This hasn't made it on here yet but I've recruited Minthara for the first time this playthrough and I'm in LOVE she's horrible and I'm in LOVE her puppy dog eyes and desire for bloody vengeance are extremely compelling. She wants to know about githyanki poetry 😍

I said this in the tags of a tumblr post but I'll share it here too: One of the things that took me by surprise with Minthara's character is how openly she talks about her fear. When she talks about being taken captive by Orin, she doesn't try to make it sound like nbd and doesn't even omit how Orin laughed at her apparent fear. It's not something I would have expected from her initially and it's very intriguing.

Turning Minthara down after she was "disappointed" to realize Tav only thought of her as a friend is hands down the hardest thing I've had to do in this game ;A; 

But also - the vulnerability!! "Without Lolth, without the Absolute, without my home, I do not know who I am" "show me who I am through your eyes, let me see myself" !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW CAN I BE NORMAL ABOUT HER

I'm just losing my mind about Minthara practically begging to share minds with Tav so she can see herself through someone else's eyes because her sense of self is so tenuous and poorly-understood by her that she needs someone else's view of her to try to understand herself. If Tav says she'd rather just say what she thinks of Minthara aloud, Minthara (gently) pushes back, insisting that the only way for her to get the real truth is to see it in Tav's mind. This woman is so lost and desperate to understand herself, but even now with someone she trusts enough to admit this to, she cannot bring herself to trust Tav's word on the matter.
