The fact that Karlach calls herself “momma K” and the fact that when she finds that little hopscotch drawing in the blighted village, she sings the little song and the fact that she has a favorite teddy bear and the fact that any time one of the companions is faced with an impossible choice or adversity, her first reaction is to protect and defend - it just makes me love her more. If you recruit her before Wyll, she immediately forgives him and asks you to let him stay despite him having hunted her for so long. She’s so kind, she’s so fun and she loves with everything she has despite having her heart literally and metaphorically ripped from her chest by someone she cared for. She tells you she loves you, even if you don’t romance her. I fucking love this character and I think about her all the time - about how it’s so easy to be bad and angry and hardened and, while she is very angry, she doesn’t let that stop her from being good or doing what’s right. They didn’t break her, Karlach is indestructible because of the very thing that was stolen from her - her gigantic fucking heart. She’s also incredibly wise and insightful - hearing her opinions on anything never disappoints. She is proof that “good” characters will always be compelling and I love her.
