OMG UR DND CHARACTER IM LOVE

plsplspls say more about her i am so interested and she looks so funky

aha thank you! lish is my character for my friend’s homebrew d&d campaign, the dawn of solaire. messy sketch + lore dump below the cut:

lish goes by “lish” because it’s easier to say “my name is lish like fish,” than it is to say “i’m lorelai melara ishalath of house malagath.” she’s a triton noblewoman from the underwater empire of tyria.

she’s an only child who wanted for very little growing up except affection and attention. she’d always dreamed of being a trophy wife, but became infatuated with bards when she visited the surface as a child with her father and saw how they commanded the room when they performed and were showered with applause.

lish learned the bardic arts as a hobby, but as a tyrian noblewoman, her main priority was securing a husband of equal or higher status. when lish was around fifteen years old, she became deeply infatuated with a twenty year old nobleman, zahras malagath. he had little interest in her, but saw the value in marrying her as a status symbol, so he married her when she came of age.

their marriage is not a good one (to say the least) and also very one-sided. lish’s feelings of love are not reciprocated, and zahras is cold and controlling even by tyrian standards. lish is in complete denial about this, though.

things got worse between them, and lish, in typical lish fashion, she decided to run off to the surface, hoping to punish zahras with her absence, because what can be worse than that? she thinks he’ll come find her, tell her how much he needs her and misses her, and bring her home.

but it’s been months now, and she’s still waiting for that to happen. she hasn’t given up hope, though—but in the meantime, she has to find a way to support herself on the surface (the horror).

she joins up with a guild to make money and get her name out there, hoping that word will reach tyria about her activities and whereabouts on the surface, and someone, anyone will come for her.

(she also has a magical soulmate, beefs with her best friend’s triton girlfriend like they’re two betta fish in the same bowl, and is fighting an evil cult trying to bring stuff back from the dead. but uhhh that’s a whole other story.)
