1 thru 5 for Nimira
1. Holiday headcanon
To my knowledge, Duergar don’t celebrate a lot of holidays. They’re way too pragmatic to waste entire days of productivity on dancing around, and wasting their resources on useless frivolities.Â
This mentality has stayed with Nimira, so she will likely find surface races’ obsession with making a big celebration out of everything really strange, if not a bit obnoxious.Â
2. Cooking headcanon
She is an effective cook, but not a tasty one. The food she makes will get you filled up, and you’ll get the nutrients you need, but she doesn’t use many spices. In her mind, you’re better off getting used to simple and bland food, because you’re not going to always have expensive spices at hand.Â
3. Sleeping headcanon
Nimira sleeps like a goddamn rock, and she hates it. She doesn’t like how vulnerable she is, and having to rely on someone else to keep watch while she just lays completely knocked out for 8 hours stresses her out. Doesn’t help that she sometimes snores, which is like a goddamn dinner bell for any monster in a mile radius.Â
Having a safe space to sleep becomes top priority for her. It’s why she always tries to find some kind of bed chamber that can be sealed off. I don’t know if she’d be willing to just sleep in some random chamber and hope for the best.
4. Driving headcanon
Nimira has not once in her life piloted a vehicle. She’s not even gotten to ride an animal. At this point, the idea of it kinda scares her because OH MY GOD THIS THING IS SO BIG AND IF I CRASH I DIE.
5. Bathing/showering headcanon
Nimira... Doesn’t clean up as often as she probably should. Spending most of her life in the wilderness of the Underdark has lowered her cleanliness standards, with things like crawling through spores, mud, stale water, monster mucus, etc, not to mention fighting tons of slimy beasts all culminating in a bit of a “I’m just going to get dirty in 2 seconds anyway” attitude. She’ll splash herself with water, of course, but getting enough soap to stay clean in an environment like that isn’t worth it.
It’s not a great habit, but she’s never really had it put to question.
