Dungeons & 용 (or D&D for short) is a super fun 테이블 탑, 테이블 톱 roleplaying game that's been around since the 1970s but has recently gained a fair bit of popularity. I've been playing the game for around eight years at time of writing, and I strongly recommend 당신 give it a try if 당신 ever get the chance. It's really an absolute blast! D&D has always been one of my 가장 좋아하는 hobbies, but within the last two years it's become an even bigger part of my life. Since I've been having so much fun with it recently, I decided it was finally time to try something I'd always wanted to do: turning the 디즈니 Princesses into D&D characters.

Over the last 년 I've been slowly creating D&D characters based off of the DPs, and I spent so much time on them that I really wanted to share them here. I'll be posting a series of articles, one for each DP, in which I explain why I chose the classes, subclasses, etc. for each princess, and share the backstory I wrote for each. I'll also be crossposting these 기사 to the D&D club. All the characters will be level 3 to ensure that they all have a chosen subclass. Sourcebooks used to build these characters include the Player's Handbook, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

Since I expect many of 당신 here don't play D&D 또는 maybe even haven't heard of it, I'll begin with the backstory I wrote since 당신 might find that the most interesting. Below the backstory you'll find the 더 많이 nitty gritty stats of the characters. Anything written in italics is an author's note explaining my reasoning behind certain character choices.

Tiana

Human Ranger - Swarmkeeper / Background - Guild Artisan

I had so much trouble deciding what to make Tia. Her whole thing is that she loves cooking, and there really is no D&D class that I'm aware of that has anything to do with that. I was really reaching for something and eventually went ...well... rangers hunt... so maybe she hunts... for her food...??? So I started looking at ranger subclasses and lo and behold the perfect one was staring me right in the face! Tia has many 프렌즈 among the fireflies of the bayou. She is 100% a Swarmkeeper, and her swarm is a beautiful 구름, 클라우드 of blinking fireflies! I gave her the guild artisan background because cook was one of the options in that.

Backstory

Backstories have been created with a combination of the stories from the films and rolling randomly on the 랜덤 tables in the "This Is Your Life" section of Xanathar's Guide to Everything, which is why some of these backstories have some wild things that really come out of left field lol.

I was born to Eudora and James Guillory in the open field where they had just begun constructing our home. They had chosen to 옮기기 away from the city to try their hand at farming the land. Unfortunately, the land turned out to be swampy and was not ideal for traditional farming. My parents were resourceful, however, and focused their efforts on crops that liked the damp environment, and supplemented what 음식 we grew with hunting the beasts that roamed the land.

My father loved nothing 더 많이 than to cook, and I inherited that passion from him. When I was young he taught me all that he knew. Sadly, he was called away to war, and he was killed in battle. The rest of my childhood I was raised 의해 my mother. We lived a poor life in our small house, but I had a few close 프렌즈 amongst the few other families who lived in our rural community.

In addition to having talent in the kitchen, I was also an accomplished hunter. Living on the edge of a swamp, the area was imperiled 의해 land creatures as well as aquatic ones, and I enjoyed the connection I felt with my meals when I hunted them myself. As I honed my hunting skills 의해 bringing down the dangerous 동물 that stalked the edges of our community, I found a deep sense of purpose, and I began to cultivate the skills of a ranger. I 곰 no enmity toward the beasts I slay. I stalk such creatures as a hunter tracks down a wild animal.

However, I still adored cooking, and I'd always dreamed of joining the Cooks Guild of the nearest city. I chose to leave our 집 for a time to pursue my dream. I found work in the kitchens of an Inn and began my apprenticeship. I had learned the essentials from my father already, but the guild polished off my training, and it was not long before I became a full-fledged member.

While spending time in the city, a chance encounter led me to meet Prince Naveen. He'd been morphed into a frog 의해 a nefarious warlock, and my attempt to help him transferred the spell onto me! It took us quite some time to break the curse, and during that time I grew very fond of him. Though we hated each other initially, I came to realize that I loved him. During our journey to break the curse, I acquired a sheet of parchment upon which is drawn a complex mechanical contraption. I'm not sure what it is for 또는 what it does.

Once we returned to our human forms, we announced our plans to be married to the King and Queen. Unfortunately, they were not pleased with my humble background and they forbade our union and forced Naveen to stay within the palace walls.

Knowing that adventuring is an exceptionally lucrative, though dangerous, occupation, I have set out in 검색 of treasure and hopefully a noble title. I intend to win the hand of my prince no matter what it takes.

This one ended up... kinda weird. I don't hate it though?

Insight and Persuasion were granted 의해 her background.)

Languages: Common, Elvish, Halfling, Sylvan (I gave her Elvish since swamps are often near forested areas. I gave her Halfling because they're supposed to be good cooks?? I gave her Sylvan because she's had brushes with voodoo magic. Idk man, Tia's been a conundrum to make.)
