I've been enjoying Baldur's Gate 3 SO much and none of my friends have played it, so I've decided to share things onto Tumblr! I'm annoying and want to share/talk about my lovely characters, so I'm gonna share some information about my first character. I honestly want to replay the game and romance every character because I want to experience all the character moments with a character I visualize. If you like this share some info about your characters! I love learning about everyone's Tav/Durge!
My first character:
Gwendolyn Springsong
Gwendolyn is a Half-Elf and she grew up in a small town outside of Baldur's Gate with her Mom, who is a Wood Elf. Gwen is a Bard, College of Lore, and is the leader of the group (in my game/world/lore). Unlike everyone else, cause most my Tav's are gonna have sob stories, Gwen lived a pretty normal life prior to her abduction. Most of her youth involved her questioning her gender, but when she was 12 she knew she was a woman and her Mom supported her in getting the medical care she needs (Gwen didn't originally start as trans, but as a trans woman the more I thought about it the more it made sense). She moved to Baldur's Gate to start Bard College, as she had a natural talent and would play at her local Inn for coin. Gwen then decided to officially stay in Baldur's Gate after graduating, but she visits her mother frequently. The day she was abducted, she was performing for a family outside of Baldur's Gate. Wrong place, wrong time. As she begin to work with new faces and figure out how to rid of the tadpole, Gwen ended up falling into the "leader" role due to her charisma & protectiveness over everyone, and due to how nosey she is. Gwen never felt destined for anything, but somehow destiny found her.
Fun Facts:
Gwen is 36
Gwen is Bisexual, she doesn't necessarily follow the "Bard's are sluts" trope, but she is a disaster bisexual and has too many crushes
If Baldur's Gate had Alignments, Gwen would be Chaotic Good
Gwen is 5'2" (short Queen), she gets her height from her Dwarf father
Gwen's instrument of choice is the Lyre
She is naturally a brunette, but dyed her hair pink since she wanted it to stand out (it's also her favorite color)
Gwen knows some Druid circle practices, since her Mom is a Druid
Her focus is "College of Lore" because she wants to know as many things as she can
Tends to be blindly optimistic & wants to see the good in everyone
Gwen's VERY good at lying and putting a facade on when she's not ok as she normally puts on a positive front for everyone else
Gwen doesn't follow any of the Gods, but she will pray to Selune or Chauntea occasionally
Most charismatic member in the group
Is the group healer, along with Shadowheart
Group dynamics/relationships:
Gwen is best friends with everyone at camp, but questions Minthara's choices A LOT
She loves stealing with Astarion
Everyone tends to express their feelings to Gwen, she's like the group leader & therapist, but Gwen normally only confides in Shadowheart
Originally Astarion & Gwen didn't get along, but the two bonded over their similar taste in wine & impressive skills in breaking into places they probably shouldn't be in
Gwen was the one who prevented Shadowheart from killing Lae'zel
Gwen's blind hope in each group member has led her into dangerous situations which annoys Shadowheart, but is something she also loves about Gwen
As soon as Karlach was able to touch people, Gwen basically gave her a hug every hour
One early night when the group was very drunk, Gwen let it slip that she's had a crush on everyone in the group except for Astarion & Gale
She knows ALL the group dirt & drama
Gwen has met met Wyll's Dad prior to the start of the game, as she has performed at a ball he was at and she is best friends with Charity, one of my other OC's, who comes from a noble fanily
Karlach and Wyll would try to get Gwen to work out with them, but she is not athletic at all and would frequently sneak away
If anyone says anything out of pocket, Gwen makes eye contact with Shadowheart (love a side eye queen)
Gwen would try to read books Gale recommends, but most of them would bore her (so she asks Charity to tell her about the book)
Gwen would, though, find something each member was interested in and try to be good at it/learn more about it
If anyone questioned Gwen's leadership choices, Shadowheart & Lae'zel would instantly back her up. Lae'zel would also make several comments how nice it is to have a woman in charge.
Gwen's Mom knew Jaheira & talked about how heroic she was, so Gwen totally fangirled when she met her, and Minsc
Romance dynamics with Shadowheart & Halsin:
As soon as Gwen met Shadowheart, she had a crush on her. Shadowheart learned of this crush pretty early on and would constantly tease Gwen, until the Teilfing party where they finally kissed
Gwen is in a polyamorous relationship with Shadowheart & Halsin, the three of them are very happy together (they agreed they can sleep with others if they inform the others, but Halsin is really the only one who MAY sleep with another)
Halsin was the one who yearned for Gwen, and when they finally talked about their feelings, Gwen told Shadowheart everything and gave her a speech, to which Shadowheart responded with "so, we both want to climb mount Halsin, huh?" (my bisexual, in my headcanon, queens)
Shadowheart will tease Gwen by calling her "shorty", even though Shadowheart is barely taller than her (in my headcanon)
After they dealt with the parasites, Gwen & Shadowheart find a cozy home in Gwen's hometown and invited Shadowheart's parents to stay with them, Halsin would visit frequently and at some point he just ends up staying
Gwen would wait for Shadowheart to go back to sleep when Shar would hurt her, and if Halsin was there he'd stay up to comfort her (and at some point the pain stops)
Gwen & Shadowheart frequently have everyone over to reconnect
Gwen always worried about Shadowheart's relationship with Shar and would drop subtle hints of worry with Shadowheart, believing at the end of the day Shadowheart would do what was best for her, but whenever Shadowheart directly asked for Gwen's opinion she would SHARE IT
Shadowheart & Halsin would go to Gwen's performance and just talk about how talented and beautiful she was
ALWAYS little spoon, no matter who she is cuddling with
This is everything I could think of at the moment. If you enjoyed this, aw thanks! I just love sharing information about my characters I create in any game! My next OC I'm going to do is Charity!

Into Tormentor’s Cove 🎃
The Autumn festivities were in full swing.
With the wind-down of operations at Laevenir, allies both old and new had arrived at the westward Ynnari haven of Springsong, Neni’Shelwe, in preparation for future campaigns; At the island fastness Yavannie, there was to be a feast in honor of the various emissaries present, including the highly anticipated scions of the Sunblitz Brotherhood and Eldritch Raiders.
All was set to begin as a slip of a ship came down beneath the starry night, settling on a platform high in the White Mountains. A welcoming party was already waiting.
Banners waved by the light of colorful lanterns as two figures stepped forth to address the new arrivals as they disembarked.
One was a woman clad in the blue of Iybraesil. She resembled Nenime, though her hair was shorter, and bound.
“Hail and well met, honored allies. I am the Steward Sulime Arenan,” the woman announced, “& this is Prince Mathlitas, of the Children of Mathlann.”
The other was a youth just recently come into maturity. His dark hair was tousled by the high breeze, but his was a noble bearing.
“Greetings,” the youth inclined his head; his silvery armor shimmered beneath a rich sea-green cloak. “It will be our privilege to see you safely to the celebrations.”
“Springsong welcomes you in the spirit of friendship,” finished Sulime Arenan. “I know my sister and I speak as one when I say we are overjoyed at your arrival.”
