✂  𝔹𝔸𝔹𝔼𝕋𝕋𝔼 / 𝔸ℙℙℝ𝕆𝕍𝔸𝕃    a way too long post with useless information

  Babette likes being in other's good books, and appreciates when the player offers help without wanting something in return. Despite rather approving of safe decisions, she is inspired by acts of charity and heroism in general. The player does not have to be completely "good" to gain her approval. Avoiding conflict with decisions that leave both parties amicable (even when ultimately deceiving the opponent) will raise Babette's approval.

Babette dislikes displays of cruelty, unnecessary violence and overly judgmental behavior towards NPCs. She disapproves when the Player does not offer support and understanding for her pact. Babette shows much dependence towards the Player and will lose approval should they leave her alone with all decisions.

✂ 𝐆𝗿𝐞𝐞𝘁𝐢𝐧𝐠𝘀

Depending on her approval rating, Babette may greet the player with:

Negative (-10):

•   "Oh, you." •   "Make it quick, I am busy." •   "Fine, what is it?"

Neutral and up (above -10):

•   "Anything I can assist you with?" •   "You need help?" •   "Ah, hello. What made you walk over?" •   "Anything you want to share?"

When spoken to by someone other than the player character:

•   "Apologies, but we need to focus, right? No talking now."

────────────────────────

𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

Flirting:

•   "Good to see you again. What's the matter?" •   "I know this look - Don't leave me waiting now." •   "By far my favorite chatting partner. How are you doing?" •   "Hello, hello. I hoped you would come over."

Partnered:

•   "And I was worried I couldn't smile today. Anything you need?" •   "Whatever it is, I can't wait to help you out. Honestly." •   "Your worries are mine. Ask ahead - We will make it matter."

Broken up:

•   "Hm?" •   "What's the matter?"

Hag:

Broken pact:

•   "You need an open ear? I owe you this much at the very least." •   "Your ever-loyal seamstress, at your service." •   "Greetings! What would you like to talk about?" •   "Something important? I can take important."

Cool useless Esteri fact

She goes through an obsessive sketching phase when crushing on someone. Portraits everywhere. No guests allowed until she has survived these weeks.

[bloodyarn]

I came to the realization that Babette is basically a better lay than Esteri, and it saddens me but also makes me giggle very much.

›    Babsi's family had a cat named Button when she was a child. He was a lazy fella they essentially got for mice and rat control in the workshop. Him being so incompetent at his job led to the family never getting another one after he passed away from old age. ›    So yes, she has experience with owning a cat. She is a cat person. ›    She is also very strict when it comes to handling one, oftentimes even scolding companions if they try to pick up a feline or outright ignoring their body language ( " 🤓 Uhm, actually, they hate that if their tail lashes out. " ) ›   Overall, I can see her being popular around kitties. She is very soft-spoken, not hasty, and basically busy with her knitting and sewing stuff. She respects animals and prefers if they initiate interactions rather than her. Also free yarn to play with.

Baby hag Babsi ?

The earlier appearance is still canon, she just looked way too old in those so I yassified her to look more her age as a fresh hag :)

[bloodyarn]

✂ The worst thing about Babsi is that you would gain approval if you agree to Volo lobotomy.

Babsi's blood sucks man don't drink it alr ?

So you have a faint vision of how she looks in her Grove disguise :)

꒰ 𝗕𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒 ꒱ 

Full name: Babette Adeline Ziromzu Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual + Biromantic Pronouns: She/her

────────────────────────

꒰ 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 ꒱ 

Birthplace: Baldur's Gate Job: Seamstress Phobias: Everything with more than four legs. She is the token example of someone who hates bugs. Spiders and moths are her arch nemesis.  Guilty pleasures: Gossiping and sweet baked goods. Combine both and you make her day.

────────────────────────

꒰ 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐀𝐋𝐒 ꒱

Alignment: Lawful good.

Sins:

Aimless: Babette never really learned to do her own thing besides following orders or occasionally working on own little projects in the past. The first thing she wanted to do after the Nautiloid accident is to go home because she was shit scared of what to do else. Imagine a house cat suddenly dropped off in the wild and having to figure things out. She only knows how to be a seamstress, thus her goal was and is reaching the city. Blue-eyed: Oftentimes, she refuses to believe one would have only ill intentions. She gives chances way too often and wouldn't it be for her companions, this most likely would have cost her her head in the past.  Impressionable: You can talk her into almost anything. Refusing commands only led to bad outcomes in her childhood. One example would be when the party arrives at the Gate and meets their first Steel Watcher, Babette was pretty much convinced it was a great idea and a wonderful change to have these machines walking around the city. Even after destroying the facility, she was sure Gortash had good intentions in making the city safer. She is a bit slow . . .

Virtues:

Forgiving: The kind of good part of being blue-eyed is that she does not hold a grudge for too long. She can very much be explossive if someone did her wrong but the girl is not one to not accept an apology. Compassionate: Compassion was a huge deal in her childhood. Her sisters had to stick together, a friendship of seven that was even bound by blood. Caring for others and helping them out comes naturally.  Polite: Babette comes from a rich family. Politeness is her bread and butter. She even worked at the shopfront for a long time before turning into a hexblood and has exceptional negotiation skills.

This is a hard one since I did not create Babette with shipping intent. The following answers are my gut feeling and what I imagine could be cute. The ships are in nor specific order, just babbling about it. Why I definitely ship her with non canon muses from BG3, I will only name canon characters here.

OTP:

✮ Gale :  You can tell me what you want but they would click in my opinion. Not knowing how to handle his whole Mystra problem at first, he would still have an open ear that listens to his problems unconditionally. Funnily enough, Babsi would remind Gale to take things easy after every fight because of the orb, not entirely understanding how it works but still trying to be of help. It would probably often end up in conversations like ❝Hey, it's alright, I can lift this myself.❞ ❝Oh, but the ORB Gale. Better safe than sorry. I help you.❞. What only fuels this whole ship is that Gale is the token husband her mother always told her children about. He is smart, kind, polite, influential. This definitely plays a big role in her preferences too. Godhood would be sad and hard. I don't think Babette would try and talk him out of it. He often sounds reasonable, and if the best outcome is becoming god, in his opinion, she will nod like ❝Oh you have a point, that makes sense.❞. Yes, it would break something inside her but who is she to object? He is the smart guy. ⚔︎ Wyll : She is a hopeless romantic. Wyll would have the easiest fucking game. The woman never learned how to dance - perfect opportunity to bond. And oh dear lord would she bond. She could also relate to a degree with his family problems, ending up feeling a huge amount of empathy for Wyll and invested in helping him where she can. What many people (somehow) judge him for is that he is so untruthful in the beginning. Not a big deal for her. That girl won't call him out, she understands very well. Hells, when babette joins, she is disguised as a tiefling herself for the first few long rests, fearing to be treated differently if people found out about her pact and her hexblood ancestry. I feel strongly about them.

Acceptable Ships:

🗡 Astarion : Obviously a  good contenter. Girl is easily manipulable which makes her a perfect target in act 1 but I think the whole plot between them can turn out awfully sweet when the journey goes on. Babette canonically also volunteers to being a bloodbank after Tav found out about him being a vampire spawn for the group's sake lmao. Not because she finds the idea hot, just so Astarion doesn't have to be hungry. ⛓ Karlach :  Babette can easily fall victim to the big lady's confidence and the charm that lies behind it. Since touch is a huge thing for her in a relationship, romantic or not, she would be more than eager to try and figure out how to handle the infernal engine and the whole Avernus spiel. There is also just a huge itch that is being scratced about big strong woman and petite small one. Imagine the huuugsss *melts* *like litererally because Karlach, ya know ya know?* Note: Ships don't only have to be companions. I just picked them to keep it clean and consistent. I am a huge sucker for clashing personalities. Gortash for example could be interesting, since she is awfully easy to manipulate. Volo is more of a crackship but still awfully fun to think about! Apparently Rolan made it into the roster too [thanks Bean ig uwu']. If you want me to write some more about it feel free to boop me :)

OT3: Babette does not really enjoy the idea of polygamy so I will leave this blank :x

Brotp:

ฅ Minsc: Bimbo and himbo. These two share one single braincell and would be seen talking and theorizing about the most mundane shit. She would always call him first when there is a big bug in her tent and I believe he would be elated to help on this mighty quest. They are both not the brightest in the most charming way possible. Babette would be around his tent a whole lot just to hear about battles and stories.

Notp: Wulbren Bongle >:( We hate Wulbren Bongle in this household.

Let me just ctrl + v the backstory here :3c

────────────────────────

𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓[ ✂ ] [CW: Child labor]

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝘆𝐨𝘂𝐧𝐠𝐞𝘀𝘁 𝐨𝐟 𝘀𝐞𝘃𝐞𝐧 𝘀𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝘀. Babette was born into a strict family. Playing outside like her peers, getting dirty in puddles on the street after summer rains, nothing that she could afford. It was her own mother, who treated their children like workers, teaching them knitting, crocheting, sewing only to prepare them to ’help out the family’. Both of her parents endured a childhood in poverty. It was their way of keeping the family’s life standards above average, no matter the cost.

The girl had trouble, picking up the family’s craft. Never terrible but never perfect either. A wrong stitch here, a forgotten button on a vest, keep your gods damned head together ! Why couldn’t she be as good as her sisters ? Why does mother threaten to send her off, send her to an orphanage, if kind enough ?

No matter how long Babette practiced, time only rewarded her with more bloody pokes in her hands. Clumsy. Slow. Lazy.

A hag got wind from the girl’s troubles and bitter thoughts. Babette’s fears enlightened, amused the fey. Sweet-talking her way into the child’s heart, feigning compassion, offering solutions, quick ones. One of their circle was killed recently. A replacement was needed. If the young lady would agree to a pact, she would gain impeccable skills in her craft. Everyone would be enticed by her future works, the needle like a brush to the artist. Only a small touch of her own body, a hair, a droplet of blood in her work, would do the trick. In return, the seamstress would comply to turn into a hag, one of the arch fey’s kin, in time.

And the desperation cried louder than the girl’s common sense. The need for admiration, for praise, was too much to bear living without it any longer.

Babette left the forest with a crown.

A token of her pact.

────────────────────────

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓

𝐀𝘁 𝐟𝐢𝗿𝘀𝘁, 𝘁𝐡𝐢𝘀 𝐛𝐚𝗿𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝘄𝐢𝘁𝐡 𝘁𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝗿𝐜𝐡𝐟𝐞𝘆 𝘄𝐚𝘀𝐧'𝘁 𝐛𝐚𝐝; 𝐧𝐨𝘁 𝐚𝘁 𝐚𝐥𝐥. The pact altered the girl's appearance; hair & skin now holding a soft lavender tone, pale and almost sickly. The eldercross around her head now one with her body. Hers, just like the fey blood pumping through her veins. After the first shock settled when returning to her family, it didn't take long for her parents to see the potential of their youngest child. Only by attaching something from Babette, sewing in a hair between fabric, the craft would carry a mesmerizing touch. Clearly, anything would sell now. Obviously, the nestling was a pot of gold.

Did she really have the privilege to argue about it now ? About that exploit, which only got worse because of decisions, made with her own intentions ?

Her work for her family continued, happy to help, happy to be needed at least. It was . . . strangely nice.

𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐃 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐇

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝘄𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝘁 𝗿𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝗿 𝘁𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝘄𝘀, 𝘁𝐡𝐞 𝘄𝐡𝘆𝘀, 𝘁𝐡𝐞 𝘄𝐡𝐞𝗿𝐞𝘀. Stranded, far away from her hometown, she found herself at shore. The devastating pulsing inside her head, the twirling of her vision, the nausea. Everything was scary. Not only that, but finding herself anywhere else instead of home made her anxious. Her appearance could easily be identified as a hag in the making, her reason why she disguised herself as long as needed.

Following a group of tiefling refugees on their way to the Emerald Grove, Babette blended in marvelously. From there, the hexblood would have to find a way to Baldur's Gate. The thought about . . . returning . . . seemed strange. An awkward stir and turn. It inflicts worry and second thoughts. Maybe This was a sign. Maybe it was just foolish.

Whatever the future brings, it is inevitable anyway.She should stop thinking and start following her instincts.

If she begins to feel hotter all of a sudden, as in heart rate picking up, starting to blush etc. (like the early stages), Babsi will visibly play more with her hair. Not curling a lock around her finger but brushing her hands through it to make sure she looks nice enough for her encounter. She makes sure her outfit/body is free from dirt to look as good as can be. Will most likely happen when in a conversation, so if you spot her being a bit more concentrated otherwise with looking cute and pretty, she is getting fuzzy.

*sighs* I know this will sound super pathetic but.

Hand holding.

Look, she appreciates healthy and well taken care of hands and fingers. It's attractive to her. Also, there can be so much intimacy in holding hands. The little squeezes, thumb brushing over the back of it, intertwining ? If her partner catches on to this and actually starts using this in a subtle, casual way, she will get unchaste thoughts. She will search for their eyes and try reading their expression, if it is okay to think suggestively. She is too easy sometimes.

[bloodyarn]

Okay, but this stupid Volo ersatz eye post made me think.

If Tav declined the 'surgery', Babs would want to try the procedure. After one long rest, obviously the eye grows back because hexblood™ things.

This would be a big fucking enlightenment for her because she had only made experience of hair growing back in the past, never something severe like a body part.

[bloodyarn]

𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐃 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐇.

After the nautiloid crash, Babette was fortunate enough to find a group of tiefling refugees travelling to the Emerald Grove. As a hexblood, disguising herself as one of their kin was an easy task. Eavesdropping in the one or other conversation, she weaved a story about having left Elturel for the common reason of hate and conspiracy about the tiefling population wide spread in the city.

────────────────────────

𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓

Babette can be recruited as a permanent companion during Act One. The party can find her in The Hollow, striking up a conversation about the situation and easily find out that the disguised tiefling has very little clue what is going on, despite saying she was one who sought refuge. It's a set of fairly easy perception and history checks [you only have to roll a 2 at best.] before Babette subtly opens up about not really being on the run. However, she insists on having a talk in private, urging the player to continue their conversation at camp. If the player agrees to said demand, Babette will wait at camp and tell them about the crash and how scared and confused she is to be so far away from Baldur's Gate. Furthermore, she will reveal to be not a tiefling, offering to lift her disguise after the player showed enough compassion for her situation. At this point, you are able to ask her to join the adventure, for both your goals are seeking cure and eventually would lead further to Baldur's Gate. After she joined the party, Babette won't be in her tiefling disguise anymore while following the group.

[bloodyarn]

✁ Seen some scent posts so might as well take the opportunity to write it down here :3c

Babsi's scent is a mixture of warm silk, this specific smell of freshly cleaned wool & fig. It's warm, earthy and a bit fruity. But you would have to be pretty close to her to really notice. She does not have a strong odor to herself.

Thank you for your attention.

[bloodyarn]

𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐔𝐄 𝐇𝐂

Recently thinking about the epilogue, when Babsi returns to her family, how utterly heartbreaking it would be. Her sisters were more than certain she was dead, either lost like so many are in these times, kidnapped, murdered. Some probably already made peace with the idea of her youngest sister not returning, moving on. 

And then she just walks through the shop's door, her sibling at the counter, first paralyzed, then screaming, crying in joy so the whole family has to look at what is going on at the shopfront. Babsi getting hugged from every side, suffocating in the group embrace, but she wouldn't want it any other way.

    Everybody cries the most ugly, painful tears.

Every single one is and always was super protective of her. Not only because she was the last child, but also because she got picked on the most by their mother's expectations. They were never allowed to comfort her when she was a child as some sort of punishment. ' Do not pamper her, she wants the attention. '.

The seven girls were inseparable, having endured hardships together, always. Not having her siblings around after the abduction was so. Fucking. Scary for Babette. Like a baby bird that fell out of the nest. Their reunion is the most healing, beautiful thing that could happen to her.
