💰 - GREED - What does my muse hoard, what do they need all of, what will they stop at nothing to get?
What’s that question, you know Aralc hoards all types of bread. Baguette, brioche, whole-wheat, white, country. And probably discovered the viennoiseries and decided they had their place on her table. If she wants your bread she’ll have it. You better hand it to her, she’ll be in your debt. Or you can stay in her way at your own risk. She used to hoard stripes of bark of different trees when younger, continued doing so during the Blight but probably lost her collection at some point and was too tired to redo it (plus it reminded her of Tamlen so no need to twist the knife in the wound). Instead she hoards arrowheads : 1) cuz some she’s never seen before 2) it’s a free way to get arrowheads instead of buying them. Recycling!

Xal does his morning stretching and feeds his bird Blue. Then goes around Skyhold to greet those who are awake ! And some mornings he needs to take care of a particular tent… Man’s got his needs after all…
Aralc first untangles her hair for the night sleep. Then goes to bathe if possible… And some stretching too, after putting clothes that won’t shock the others…
36. what is their “nighttime ritual”?
Xal bathes in the evening, helps soothe the tension from the day. He likes to spend some time in the tavern with his crew before heading back to his quarters when everyone leaves. He finishes some reports until midnight, spends a dozen minutes on his balcony outside watching the stars and then goes to bed, sometimes reading a book.
When she’s on guard duty, she usually sharpens her daggers and checks her bow and arrows. She silently patrols around the camp. When she’s off guard, she puts some traps around the camp for game (after eating of course). Then she just pulls up whatever she was working on : learning to read, to write, asking questions to her campmates until they push her away. She braids her hair for the night and continues reading in a tree before going to bed.
Tagged by too many people oh my god I am so sorry I’m late :’) I’ll try using all of your tags to make more of my babies :D
So to begin : thanks for @bogatyris & @vilemie for the tag <3<3
Most under the cut cuz it’s a bit long :v
Aralc Mahariel 🏹
Who named them/Significance of their name:
(It’s originally my name backwards, but I have a story for it anyways :>)
Cenerë’ìle, Aralc’s mom, had trouble having children. So when Elanoròn and her learned they were finally having a child, they wanted to give her a name to be remembered : Ára- dawn in elven language, journey in the Mahariel dialect + alcor- shrine.
Home they grew up in:
In her early years, she lived in clan Mahariel. At this time, they established their camp northwest of the Brecelian Forest.
After the clan was attacked, she was left in clan Sabrae, where she was raised by Ashalle, her parents’ friend.
Her home now is with her new family, the warden squad : @vilemie‘s Kristoff, @bogatyris‘s Callon, @quizzikemen‘s Archibald and @hinatanara‘s Shiva and Flinn.
Relationship with parents:
She lived happily with them the first six years. They were good parents, raised her well, in the Mahariel tradition.
Cenerë’ìle was strict but just, she raised her daughter to love and protect herself, without having to depend on anyone. Despite her severe build, she was a shelter for her daughter. She taught her how to hold a weapon, whatever it was ; she let her watch when she worked at the forge. She inherited her deadly look.
Elanoròn was softer than his wife, but not less strict. He was calmer, and taught his daughter how to deal with conflicts diplomatically. He was also the clan’s herbalist, so he showed her how to pick up plants, how to store them ; he showed her how to make traps, how to hold a bow. She inherited his skilled hands.
Then, she never saw them again. Ashalle was a good mother, and the Sabrae clan good teachers. But she never saw them as a family, like her parents. They were substitutes, and she was aware of that. It didn’t make her love them less.
One day as her squad approached a village, she met her parents again. The exchange was long ; Cenerë’ìle and Elanoròn were happy to see their daughter alive and well; and Aralc was happy to see her parents alive. But they all knew that they could never make up for the lost times. But she kept contact with them, and managed to find her original clan again.
Childhood friend(s):
Tamlen, Merill, Hawen and Osheen mainly. All from the Sabrae clan. She doesn’t remember her friends from clan Mahariel. They bonded wuiqckly, and did all sorts of pranks to the clan.
One day Aralc challenged them to throw halla poop. It was an aiming contest... Needless to say their clanmates weren’t very pleased. The group had to clean the whole camp and Aralc had to take care of the hallas for 3 weeks.
Favorite Toy:
She didn’t really have toys. Her grandfather did craft small animals for her that she kept in a box. But it was lost in the camp fire.
In clan Sabrae, she only had that soft tissue, a bit burnt on the sides, that belonged to her parents.
Later she kept pieces of paper or scrolls merchants would give her. She barely knew how to read, but she started with that.
Childhood Trauma?:
The clan fire. She was five/six years old ; one calm night, clan scouts came back ordering everyone to leave. The Mahariel clan started packing up quickly, saying goodbye to each other. Alas, they weren’t quick enough and the clan was quickly surrounded by their attackers : a group of elven extremists, known as clan Achar’nossë. They set fire as families ran away, then started chasing them.
Aralc never forgot their painted faces, in charcoal and red, nor their laughs filling the forest. Or the screams of people she knew.
After her parents dropped her off at clan Sabrae, she had a mental block and wouldn’t speak for several weeks. Marethari healed her and stayed with her, calming her nightmares.
She still has them sometimes.
Hobbies:
Aside from throwing halla poop around the clan ? She loved following the hunters, spying on them when they wouldn’t teach her.
With her friends, they would also explore all around the clan, following merchants, trading small stuff with them. As they got older, they were the group in charge of negociating with the merchants.
She liked crafting and put traps for hunting.
Childhood fear(s):
For a few months, any movement around the clan made her nervous. Scouts needed to rely on their eyesight as she used to freak out when seeing fire in the night.
Also mabaris. She was bitten by one, when she discovered an illegal human camp. But she’s just very careful and wary around them.
Quirks:
She liked climbing trees and sitting there. Or hanging from a branch. She liked seeing the world upside down. She had an accent when she arrived. Marethari taught her how to speak without it, but without her forgetting it.
She learned how to whistle quickly and made signals for her friends.
She has mesmerism abilites.
Three Words to describe them as a child:
Curious, leading, independant.

Thanks for the ask <3<3 Let’s go with the squad’s Mom™
7. How does your character perceive themselves ? Positive ? Negative ? Neutral ?
She doesn’t really have on opinion about herself ? She knows she’s grey, just like everyone else. Sometimes you’re doing good things, sometimes not. So I think she’d view herself positively because she’s confident and strong minded.
12. Describe 5 unusual characteristics your muse has
She can sleep anywhere - literally. On a branch, sitting, in usually uncomfortable positions. She can.
She has mesmerism abilties. She can calm down someone by placing her hands on their temples or taking their hands in hers ; it also gives her good massage abilites.
She can move her ears - makes little kids smile and laugh.
She has light dyslexia - so when she decides to learn to read properly, it’s hard at the beginning. But she perseveres.
She has a 3rd eye for detecting problems and bullshit. If she were Inquisitor, the problems would’ve been solved in two days.
Aralc. She would XD Maybe Miral if you piss him off enough…
10. Looks like they will murder you but is a sweetheart
Uh… idk ? Maelon maybe ? He may seem dangerous but deep down he cares. Aralc too maybe, she can have that deadly look but she cares if you’re important to her *looks at the warden squad*
24. Would bake a cake for a friend who is sad
And the winner is… XAL ! :DD He bakes cookies on a regular basis, so if someone’s feeling down, he bakes MORE cookies, and sometimes a cake to cheer them up. Their favourite of course…
