As a drow and follower of the Absolute, Minthara has a highly hostile and cruel attitude towards other beings, considering almost everyone as inferior. She has a special disdain for those who do not share her beliefs, and as a drow noble, she holds other of her race in high regard. As such, she approves of displays of power and control, often in the form of violent, if not efficient solutions, to problems. She respects those with the strength to follow their own will, and enjoys black humour on occasion.

Minthara dislikes shows of compassion, especially towards those she considers weak. She will disapprove of any form of benevolence without something to gain for it, as well as senseless violence that does not aid the party in some way. Above all, she despises shows of weakness and any form of worship of [[Lolth]].

===Appearance===
===Appearance===
With a stern countenance and piercing eyes, Minthara has an imposing presence. Like most drow, she has purplish-blue skin, with crimson eyes and pointed ears. Her silver hair is kept in a messy top bun, with stray strands of hair adorning her face. On the left side of her neck, she bears the seal of House Baenre in black, marking her as a member of the ancestral house. Her combat equipment is well-made, and her at-ease clothes reflect some of her noble upbringing.


=== Personality ===
=== Personality ===
Being a [[drow]] and follower of the [[Absolute]], Minthara has a highly hostile and cruel attitude towards other beings, considering pretty much everyone as inferior. She has a special disdain for those who do not share her beliefs, and as a drow noble, she holds other drow characters in high regard.
As a drow and follower of the Absolute, Minthara has a highly hostile and cruel attitude towards other beings, considering almost everyone as inferior. She has a special disdain for those who do not share her beliefs, and holds other of her race in high regard. Her upbringing as a noble in [[Menzoberranzan]] further compounds her superiority complex.
 
Power hungry, she is always looking for way to increase her standing among her peers, product of her drow upbringing. Having been a follower of Lolth once, she also knows that violence, deception and cruelty are great tools to obtain what she wants.
 
Despite her overt dislike for others, she is an observant person, always studying those that surround her. Minthara often understands the plights of her companions, even if she doesn't necessarily care for them, and she's always willing to give them a solution in her own way. Though her methods may sometimes be extreme, they always have a sound reasoning. Still, she doesn't support mindless cruelty if it serves no purpose, and even shows a weak spot for [[Scratch]]. If romanced, she also shows that she harbours doubts about her life and circumstances.


Despite her apparent devotion, a player who romances her can find that she has doubts regarding the Absolute and its actions.
Whether due to her looks or attitude, Minthara reveals she's had quite a few lovers in the past and even has a few suitors among the goblins{{ref|[[Parchment (Goblin Camp)|Parchment]], [[Unfinished Love Letter]]}}, unbeknownst to her.
