#tavqotd
Boram knows hunger, the deep kind that rots you from the inside out and the desperation that comes with it.

She’ll wait until others have taken their fill, and then load her plate with a very modest serving and eat slowly.
#BoramOC

#tavqotd

Boram has that good ol’ one-two punch of Autism and ADHD, along with an overflowing helping of PTSD

As one can expect, this makes her an absolute delight to be around and she has tons of friends!!!
(Although autistic, she has a fine grasp on the concept of sarcasm)
#BoramOC

#tavqotd
Boram has very similar vibes in a modern AU, just minus the insistence on always wearing hanbok.
She’s definitely more on the streetwear side of things; she’s got lots of crop tops and baggy pants, best believe.
#BoramOC

#tavqotd
A primary theme of Boram’s story is agency: fighting for the ability to take control of her life and make her own choices at last.

Some key #BoramOC personality traits:
- witty
- resilient
- unfiltered
- abrasive
- playful

... I don't think there's any sort of coincidence in the fact that her 'happy ending' comes from living a quiet life and embracing the unremarkable.

#BoramOC

(this is also a reason as to why you'll never see any images of her where her back is visible/not obscured! She's very particular about who sees it)
(... also I haven't been able to commission anybody to mod it onto her character model yet...)
#BoramOC

#tavqotd

Prom isn't a thing in Korea, so Boram never had one. She doesn't really get the concept of school-related gatherings beyond field trips.

You can catch her smoking outside the venue at the OC prom, people watching.

#BoramOC

#tavember

The red lotus tattooed on Boram's forehead was given to her the day after she was purchased by the man who would be her final master.
He was a man who amassed his own harem of sorts, giving each of them the same lotus tattoo as an indication of their 'pedigree'.

#BoramOC

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, ICARUS!

#tavqotd
Boram's birthday just passed! It's 11/7! (or 7/11 for those of you who put the date first, huehue) (she doesn't actually know it)

Boram is bringing sweet rice cakes and Icarus' favourite honey cookies! (And her son; she couldn't find a sitter)
#BoramOC

#tavqotd

Boram was a Trophy: A fancy painted doll designed to sit on a shelf and be looked at in addition to being purchased and played with however the buyer desires.

Everyone squashed her autonomy... until she took it back.

#BoramOC

#tavember
Like @redroomroaving.bsky.social's Augustine, Boram's nature is also to persevere, albeit somewhat differently.

For most of her life, Boram's perseverance was spite-driven. Her masters all tried to break her spirit; she refused to give them the satisfaction.

#BoramOC

#Tavember
As someone who was forced to socialize and perform for decades, Boram is very choosy about who she socializes with.
In a public space or gathering, she's more than content to stand back and observe, always picking up a thing or two by the time she's left.
#BoramOC

A little something for day one of @whirlinginroses.bsky.social’s #BG3firstsweek ♥️

#Foxhound had their first kiss in Chapter 4 of my fic Caravan King ♥️

#BoramOC #bg3events

#tavqotd

Boram as a tea or coffee? She’s either a barley tea or a black americano—preferably the size of her head, too

#BoramOC

#tavqotd

During her decades as a courtesan, Boram encountered many odd... "requests" (read: demands) from her clientele.

She'd rather not talk about most of them.

"Let your imagination do the work for you; you're probably right on the money, anyhow."

#BoramOC

#tavqotd two truths and a lie, ship edition!

🦊Rugan has paid for Boram's services in the past
🦊Rugan has saved Boram's life
🦊Rugan proposed to Boram entirely by accident

#TavQOTD

Boram's name is composed of two characters:
寳: "treasure"
覽: "view", "observation", "prospect"
She's had it interpreted in several ways:
"beautiful view"
"prospective treasure"
...
"valuable object"...
(at its base, the word 'boram' in itself means 'worth', or 'worthwhile')
#BoramOC

#BoramOC... doesn't know how old she is anymore. She knew her birth year (in the Shou calendar, Koryo being a tributary state of Shou Lung) and its corresponding zodiac animal, but once she was taken to Faerûn, her sense of time was skewed (both by the journey and the calendar change)...
(1/2)

#Tavember #BoramOC
Boram is surprisingly educated for someone of her gender and social class. Being a gisaeng (courtesan) is a dual-edged sword; while it dooms her to the bottom of the fantasy-Confucian social strata of Koryo, it also grants her both an education and a recorded name.

… Her mother was ecstatic when the midwife announced Boram to be a little girl, the happiest she could ever remember being…

A daughter, a little girl all of her own... the news was life-altering.
#BoramOC

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BORAM
TIME TO TALK ABOUT YOUR LORE ON THE INTERNET
(she's so excited, you guys)
#BoramOC

Without further ado: THE CHART
@redroomroaving.bsky.social's #Augustinetet compared to #BoramOC!
Feel free to compare Boram to your OCs
use her as a snarky little yardstick (I take no responsibility for anything she says while you do it though; that is a risk you'll have to be willing to take)

Aaah she's already making friends in the sandbox! YAY!!
@redroomroaving.bsky.social, shall I bring out The Chart? Boram stands at a hulking... 150cm (4'11), which is fun to compare to just about anything, but PARTICULARLY Augustine.
#Tavqotd #BoramOC

also: it must be pointed out that Augustine has straight up LIFTED Bo in the second picture
(the only way to get her remotely close to his height)
(I like to imagine that he lifts her up to show her things she's never seen before, like the tops of shelves and cabinets)
#BoramOC #Augustinetet

Boram is looking forward to roasting her brother like the gremlin she is, hehehehe
Pictured: most people's (especially Augustine's) typical view of Boram
#BoramOC

SESTRA 😭

Boram is wonderful. Augustine's sister by bond if not by blood.
Welcome to the party, pal.
#boramoc

a portrait of Boram in the wilderness from the waist-up. She is looking at the viewer, posed with a hand on her shoulder. She has a red lotus tattoo on her forehead and is wearing a black and red Hanbok.

a three-quarter view of Boram from the shoulders up. She's looking away from the viewer, off to the right.

Hi all!
Perhaps a little (fashionably) late to the party, but I'd like to introduce my OC Boram!
She's not a Tav, but that doesn't mean she can't join in the fun and answer some #tavquotd and participate in #tavember!
Pretty, Witty, and just a little bit Shitty, she's my best girl <3
