@tolkien-fantasy : [ match report ready ]

your match is…

✦ Karlach

-> [ Karlach is someone who can match your energy very well. ] She’s the passionate sort, loves living life to the fullest… especially after managing to escape Avernus. She’s the positive sort that aims to keep pushing forward no matter the obstacle. Karlach would be able to easily feed off your spunky, ambitious energy - and vice versa. She’s happy if she’s able to keep your energy up, or lift you up when you’re feeling down. Your lives are full of difficulties already, only becoming more complicated with the mindflayer tadpole mess - so it’s nice to have someone who can really resonate with you.

-> [ Very empathetic to your chronic illnesses. ] Though her situation is not quite the same, she can relate to the struggles of being stuck with a condition that places limits on how you’re able to experience the world around you, a condition that makes living in your own body difficult. Karlach is able to take your ups and downs in stride - there may be a quick flash of pity when you’re not feeling well, but she doesn’t ever treat you like you’re incapable. That said, she insists that you let her know if there’s anything at all that she can do for you - she’d be happy to help!

-> [ Karlach insists that she’s not the most well-read, but she’s happy to absorb some of your knowledge. ] She’s very much the type to happily listen to whatever you might want to talk about - especially considering your wide range of interests. She feels like she’s always learning something new when she’s with you! Honestly, she didn’t have many opportunities to really dig into different subjects and study them, so a lot of the information you know is new to her. Sure, there are a few topics that can get a little difficult for her to follow if they’re particularly complex, but even in those cases she’s happy to just listen to your voice and try to comprehend as much as she can.

-> [ Karlach is the type to run headfirst into battle right alongside you. ] No judgment from her here - though you two may land yourselves into trouble at times because of this. Ah, well, you two can patch each other up after the battle. If needed, she can and will take hits for you. She knows you’re physically strong and capable of handling yourself, but she can’t help but worry about you. She knows that she can take some heavy hits anyway, so it just feels natural for her to step in. Your fighting styles also compliment each other quite well - with you providing magical damage while she hits enemies hard with weapons.

-> [ Honestly… she won’t lie, she really enjoys when you take care of her. ] Karlach has been on her own for a long time and hasn’t really had the chance for someone else to pamper her. She’s so used to not relying on anyone that it almost feels a little foreign at first, having someone so lovingly dote on her. While it takes her a bit to get used to it, she ends up just totally melting whenever you do things for her, whether it be making her food, tending to her wounds, helping her pitch her tent, or (when she’s not literally scorching hot to the touch) cuddling her and holding her close when she craves physical touch.

-> [ Speaking of cooking - she absolutely loves trying anything you make! ] She has her preferences and favorites, but she’s still pretty adventurous when it comes to food. Whenever you try out a new recipe, she insists on being your taste tester. Sometimes meals get a little… “creative” due to the fact that the group is largely foraging for ingredients, though occasionally you’re able to buy some meat or artisan goods when you’re passing through a town or larger settlement. Karlach isn’t much help with the actual cooking itself, but she’s happy to go foraging with you. Four hands are better than two!
