my favorite character. I often draw D&D-related art, but Lae'zel is the one who inspired me to draw specifically for BG3.

Her name is Hatsuaki, and she was my first D&D character. The concept was that she was a traveler from Kozakura, exploring the cultures of other peoples and recording every story she heard along the way, so that one day she could return home and share them all with her teacher. I created her 3 years ago for my first game, and she has inspired me so much since then that I’ve based all my usernames on her.

Tell about your first D&D characters—I’d love to hear about them.

My party met her in a mysterious spirit castle. It turns out she used to live and serve as a healer in an underwater castle, but was framed and exiled there. She had to wander for a long time in search of a place where her work would be valued again, and eventually found a castle hidden in the mountains where people and spirits lived together. The character was based on Ikanokoan, a character from Japanese literature.

I was greatly inspired by this character and decided to draw her.

I drew an art of a battle with a red dragon. I really love Kozakura in DND, it's a shame the setting isn't as developed as Faerun. My party consists entirely of Kozakura characters traveling across Faerun. In the foreground is the rogue Hainokage, a little further back is a samurai I adapted for a paladin, and at the end is the most interesting, for me, kitsune, a multi-class sorcerer/warlock.
