I have no idea how an edgy dark knight ended up becoming the goth Finnish party mommy but I suppose that's for the best.

Oooh! I am in love with all of this .
seriously I love a good knight arnor/Gothic dress combo. Please tell me more about this character. Both the intention and how it worked out.
Also, Goth Finnish Party Mommy is my new band name.

Well, my lady, Inverness of Tarrow, was devised as a knight (actually a homebrewed hexblade warlock, we were playing in DnD 5e) who would fall to one of the dark forces we're antagonising in the campaign and struggle with an allegiance to a higher being of much greater power than any mortal could imagine, while also remaining loyal to her party. This caused one of the party members (in-character) to abandon the group entirely.
...it just so happened that the edge quickly wore off after my soft ass realised I couldn't deal with being mean in-character, plus the others being very cute. Due to being charismatic, she drifted into a leadership position in the party, and had a full redemption arc which ended in one of her arms being lopped off to sever her connection to her patron. She keeps the dark aesthetic while trying to make up for her misdeeds via just being as cosy of a person as she can. That explains the Goth and the Party Mommy.
As for the Finnish... long story short, the nation she hails from is basically fantasy Finland and she was always described as having a pretty strong accent, being far too used to monstrous beasts and other crazy shit that happens in her country, and enjoying saunas a lot.
All because I made a ripoff of Yuria of Londor that went a bit too far with stealing from Dark Souls.
