(as ((almost)) always, I’m rather dissatisfied with the ingame character customization options, so here’s a thing I made on rinmarugames as well)
NAME: Eirian Tabris
AGE: 20 at the start of DA:O
GENDER: Femme / She/Her
ORIENTATION: Bisexual
PROFESSION: Grey Warden, though she’d love to retire and just fuck off to the mountains to be a hermit (with Zevran, of course).
BACKGROUND:
Eirian grew up in Denerim’s alienage, and was every bit as much of a troublemaker as Adaia Tabris-- at least until her death. After that, she seemed to mellow out, instead choosing to help keep the younger elves in the alienage out of trouble. She would often tell stories with elves as the heroes, up until the very day she left.
Though she wasn’t much of a troublemaker, Eirian still kept up with her weapons training, becoming very skilled with both a sword and shield, as well as dual wielding daggers, to the point where she can switch between them as necessary.
When her father told her that she was to be married, she was disappointed, but she accepted it with grace, and was deeply saddened at Nelaros’s death, as she’d quickly decided that he seemed agreeable, and that they could, at the very least, be friends. All the same, joining the Grey Wardens seemed to be a blessing, at least when Duncan took her from the alienage.
PHYSICAL
Body type: Even for an elf, Eirian is quite short, though her narrow frame hides just how muscular she actually is-- something that she often finds useful, when having to pass guards unseen.
Eyes: Green
Hair: Dark brown, and reasonably wavy. She never lets it get overly long, often chopping it off at the shoulders when it begins to do so.
Skin: Medium brown that tends not to darken so much as freckle with time spent in the sun.
Height: 5′0″ (I’m not sure if this is actually short for an elf, but I’m working with the assumption that it is? if anyone has any resources for elf height, please point them my way.)
Weight: 113 pounds.
SKILLS (S.P.E.C.I.A.L + M)
Strength - 8/10 Eirian has a tendency, on the road, to pick up (almost) anything that isn’t nailed down, and on more than one occasion, she’s picked Zevran up off the ground while hugging him, without any difficulty. (Once, she picked Alistair up, but as he was wearing armor, that ended poorly for the both of them.)
Perception - 7/10 She’s quite observant, something that she had to learn early, especially after her mother’s death. Oftentimes, she can tell when something is about to go wrong, and over time, the group learned to trust her instincts-- more often than not, they were right.
Endurance - 9/10 Though she sometimes struggles to keep up with the taller members of her group, Eirian still has a great deal of stamina, and she took the sheer amount of walking required to save Ferelden-- and Thedas-- from the Blight in stride.
Charisma - 10/10 Eirian could charm you out of your last cent without batting an eye. Normally, though, she uses her persuasiveness to convince those in positions of power to, well... not be shitty people?
Intelligence - 7/10 She’s quite smart, though not necessarily in the academic sense. Her intelligence lies more in the ability to read people, and to interact with them smoothly, and she wasn’t very interested in reading or doing her letters when she was young-- something she’s trying to make up for now.
Agility - 6/10 Eirian is reasonably adept with dual wielding, and more rogue-like pastimes, but she’s more of a warrior at heart, and it shows.
Luck - 7/10 All things considered, Eirian considers herself to be lucky, in a twisted sense of the word. She’s survived things that most couldn’t, but lost too much on the way, as far as she’s concerned.
Magic - 0/10 Eirian has no magical ability, though thanks to Zevran, she’s decent at basic sleight-of-hand tricks.
LIKES
Colors - Earthy colors (browns, greens), and blues.
Smells - Rain, campfires, her father’s cooking.
Food - She’ll eat just about anything, but she loves the food that her family made back in the alienage, as well as much of the Antivan cuisine that Zevran convinced her to try.
Fruit - Oranges. She also likes the taste of lemons, but after biting into one as she would an orange, she’s very cautious.
Drinks - Mostly water, and some fruit juices.
Alcoholic drinks - Eirian’s not overly picky, when you want to get drunk, you get drunk, as far as she’s concerned. Still though, her favorite is probably wine.
OTHER
Smoke: No.
Drugs: Nope.
Driver’s license?: Not really applicable? And she never learned how to ride a horse, anyway.
