*Rubs hands together* right! Gonna put this under a read more, it got long.
Full Name: Rhoda LavellanGender and Sexuality: Agender, leaning towards feminine. Sexuality unknown, probably pansexual.Pronouns: She/her, they/themEthnicity/Species: Dalish elfBirthplace and Birthdate: Northern Free Marches, 9:17.Guilty Pleasures: The only pleasure she’s likely to feel guilt about is the approval and friendship of authority figures. On principle, she disapproves of them, but at the same time she’s drawn to them. Praise and genuine compliments please her far more than she’d like anyone to know.Phobias: Deep down, she’s afraid that she’ll show someone her soul and be rejected. She doesn’t care if people don’t like her for her opinions, but she is terrified of them hating her for her feelings. She doesn’t like spiders or crystallised fruit (she says that’s NOT a phobia.)What They Would Be Famous For: Tearing down established hierarchies, abolishing the circle by any means necessary and speaking her mind to nobles.What They Would Get Arrested For: Speaking her mind to nobles… and also setting fire to them.OC You Ship Them With: None yet!OC Most Likely To Murder Them: She hasn’t met any OCs to wind up yet, other than Tamik, who wouldn’t actually murder her no matter what she did. She might think really hard about it, though.Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Elven lore and modern political texts (which she will either heartily approve of or throw across the room in disgust.)Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Anything damsel-in-distress related.Talents and/or Powers: None in particular, but she’s a skilled mage and quite a good all-round fighter.Why Someone Might Love Them: She’s independent, intelligent and has very strong opinions and the ability to articulate them. She also cares very much about the poor and oppressed, although she might show it in strange ways. If you get close to her she’s very endearing and affectionate.Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s LOUD LOUD LOUD and if you piss her off she won’t shut up about it or forgive you. She’s extremely rebellious and tends to try to break rules just for the sake of it, and she pushes away friends easily by being prickly and easily angered.How They Change: Rhoda learns to take responsibility for both herself and others. She learns to work as part of a team, and even to enjoy it; as she meets new people, she becomes more accepting of diverse opinions, even if she’ll never agree. She allows herself to make friends without sacrificing her values. She learns to be vulnerable sometimes.Why You Love Them: I have to admit that Rhoda has some of my mum’s compulsive arguing tendencies; since they have somewhat passed on to me I identify with them, but I also enjoy her ability to speak her mind in literally any circumstance. She’s not afraid to be herself in terms of opinions, but her fear of showing genuine emotion is endearing.
Full Name: Elsa CadashGender and Sexuality: cis female, homosexual (but doesn’t know it for a long time).Pronouns: She/herEthnicity/Species: Surface dwarfBirthplace and Birthdate: Tantervale, 9:16Guilty Pleasures: Time by herself, just reading or thinking. At home she had to hide books from her father and would sneak away to the attic to read. Pretty clothes, long coats, jewellery, anything expensive.Phobias: Being tricked or trapped, betrayal, having the few things she owns herself taken away from her. The powerlessness of realising a situation is out of her control.What They Would Be Famous For: Her smuggling talent, however much it may come to burden her later on.What They Would Get Arrested For: …Once again, her smuggling talent! Although she’s unlikely to get caught, she’s too good. OC You Ship Them With: None yet!OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Again, none that I can think of. She gets on quite well with Rhoda because as her opinions begin to take root they match up quite well.Favorite Movie/Book Genre: History, escapist fantasy fiction.Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Plot devices that seem like a cheat to the audience. She likes to be able to try to figure out the plot ahead; if it’s resolved by something that appears out of the blue it angers her.Talents and/or Powers: Politically shrewd and a very good liar. The ability to lift a sword that’s taller than her probably counts too.Why Someone Might Love Them: She’s very clever and good at solving puzzles, the sort of person who would willingly help you out with your homework and enjoy it. She’s kind of a closet nerd and is adorable when the nerdiness shows through her reserve. She has a very strong sense of duty and will protect her friends no matter what, even if they annoy her. She’s also got very good taste and is excellent at gift-giving.Why Someone Might Hate Them: She’s reserved and to begin with seems to have little personality. It’s difficult to get through her shell because she’s learned to put on a different face to survive, and she won’t tell you this because she’s not really aware of it herself. She’s had an upbringing that hasn’t put her in contact with people outside the criminal sphere and is somewhat lacking in social skills. Also, she’s kind of irritatingly organised.How They Change: She learns that it’s safe for her to be an individual, not just part of a system. She doesn’t belong to her father or the Carta; freedom gets a hold on her and she begins to realise what it means. At the same time, she becomes afraid that the Carta will find her and she’ll have to return.Why You Love Them: I really love Elsa’s character development! It’s a lot of fun to think about how her personality blossoms away from her early life. She’s also a pretty badass tiny warrior.
Full Name: Tamik Adaar (I tentatively decided that tamik means something akin to ‘the first day of the rains’ in qunlat, the connotation being that this is the point when worries about the coming year dissipate; the rains have come, there will be a harvest).Gender and Sexuality: cis female, asexual/ ???romantic, leaning towards women. Pronouns: She/herEthnicity/Species: VashothBirthplace and Birthdate: 9:14, outskirts of a village in eastern Ferelden.Guilty Pleasures: Bad fiction and bad music. She doesn’t feel too much guilt about it, though. Feeding people far too much food and watching them loll about, unable to move.Phobias: Losing someone she’s responsible for, causing or indirectly causing the death of a friend or any innocent. She’s particularly vulnerable to the accusation of being a murderer because she doesn’t really want to fight at all, but it’s something she’s accepted she has to do.What They Would Be Famous For: Probably nothing, in universes where she’s not Inquisitor. Someone who was nice to you one time in a bar.What They Would Get Arrested For: Stealing something by mistake? Possibly sleeping in the wrong doorway or going to the wrong place for work or playing music on the wrong street corner.OC You Ship Them With: Platonically, @thefluffynug‘s Seth. Romantically, no-one yet.OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Seth, if she left those cushions lying all over the living room one more time or what the hell have you done to my gym stuff Tamik-Also Rhoda if she tries to make one more stupid political alliance rather than just letting her beat up the bad guys already.Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Adventure! Romance! Action! Anything exciting and not too intellectual. She doesn’t read much recreationally because she never learned to a great standard, but she loves stories.Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: When all the main characters are men and women are only peripheral/ nonexistent.Talents and/or Powers: Good musician, decent with a bow.Why Someone Might Love Them: She’s a very lovable, extroverted personality, expansive and loving of practically everyone and everything. She’s non-judgemental and accepting of diverse opinions and personalities. Almost always upbeat and cheerful, she accepts her fate stoically and without complaint. She’s always genuine and warm, devoted to her friends with boundless energy and patience. She’s almost impossible to anger and shows her emotions clearly and without reserve.Why Someone Might Hate Them: She doesn’t question much or consider changing the bigger picture, although very willing to help individuals. Her small-town upbringing and adherence to her parents advice to keep to her station and not make trouble make her rather fearful of changing the status quo or stepping outside her role. She knows nothing about politics and shows no willingness or ability to grasp them, and is a terrible liar. She’s also naive about people’s intentions and is therefore usually unable to tell when she should lie even if she could.How They Change: Tamik becomes a little less naive about people and more aware of her own power to change things, for better or worse, although she still uses it sparingly. She learns to put down roots and make lasting friendships, to receive love as well as give it, while still retaining her love of freedom. She also grows into the responsibility of her role well and becomes a more parent-like, caring figure. Perhaps she grows up a bit more.Why You Love Them: Tamik’s unrelenting love for all the world always cheers me up when I think about it and how it affects all the little things she does, all the conversations she has and the tasks she fulfills. She simply will not let it go because it sustains her; even experience of the world’s worst horrors won’t extinguish it. At the same time, she’s a very ordinary, un-special person who is only a hero because of circumstance, and yet accepts her role without question even if it kills her.
