I started with making a little chibi self-portrait for my avatars and then went on to a couple of OCs and got... a little carried away...

Self-portrait / Sabella (Pathfinder: Extinction Curse) / Frithenen (homebrew D&D) / Allecra Cousland (DA:O) / Ester Hawke (DA2) / Inanni Lavellan (DA:I) / Rani Shepard (ME) / Nina Ryder (ME:A) / Adrien Ryder (ME:A)

I saw other people having fun with this dollmaker and wanted in on the action. Dress-up dolls are my not so secret vice....

(this is not my fan art, I didn’t draw them, they’re the product of the dollmaker linked above, pleeeease don’t tag these things as fan art!)

I think Frithenen and Renata are the only ones I actually designed with those models in mind from the beginning, most of them are models I found later and went “Oh damn, that’s them!” and now use them as a little extra reference material to help make them distinct.

I did that archetypes thing for Rani, Nina and Inanni. I’m not totally sold on Inanni’s results, but the other two are spot on (as long as you are willing to interpret Visionary as “I will try anything onc-OH SHIT THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!!”).

I have been encouraged to try some writing about my characters, but I could do with some prompts! I have a long car journey tomorrow in which to think about them. I'll take them for Rani Shepard and Inanni Lavellan. My other DA characters- Allecra Cousland and Ester Hawke- are not nearly as well developed and I’ve not really posted anything about them before but I could have a stab at something for them.

(Results may vary and they might not surface for a couple of days, and may just be me rambling.)

For every “★” I get, I will post a fact about my characters. 

(but maybe give me a character and a theme as a helpful starting point)

Inanni Lavellan was bonded to another Elven woman, Jaera, long before the Inquisition. They broke the bonds at the last Arlathaven when a clan that had lost most of it’s hunters appealed for people to join them and help them recover; Jaera wanted to go- she’d come from an alienage originally and had far fewer ties to clan Lavellan- but Inanni wanted to stay with her family. So after discussing it they parted ways fairly amicably, accepting that their time together had been good but was now coming to a close and they’d be on different paths from now on. 

Allecra Cousland keeps a journal. It’s a battered thing, the leather covers half hanging off, the spine broken, pages falling out and pasted back in, extra sheets wedged in, all kept together in her pack with a length of ratty string. She bought it in Denerim back during the fifth blight and she’s kept it updated ever since. She keeps notes on her travels, on the darkspawn, on her discoveries, there are scribbled memos to herself and finely hand drawn maps of where she’s been. There are pressed plant cuttings, along with detailed drawings of medicinal plants and notes on their uses. There are personal musings, her fears and her hopes. Between two blank pages, well cared for and wrapped in delicate tissue paper, are a number of dried rose petals.

Inanni Lavellan / Not a Herald of anything. Except maybe knocking heads together across Thedas. And knives. Punching. Ok- Herald of a couple of things. But definitely not Andraste.
