LOBELIA

Full name: Lobelia Springflower Name meaning:  Lobelia: a type of flower; Springflower: self-explanatory Pronouns: They/Them Race: Strongheart Halfling Age: 30 Orientation: Pansexual Romance: Barcus Wroot (Potentially) Class: Barbarian Subclass: Wildheart Origin: Folk Hero Theme song:  I’m Born to Run - American Authors / Shut Up and Dance - WALK THE MOON

Personality Everyone knows Lobelia is the life of any party. They’re nomadic in nature and they’re always ready for a fight or a meal. But they have a good heart and save their sword swinging to fight evil. They do love the chaos of battle and protecting the weak. They love to look out for the little guy.

Although they’re a nomad, they do appreciate hearth and home. It’s just that home is anywhere they want it to be. Home is usually determined by who is around them and not what. They’re cheerful, affable, and boisterous.

They come from a huge tight-knit family. Being far from home can be difficult, but they visit regularly. Their family and friends are the most important thing in their life; they’ll kill and die for them. They care about their community. They want to take care of people while indulging in their love of jumping headfirst into things. Generous to a fault, they’ll share everything they have with others.

They love discovering new things, even something small like a new food or clothing style. They hate to see living things suffer, even if they’re evil. In the case of evil people, they just settle for giving them a quick and painless death when possible.

When they set their mind to something, they follow through no matter what gets in their way. They also have a strong sense of fair play and prefers finding the most equitable solution to arguments. They do have their vices. They love unwinding after a long day at the bar with friends and a drink in hand.

History They were born in the small town of Honey Grove, not too far from Baldur’s Gate. It was named after the fact honey is the town’s largest export. Lobelia had a perfectly normal and happy childhood. Their parents made a living by producing honey so Lobelia knows a lot about beekeeping and honey.

They’re probably one of the most well adjusted Tav I have… possibly the only one. They’ve had their fair share of troubles during their life, of course. But their family will always be one place they can turn to for comfort.

Likes: Protecting people, honey, farming, beekeeping, warm tea, picnics, dancing, partying, celebrating with friends, good food and drink, and farm living

Dislikes: Letting others down, fire, people being hurt, not being able to protect others, and strong smells

Fears: Fire. After being badly burned in a fight, Lobelia can freeze up when a fire is nearby. (Campfire don't bother them although they keep their distance.) They can become useless in battle if they’re up against anything fire-related. The previous battle that scarred them left its mark physically and mentally. They also constantly feel like they have to help people or else they’re useless. They do fear letting everyone around them down. If things go wrong, they always believe it’s their fault.

Quirks: They are so… okay. In a world of hurt people, Lobelia somehow seems to come out of things doing really well. Yes, they have their issues, but people often note just how emotionally grounded they are. It counts as a quirk with the types of circles they run in.

Mental Health: They are pretty mentally stable compared to most. They do have battle scars that have never left them. They’re self-conscious about the injury on their face and assume people are disgusted by it. They were burned badly in a fight and it has left them with a fear of fire. Whenever an ally or civilian is killed, they take it to heart and have a hard time forgiving themself, even if they did nothing wrong.

Favorite Foods: Honey, Honeyflame Bread, Chicken Dumplings, and Smoked Sausage

Favorite Drinks: Queen’s Water (a soft drink made from syrup, honey, guava, and tamarind), Gin, and Tea

Favorite Flower: Honeysuckles

Height:  3’0” / 91.44 cm

Skin: Bronze

Hair:  Auburn

Eyes:  Brown

Color Scheme:  They generally wear browns and oranges since they’re usually wearing animal hides, pelts, and furs. When it comes to fur, they have a wide variety of colors they might wear.

Fashion Sense: They prefer to wear clothing they or their mother made. Whenever Lobelia hunts, they use every part of the animal. Every animal they’ve hunted for food is used to make clothing and armor.

Family:

Elten Springflower — He’s Lobelia’s father. He’s cheery, friendly, and known for his boisterous laugh. He’s a beekeeper who helps produce honey for the area. Normally, halflings are nomadic, but he and his family settled down due to the bees. He’s supportive of his children, even if he doesn’t totally understand their motives.

Bree Springflower — She’s Lobelia’s mother. She helps with selling the honey and she’s equally supportive of her children. She’s friendly, nosy, and a little overbearing. While she isn’t a malicious person, she is a gossipmonger and often knows a little too much about everyone’s business. Lobelia will gossip with her, too.

Prunella Springflower — She’s Lobelia’s older sister. All of Lobelia’s siblings work at the honey farm. Prunella has two children of her own, Mellina and Pimfire. Her husband, Wenrich, is a woodcutter. Prunella feels obligated to excel at everything as the oldest Springflower child. She’s a very sweet and high-strung woman.

Mellina Springflower — Mellina is Prunella’s 13-year-old daughter.

Pimfire Springflower — Pimfire is Prunella’s 8-year-old son.

Wenrich Springflower — He’s Prunella’s halfling husband and he took the Springflower name. He works as a woodcutter.

Jasper Sarbella-Springflower — He’s Lobelia’s older brother. He’s a goofball and he’s married to a half-elf named Laucian.

Laucian Sarbella-Springflower — He’s Jasper’s half-elf husband. They chose to hyphen their names. They both work on the honey farm.

Plumeria Springflower-Proudfield — She’s Lobelia’s older sister. She’s air headed and kind-hearted. She’s married to another halfling, Myrtle, and they have two children, Milo, a son, and Jillian, a daughter.

Myrtle Proudfield — She’s Plumeria’s halfling wife. She comes from a farming family. She helps support the honey business, but focuses on crop farming. She sells her produce in town once a week.

Milo Proudfield — He’s a tiefling child that Plumeria and Myrtle adopted after Lobelia saved him from goblins. His parents were killed by the goblins long before Lobelia arrived.

Jillian Proudfield — She’s a half-elf Plumeria and Myrtle adopted from the streets. They found her when she was an infant.

Hyacinth Springflower — She’s Lobelia’s older sister. She’s passionate and, like her mother, an absolute gossip. She’s insatiably curious and she just loves being around people. She has no interest in romance or marriage. She just wants to be a fun aunt.

Flint Springflower — He’s Lobelia’s younger brother. He’s the Mr. Fix-It of the family and needs to feel useful. He can be judgmental, but he always has good intentions. He’s dating a halfling named Wellby.

Wellby Goodbutton — He’s Flint’s halfling boyfriend.

Rocky Springflower — He’s Lobelia’s younger brother and he’s the youngest of the family. He’s a little eccentric and always has a million ideas, especially to improve the bee farm. He’s engaged to Cora.

Cora Brightwater — She’s a tiefling who is engaged to Rocky.

They're my second Barcus option. I wasn't sure who made the most sense so I posted both.

I played with some character ideas!

Leander Chastain (He/Him) - Human Rogue

He's Tessa's twin brother. He grew up in a family of criminals, like his sister. He's very well adjusted to the life of a rogue. He's a little more shady than Tessa. He loves his family and he's 100% loyal to them. He can be a bit of a little shit and selfish, but he has a great sense of humor.

Trophie Lam (She/Her) - Shield Dwarf Sorcerer

She's Minty's older sister. She takes after their mother in that she's not only a sorcerer, but a lot less excitable. She doesn't always see eye to eye with Minty. She's a huge romance novel fan.

Sebastian Sullenberger (He/They) - Forest Gnome/Deep Gnome Artificer (Wizard in BG3)

He's Ingrid's younger half-brother. They're half-deep gnome and half-forest gnome, although you'd never know it by looking at them. He just looks like a forest gnome. He's an adventurer who'd love to see his sister again. While the siblings aren't close, they do like one another. They were just pitted against each other as kids. Sebastian's reserved yet kind.

Elyse Starling (She/Her) - Half High-Elf Ranger

She's a half-elf ranger. I created her for Rolan and I made her a noble. I don't know why, but I was amused by Rolan getting with a "runaway noble." She left home to try to make a real difference in the world. She's naive and a little too cocksure. She's learning how to make decisions for herself for the first time, too.

Vaira (She/Her) - Githyanki Paladin

I'm still ironing her out. I was just eager to have a gith. I want her to go against what most gith are. I even debated switching her to a cleric or something. I have to do a bit more research. She would have taken the Oath of Devotion.

Lobelia Springflower (They/Them) - Strongheart Halfling Barbarian

They're one of the potential Barcus love interests I made. They grew up on a honey farm and became a folk hero barbarian. They come from a giant family, too. Everyone knows Lobelia is the life of any party. They’re nomadic in nature and they’re always ready for a fight or a meal. But they have a good heart and saves their sword swinging to fight evil. They do love the chaos of battle and protecting the weak.

Viktor (He/Him) - Tiefling Paladin

His class might change, but he was also a potential Barcus love interest. I just liked the idea of him getting with a dashing hero. (I have the biggest soft spot for him and also suck it Wulbren.) I'm still learning who he is. He took the Oath of Vengeance.
