Hello! I'm sorry if the question seems dumb, but your Hawke's tattoos seems like vallaslin! Do you have a HC for it? Just being nosy ^^ *hugs*
Hey there, don’t worry, it’s not dumb at all, and thank you for the interest :)
I downloaded lots of mods before playing DA2 for the first time. One mod added lots of tattoos to the CC. I kind of ignored the fact that some of them looked like Vallaslin. I saw this one, loved it, said “Hey she can have a tattoo on her face right” and started to play. Only wondered what was wrong when I saw Merrill for the first time.
The headcanon I made up because of my dumbness:
Marlow has elvish ancestors so her family was always close with the Dalish Clan that lived nearby. She spent a lot of time with the local Elves and made some wonderful friends there. When her best friend got her Vallaslin, she insisted that Marlow got one too.
I actually don’t think that Dalish Elves would give a human a Vallaslin, no matter how close they’re with the clan, so I’ve been thinking about removing it. Maybe I’ll do that for my next playthrough.
