DRAGON AGE ORIGINS

Senga Mahariel

Origin: Dalish elf Age: 19 (at Joining) Height: 5′6″ Class: Rogue / Ranger Love Interest: Alistair Theirin

Mini-bio: Orphaned shortly after birth, she was raised by Ashalle in Clan Sabrae.  Because of her status as the former Keeper’s daughter and finally filling Ashalle’s desire for a child to raise, she was more than a little spoiled.  Her best friend, Tamlen, grew up along side her and their friendship gradually blossomed into young love. 

When they stumbled onto the tainted mirror in a cave one day, she was torn from her life and forced to join the Grey Wardens.  She never wanted any of this, and is very resentful and reluctant until she grows into the new life she’d been thrust into.

DRAGON AGE 2

Olivier Hawke

Age: 25 (during 1st Act) Hawketype: Purple with a dash of Red Height: 5′9″ Class: Warrior (sword and shield) Love Interest: Isabela

Mini-bio: Oldest of the three Hawke children, Olivier feels responsible for everyone and everything.  Her mother’s confidant and her father and sister’s quiet security, she was forced to grow up too fast.  Joining the army to keep her family safe from the Blight was only natural. 

Family is and always has been her most important priority, whether it’s her slowly dwindling blood family or her quickly growing found family in Kirkwall.  She would do literally anything, up to and including murder, to keep her family safe and together.

She’s quick-witted and smarter than she tends to let on, not wanting to draw too much attention to herself for her family’s sake.  Fame, or infamy in some cases, always seemed to find her regardless.  She buries all of her insecurities behind a solid brick wall of humor and sarcasm that very few people are able to penetrate.

DRAGON AGE INQUISITION

Orensia (Ren) Lavellan

Age: 32 (at the Conclave) Height: 5′2″ Class: Rogue / Assassin Love Interest: Solas and/or Cullen  (idk man, it’s complicated.  i’m still figuring shit out.) Mini-bio: Born to a pair of elven merchants in Starkhaven, her family was never well-off but they very rarely went hungry.  Her father was a leathercrafter and her mother managed the business.  When she was about ten years old, her family waas traveling to Markham for a festival to sell their goods at when they were attacked by bandits.  Her parents were killed and she was very badly wounded when she resisted their attempts to take her alive to sell.  Nearby Dalish scouts heard the attack and arrived in time to slay the bandits and take her back to their Keeper for healing.

She was adopted into Clan Lavellan shortly after, and adjusted well to life in the wilderness.  She took to scouting and helping with the halla herds.  One time while scouting, she found an orphaned hart fawn and raised it herself as a mount.  Eventually she became the lead scout for Clan Lavellan and also led most of their trading with human settlements, having much more experience with humans than anyone else in the Clan.

When news of the Conclave arrived to the Free Marches, the Keeper asked Ren to go to the meeting and bring back information regarding how the humans planned to deal with mages in the future, in case they decided to also deal with Dalish mages.  She got lost in the Temple of Sacred Ashes sneaking in through a partially collapsed tunnel, and stumbled onto Corypheus’ ritual.
