Quick reference master post for Mesalla since I want to start doing stuff for her again
Unfortunately I didnt play on PC or PS4 so uh my references are not great
First art is by @glooptastic second piece is by @tomatotimes :)
Mess is a bunch of contradictions:
all prominant elfy features jammed into one small face that should look aggressive, but the way she holds it leans more towards uncertainty and worry. Shes tall- 5ft 10, but all hollow bird bone limbs, gangly. She also has a fairly deep voice, but speaks softly.
Random bio stuff:
Storm mage, lightning comes easier to her than anything else. The best part of Skyhold is the storms it gets being so high up. Mess dragged all of her bedding onto her balcony and sleeps out there no matter the temperature. When it rains she pulls all her stuff just in the doorway and watches from inside. Her balcony doors are rarely closed and her chambers are always freezing, but she likes the cold and you can see the clouds.
Varric's nickname for her is Sparrow. She flits from conversation to conversation, never comfortable enough to stay long but curious regardless.
She loves languages, and has a knack for speaking them. Became closer friends with Dorian and Bull over it, because they might be older and intimidating but they know /something new/ and it's worth the risk. She bugs Varric for the dwarven he knows and in turn they get to swapping stories, leading to the closest friendship she has.
She has no canon romance, at nineteen none of them felt right for her.
