When she does acknowledge her strengths, she also acknowledges their origins, and they are either very sad ( “I’ve been chased a lot in my life by boys making fun of me.(When she reunites with Yeza, she undermines her ‘dabblings’ in alchemy in comparison to his apparent brilliance.) (Yeza himself disagrees.).“He didn’t mind my strangeness…He was a brilliant chemist.“Not pretty and not brave and not coordinated and not smart and just…not.”.
Then she was a contented housewife and mother, but always saw herself as second to Yeza–a support figure, depending on him, learning from him, not even necessarily deserving of his love.She was bullied as a child, by her brothers and the neighborhood boys.Nott’s entire life is all about seeing/presenting herself as less than she is.Out of nowhere and apropos of nothing, a rambling incoherent list of things about Nott and Nott-and-Caleb that give me Feelings. critical role c2e49 nott the brave veth brenatto nott veth all the bits and pieces of the puzzle that she's offered the m9 fell into place (albeit in a slightly different arrangement than she presented them) her relationship with yeza her maternal instincts and love of children her days as the torturer's assistant and of course her fear of water 😢 i think she might legitimately have the most intriguing story of any cr character ever and i'm going to be looking back through the campaign to analyze it for a long time. As her story unfolded, we could all see Veth not-so-naturally evolve into our beloved Nott, for better or for worse, and it made her time with the M9, and the versions of her story that she’s told them, feel so much less like lies…and more like she’s been striving, in a very round-about way, to tell them the truth all this time. She may have picked up a few things from living in her new body and among the goblin clan–an added edge of ferocity, her taste for raw rats, her alcoholism as a coping mechanism–but for the most part, Veth Brenatto and Nott the Brave really are one and the same. I love that she’s always been a scrappy fighter who could hurl a vial of acid at a goblin general. I love that her rogue-ish speed comes from her days of being chased by halfling bullies. I love that her obsession with collecting strange little objects has always been a thing, and wasn’t some kind of newly acquired “goblin” trait. Can I just mention how much I love that Veth was very much the same person as Nott (and how careful Sam was to make that clear)? I find it fascinating that even as a halfling, Veth considered herself weird and ugly and an outcast (and was apparently considered so by many of her neighbors).
