Background

Theodosia Bloomridge is a high-caliber lady of nobility. Her father, a foreign wine tycoon, sent her to Baldur’s Gate to see her married off to an appropriately wealthy suitor.

Unfortunately, her carriage never made it. Theodosia and her entourage fell to a savage owlbear attack while traversing through the wilds of Faerûn.

One survivor emerged from the gore: a lowly scullery maid by the name of Miffy. It’s no surprise she made it out alive — Miffy was always good at surviving, be it by luck or by wit.

Perhaps this drive for survival is what prompted her to salvage Theodosia’s belongings and assume her identity.

In the end, “Theodosia” does arrive in Baldur’s Gate in time for the courting season. She just happens to be scrawnier and less educated than most ladies of high society. Most folk chalk it up to cultural differences, though the city’s gossips have more sinister theories.

Personality

Theodosia often comes across as shallow and a bit condescending. After all, in order to get by, she has had to put all her efforts toward maintaining a certain polish: perfect hair, fine clothes, excessive hygiene, etc. In her pursuit of these things, she often chides the people around her and urges them to adhere to the lofty standards that she is bound to.

She sometimes craves the freedoms that her companions hold. She’s far too prideful to admit it, though.

Her well-manicured visage can be disrupted by the unexpected. She is easily flustered by vulgar displays, taken aback by sudden acts of violence, and quite easy to sway with threats.

Plot

From the start, Theodosia is somewhat boastful. She makes her so-called status clear. Though it requires “lowering her standards,” she agrees to travel with the party because she is desperate to get back to Baldur’s Gate before the conclusion of the courting season. Her marriageability depends on it.

There are hints scattered throughout earlier acts that give the player a chance to see through her façade. At one point, she warns the party that the berries they are about to forage are poisonous. She knows this due to a history of having to forage for her own food, but brushes off any accusation of this off by telling Tav that, as the daughter of a well-respected wine tycoon, it’s expected that she’d have an extensive knowledge of various fruits and berries.

Upon arrival in Baldur’s Gate, she reunites with the baron who had been courting her. It is soon revealed that he has heinous plans to further subjugate the servant class of Baldur’s Gate. He remains Theodosia’s easiest ticket to a life of comfort, and she would benefit greatly from setting her morals aside and turning the other cheek.

Bad-aligned Ending

She is Theodosia.

She finishes the courting process with a morally questionable baron and agrees to be his wife, giving him what he needs to rise in power: a respected partner and the promise of an heir.

She is sidelined in his story, confined to her new role as a chess piece in his games. She will do whatever the baron asks of her, no matter who will be hurt in the process.

Good-aligned Ending

She is Miffy.

She embraces her true self and kills the morally questionable baron, freeing her from her fate and preventing him from enacting his will on the poverty-stricken lower city.

Though she does not gain the wealth she’d been working toward initially, many of the comforts she sought from high society come to her when she becomes one of Baldur’s Gate’s heroes: financial stability, respect, the power to protect herself, etc.
