Something I Think About Is Khalid’s Mother
Something I think about is Khalid’s mother
Because in the first game in Khalid’s background she is not mentioned at all, and in siege of dragonspear she is mentioned as ‘not thinking much of him’ but to a lesser extent than his father did who we all agree was a POS
1. What was she like?
like her life probably sucked a lot.
She was an elven concubine in a country that is pretty much devoid of any other elves, and so she was seen as exotic, which is probably why Khalid‘s father had her as a concubine in the first place.
She would always be below his actual wife and I won’t get into all of the horrible things that could’ve happened to her prior or during this time
And then on top of everything, she has a illegitimate kid with the dude!
I doubt Khalid’s father or his wife (mother of Khalid’s half brothers) was particularly interested in raising him, so it was probably all on her.
So now on top of her life already probably sucking, she has this kid in a world that is guaranteed to be hostile towards him because he is considered lower by default.
There’s no way she could protect him from that even if she did try.
Maybe there was a combination of resentment of having another thing on her plate to take care of but also guilt about having this kid that she feels is guaranteed to have a miserable life
2. Was their relationship purely indifference and neglect or was there some love?
Is it possible that she walled herself off from him so that when he was inevitably hurt it didn’t hurt her as much? Like self protection so she only had to feel her own hurt
Were there good moments? Where she would protect him or comfort him in ways she felt she could?
Maybe she held some hope that because his father was of the merchant class Khalid would get further than she could only to have those hopes crushed within her lifetime
3. How does Khalid feel about her?
Maybe he is a bit overly forgiving of her actions because of he knows her circumstances (Which probably annoys Jaheira lol)
Maybe there’s some resentment for not being the mother he needed but he feels guilty about having those feelings
Maybe she just fades into the background of his childhood
There’s so many possibilities because we know nothing about her so we get to fill in the blanks!

I really need to draw her annoyed because while she is baby she is also a bit passive aggressive lol
If she was in Bg3 she’d be the time to tell Astarion when he’s complaining
“wait- listen-“

“Isn’t it wonderful?"
Some expression practice with my OC Evune
I think I might make rp blog for her (and my Durge, but mostly her because she’s the favorite lol) we’ll see if I get around to that ;-; it also would be nice to have a separate place to put her too for organizational purposes
I just found out that dynaheir and bastila share the same voice actor which makes sense because they’re both BioWare but I’m shocked- my old hyperfixation of KOTOR once again coming back
