I've been meaning to ask for a while, do you have any official character art reference sheets for Angela (and/or the others?)

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.
Actually well written Lawful Good characters getting along is so rare :)
How common is using Clone to live forever? The spell is cheap enough that even poor people can afford the material components (so long as they don't mind a squalid lifestyle), but I'm guessing there's not enough casters for everyone.
Massively different lifespans really is a bitch. Especially when you start outliving generations upon generations of friends and relatives.
Once you're a high enough level you can cast Plane Shift and visit. Arguably, you can just use Sending. It can contact other planes, but I'm not sure if their soul in the afterlife technically qualifies as the same creature.
It's actually a significant issue in Waterdeep's setting that she can't just planeshift and visit Khelben, because of where his soul is.
(It's not somewhere you can planeshift to...)
Just found you on Webtoon! Totally not going to binge the whole comic in an hour...
Oh not every Episode has to be meme-y; this one is quite beautiful and full of wisdom! If you have long life, dont just spend the majority of it in wallowing in sorrow, move on and focus on your self set goals.
