in honour of the boop: tara-related items in idle champions

i thought this would be a cute thing to do, especially because the description of the items related to tara are very sweet and offer a bit more insight into their relationship with each other.

1: Fond Memories

Even at my lowest, playing with Tara lifted my spirits...

2: Ball of Retrieval

...though the ball's purpose eluded her. I was always the one fetching it...

i thought this was especially sweet because tara is very much caught in this dichotomy of her 'feline instincts' while also being so person-like that gale refers to her as a colleague and fellow wizard as well as his best friend, acknowledging that it was she who saved him while he was arguably at his lowest, while she in turn acts very motherly with him.

3: Cat Flap of Displacement

Tara comes and goes as she pleases. But she's always pleased to help me.

this spell is of tara's invention and exists in the game as well. she references it in the gale origin as well in the epilogue, and it allows her to visit gale and morena throughout the game.

4: Ring of Evasion

A ring as evasive as Tara, when I asked how she obtained it...

this again reminded me of tara bringing gale a ring of blink in a companion playthrough, as well as a ring of evasion in his origin playthrough.

we do know she loves to snoop and it's always been a hc of mine that she does steal artefacts for gale, acquiring them by less than savoury means.

5: Robes of Increased Potency

I could get used to these. Elegant, but powerful - just like Tara.

another instance that clearly shows just how much gale values tara. it's clear whenever he talks about her - even if he might tease her from time to time.
