(inquisition spoilers below) My inquisitor. The first two are her at the beginning of inquisition, the second two are after “In Your Heart Shall Burn” when they first get to Skyhold, and the last two are after “Here Lies the Abyss” and her connection to the Hero of Ferelden and true age is revealed.
NAME: Dannielle Ilonen Arainai Amell AGE: 12 1/2 (at the conclave). Until “Here Lies the Abyss” she is pretending to be closer to 16 (at Leliana’s suggestion) RACE: city elf (Denerim alienage. Adopted by Zevran and Sofia Amell after the fifth blight) CLASS: mage, elemental-rift specialization SEXUAL ORIENTATION: ?!?!?! ROMANCE: canonically none (major crush on Krem, infatuated with Cullen, Dorian, and Varric for a short time) TYPICAL PARTY: Varric, Cassandra, and Bull (sometimes Sera, Dorian, and Cassandra) CHOICES MADE: sided with the mages as allies, Stroud left in the fade, Wardens recruited, Celene rules alone, Bull made Tal-Vashoth, Cole made more human, Blackwall promised to the wardens, Inquisitor drank from the well, Samson joined inquisition (she’s a recruiter judge), Leliana becomes divine
OPINIONS OF COMPANIONS/ADVISORS: Leliana: Leliana is pretty much her godmother, ergo, she’s a surrogate mother for the missing warden commander. While she seems more edgy and stabby than Danni remembers, she eventually helps her see mercy once more (Leliana’s personal quest). Leliana convinced Danni to hide under a guise to keep her connection to Amell on the down low so she says she’s formerly from clan Lavellan. Cullen: Danni thinks he’s pretty. She knows about his history with her mother and is cautious of the former templar at first, but grows to like him a lot (has a sorta crush on him for a short time). Josephine: She’s adorable and Danni loves talking with her about pretty dresses. She does hate politics though and dealing with Orlesians and avoids that at all cost. Claudette Hawke: She is amazing and funny and she can definitely see the deep friendship between her and Varric. Wishes she would have stayed on as an advisor instead of going to Weisshaupt. Cassandra: She’s a scary hardass but Danni grows to see her as a true friend and takes her along on many quests as her warrior. Varric: He’s incredible and Danni is infatuated for some time over the storytelling dwarf. His humor and stories keep her sane through the first few months of the inquisition. It also helps that he’s only a little shorter than her and it helps her feel less like an infant. Solas: He’s an annoying, fade obsessed asshole who keeps thinking she’s dalish. She doesn’t trust him and really doesn’t like how condescending he is. Blackwall: She doesn’t buy his bullshit for a second. She thinks he’s a good man and a great fighter, but his secret, oh so mysterious grey warden stance doesn’t fool her for a second and it drives her a little nuts. She likes him a lot better as Thom Rainier. Vivienne: Immediately entranced by her beauty and grace. She doesn’t agree with a lot of her views on mages, but she can’t deny that she’s a skilled mage and a very good teacher. She takes lessons from Lady Vivienne at times and always takes her on her dragon hunts with Bull and Sera. The Iron Bull: Danni is intimidated and awed by Bull instantly. She knew Sten, her mother’s friend, but Bull is the antithesis of the hornless qunari. (She also has a major crush on his lieutenant so . . . >_>) Sera: At first Danni is a bit startled by Sera, but they bond quickly over their lack of elfy-ness. They often pull pranks and have fun since they can relate over their birth places and their closeness in age. Dorian: They are BFFs. Danni crushed on the man and always flirts with him even though she knows he has a thing for Cullen (headcanon alert). They talk about everything, especially since they experienced the dark future together and it left Danni rattled for the rest of inquisition when it comes to red lyrium. Cole: He is a sweet baby boy. Danni instantly took him in and refused to throw him out of Skyhold. She may not understand everything he says but she will let no one hurt him.
