#garth fable

Like her life is perfectly fine before we show up, boring, but fine.

And then we show up, suddenly her fathers dead, shes breaking her vows and adopting a name she'd expressed disliking before.

She literally forces herself to change to run from her grief, and its enforced by Theresa who only really sees her as an asset.

And she latches on to sparrow SO hard. They become friends so quickly(in my heart they bond over the watching a loved one die trauma) and then just as quickly they're taken from her yet again by Lucien, just in a less permanent way.

And we know she spends that decade we're gone becoming well acquainted with the pubs, its super heavily implied she's an alcoholic with how Garth talks to her, an how our first time seeing her is in the Rookridge Inn, drinking. We know she attempted to go back to the temple, probably for some sort of comfort, just to leave more disgruntled. She promised to take care of our dog, and yet hes with Theresa when we returned.

That all mixed with how her fire to fight is dimming, and she begins to lament all the violence she once craved and seemed to still seek when you returned.

And then at the end she blames you for the Hollowmen in the cave(which I don't doubt it would have been safer with just two monks, but thats assuming the Hollowmen don't see her as a threat as well) yet also(if you're good) still expresses she sees you as her best friend.

So much pressure was put on Hammer during the time sparrows gone in the spire, and it breaks her.
