Hello!

I started working on this before Xmas and it's crazy that it took so long, but I learned a lot of new things about modding and also using custom models and textures from outside the game! ^^

This mod comes with a barrel containing a set of items fit for your Dark Consorts.

For now it is only for female body1. I will eventually make it for strong female as well.
For obvious reasons it can't work for the male body,  as you can see from the images, but I am open to suggestions on what to do for the males (maybe place the bat on the shoulders or head?).

The outfit is made by merging game assets with other 3d assets downloaded or bought from the web, with completely new or edited existing  game textures. 
At the moment it is not dyable, sorry, I haven't learned to make mskcloth from zero yet - so most of it is blood red and black as it's the more fitting color/theme.

The outfit is a gift from Astarion to his babe and features Ascendant-themed details and custom jewelry and accessories (bat/fangs pendants and choker, beating red heart necklace and moon/sun charms on the belt to represent the couple that can thrive under the sunlight).

As you can see, it includes a cute Batstarion comfortably snuggling in Tav's bosom! :D (Please note I've tried my best as I needed to squeeze the custom wings inside the corset to look as natural as possible, but there might be some minor clipping with the bat in certain scenes). Also, the bat is slightly smaller than the real bat size! Original bat is big enough it would break Tav's body otherwise :P Let's just headcanon he can make himself tinier if needed, lol.
This bat has black eyes. The fur on the face was adjusted a bit so it looks cuter.

Gloves, cape and boots use skills I normally use for my ranger; feel free to use transmog if you want to keep the look with different stats.

The chest equips your character with 2 Skills:

1- A skill to ruffle your darling's fur and "destress" (immunity from mind-altering statuses). It lasts 10 turns and it has no cost, so you can keep bothering him :D but he's not entirely happy about it, so you will get bitten when you do. Unless you're fine with that.. ;)

2- Passive, toggleable skill that will spawn Batstarion next to Tav when they're in danger (low hp). 
The bat acts as a normal summon and has base bat skills plus a reworked Ascendant Bite, Multiattack, Charm, Compel (dominate person) and the Ascendant human form passives. It has quite a lot of HP, but is not THAT powerful on his own, so it doesn't feel too game-breaking.
The passive is not getting added to the bar automatically even though I told it to for some reason, so you have to go to your spellbook and drag it manually.
You can only summon the bat once per Long Rest. 
Beware, our babe is moody and tends to misbehave sometimes :P Meaning, I'm not entirely sure why but sometimes it will leave if Tav dies, some others he stays and keeps fighting for a long time, so take him with a pinch of salt.
I could have tried to dig more into what causes this but I actually find it hilarious and it matches his moody personality so I'm leaving it like that. :D Please report anything game-breaking just in case. 

(Yes, I know it looks a little weird since the actual Astarion will likely already be in the party, but this is just for fun, so I don't care much :P)

In the optional downloads you can find loose files for a custom bat tattoo for Tav's cheek. (see images). Extract and install as is in your Bg3 data/generated folder, merge files if needed if you have other things there.
The tattoo shares the same spot as the birds one on the opposite cheek, as my Tav uses both.
But, in the same folder with the tattoos you can find a .psd file, feel free to rearrange the tattoo wherever you want in the map. Save it over as .dds DTX1 no Alpha.

Last but not least: the Woe hairpin accessory is not included in this but you can find it in my hairpin collections here.
The gloves include Tav's Promise Ring from my other mod Aeterna Amantes so you can use this outfit if you prefer.

I hope you enjoy the mod!
There might be some bugs, but hopefully shouldn't be!

A last reminder: No editing of this is allowed as it uses many assets that were bought with real currency - support the creators if you want to use them too by buying those on the many 3d assets websites. Leave a comment if you would like to request changes :)
Thanks for understanding!
