[Galadria]

Absinthe, all this is the culmination of much role-playing on my part. I have decided that Immie was Gorion's ward, just like the PC, but in my world, Gorion neglected Immie in favor of the PC. She grew up resentful of the PC, yet admiring, also. I picture her as reading lots of romances of romantic, heroic thieves, such as Vlana in Fritz Lieber's The Snow Women. She engages in a few, desultory love affairs with men of the garrison, and finds them unsatisfying. She gets caught stealing, and Gorion grows disgusted with her and decides to leave her behind when he leaves with the PC. She decides not to be a thief, after all, and study magic, but she has no time. She panics when she hears Gorion and the PC leaving, so she follows and joins the PC, sorry that Gorion is gone, but happy to belong to someone, who she already feels close to. During BGI, she decides to return to her old ambition and becomes a mage, though not until another is found to do the thieving for the party. So, in my mind, she is portrat I for BGI, and after her torture, she becomes the anxious BGII portrait. Now, she is very attached to her sister, and when she is recaptured, the only thing that keeps her sane is the stubborn knowlege that the PC is going to rescue her. She is hysterical with relief when she is rescued, and in the Romance, she can't sleep outside the PC's bedroll. That's where it all starts.
