I tried drawing lani and her best friend as children hope you like it. And a little piece of my headcannon background. Her friend On'Ala shows when she first learns magic. Lani is in awe by it, that is until she discovers she can use magic as well. Because of clan Lavellan being friendly with humans, a lack of needing another Mage, and Lani's inferior magic skills, she is destined to be sent away to survive on her own. This causes jealousy of her childhood friend. She asks the creator for a way for her to stay and wishes that she could be keepers first instead, a wish that will soon haunt her forever. After an argument with On'Ala, Lani runs away and her friend tries to find her. The weather takes a terrible turn and the two are stranded in a blizzard. With Lani's magic still lacking in skill she is helpless and On'Ala's ice magic does little good in the cold. The two girls huddle together for warmth and pray to be found soon. Lani's instinct kicks in when all seems lost; her magic keeps her body warm enough to survive the night. Come next morning she wakes to find her friend has frozen to death. Soon they are found by the clan and with no other mages Lani is named keepers first, and resented for this by the clan. She practices her magic relentlessly in effort to make up for her failure to protect her friend and becomes a powerful pyromancer.
