Summary
A fan-made Minthara cosplay fromBaldur’s Gate 3has highlighted the drow character’s gentler side, without dispensing her authority figure altogether. Minthara is one of the possible companions in the award-winning RPG by Larian Studios. Introduced as an antagonist, the character can be partnered with and even saved, though players are required to lean into an evil-aligned playthrough – which, in turn, makes them part ways with a few othercompanions inBaldur’s Gate 3. Minthara is known for her severity and ruthlessness, but there is more to her than it initially seems.
This was perfectly captured by the cosplayer known as Lady Melamori, who shared their cosplay onX(formerly Twitter).The cosplay is depicted in two distinct pictures within the same photoshoot. In the first picture, the Minthara cosplay sits at the edge of a table, with candles illuminating the background. The cosplayer boasts a gentle smile, unlike how Minthara tends to portray herself in public.
The second image has Minthara standing behind the table, illuminated by the aforementioned candles.The candles’ warm light is an important part of theBaldur’s Gate 3cosplay’s composition, as it highlights a gentler side to the character.

Minthara Cosplay From Baldur’s Gate 3 Boasts Her Gentle Side
The Drow Character From BG3 Is Known For Her Ruthlessness
As was previously mentioned,Minthara is known for her ruthlessness. During the player’s first interactions, she can be hard to deal with and clings to her problematic ideals. Even after she is freed from the influence of the illithid mind, players will notice that she is still very stern. This can be seen, for instance, in the decisive and commanding pose the cosplayer uses in the second picture, where theBaldur’s Gate 3Minthara cosplay leans on the table, puts a hand on her hip, and looks intently forward.
However, as players progress through the game and spend more time with the character, they learn that Minthara is not entirely how she behaves with those she does not feel comfortable with. In fact,there is a kindness to her, mainly directed at those whose companies she enjoys. This can be clearly perceived if players choose toromance Minthara inBaldur’s Gate 3, for instance. She, like the other companions in the game, can dedicate her affection and attention to the player’s Tav.
This cosplay by Lady Melamori perfectly encapsulates this softer side to Minthara, while also showing her natural confidence, which can be seen both through her pose in the second picture and how she feels comfortable in the setting. Lady Melamori is a professional cosplayer and has portrayed Minthara before, as well as several other characters fromBaldur’s Gate 3.
