might not be the best PR to go around with the baddie's clothes, but going around with Ketheric's for the good stats and Gortash's cause i am a fashion victim

Hi y'all, @albaharu's Inquisitor Maddox once again got me overflowing with outfit ideas and this time the victim of my dressing up obsession is our beloved Skyhold researcher Helisma Derington 😌✨
Y'all know the drill, close-ups, headcanons and yapping about design choices under the cut 🌈
Obviously I have zero clues on how the Rite reversion will go and I understand so little about all of it that I can't even come up with any predictions of my own, I'll leave those to you magic/Fade lovers, but a bitch can dream and hope things will work nicely for our lovely, brave scientist. With that in mind and with the (very little) info we have about Helisma, I came up with a few theories in the case of successful un-Tranquility and in this outfit page I put two of the ones I enjoyed the most
The first one is the 🌈Mage Ranger🌈
In this scenario, Helisma decided to stick to her creature researching job and, after becoming more confident in her use of magic, she went on the field of scientific expeditions to learn about said creatures in their natural habitats. I figure she'd be more in the lines of studying/observing than hunting but as a proper fereldean girlie she wouldn't go out in the woods unprepared so she trained a mabari for protection/assistance and polished her survival skills with (arcane) archery, alchemy, navigation and trap crafting
Onto the gear itself, I gave her some enchanted accessories that work as passive protection (in her case, poison resistance and Dreamer detector ear piercings) and a rune carved head piece for sense enhancement depending on her choice of runic activation (i.e.: dark vision, better hearing, poison detection, stuff like that)
I made it so the head piece covers her brand because I take that they'd keep the Rite reversion on the low for a while to prevent some awful people from hiding/killing Tranquils randomly either out of greed (exploiting their workforce) or out of fear of "undercover" mages "passing" as Tranquils 🥹
For her magic assistance/usage gear I went for a similar path as my lady Lavellan's discreet rune carved/lyrium infused armour and Bellara's research/archery tools with the gloves, a light vest with enhanced protection and a stylish utility belt full of hidden pockets 😌✨
I put some crystals that she can use as extra focal points to initially keep her magic stable and, later on if she wishes to expand her mage training, to cast stronger spells without ever needing a staff 👌🏽✨
On a side note about design choices, for some reason I kept associating her with the tale of the Little Red Riding Hood and my brain worked around this for the colour palette. My markers chose violence and almost ruined everything many times but I had fun coming up with the embroidery and the layering of the clothes. Initially I was gonna give her mabari a lil outfit too but I didn't wanna risk derailing into an entire page dressing him up lmao
For my second theory, we have the druid version- I mean, 🌈Shapeshifter Mage🌈 version (hehehehehehehe)
This is from imagining how Helisma would specialise once she's given the chance to properly explore her magic. My theory is that her type of magic was a bit unconventional so the Circles didn't know how to teach her to weild it as it should so she couldn't control it properly and the Chantry (the one in charge of the circles) didn't wanna put resources into expanding the teachings to be more inclusive/diverse so they just went for the "easier" solution and made her a Tranquil. Under Maddox's protection and with the assistance of either Solas or Morrigan (maybe they'd bicker about who would teach her, that would be hilarious lol), Helisma could learn about wild/ancient magic and resonated a lot with it so she went on to become a Shapeshifter (and probably lead the most rich and detailed creature research expeditions in Thedas)
Onto her gear for this version, I'll be honest, I couldn't come up with much lol I'm not the best at designing more magic aligned stuff so I lost some braincells on it, but I gave her a headpiece that would be more focused on strengthening her mind barriers and allowing her to Dream more safely and put a lil bear on it bc it looked cute on her
Since she's the Dreamer in this case, I didn't give her the ear piercings lol For her armour I went with the same logic as the crystals in her other outfit and distributed them in a way that she probably came up with as extra channeling sources to Shapeshift more efficiently (so she doesn't end up like Morrigan in my game who takes so long that she's always interrupted mid turning and it PISSES ME OFF-). And I gave her bear claw manoples as a nod to my lady Lavellan's ✨magic nail extensions✨ hehe
I was gonna give her another animal companion but I burnt half of my braincells coming up with her more magey gear and couldn't think of one suitable for this version. The colour palette was really fucking wild, I initially used the browns and greys and I knew I wanted to add blue (because in my brain Seeker magic = blue), the oranges came later pretty much for contrast but it ended up as another part of her gear bc the full body orange "jumpsuit" then became ✨Dragon Skin✨ light armour with extra, hidden rune paths to also help her shapeshift faster :D (accidentally genius or straight up bullshit? up to you lol)
Anywayyyyyy that's it (for now) and if the Voices win again I'll finally make the page of Maddox hanging out with his researcher girlfriends, all of them nicely geared and looking pretty 😌🌈 Once again thank you for giving us such a great story albaharu my dearest, I'm always inspired by your work and I'm glad we can have fun playing with dolls like this from time to time 😆
SEE Y'ALL LATER!!! NOW GO READ INQUISITOR MADDOX'S COMIC, IT'S AMAZING, I PROMISE!!!!!!!! BYE!!!!
