Balia

A consummate specialist in orc breeding, Balia has worked since she was little under the rule of the Lustlord. She is very centered in her research and her job and doesn't really care about politics. Or personal security for that matter. In some aspects, she has the same outlook in life as Qum D'umpe, but in others is the opposite. She is the archetype of a distracted academic:

Story
Unfortunately, she no longer has a job secured with the Lustlord as he no longer finds her expertise necessary:

And although her life isn't in danger, she has a very tough time imagining her life without her research. It seems that she doesn't have many interests outside of her work. She shows little interest in any sexual shenanigans, even with her masters, but beware of the quiet waters. It's clear that her abilities will be a valued asset for the team, but will she able to give him something meaningful (or vice versa)?

In the short term, at least Orcent, Stark and The Impaler have a vested interest in her research and, by extension, her well-being.

Relationship points
Maximum affection is 100, at which you can have a conversation with the harem girl that will lock her affection there.

Balia's affection is mostly tied to how much you seem to care about her work and orc-related matters in general. She's rather... focused.

Base value: 20. Maximum legit value: 85.

On-demand:
 * (On the table) - Balia asks Simon to "help her concentrate" again, though this time her request is for a bit more than just sex. At 50 affection and above.

Trivia
