I made a character sheet for Harmony on DnDBeyond and then was like… let’s just give her a character sheet. And draw all her inventory. And then her big sister, who is a beefy barbarian badass always having wild adventures. Stay tuned for when I draw her parents, a husband and wife black smith team.
Again, I don’t even play DnD. There’s no one around me who does. I just have this character I deeply love ready to go at all times.
Leda wasn’t sure exactly how much she rolled up of the herb but that first hit had bite.
It had been awhile since she’d thought about… well her.
Moving forward was just what Leda did best, so it had taken this long for her to realize that she had never let herself cry about that day. It had only been, what, four years?
Damn.
She puffed out and watched the result dissolve into the air.
Do people… get over loss? Do they ever really… get to be okay? It just seemed very implausible of a concept, being okay.
She took another drag and sighed. She looked over this funky town and tried to smile but her mouth might as well have been weighted down to an anchor cast off a boat. She felt her eyes spill over just enough so that wiping them with her sleeve was necessary to appear… dignified maybe, if she had cared to be.
All worked up over a stupid, off-hand comment by uncultured riff raff. Leda knew it was beneath her to be hurt by such a thing and normally would have easily gotten past it and on to the next challenge. So why couldn’t she this time?
She cursed herself as she absentmindedly bit into her cheek. The next puff was tinted red.
They say marriage changes a lot about a person. Maybe her younger, more naive, self believed in some soul mate garbage, or light forbid, fate, but it had been four long years of fallout and Leda now knew that not everyone actually gets to live out their happily ever afters.
Leda snickered and ground out the butt of the joint, under her foot.
Me: ok cool *literally just says the lyrics of Short Skirt/Long Jacket by Cake*
needless to say, I’ve been thinking about this all day and have over analyzed this to try to determine exactly what this character would be. So class:
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond I want a girl who knows what’s best
Its clear from these lines that she has high intelligence and wisdom. Intelligence is emphasized with the lines “
She is fast and thorough/And sharp as a tack” and considering she is fast she likely has high dexterity.
So this is a Dex/Wisdom/Intelligence build which makes me think that she is a ranger. She may, however be using a dueling fighting style instead of archery, since later lines say she “uses a machete” so she clearly has still with one-handed weaponry.
Her alignment is suggested in two instances. One being “With fingernails that shine like justice.” Though this doesn’t necessarily mean she idealizes justice, this can be implied. So she is on the good end of the good/evil spectrum, and because she “uses a machete to cut through red tape” she clearly is not lawful. She does not get bogged down with bureaucracy but cuts through it. There is not other indications that she chaotic, so I am inclined to call her neutral, making her neutral good.
Her race is harder to pin down, but given that she was “eyes that burn like cigarettes,” that may suggest that she was red or orange eyes. This means Drow or Tiefling. Now, given that she also has, “shoes that cut” this could suggest that she has sharp hooves, meaning Tiefling. I would also point out that she changes her name from Kitty to Karen, and Tiefling are known for taking on new names.
So TL:DR, the girl with a short skirt and long jacket is a neutral good tiefling ranger named Karen who specializes in a dueling fighting style
