Character profile for Fable!
Gender and Sexuality: Female | Polyamorous Lesbian
Ethnicity/Species: Vashoth/Qunari
Birthplace and Birthdate: Western Free Marches, 9:14 Dragon
Guilty Pleasures: Taking long, floral-scented baths. She also enjoys cursing but feels bad about it. (She usually apologizes to Andraste afterwards.)
Phobias: She’s afraid of the Saarebas because they’re what she could have been, in another life. She’s also afraid of possession because nothing scares her more than her free will being forcibly taken from her.
What They Would Be Famous For: Being the Qunari Chosen of Andraste who stood in the face of the Qun and stopped their invasion of southern Thedas.
What They Would Get Arrested For: Red Jenny shenanigans with Sera most likely.
OC You Ship Them With: No one yet. Anybody wanna flirt with my girl?
OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Just going out on a limb here but maybe @ourinquisitorialness‘s Ihsaan? Fable blasphemes often and is a mage, two things I’m sure Ihsaan does not approve of.
Favorite Movie/Book Genre: She enjoys adventure stories and mysteries. She is also partial to frightening tales told around the campfire.
Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: The Damsel in Distress. She hasn’t met nearly enough women who wouldn’t fight tooth and nail to get out of trouble to support what the vast majority of hero’s tales have tried to make her believe about damsels.
Talents and/or Powers: Being mostly self-trained, Fable is very talented at using magic for practical, everyday purposes. She is particularly adept at healing magic but she also has traditional healing training as well. She’s also really good at gardening.
Why Someone Might Love Them: Fable is kind and earnest and always looks after her own. She has a straightforward and level-headed personality and she doesn’t put much stake in willful deception so you can take what she says at face value. Despite her imposing size, she has a gentle air about her and she enjoys playing games. She is also very skilled at making flower crowns, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Why Someone Might Hate Them: Due to her straight-forward nature, sometimes Fable can be rather blunt and occasionally offensive. Especially if the doesn’t understand the nuances of a situation or she’s frustrated. She also swears a lot when she’s upset which might offend certain sensibilities.
How They Change: Fable really grows more confident over the course of Inquisition. At first, she doesn’t really understand why she is in charge. Sure she has some useful skills but other than the mark on her hand, she is nothing exceptional, and she has none of the skills required to be a leader. Over the course of her time with the Inquisition, she is able to learn that she does have what it take to do all the things she is being asked to do and be more than just the mercenary healer she thought she would always be. She’s also always been self-conscious about being qunari living in a society where she is so obviously other. She knows she’ll always be different from the people who live and fight beside her but the Inquisition gave her more sincere acceptance than she had ever felt previously. In the Inquisition, she found a family.
Why You Love Them: She’s such a sweetheart and is in a perpetual state of confusion as to why she is in charge of anything. She is also just unbearably cute and always has been which I will illustrate with an anecdote. When she was a small baby lesbian just first learning about the Chant, Fable thought that all of the portraits of Andraste were the most beautiful thing she had seen in all of her young life. As a result, she developed a tiny gay baby crush on the Bride of the Maker and prayed to her every night to tell Andraste how her day had been and ask her blessing. This lasted until she was old enough to finally realized that that was not exactly the perpetual love all of the Maker’s children were supposed to share with Our Lady Redeemer. Sera teased Fable mercilessly when she found out.
