But that might have been a non-D&D RPG, cause I know at one point we also played 1-on-1 with some d6 system, and I’m not sure if that was the same character or not. The first one I know for sure was a D&D character was a monk in a one-shot with the same DM and another friend of ours. I remember we took shelter from a storm in a cave and fought some rats, and not much else. Neither character was particularly noteworthy, more or less just self-inserts.My most recent character is a Hexblood Warlock with the Feylost background named Maven. She’s a changeling in the classic folklore sense of being the Fey that was left in the crib of a human baby whom her birth mother, a hag, abducted. She knows basically nothing about her birth mother, other than that she’s a hag, and that she sends Fey creatures to her in her dreams to try to manipulate her into embracing her heritage and becoming a hag. She grew up ostracized from her human community because her green skin and witch’s turn which marked her as Fey, and resented and feared her own Fey heritage. She identifies with and admires goblins (and other goblinoids) as Fey creatures that have made a place for themselves outside of the Feywild, but apart from other humanoid societies. I’m playing her in a Wild Beyond the Witchlight campaign and I rolled “a tiny music box that plays a spritely tune from your childhood” as a trinket for her, so I decided that her memory of said spritely tune would be the thing she lost at the Witchlight Carnival as a child. She can hear the song when she plays it, and listening to it moves her to tears (in accordance with one of her personality traits), but as soon as the song ends, she can’t remember what it sounded like or why it affected her so. I also know my DM (same DM from the aforementioned games in middle school, funny enough) has plans surrounding the identity of Maven’s birth mother, but I don’t know what they are (so no Witchlight spoilers, please!)</blockquote>
