Reymera (Notes)

Notes, not yet translated to her profile:

Ship Notes:

• Very much a one sided love at first sight/infatuation on her part.
  • Despite being a walking talking red flag he sets off no warning bells in her head
  • It’s fucking weird
• He views this as an opportunity to bring someone to his side in case the others disagree with/turn on him for whatever reason
  • Picks her as his "target" after the incident with Alfira. Since, out of everyone else in the group so far, she is in no position to pass judgement.
  • Doesn't really like her much when they first meet.
  • Backfires on him hilariously later on.
• She bristles a bit over Araj, the drow in Moonrise.
  • Tells her to ask him about what he wants to do, he's a grown ass man and his own person after all.
  • Though she does question it when he declines her offer.
  • Which sparks the later conversation where his initial intentions towards Reymera come to light.
• Said conversation involves him thanking her for treating him like a person and pushing him to make his own choices. Opens up a bit about how he'd do things for his master and just repress his disgust over it.
  • Her dumbass: "And why did you sleep with me?"
  • Him: "I needed someone on my side and seducing you was easy. So imagine my surprise when I started to genuinely feel something for you."
  • She wishes she'd never asked. It hurts a lot to hear but she isn't exactly surprised.
  • She fucking hates herself for not seeing it though. If anything, it helps to confirm how she'd already felt about herself.
  • He was just doing what came naturally to him, because, survival mode.
  • And she just, shows him care and support. Because she does care after all.
• She does not let the hurt show, but it does come up after her unfriendly Fey tries to force her into killing him a couple days later.
  • Because, well, people are honest when they're terrified.
  • And she was fucking terrified.
• He uses removing the Fey as an argument towards completing the ritual while he's still mulling over what he wants to do.
  • She still disagrees with the idea. Hard.
  • Though if he did end up going through with it she'd agree to the idea afterwards.
• After the end of the story, Reymera has to adjust her sleep schedule to account for his not so minor issue with the sun.
  • And get used to the rest of his side effects
  • She forgets to invite him inside a few times and her neighbors start thinking he's just a creep hanging outside her door until a. she catches on and b. he fucking says something to her about it.
• Some fifty or so years after the story ends while hunting down a relic Reymera ends up getting bitten and infected when the search takes her into a vampire den.
  • Given her history, Rey'd volunteered to serve as a distraction. Did not 100% go the way the group had anticipated, but as a result some of the party get out relatively unharmed.
    • "There's only one time where her guard will be down. We've got a short window, better make it count."
    • And, they got the artifact after killing the lady who bit her during the act itself so it wasn't an entire loss.
  • The trip back home is rather long and full of cave hiding though.
  • Queue a long, uncomfortable conversation with Astarion after she gets home about them being eternally stuck with one another.
  • He generally goes with her for work but had his own issues to deal with at the time. Not that he could have prevented it.
  • "I can't leave you alone for five minutes can I?"
  • She makes a comment along the lines of "at least the change doesn't do much to my appearance, my eyes were already red. Right?"
• Reymera does kick herself for it for a while afterwards, given the past experiences they'd had killing vampires.
• But, there is a bright side, the whole ordeal dealt the the Fey issue.
  • Because she'd technically died the Fey left her.
• Makes the next meetup with the surviving members of their party that much funnier.
  • "We know what you were planning to do, so, did you wish reeeeeeally hard?"
    
    
• Act 1
• Aside from some flirting and her allowing him to feed off her, their "relationship" doesn't really start until after the party settles the issue between the Goblins/Teiflings/Druids.
• The celebration afterwards serves as the perfect opportunity for him to get her wrapped around his finger.
• Relationship is fairly superficial to begin with.
  • He is trying to get something out of her after all.
  • Pointed flirting, no active attempts to share any of his own personal information.
    • Save for his scars, there's isn't much of a window to skirt around that.
  • Lack of interest in her outside of manipulations to keep her interested/attentive.
  • He actually doesn't really even like her when it all begins, she's just a potential opportunity and a means to an end.
  • "Seducing you was surprisingly easy."
• Act 2
• It starts to actually grow into something as the party travels through the Shadow Cursed Lands (act 2)
  • Their dynamic changes noticeably. Even more so after dealing with Raphael and Araj.
    • Neither of them really know how to be in an actual partnership with someone else.
    • It's awkward, but kind of cute if you're an outside party.
  • Less pointed flirting and more real dialogue. 
  • Actually lets her learn little bits about him.
  • He's willing to actually spend time in her company.
  • He drops the seduction angle all together.
    • In general, things take a "there are other forms of intimacy than just sex." angle.
    • Especially after he'd opened up about the feelings of disgust about it during their little heart to heart. 
    • You know, the one where he opens up about his trauma a few days before she attempts to kill him.
• Act 3
  • There's actually a friendship that's grown under all of this, thus making their interactions with one another that much smoother.

• She’s supportive of him, but will call him on his bullshit when the situation calls for it.
• When he makes the comment about no longer remembering what he looked like before and not being able to see himself the way he is now Rey decides to do a sketch of him. 
  • It takes a few days. She tries to do it without him noticing.
  • Did a variation of it with a fucked up nose to dissuade him from snooping through her sketchbook.
• Heights 
  • Astarion 5'9"
