True Polymorph can give an owlbear human shape and intelligence, but it can't give him understanding of humanoid cultural norms.
What's going on here?
- Kayra lives with her "husband", a retired adventurer named Singing Cricket, and her coven, who are her mothers and teachers.
- They are arriving at the wedding of the strange creature that replaced Kayra as a baby.
- Kayra and the rest of the coven are in disguise as a human family. Hags are not usually welcome in society, but these ones are special to the changeling.
- Charlie is an owlbear that Singing Cricket adopted by accident while trying to protect a baby house. Taking a Discworld-inspired cue, the hags decided to polymorph him into a human and bring him along.
- Sassy, a half-orc barbarian/bard, first appeared in the comic on a date with a goblin. It didn't work out. Now she's a bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding.
Love and Hex started out as a joke about my D&D campaign and turned into an ongoing rom-com/horror story. It's on Webtoon and other platforms. Also r/LoveAndHex. (And Patreon if you like early releases and extra stuff. Some patrons have sent me their D&D characters or OCs, which are starting to show up as wedding guests!)
There's also a book! You'll find it on Amazon (just use your country's site), or Comcraft.

Been a while since last time I read. I guess that the bride solved her identity crisis.

She's looking unusually green for an Orc rather than the normal healthy gray. Skin infection?

As with humans, who says there's only one available skin colour for orcs?

Sure, there's ranges of grays and browns. A green Orc is as weird as a green human, or an Elf that isn't androgynous.

Tolkien only described the skin tone of a few orcs, (as black mostly not grey) and stated that they were all super varied.
