Your Laeral is very similar to the way I run Laeral in my games, which is lovely. I think she’s a good character, the tragic “I live forever” schtick works well on a genuinely good, intellegent, competent leader type.
I do always feel that she makes friends with the PCs too easily in most of my games. (I have a similar problem running Vajra… which at least evens itself out a bit whenever the PCs suggest having the two of them meet up…) - but also, if you do (good-aligned) adventures out of Waterdeep for long enough, you should probably end up friends with both of them.
I’ve been meaning to ask for a while, do you have any official character art reference sheets for Angela (and/or the others?)
