Tuvalkane - lore related and mechanics

[polarbear911]

TL;DR.

An ancient soul that thinks that she's never good enough to become a legendary blacksmith like her father.

 

Possible extension of the lore and mechanics:

-- Lore --

Tuvalkane has an identical twin sister who shares a soul-body connection with her. The tragedy of Tuvalkane's death was tied to her sister's attempt to save her, a moment that continues to haunt her. As a result, Tuvalkane often feels neglected and is overly self-critical, carrying a burden of guilt and believing she will never measure up—not just to her father, but also to her twin sister, who is also an exceptional blacksmith.

Her father, the wise and understanding figure, recognized the personality differences between the two sisters. While he encouraged Tuvalkane to find her confidence, he focused on teaching her the skills to forge weapons—tools that would not only help her embrace her strength but also allow her to overcome her insecurities. In contrast, her twin sister, with her extroverted and confident nature, was taught the importance of humility. For her, the focus was on mastering the craft of armory and gear.

The key for both sisters lies in working together, honoring their individual strengths, and continuing the family legacy. Through their respective disciplines, they can each deepen their expertise and, in time, build a powerful, complementary partnership. Well, that's all the the family had hoped for until the 'slaughter' happened....

 

-- in-game --

- When crafting gear/armor: The sister's come in with a totally different personality and talks down on you as the player and take jabs at Tuvalkane for knowing she would be better suited forging weapons.

- When crafting (strictly) weapons: Tuvalkane brings her current personality into the process, but in addition, she tries to apologize for what she perceives as her own stupidity. She blames herself for both of their deaths and questions whether her sister truly understands why their father taught Tuvalkane the skills to craft "weapons"?

- When trying to find out more lore: personality switches between the two and it'll be an interesting monologue/dialogue to watch.
