera was already in a bad way when she was abducted bc she was battling a host of unresolved mental health problems. completing the quests that are important to her and securing her safety offer her peace of mind and the chance to heal. meanwhile, alternate path laera is never given the chance to heal and denying her safety, keeping her fearful, and forcing her to side with the absolute forces that tormented her lead to some very self-destructive and harmful behaviours. laera was already detrimentally self-reliant, and this attitude of hers is further reinforced bc her trust in the party is completely gone.
if laera is denied clearing the stronghold and killing the tyrrans, things do not go well for her from that point onwards. her pain, her fears, and her experiences in the stronghold are invalidated and her approval, as well as her emotional and mental health, will tank. there is no resolution to the immediate fears she has; however, instead of leaving the party, she remains bc even she understands if she sets out on her own, she isn't making it to baldur's gate.
onto the weave: normal act i laera has been struggling to reconnect to the weave since her escape from the stronghold, and instead of knocking down the mental block through resolving her requests, on her alternate path, her pain, fear and anger compounded only put cracks in the wall. this is what her wild magic is - the bits of weave that force their way through the wall, but only during periods of extreme emotional intensity; the jumble of her feelings distilled into a singular emotion: rage. as an eldritch knight, her command of the weave was controlled and intentional; she has none of that as a wild magic barbarian. her magic is random and unpredictable; it can help or harm. this new form of magic, though, is hardly contained as laera contends with keeping the rest of herself in check. eventually, i'll do a breakdown of her choices on this path!
more thoughts below, mostly about laera + anger π©΅

"Idiots," I say, referring to the characters I have spent hundreds of my real life hours contemplating.
spring πΌ catherine called birdy (2022)
' focus on the task at hand, laera. ' / @kenostaph ( from shadowheart. )
Shadowheart weaves the truth of her intent behind her words. Lost on someone's who's spent less time with her, but Laera reads the message clearly. Simply put, ' You're being distracted. ' Laera scoffs, squinting into the darkness laid out before them, attempting to discern both the ledge and the path β where one leads to their destination, the other, a swift fall to Hells knows where. Coming to the Underdark was a bad idea and being in the thick of it reaffirms her original thought.
β You could 'ave just said pay attention. I would 'abve understood you clearly, Shadow'eart. β Laera remarks, keeping herself rooted firmly in place as her left hand braces against what she certainly knows to be the side of a cliff. She won't admit it, but distraction is too light a word. Everything that's been plaguing her seems to be weaving through her conscious; thoughts she's otherwise been able to tamp down through sheer force of will alone. The tadpole bursting through her skull is at the top of her mind; followed by the flightiness of her love interest; and then there's the matter of tripping to her death. ( If she falls into the abyss, though, Shadowheart is coming with her. )
β I want to turn around, β She turns halfway to eye the cleric, barely a dark shape against the backdrop of black. β We should 'ave gone topside. Would 'ave been a 'ell of a lot easier, and safer, if we 'ad the sun to light our way. The deeper we go, the 'arder it will be to turn back. Can't say it's a risk I'm willing to take any longerβ¦ β
Her instincts are never wrong and from the prickling at the back of her neck, something tells Laera she's closer to danger than she'd like to be. A moment to rest should be peaceful, but peace doesn't find her. The twitch of panic crawling down her arm, to her fingers, thrumming at the touches of Weave. Wyll is her first real brush with a warlock, yet to share company with another is a touch beyond comfortable. The hidden figure backing their fount of power, while undeniably valuable, leaves too many questions. Laera doesn't like the unanswered.
β You've been staring at me like I'm a sour lemon- β a lime, maybe? β and I am just curious if I have offended you in anyway, Laera? β Nasrin cannot hide the way she emotes at the thought, clearly sad if not outright torn up from the idea she may have accidentally offended the other.
β I'm just staring. β Laera responds to dismiss the accusation, scarred brow wrinkling the centre of her forehead as she looks elsewhere. For a moment, she allows the matter to rest. Nothing else said, and no obvious tell that she wishes to continue the conversationβ¦ Until the whisper of ' what if? ' returns. Her face noticeably scrunches, and dark eyes quickly snap to hold Nasrin beneath her hardened gaze. β You're a warlock, yet you talk like a paladin or cleric at timesβ¦ Why? β
unprompted! / @kenostaph ( from nasrin. )
laera, never before seen............ in a dress!

giving laera your muse's hair colour
top row: @chaostides / alara's natural hair colour bottom row: @osculumabmor / grier's pink hair
both of these were me guessing with the actual cc selection or mod i had on hand! i think i got alara's (honestly don't remember what i picked but it's a vanilla preset). definitely channeling her inner alara in #2 lmaoo her natural hair leans more into brown-red than laera's ginger, but i can tell there are red undertones.
grier was hard. :( ik she has pink hair and there were some vanilla options i liked but they didn't look anything close to what grier actually has. and i also know you're still looking for an adequate pink so this is what i chose! it's pink-pink.... i don't hate it on laera, but i think a desaturated pink would look best on her with her skin tone.
giving laera your muse's hair colour
top row: @chaostides / alara's white hair bottom row: @baldursgte / zaelun's white hair
i was going to include astarion's white but he and alara have pretty much the same hair colour, and the greying wasn't enough to make a difference! anyways.... all of you guys coincidentally have characters with white hair so here's the result on laera. π€£
i swear these are different whites and i think you can kind of tell in the first two pics of each row. i don't hate it, but laera's skin tone is too warm to look good with stark white hair, sadly. :( also her eyebrows are white in one and not the other and as a preference, i always prefer darker brows with lighter hair colours.
' i'm not staring, i'm admiring ' + a kiss on the neck / @vannaspar
There is a point where Laera stops thinking of the how β how did they get to this point? Entangled in and through one another; confessions shared in breathless whispers; the rise of heated passions free from constraint. Falling over the space of her tent is time exhausted; frantically pulling themselves out of their clothes to meet in desperate embrace. ( As if they will never hold each other again. ) The thought has accosted them all since Gortash died β unnoticed and unremembered β within the walls of Wyrn's Rock. Only a few days of preparation stood between them and the Netherbrain.
This will remain a thought for another dayβ¦

submission by @vannaspar <333 ur the best!!!
notes (by vanto):
'won't do tasks for free' = it's clear he's significantly more selfless/ok without pay WAY more than laera is. however there has been and there will be times where refusing payment isn't an option/he's actually arranged payment for a service. to draw from an ingame example, it's like. he wouldn't say 'ok what's in it for me' when zevlor and the grove tieflings asked for help. that sort of thing.
'will swim with here (bonus for oceans)' = fun fact vann has a fear of water (related to a drowning episode during the mess with callisto) but he DOES make attempts at managing it bc he actually does like swimming. it'd just take him a bit / laera would have to be the encouraging factor in his case but hey it's doable (vannlaera beach episode)
'travels but wants to eventually settle down' = vann's a traveler at heart but he'd settle down for her. i think he'd have a complicated relationship with either settling or forever traveling bc he doesn't want to be like his father (feel isolated) or yknow. die like his mom did (out traveling) so they'd have to talk about that eventually.
'be ok with her criminality' = hasn't and won't judge her for her criminal past + accepts that in an environment like the gate, laera's past IS an asset but like. Don't Push Itβ’ (relates to the asterisk on 'being a stiff' because vann still has a toe in the lawful spectrum despite being neutral)
'is an excellent kisser' = this is a very small detail but he doesn't consider himself special. I ON THE OTHER HAND KNOW HE'S A WONDERFUL MAN AT EVERYTHING SO LIKE. YEAH,
notes (by killi):
