Meet Scar
(the artist)
Scar
INFP ♡ She/Her ♡ 30s ♡ Pansexual
Hello, I'm Scar. I am an ex-gamedev (for now) artist turned illustrator/comic artist.I've been in the games industry for more than 9 years and been doing digital art since 1994. I focused mainly on blood/gore vfx, and if you played TLOU II, you most likely seen my work.My mother taught me how to draw, and I practiced everyday since I was 2, and eventually I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration.For a while I stopped drawing/making art since 2022. I was uninspired and burnt out from my games work (crunch culture, ya know). When I started playing BG3 in 2023, it inspired me to draw again. My PC also broke in December that year, so all I had was my drawing tablet to dabble with. I didn't have distractions so I drew a lot and I missed it so much. I brainrotted with Scar/Astarion fanart and comics - the first iterations.I ultimately started my BG3 accounts around the time my dog passed away this year. It was a really hard time for me, still is, but the BG3 community and friends I made is something I am thankful for. I had my dog since he was 2 months old up until he was 17.5.

Scarlet
The Red Dancer
aka Astarion's Cumdumpster
A dhampir with a complicated past. Scarlet seeks vengeance on whoever put her on that nautiloid. She struggles with her inner turmoil to navigate the world controlling her wrath and thirst.
"My past is... complicated. It's not something I talk about. Ever."
Child of Woe
Scarlet, born as a bhaal-blood dhampir - lived a life riddled with bad luck and misery. As a child of Bhaal, she is cursed not only by her Dark Urges, but the curse of a vampire, struggling with her inner turmoil to do good, but struggling with her innate desire to kill and feed. Bhaal was aware of this when creating her. He wanted to create the perfect vessel who is by birth a natural killer.Scar was born from a pile of gore that a farm couple discovered, just on the outskirts of Evereska. At first, life was alright. She was being raised by a loving family. Went to preschool, and made friends with an Elf, the daughter of a High Elder. The two were bound to the hip, until one day, they had an argument. Scar, not knowing how to control her emotions, had blacked out, only coming to her friend completely ripped apart. Scar had run to her family to let them know what happened, her foster family were fearful of her. Scar, not knowing how to handle the stress and intensity of her feelings inside her, accidentally finds herself having killed them. Her thirst for blood gets the better of her. She was exiled and hunted after the death of her friend, where eventually, she found her way to Baldur’s Gate. She lived on the streets as an Urchin, dancing for petty coin. Then, she was plucked off the streets by a Zhent, later sold to a Judge in Baldur’s Gate, who had abused her during her childhood up until she was an adult The Judge kept Scarlet under a binding spell, which disallowed her from hurting him.Bhaal only once intervened once he was satisfied with her torment, ready for his Chosen to come home. Bhaal wanted Scarlet to suffer, to know not love, but only hate and yearn for brutality. To have her distrust the world. Hate the world. To kill everything in her wake as she was destined to.
DHAMPIR ORIGINS
Bhaal-Blood
Scarlet is a Bhaal-Blood Dhampir, inheriting the divine essence of the Lord of Murder, Bhaal. She was created from Bhaal’s own gore, carefully crafted to not only be his vessel as his Chosen, but molding his bloody essence into her ancestral lineage as part vampire. Her bloodthirst and predatory traits are doubled due to her innate thirst for blood and murder. Scarlet has ashen skin like a corpse, short horns, bright cat-like eyes, sharp dainty fangs and long claws. Her appearance gives off an intimidating, murderous aura, making her an outcast.

This is a specialized type of dancer reserved to those well-versed in the sanguine arts.This peculiar bard entertains with forbidden acts of blood, not something for the fainthearted, and only advised to patrons who can stomach it. Blood Dancers perform bloody footwork, entertaining their guests by using the dancer's own blood to create beautiful displays of blood ribbons, . These dancers are graceful and swift in their footwork, mesmerizing their audience. But through their bloody dance, with their guests mesmerized, leaves the perfect opening on their targets.Blood dancers are flexible, acrobatic, and expert contortionists. Because of their nimbleness, they are experts at evasion and can swiftly avoid unwanted contact.Blood dancing is an art in which Scarlet had created for herself while trapped in isolation. Having no one in her life to teach, train or mentor her, she learned this forbidden art on her own. She's always been fascinated and inspired by blood and gore all her life, that to fully use it in her dance empowers her.Because she is the first to found this art, she has not trained any others.

When Scarlet returned to the Temple of Bhaal and became Bhaal's chosen, she couldn't help but think of her father Bhaal as her savior at the time. She swore an Oath to Bhaal, the Oath of the Devoted Daughter.Scarlet trained with the cultists of Bhaal honing her craft and becoming the heir to the throne as Bhaal's Chosen. She was devoted to her father, and swore to the Tenets of Murder to appease her father, Bhaal, indulging in her insatiable thirst for blood, carnage and power.
"I am your devoted daughter made of your gore and blood. You have shown me that the only thing I can trust is my own hate for the world. I will kill everything in my wake, in your name. I am your Chosen, Father."

When Scarlet was usurped by her blood-kin Orin, this broke her oath. She thus becomes an Oathbreaker at the start in BG3.

Scar Facts
She 'hunts' in the nude. For her it's more practical.
She walks around barefoot - she hates wearing shoes. Astarion calls her feral for this.
She loves to dance, sing and play violin.
Her fangs have a venom that can give her prey ecstasy. It's a way for her to immobilize them. She does not give her prey pain.
If a vampire drinks from her, they are able to experience the venom, not as strongly however if she were to bite one.
She is a Bhaal-blood dhampir variant, meaning she inherits the divine essence of Bhaal. She is a rare variant.
She hates baths, but she's ok with other sources of water such as rivers, springs or oceans.
She has a fear of touch and intimacy.
She hates being bound/constricted.
She hates officials, magistrates, judges, all that. Which she cringed when she found out Astarion was once a magistrate.

She hates the idea of marriage.
Hasn't aged since she turned thirty due to her lineage.
Has no family name.
Scar can't read Common.
She can read Infernal and a little bit of Elvish. It's the only other languages she knows other than Common. She taught herself Infernal by mistake.
She has an aversion to sex and has a low sex drive, contrary to Astarion.
She was raised to be a proper lady, perfect. A doll. It is why she doesn't talk much, which sometimes bothers Astarion. She can be hard to read.

She was born from a pile of gore, that was found by her foster family.
She discovered her thirst for blood at a very young age.
Accidentally killed her childhood best friend.
She is banished from Evereska - her birth city.

She has not cried since she was seven.
She keeps her ponytail always up around others. She hates letting her hair down. It makes her feel vulnerable.
She is well-verse at deception and persuasion, able to talk her way out of most conflicts.
She is an orphan. She hates it when people pity her for it. She doesn't see it as a bad thing.
She keeps her dhampir nature secret along with her age. She's been experimented and abused in the past for it, so she pretends to be a half-elf for "normalcy".
Her love language is words of affirmation and quality time.
She lacks boundaries, but it is something she is working on. This is due to her lack of proper social interactions growing up.
She is callous and blunt. She will say what is on her mind without regards to others' feelings.
She has extreme trust issues. She will connect with your tadpole to really know if what you say you are, you are. She doesn't think of the consequences.
She heals slow. Her abuser made sure to lash at her until her body stopped healing, scarring over her wounds.
She is quiet and very good at reading others.
She never has sex with Astarion. She was turned off by him when he came onto her many times before, and he kept trying, assuming she wanted him.
She doesn't gossip, but she'll listen quietly. Astarion and Shadowheart will gossip with her in Elvish. Scar can understand it, but doesn't speak it well.
She has amnesia, but despite that, her ability to remember is terrible.

GALE | Curious about him. But, he talked too much. She likes listening to his stories, but at some point she needs a TLDR, otherwise she zones out. |
LAE'ZEL | Lae'zel came onto Scarlet very fast and Scarlet declined her. Albeit curious about Githyanki, Scarlet saw her more as a friend. |
JAHEIRA | Wary of Scarlet. Knows what she is and knowing she's not just a bhaalspawn, but also a dhampir, knows her urges are stronger. |

BIOGRAPHY
EARLY LIFE
Born in 1337, the Year of the Wandering Maiden, Scarlet's birth was rather peculiar, she was found in a pile of gore and flesh just on the outskirts of Evereska, and discovered by an Elven couple that lived on a farm. They took her in and raised her, curious about her unusual circumstance. The couple had thought she was a weird little thing, with horns, bright red eyes.When Scarlet was two, she went missing. The couple searched for her, and finally found her in the barn, finding her to have killed one of the sheep. She was feasting on it. They knew something was not right with the child, but did what they could to help domesticate her. They thought perhaps she was a vampire, which, they were close.The farm couple didn't know what it was, but they knew Scarlet needed blood to survive. When they tried to keep blood from her, she grew paler than usual. So, they agreed to let her feed on one of the animals, and trained her to not kill it.They were able to get Scarlet domesticated and to control her cravings. They thought by the time she was four, she was ready to go to school. To learn to socialize with other children. Scarlet did well in pre-school, and made friends. Filauria, an Elven girl, the daughter of a High Elder.Scarlet and the daughter got into an argument and Scarlet, unable to control her feelings of anger and hate, accidentally kills her best friend, just shy of four years. She went to her foster parents, asking for help, but when she saw the fear on their faces, she couldn't handle the feelings of abandonment.Having killed a High Elder's daughter, Scarlet was exiled from Evereska and hunted. She eventually found her way to Baldur's Gate, where she was able to blend in with the culture of the city. She lived at an orphanage, hoping for a better life. It wasn't under her thirst for blood got the better of her and she attacked another child; she was kicked out of the orphanage and was back on the streets, living on the streets as an Urchin, dancing for petty coin.After a few years, a Zhent had picked her off the streets, and Scarlet was sold at an auction to a Judge in Baldur's Gate.
CHILDHOOD
TRIGGER WARNING: Child Abuse, Sexual Abuse
A High Elf elder had bought Scarlet at the auction the Zhents held. He was an esteemed Judge in Baldur's Gate, many looked up to him. However, behind closed doors he was a corrupt Elf.When Judge Rivorn first laid eyes on Scarlet, the first words to come from his lips were "what a pretty little thing." He bought her out of curiosity. She wasn't like the other options at the auction and thought she was the most beautiful.When he brought Scarlet to his estate, he immediately had a room ready for her. There was not much in there, but a bed, a wardrobe, a window, and a tub for bathing.At first she didn't know what to think of the Judge. Should she trust him? But that changed when the Judge brought her to his office and performed a blood ritual on her, binding her to him, body, mind, soul. He knew her thoughts, her feelings, everything. And in turn, she was never to harm him.From then on he had her trained. He hired specific tutors to help with her trainings to become the perfect bride and wife. He didn't give her a proper education, didn't teach her to read, thought those things did not matter, but also wanted to keep her in the dark on many subjects to not give her any resources or power. She only needed to know to be a good wife that listened.Scar had to follow specific rules of the estate:
Always listen.
Never speak unless told to.
Never leave the estate.When Scarlet had turned seven, that was when her life had changed for the worse. He had come home one day and while the servants were bathing her, he pushed them aside and told them to leave. He shut the door and grabbed Scarlet out of the bath, pulling her against her will to her bed. She couldn't fight him due to the binds he had on her. She had to listen.And it was like that every night. Some nights were quiet. When he had a party. Guests over. But most were not.She tries to escape from her window, but ends up falling and breaking her leg. The Judge quickly found out and after a doctor treated her, he locked her away in solitude, in a cold damp room with no light. She wasn't allowed to drink or eat for weeks.
ADOLESCENCE
She was still at the estate, forced to listen to her betrothed.She tried to escape often, but her bindings would keep her there at the estate. The Judge would punish her every time.
She was locked away in solitude at the estate in a small, cold, dark room. She wasn't allowed to eat or drink or feed. Scarlet survived by eating the bugs or vermin that would find her.
In her time of solitude, she discovered and practiced her sanguine arts. Secretly in her solitude, albeit weak, she trained and learned how to control her blood, thus entertwining it with her bardic knowledge.
ADULTHOOD
By the time she became an adult, Scarlet had stopped aging at the age of 30.During the time of the Bhaalspawn crisis, Scarlet was still kept in isolation in the estate. Because of this, she avoided the crisis altogether, without knowing her own origins.When she turns 33, that is when she frees herself from the Judge. He attempts to assault her again, but Scarlet blacks out, only to wake up to his body ripped to shreds. She recalls the feeling, the feelings of those urges she once had when she was a young child. Scarlet wasn't sure what had happened or why, but whatever it was she was thankful to.
STORY ARCS
EVERESKA ARC
🩸She was born outside of Evereska. A farmer family took her in after finding her.
🩸She was able to sustain herself on mortal food, until she needed blood. Her foster family discovered early on after much confusion she is a vampire, perhaps dhampir. They weren't educated enough to understand her race.
🩸They allowed her to feed on the animals in the barn discreetly, but monitored her feedings.
🩸They were loving parents towards her.
🩸Scarlet made friends with someone in Evereska and they were close. Scarlet had to keep her dhampir-ness a secret.
🩸She and her best friend got into an argument one day, which upset Scarlet. Without having any control over her impulses she accidentally killed her best friend.
🩸She goes home to tell her parents, to which frightened them. After their negative reaction, it had triggered Scar and she had accidentally killed them too. She was four.
🩸She was exiled from Evereska. Deemed a monster from the hells.
🩸Scarlet found her way to Baldur's Gate, trying to find a new life. She lived in an orphanage for a while, but accidentally attacked a child for their blood. She didn't have control over her thirst.
🩸She got kicked out and lived on the streets as an Urchin for about three years.
JUDGE RIVORN ARC
🩸A high elf elder, named Rivorn, a judge in Baldur's Gate, discovered her and called her a "pretty little thing." He bought her off some slavers.
🩸Scarlet then lived with Judge Rivorn for 25 years. He forced her into a betrothal, and was waiting until she was "of age" to marry her. But behind closed doors he still treated her however he wanted to.
🩸Rivorn was highly regarded. He was able to bend the law to his will and was very corrupt. He knew Cazador and worked with him, doing corrupt favors. Used to be Astarion's superior when Astarion was a magistrate (small world).
🩸No one knew he had Scarlet captive. He kept her in his estate locked up in her room like a caged bird for 26 years. She wasn't allowed to talk to anyone. Cazador could smell her scent in the estate upon his visits and wanted her for himself, to breed more dhampirs. Judge Rivorn wouldn't allow it and Cazador needed him alive. Knowing the judge was old, Cazador figured he was patient enough to wait out his death.
🩸Scarlet was forced into a betrothal with Judge Rivorn at age seven. The Judge had placed a binding spell on Scarlet, which protected him. She could never do him any harm, and he could compel her when he felt like. She was his plaything, his doll. Scarlet became a victim to CSA rather quickly.
🩸She wasn't allowed to talk back, she wasn't allowed to speak unless told to. She was trained to become a noblewoman to fit the perfect trophy wife role. The Judge never allowed her to learn to read, to cook, anything. He didn't want to her to know anything about the world.
🩸If she ever disobeyed him, tried to run away, he would give her lashings on her back. He never touched any other part of her body since he wanted her to be perfect, so he chose a place where no one would know unless she was naked.
🩸She was locked up in cold small empty cellar for over a year without food, water and blood as punishment for running away. She fed on vermin and bugs when she could find them.
🩸She became frail and skinny. She's already petite.
🩸She never learned to read, but stole an Infernal book from the Judge's library in his house and taught herself to read Infernal secretly.
🩸She taught herself to dance and sing and only did it on her own time to pass time. She wasn't allowed to do anything per the Judge. He wanted her to be a doll.
🩸Judge Rivorn would refuse her blood as punishment and a way to control her. He would leave a piece of meat outside her bedroom door, until she'd give in to his orders. She would wait and smell rotting flesh after a while to which the servants replace. Eventually she would give in and do as he says.
🩸She has trauma with blood and meat diet-wise, so she follows mostly a vegetarian diet and only eats meat/drinks blood when she has to.
🩸When she turned thirty-three, the Judge was going to assault her. Scar blacked out and when she came to, his gore and blood was everywhere and on her.
🩸She took his gold and ran from the estate.
DANCER ARC
🩸After escaping the estate, Scarlet spent her freedom dancing for coin and entertaining guests.
🩸She worked at the Elfsong and Sharess's Caress as an entertainer.
🩸She was nicknamed Untouchable Scarlet due to never letting clients touch her, and she refused sexual/physical contact.
🩸Because it was her first time back in society she found it difficult to control her urges and hunger for blood.
🩸She'll lure guests into a private room and drain them of their blood, while also satiating her urges of murder.
🩸She wandered Faerun, traveling, and dancing. She joined a troupe, performing her unique Blood Dance art for guests, however, misfortune befalls the troupe when she wakes and had murdered them.
BHAAL CULT ARC
🩸Scarlet arrives at the Temple of Bhaal. She meets her Father for the first time, and other cultists.
🩸Scarlet multi-classes into a Paladin, swearing an Oath to Bhaal to be his most devoted daughter and Chosen.
🩸Orin usurps Scarlet.
SCAR TRAUMAS + HEALING
(CW: sex, blood, etc)
🩸Scar suffers from csa.
🩸Never developed proper emotional intelligence since she was isolated for a very long time. She is numb and lacks empathy. Lacks self-awareness.
🩸She dissociates often.
🩸After her abuser dies, she avoids sex and any potential relationships like the plague.
🩸Has a fear of touch and fear of intimacy.
🩸When she meets the companions, she starts to learn more of empathy. She gets to know the others and try to understand things from their point of view. But sometimes can be callous.
🩸She tries to show kindness where she can, when she tries to become a better person.
🩸She knows what it's like to not have autonomy over oneself. It is how she and Astarion can relate to one another.
NOTE: This is all still WIP.
PERSONALITY
Upon first meeting her, you'll think she comes from nobility. She's soft spoken, hardly shows emotion, and is practically like a doll. She hates it when people only recognize her for her appearance, calling her a pretty thing. She knows she's pretty, but she wants to be noticed for more.Impulsive, secretive, unpredictable. Scar learned at a young age to not feel, that feeling nothing is the safest thing to feel. She lacks empathy because of her upbringing and the life she lead, full of sorrow and woe. This makes it difficult to tell what the motivations are behind her actions. She can be hard to read. However, despite her cold and distant demeanor, if someone is able to break pass the walls she's built, they will find she does have a kindness buried deep in her heart. She is considerate and has compassion, she just needs the right teacher.While traveling with her companions, at the start she was very distant and cold, and only had them around for means of survival. But, after listening to their banter, she found herself bantering with them and giving sassy remarks, discovering new sides of herself. For the first time she found something to care for. Listening to their stories, helping them through their journeys.
APPEARANCE
Hair red like blood. Cat-like eyes, bright red, glows in the dark. Horns on her head. Ash pale skin. Small fangs, upper and lower. She hardly smiles or lifts her lips, she tries to keep her fangs hidden. Fingers black like a corpse's at the tips with long claw-like nails. Elf-like ears. Wears plum lipstick and red eyeshadow. Loves the color pink, but only wears red, knowing it's the best color that looks good on her. Scars on her back, but everything else is flawless. Some freckles.

MEETING ASTARION
First Encounter
🩸Scarlet was trapped like a bird in a cage in her room at the estate, and because she wasn't allowed any hobbies or interests, she people watched from her small window.
🩸She picked up on people's habits, routines, namely a white haired elf she was curious of. At the start of the night, he seemed tired, sad. And on the way back home she noticed someone new every night on his arm and a forced smile on his face.
🩸Her window was sealed so she could never make herself known to him.
Second Encounter
🩸She first meets Astarion at a masquerade hosted by Cazador.
🩸She went to the masquerade with her betrothed at the time, it was her first appearance in public and her first time in a social setting.
🩸Astarion, prior to the ball, was tasked by Cazador to kill her betrothed and lure her.
🩸Astarion goes through the same routine of trying to lure Scarlet, but grows intrigued by her. He instead lets her go.
“With this spell, he knows my thoughts, feelings, everything. It’s why I have to pretend to be the perfect doll. Even while I talk with you, I have to focus on another part of my mind with a false lie.”
Third Encounter
🩸After running from the estate, she found herself in a night market in Baldur's Gate
🩸She found a pair of earrings she really liked at a merchant's stall, but she wanted to stay frugal. She didn't have an occupation, and needed to find a place to stay with the gold she had stolen from her now dead abuser.
🩸An elf bought the earrings and she was sad a bit, but he gave them to her. She only caught a glimpse of his hair and eyes. But never got his name. She remembered he seemed sad, like an empty husk.
🩸Since that day she wore those earrings, in hopes whoever bought them for her would recognize them.
Fourth Encounter
🩸After the nautiloid crash, before talking to him, Scarlet was thirsty and needed to feed. She couldn't find anything, but dead bodies after the crash that weren't appealing to her tastes.
🩸She hears someone in the distance and follows the noise, while keeping to the foliage. She sees Astarion and somewhat recognizes him, but doesn't dwell on it.
🩸She was thirsty for blood and needed it desperately. She sneaks up on him, and he catches her.
🩸Astarion finds her familiar, but doesn't try hard to remember.
Click above to read fic!
🩸Astarion wakes from his nightmare, wanting to test the limits of his newfound perks as a vampire spawn; to try feeding on thinking creatures against his Master's orders.
🩸He thinks to himself wondering who would be the 'safest' and perhaps delectable option. He opts for Scarlet, who seemed soundly asleep, albeit being riddled by nightmares back to back.
🩸He leans in for a taste, when suddenly her eyes snap open and she headbutts him.
🩸She was angry he intruded her personal space, moreso than the fact he tried to bite her.
🩸She does let him bite her, but with the rule: "Don't touch. Only bite."
"Really? Because what it looks like is you were coming in for a nibble."
Tiefling Party
🩸Tries to woo Scarlet again. He's been trying to woo her for a few days now, and she kept turning down his advances.
🩸Scarlet humors him and agrees to see him after the party and everyone's gone to sleep.
🩸When she gets there, he puts on his usual 'act'. Scarlet sees through it immediately and tells him she just wants to chat.
🩸Astarion gets frustrated by this - thinking his 'plan' is ruined. Scarlet then tells him she doesn't like to be touched or intimacy. She just wants to get to know him better.
🩸This was outside his comfort zone and not something he was prepared for; he was prepared for her to throw herself at him.
🩸He eventually agrees to do things 'her way'.
!!In this house we support both spawn and ascension Astarion!!
Spawn
🩸They both end up living together in their own home in Baldur's Gate.
🩸They travel together, both having lived restricted lives before.
🩸Scarlet dances to entertain again, Astarion hunts down criminals. Sometimes may even bring Scarlet along~
~And, I am making a comic (nsfw)!! I have a post-game comic in progress - the wips are on my patreon! It explores their relationship further while also being quite... spicy.
Ascension
🩸There are multiple endings. For Ascension there is an idea I am exploring where Scarlet becomes a vampire hunter. Because she's a dhampir, it only makes sense.
🩸Scarlet refuses his 'gift' because she saw more downsides than up. She's a dhampir - she can already walk in the sun, cross running water, immortal, she doesn't share as many weaknesses as normal vampires do. For her the decision was practical. For Astarion, it was disrespectful.
🩸They end up splitting up, and she trains to become a vampire hunter.
🩸To be continued~
"Oh, a vampire hunter, are we? Fighting the monster while being one yourself. How ironic." - AA

Tav/Durge Questionnaire
WIP
1. Scarlet is a dhampir, Bhaal-blood variant. She is a Bard, College of Blood Dance, Oathbreaker. She/her. Chaotic Neutral.
2. Her blood-kin usurped her and she was trapped in a pod for sometime.
3. Astarion.
4. Shadowheart. She was romantically interested at some point, but found friendship in Shadowheart. She struggles with Karlach and Wyll.
5. Alfira. Because of her amnesia, she was unable to control her urges. For the first time she hates herself for it.
5. Scarlet has a few endings.
With Spawn Astarion, they live together, while he works again in Baldur's Gate, and she dances/entertains again. With Ascended Astarion she doesn't agree to be his consort, mainly because she already has perks as a dhampir. She has no reason to become his consort other than through 'marriage'. They separate due to disagreeances and she becomes a vampire hunter. Will they reconnect however? Hm.
7. No. She is an orphan. She murdered her first friend, so she avoids getting close to others.
8. Disintegrate. She loves to obliterate her foes.
9. Overcoming her father, Bhaal, becoming her own person.
10. Yes. She grew up wearing boring restricted noble dresses and prefers clothing that is free flowing and comfortable.
11. Tombs. She felt home there. Rivers/night sky overlooks.
12. She doesn't trust anyone. So she told Raphael to fuck off.
13. Bhaal, but she can't remember why.
14. She's had a long life. But right before the game, she
15. Alfira. Dammon. Isobel. Isobel helped her fight her urges.
16. Mysterious white haired elf man she met once before long ago. Oddly enough looks similar to Astarion.
17. Full of woe.
18. Unable to control her affliction, unnecessary deaths.
19. "Fuck off."
20. I love her evil expressions.
21. Words of Affirmation. Quality Time.
22. Touch. Intimacy.
23. Upon seeing them at Moonrise she couldn't help but feel a familiarity towards them.
Ketheric Felt she knew him. Couldn't remember why. But felt she wanted revenge.
Gortash Familiarity. Were they lovers once? Close friends? Contexts lost on her.
Orin Not hate, but pity.
24. Her earrings. She got them from a stranger long ago after she escaped the estate. Her Guardian looks similar to the Elf that gave her the earrings.
25. She comes from Evereska. She came to Baldur's Gate after being exiled for murder.
26. The dark urge.
27. Astarion's Confession. She never allowed herself to be close to anyone. She felt she didn't deserve him. She and Astarion also have not slept together as he agreed to do things 'her way'. She'd let him feed on her if he needed it, but physical wise didn't want to do anything. His confession threw her off. It made her question her own feelings for him. She dumps him and walks away from him, leaving him broken hearted. She couldn't figure out her complex feelings. It was the first time she ever felt something unfamiliar to her: love. And it was something she feared.
28.
29. The entertainment, sing, dance, violin. She can't cook.
30. Alt endings. One, she rejects her father and she destroys the netherbrain. But she was very close to taking that power for her own.
The other, she accepts her father, and takes control of the netherbrain, allowing herself to be consumed by power.

Pretty Particles Update, Waterfalls and Fixes
New spells | My biggest grief was running around Faerun trying to find waterfalls for pretty shots. NOT ANYMORE. Waterfalls are here! Waterfall Wall, Waterfall Circle, Waterfall (standard, z-forward), Waterfall Short.
To install | Unpack zip using BG3MM or unpack and put in your BG3 mods folder. Load order must be near top - unsure which mod discrepancy it has.
All directional vfx assets will always be Z forward. To best utilize these features:
1) Place an item in the world.
2) Hold down left-mouse-click on item and use scroll wheel to rotate item to perfectly place fx.
FIXES
1) The spells 'Pretty Particles' and 'Pretty Filth' (character blood, sweat, dirt fx) are now separated into their own spell slots as cantrips. - Still all in the same mod, just more organized.
2) Particles no longer use the 'Darkness' nor 'Cure Wounds' parent spells; they are now their own standalone parent spell for cleaner UI.
3) Cleaned up scripting, delete unused assets.
4) Wisps are now bigger in radius - so more camera space for photos.
Caveats / Known Issues
You must use 1 item in your scene to attach the spell to.
WISPS and Waterfall Circle work best when attached to 1 item.
Does not work for Dhampir race and other custom races. Please let me know which race you use. Only works with vanilla races.
Character sweat FX might not work with Unique-Tav Bodies - only on heads. - THIS MIGHT NOT BE A BUG? This seems to only affect the sweat. Blood and Dirt ok.
Pumpkin Patch FX could get floating pumpkins/not attached to ground.
Water ripples might float - but it should snap to ground.
If you don't see VFX spawning, please check your load order! It must be near top.
Also if there's any feedback for the mod, feel free to comment or DM me. I'm making a list of bugs to fix for the vfx and what other vfx to include in the mod.

A little. At first, Scar was based on my Vtuber personality and design, which is a reflect of what I do IRL with blood and gore vfx work. I became known as the 'Blood Queen' in my field of work, and tied that into Scarlet's lore.Is Scar your real name?
No, an alias! If you do know my real name, please use Scar on online platforms.How did you come to make Scar?
Scarlet had an identity crisis in our first playthrough. So it's a bit of a mix between my work IRL, Tav (1st run) and the Dark Urge (2nd run). Before I created Durge Scar, I had a Tav before Scar who had a identity crisis name-wise. She started off Natmi, then Violette, then finally Scarlet. Her origin is that of a blood queen/deity, and this was before I knew about the whole Bhaal shenanigans. When I created Durge Scarlet, I was astounded how perfect Durge was for her, it was similar to her story in my fanfic and I was like wtf is this. So I evolved her story even further with some Bhaal origins. So that was a very nifty coincidence. Since then I've been attached to her and it's very difficult for me to make a playthrough without her lol.

Yes, I have a BFA in Illustration.What drawing tools do you use?
I use Adobe Photoshop CS6, Clip Studio Paint and Wacom Cintiq Pro 36". My traditional work is used with watercolors, ink, pencil, and gouache.When did you start drawing?
Since I was a baby (lol). Jk, I was about 2 years old. My mother taught me how to draw, she is also an artist. I started digital art when I was 4 years old with MS Paint, later Photoshop 2.0. I got my first tablet when I was 15.Are you accepting commissions?
Please DM me to see if I am available.Do you take requests or art trades?
Art requests are available on my discord + patreon. Patrons get more priority. Art trades, please DM.What are your thoughts on AI?
So I know my website says uwu.ai, and if you're a weeb, you'd understand the context. I however don't like AI generative content (writing, art, etc). It's taking jobs away from many creatives, thus leaving us with no work, and it steals from artists.

PATREON Faq
Can former patrons use a discount?
Yes! Just let me know your username on patreon so I can check your eligibility.How many times can I use a discount?
For former Patrons, one time.For current patrons, once a month. So, if you commission me at the 3 month mark, you get a 10% discount. If you commission again at month 4, you get the 10% discount again. Then 6 months you get upgraded to 15%, 9 months 20%, then 1 year 30% - which accrues into the next year as long as you are a member.What if I unsub? Do I keep the discount if I were to re-sub?
Yes! So if you unsub at 3 months, you can use your discount of 10% one time. Then if you re-sub, you can use that 10% again up until you get upgraded to the 15%. So let's say you unsub after 1 month membership, that still counts, so if you resub, you have 2 more months to get the 10% discount. Un-subbing does not reset your discount progressWhat if I skip a month using the discount? Or what if your comms are closed?
Here's what we'll do - you can stack the discounts with a cap of 60%. I'll have to see if this works so it'll be an experiment.As a Patron, do the discounts accrue into the next year?
Yes! Even as a 1 month sub, you'll keep your accruals. And at 1 year mark, the 30% discount accrues into the next year. Discounts will not 'restart'. This is a way for me to say thank you for supporting my work.
