Davhalla's First Kiss

~Pure lips brought to old like a moth drawn to a flame Sudden desire leapt amidst the ruined home while The crow and wolf dance a gilded refrain Love and hope are very dear Yet they ask a question close What secrets do we two hold?~

Part 1 of my final giveaway prize is a simple flat color piece for @elevanetheirin I hope you like it! 

I’ve also done a sketch but it’s on paper and I’ll have to get to a scanner before I can post it and that might take me a bit! :)

Davhalla Lavellan "Chibi" Style

My first ever art of my Inquisitor Davhalla Lavellan🥹 I'm still trying to figure out her story but I get the feel that she's cheerful, smart, easily distracted, and loves history. She's my first mage Inquisitor too so she's the First to her clan and has an affinity for knowledge and secrets, hence why she chose the Dirthamen vallaslin. I'm not good with lore so be easy on me lol

I love how tall Solas is and I am ever convinced my jocks who romance him delight in him being taller cause they can then weird people out by picking him up and shit.

Like Davhalla Lavellan isn’t short for an elf but she has to crane her neck to see Solas. And she delights in casually lifting him up when he’s found sleeping in a weird place to ‘experience the fade’ (Solas is commit to the bit on his identity. Also he is often tired anyway) and carrying him around. It’s funny.

Revas Lavellan who is buddies with Bull delights in picking him up during battle. It’s canon he often gets to close to battles (watched a TikTok about how he would so throw hands with people and I can’t get the idea he was 100% in the thick of battle as a young man so he’s not used to staying back) and I can see Revas sweeping in, grabbing her boyfriend to sling him on her shoulder and booking it. This woman has picked him up to show she can do it in front of people. She has carried Solas when he’s injured.

It is so funny to me.

My calm hides a storm.

Quite a few characters have this trait (I have a type), but I’ll stick with Davhalla for now. She’s the least spoily and I love Saltmom.

Davhalla takes professionalism very seriously. She’s an assassin living within a pacifist clan and mostly targeting humans. She needs to keep everything in check at all times. A slip-up could get her or others killed. She prefers over-preparing and believes in living to fight another day. If she’s not sure she can take out a mark cleanly, she won’t do it.

Davhalla is also a believer in what she does. She doesn’t love it–she wishes that she could have had a quiet life and that her son wouldn’t be trapped into it as well, but it’s necessary. There is no justice system for elves, and someone needs to honor the dead. Sometimes a slit throat doesn’t seem enough in light of what they’ve done, but she can’t risk more than that. Everything is weighed on a scale, and tipping it too far one way is a risk not only to her but to her clan.

Thanks for the ask!

elfroot and rashvine for salt mom <3

Elfroot :: What is a small, mundane thing that brings your character great comfort?

Her little boy. And when she’s worrying about him, she’ll sometimes take an overnight watch. She likes sitting on top of an aravel and watching the sun come up. It clears her head.

Rashvine :: Who/what is the one thing or person your character simply cannot stand?

Davhalla’s relationship with her parents is strained at best, but they’re not the ones she can’t stand. She just needs space sometimes. The person she really can’t stand? Keeper Emith. She rationalizes his actions by saying that what he did was the best for the clan but he was the one to talk her parents out of doing the right thing. He ruined her life and her son’s life and possibly even her grandchild’s life and he doesn’t even know.

Thank you for the ask!

1 and 2 for Mahvir?

Character Solidifying

1. How does your character think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?

Mahvir doesn’t think much about his father; he doesn’t have one. He was an Arlathvhen baby, the result of a tryst between Davhalla and a man from another clan who. Uh. Maybe she didn’t catch the name of.

Mahvir feels some passing curiosity about his father and would talk to him if he ever had the chance, but it doesn’t have much bearing on his life. Dalish children aren’t just raised by their parents. They’re raised by the community as a whole. Maybe he didn’t know his biological father but he had Sulvun’s parents, Faron and Rosala, the hunters around camp who would humor him and his million questions, and his mother was quite attentive.

2. Their mother? How do they think of her? What do they hate? Love? What influence - literal or imagined - did the mother have?

Mahvir’s relationship with Davhalla is complicated. She was, for the most part, a good mother. She allowed him a fair amount of free reign and balanced it with responsibility and bonding time. She could be a bit overprotective when he was very young, but she grew out of it as Mahvir gained a bit more autonomy.

When he was ten, Davhalla decided he was old enough to understand the situation their family was in and the role he would have to play. Mahvir accepted the facts of everything, but he became terrified that Davhalla would abandon him. He became a bit clingy with her and he was anxious when she went away on hunts. He had no way of asking her whether she was planning to kill humans or how dangerous it would be. He always had to face the possibility that she might not return.

During adolescence, this turned into a touch of resentment. It wasn’t that he was afraid to start killing humans–he thought he would have his mother by his side–but he was angry about how afraid he was for her. When she did die, it didn’t have anything to do with Vir Banal’ras at all. She just got sick and couldn’t get better. Sometimes he can’t understand how things like that just happen.

(I can’t quite remember whether you followed me before or after I posted Osprey, but if you want to know more about Mahvir and his mom, their relationship is covered in Meadowlark and Osprey.)

Thanks for the ask!
