Jon
- Jon has spent the time between campaigns with Aida in Nicodranas, learning how to cook and clean and spending time with Aida. Jon was explained to her parents as a friend, though they didn’t understand that initially. (13th of Cuersarr)
- Jon’s devotion to Aida is what grants him his magic and his abilities as a paladin, and he sees her as the most intelligent person he knows. (16th of Cuersarr)
- Jon works independent of Aida to avoid being a burden, and has his own stash of money outside of what she tries to give him. (17th of Cuersarr)
- Jon is terrified at the idea of Aida ascending, and it seems to trigger (or at least contribute to) his departure from the party and Aida. (17th of Cuersarr)
- Jon feels a great deal of self-doubt and internal conflict regarding his role as a person and his own autonomy, noticing that Dione does not refer to him as fate-touched or reference him the same way he references the rest of the party. (17th of Cuersarr)
- Jon is afraid, and holds Aida tight before leaving with tears in his eyes. He’s very conflicted over his choice, but feels the need to think away from the party and Aida and all the connections and confusion therein. He tells her helping people in Zephrah - good people - will help him think. (17th of Cuersarr)
- Jon does not view his trip to Zephrah as abandonment, and finds it easy to tell Aida he misses her. He’s the one to reach out, asking the Voice of the Tempest to communicate for him (as he doesn’t know Sending). When he thinks she is in danger, he runs to meet the party. (18th of Cuersarr)
- He expresses that his time in Zephrah helped him (specifically, Keyleth helped him), and he uses this character development to force conversations with the delicacy of a bull in a china shop. When Paige tells him this is not the best way to go about things, he is quick to ignore her and pout because he had one session of therapy. (19th of Cuersarr)
- Jon is uncomfortable with sex as a concept, as evidenced by his running away when Aida tells him she invited someone over (even the thought of it intimidates him, despite her attempts to explain that it isn’t like that). (19th of Cuersarr)
