Act I of DA2
Hawke: Please, Maker, just let me have one good day!
The Maker: Oh Maker, you again?! Give it a rest, buddy!
during Act I
Bethany: I hate this house! I hate the color of these walls! I hate the fact that this place always smells like rats!
Eden: You know what? I'm really tired of your bellyaching. I worked really hard at making this a nice place for us to live.
Bethany: I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Eden: It's okay.
Gamlen: See? This is a great house!
Eden: Shut up, this place is a hole.
Varric: Fenris, why do you wear your hair like that? Your hair looks so sexy pushed back. Hawke, will you please tell him his hair looks sexy pushed back?
Eden: ...Your hair looks sexy pushed back.
Eden: Nice vest. I like the...uh...big metal buttons.
Anders: Actually, they're snaps. Listen, maybe we should go out sometime?
Eden, already thinking up a fake number: Why don't I give you my number?
Varric: Anders is a great man. He understands the real truth about children.
Eden: What's that?
Varric: Sometimes they die.
7-12 for Eden!
7. Is there anything significant about their height?
She’s taller than Fenris by like...several inches and post-Carver’s death is the tallest Hawke.
8. What (if anything) do you relate to within their character/story?
Having generalized anxiety disorder, being on the ace spectrum and bi, having very noticeable eyes, being a female-aligned nonbinary person oops I haven’t said that publicly yet but whatever, and having kind of a messed-up familial structure/past.
9. Are they based off of you in some way?
A lot. Poor Eden got a lot of my emotional baggage (see above), but she also gets Fenris, so I don’t feel completely awful about it.
10. If they have an LI, how much of their character is tailored to be compatible to that person?
A little bit. Her being grey-ace definitely works well with Fenris and was kind of added for those reasons (along with me reading Fenris as demi/grace and also me being thirsty for ace-spectrum representation). Her anxiety totally does not work well with that relationship because it can make her super-clingy and stressed.
11. Did you know what the OC’s sexuality would be at the time of their creation?
I think I at least knew that she’d be demi or grace and bi also totally not me projecting, but I wasn’t sure which specifically.
12. What have you found to be most difficult about creating art for your OC (any form of art: writing, drawing, edits, etc.)?
Sometimes it’s hard to separate myself from Eden because we’re so much alike in so many ways, but she has a fundamentally different life experience from mine and reacts differently than I do to a lot of situations. I need to be really careful that I don’t dump my whole entire self into her when I’m writing.

So I commissioned @orokay to draw my darling diplomatic Hawke, Eden, and she did an absolutely magnificent job. This is exactly how I pictured her—from the smile to the braid to the flowers—and I couldn’t be happier.
