I’ll do Paupricosh for this, as she’s my favorite.

1. I loved tieflings, bards, and I wanted to see Riolu be a doting dad.

2. Close ties to all of them, especially her daddy and uncles Rhos and Sunshadow.

3. Probably her daddy. She’s a total daddy’s girl.

4. Mostly time spent in Harvest Wood and learning about her music, spent a bit of time at Sunshadow’s church though to see him.

5. Peacock. She loves the pretty feathers.

6. Yes. She tends to let her emotions decide the majority of her decisions.

7. Any of her family really. Though there are a couple of her party mates that she’d certainly like to keep around.

8. Do pastries count? If not, then a half-orc girl from her early teens.

9. Great. Big. Hug.

10. 22

11. She’s very bipolar and goes from sweet-as-candy to vindictive in a heartbeat.

12. Not very well

13. She doesn’t believe in luck. Random chance more.

14. Winter’s Crest. She is the best Secret Sarenrae 🙂

15. Breakfast in bed and a warm hug on a Sunday morning.

16. Nobody at the moment.

17. A set of butterfly wings, an infinite supply of fruit pastries, and her own dress shop/bakery with her girlfriend Gruvia.

18. Her Flourishes are some of her favorite tactics, but in a pinch she’ll Overdrive. Favorite spells include Burning Hands and Green Flame Blade.

19. She’s a dominant person in bed, and finds it adorable how submissive her Goliath-Orc girlfriend is, even though Paupricosh is a good 2 feet shorter.

20. She could be a sex addict or be overly fond of pastries.

21. Yes. Playing her feels very right.

For anyone curious, I have 3 main characters I’ve used for D&D over the years (4 if we count my original, but I usually don’t talk about him).

This is Riolu Ungart, my second character I played. He is a half drow (mom’s side), half hill dwarf (dad’s side) genderfluid Circle of the Moon Druid from a place in the Fey Wild dubbed Harvest Wood (it’s always harvest season there and it’s gorgeous).

Later in life he gained a level of Monk when he started becoming more comfortable in combat, and his last level was Life Domain Cleric in honor of his best friend, Tabaxi Warforged Paladin Michael Sunshadow.

He’s a vegetarian, and through much study he attained the Owlbear wildshape and it quickly became his favorite.

His favorite foods are Herbal Tea, Apple Ale, Apple Crumble and Stinky Tofu, and his least favorite foods are Miso anything and really dark whiskeys.

He’s Pansexual and Polyamorous, and believes that love is something to be shared with everyone willing to participate in it, and thus has never married but instead has a harem of people from just about every race and identity.

This is my 3rd character, Paupricosh Padparadscha-Ungart (her companions call her Poppy), Riolu’s daughter he had with Rosemary Padparadscha toward the end of his adventures. She is a tiefling (due to Rosemary’s genes) and is a College of Swords Bard and Sun Soul Monk (aka, she has Hamon. My new dm helped me homebrew the Overdrive for her:pictured left hand).

She is a lesbian, and tends to be the dominant one in relationships. She has a thing for Half-Orc and Goliath women predominantly, and finds it adorable when she’s able to find a submissive partner.

She is in a relationship with the Half-Goliath Half-Orc (Goliath instead of Human) Blood Hunter/Barbarian foodie Gruvia Goremond, and one day hopes to open a dress shop/bakery with her.

She is transgendered and genderfae, and her daddy Riolu was nothing but supportive of her when she was transitioning, even commissioning one of his friends to help her transition through the use of True Polymorph (although she isn’t yet comfortable with transforming her genitalia, but they were perfectly fine with that, and let her know that if the day ever comes when she is, they would help her).

She grew up in a fairly well-rounded environment with Riolu and all of his friends and partners who taught her a number of skills and philosophies (although she had no idea what a human was until she was 22).

She is very bipolar and has no such thing as a small emotion. Due to her upraising in the Feywild, any happiness emotes as utter elation, anger as unbridled rage, etc.

She goes between Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral at the drop of a hat, and can be quite vindictive when she’s in one of her moods (which is usually roleplayed with her Cruel feat). her spirit animal is the Bull-Headed Shrike.

Like her daddy, she makes all of her own clothes (but doesn’t have the advantage of being able to become a spider and made silk like her dad). She is pictured in her Buttercup Dress with her Poppy Poncho she tailored from a cultist robe she “commandeered”.

Her favorite foods are any fruit-based pastries and Rose Wine, and her least favorite foods are pickles and anything pickled.

She is allergic to Petunias (still loves them) and Tobacco (hates it).

I adore Paupricosh, and am incredibly emotionally attached to her.

This is my 4th and most recent character, Roku Softpaw. He is a Goliath Panda Ranger (level 1 right now) Bounty Hunter traveling around the world hunting the band of Orc-Gnolls that attacked his home village.

He goes around hunting for gold and for food (one of his side goals is to eat every type of meat the world has to offer).

His favorite foods are pork dumplings and any dark whiskey, and his least favorite foods are bamboo (to break that stereotype), and common human (he finds them tough and stringy and only suitable for making jerky).

His only trait he looks for in a partner is they have to be able to beat him in a fight (bonus points if they can beat him within an inch of his life)

He’s still fairly recent, and I’m still learning about him. I greatly look forward to seeing what kinds of adventures he gets into when the campaign he’s in starts up in March.

This is the 4th and newest of my D&D ocs, Roku Softpaw the Goliath Panda Ranger (same stats and abilities as a Goliath, just in a fluffier body, also speaks Sylvan instead of Giant).
He’s a bounty hunter on a pilgrimage, constantly stopping at taverns for casks of whiskey and pork ‘dumplins’, as well as whatever else he can find to eat.
