Heksie is a mid- to plus-sized half-drow sorlock who originated from hit video game Baldurs Gate 3, and has since taken on a life of her own in terms of lore. She is known by her large bazongas and her big, black, curly hair.
A woman with an insatiable lust for physical intimacy and knowledge, Heksie lives to defy expectations placed on her due to her appearance or race.

Personality and other word i can't think of

Personality

Heksie exudes confidence in a seductive manner. Her sexuality is used as a shield when paired with her sarcasm, quick wit, and anger. She has used her sexuality as a way to connect with other people and as a way to drive people away. She is deeply afraid of being manipulated, used, and then abandoned, and therefore does not attempt to form closeknit relationships with others, closing herself off and limiting any interactions that may be considered 'emotional'. Once past her mask, Heksie is a very empathetic, sentimental person who enjoys small comforts and silent companionship, though her sarcastic manner is retained.
Her academic side has been criticized by many partners, as has her insecure side. Heksie considers herself to be a person of little value, but would never admit this to anyone outside of her closest confidants. Curious to a fault, her interests often fall into the macabre and lead to her unscrupulous places and situations she must talk herself out of. When involved in anything that peaks her interest, she develops tunnel vision and will not stop until she is satisfied.
She is quick to anger and cry, often at the same time, leading to her saying things she doesn't mean in the heat of an argument. Heksie, for better or worse, picked up some of her father's mannerisms, making her highly persuasive and deceptive when needed.
Heksie's intelligence is often overlooked by others due to her physical appearance, which has lead her to develop a sharp tongue with a dry wit. Detail oriented and insightful, she often finds herself lost in her own chaos.
She is highly protective, bordering on possessive, and stubborn - unless met with a logical argument due to her highly analytical nature. She does not put stock in the social or financial status of people, and tries to not hold their pasts against them. Her strong internal desire for true companionship and to be loved purely and perpetually without judgement has, in the past, blinded her to manipulation and abuse.
Despite these attributes that may paint her as uptight, Heksie is perfectly fine without a solid plan, though often creates abstract plans in her head that allows for a large number of unforseen variables, and appears almost easy-going - while in reality, she budgeted for chaos and the belief that most other people have very little common sense.

Physical Attributes

here comes the peepeepoopoo man

Magic

Heksie is gifted in magic, inheiriting her skills as a Shadow Sorcerer from her mother. She is most adapt at necromancy and enchantment spells, though she also proficient with illusion and transmutation spells. Her weakest forms of magic are abjuration and divination.
Her Warlock pact with The Entity was a result of her desire for revenge and control. In doing so, she gained access to reality-warping magics and powerful necromancy.
Heksie's pact is not a standard Warlock pact - in which she did not sign away the entirety of her soul to The Entity - but rather pacted her time and knowledge to the being along with all of her memories from before the age of ten. Her patron is of a peculiar sort, which is definitely heavily based in The Elder Scrolls daedric prince of knowledge and fate, Hermaeous Mora. It is an ancient and esoteric entity that yearns for the knowledge of which it can never know- death. It only makes pacts with one mortal at a time, and even then its requirements exclude a majority of the population. In order to be pacted with The Entity, the potential warlock must be willing to part with a large portion of particularly violent or dark memories, and must have died and been resurrected at least once. The pactholder must also undertake the arduous task of documenting the final memories of every species in the Planescape, with the added difficulty of also having to find memories from every form of perishing that could befall a specific species.

Other variables are also demanded by The Entity , who gifts its warlock with a specialized spell to be able to coax those memories from the soul, automatically recording them in the pactholders blood in an eldritch tome that is bound in leather that seems to breathe. The pactholder is unable to permanently die or exit the pact until a willing prospective pactholder finds The Entity of their own accord or at the behest of the current pactholder, and the new pact is sealed. If the pact is broken by the patron in the case of a disobedient or unruly warlock, all of the memories collected by the pactholder during their time with the patron are unleashed on its mind while the aging process excellerates greatly - both leading to death except in extraordinary circumstances.
Heksie was able to contact her patron through the vigorous research of tomes so ancient the tongues they were written in are long forgotten in the depths of Althea's estate in the Faewild, after finding mention of it in another ancient book on necromancy in the library of the same estate. Surprisingly, Heksie and her patron get along quite well and even occasionally meet for tea on another plane. It even allows her breaks in her research during her pregnancies.

Academics

Bet you're wondering how she was able to decipher unknown writing systems huh. Well keep reading this part and you'll find out.
While not formally educated, Heksie was taught by her father - who, despite being a gambler and drunkard, is extremely well educated and intelligent - most of which she picked up with ease despite her rough beginnings. This delighted Thato, hence giving her the name Heksie - meaning 'little witch' in Afrikaans. Her favorite subjects were history, linguistics, and math. She read every book she could and quickly absorbed the knowledge. This allows her now have the ability to read many languages, but only speaks a few semi-fluently, and even less as a fully fluent speaker. During her time helping her father with his research on organically based interplanar travel, she also grew to be quite adept at drawing scientific diagrams. Do not ask her create any other type of art, as she is quite bad at classical artforms.
Her teen years were far more tumultuous, but she continued to educate herself every chance she could in the hopes it would one day remove her from the life her father had created for them. During the early years of her adulthood following her departure from Luskan, she briefly attended university to further her skills at alchemy and enchanting.
Heksie had devoted her freetime after finishing her work - both her own and her patrons - to developing a modified version of the spell speak with the dead that would enable the user to speak to people long dead so long as a singular item connected to the soul remained. She was and is greatly interested in historical linguistics and archaeology, though she put all of her academic pursuits on hold during her engagement to Zorre, who did not want her wife to be seen as 'bookish'. Following the end of the engagement, Heksie through herself into her research and opened a specialized alchemical and enchantment shop with her younger brother Keernean in Neverwinter.

Family

Heksie was the result of a brief sexual relationship between her human father, Thato Rathal, and her drow mother, Phaere Auvryndor. The two were trapped together following a rockslide in the underdark. Phaere kept the father of her child secret, except from her fraternal twin brother Xarann Auvryndor. After enduring a long and difficult labor, Phaere died from infection and bloodloss. This earned the infant the unbridled hatred of her grandmother, LaFaen, who swore to exact a long and painful revenge on the child for robbing her of her only daughter.
Xarann searched endlessly for nearly six years before finding Thato in Cormyr.
Thato was in a sexual relationship with his warlock patron, an Archfey named Althea who specialized in portal magic. He fathered two children by her.
Althea remained an active part of Heksie's life despite this, presiding as a mother-figure as best as she could. Heksie's half-brothers from Thato's entanglement with Althea are of great importance to her. The eldest, Keevaren, is four years younger than Heksie, and the youngest, Keernean, is seven years younger. While their relationship has been strained at times, the three of them are inseparablely bonded.
Heksie has an elder third half-sibling, unbeknownst to her, a half-elven woman by the name of something, who Thato fathered with a paramore from his youth.
Also unbeknownst to her are her relations on her fathers side of her family. Thato was removed from his family lineage entirely following a disagreement in the early years of his adulthood. Both she, her paternal grandmother, and her two aunts are unaware of the others - though her paternal grandfather was aware of her existance prior to his passing.
