Rules: Type [Your OC's Name] + core into search on Pinterest and use 9 images to make a mood board.
And...this was maybe not the most ideal game for my girls, simply because all four of them have names I made up. So I had to put up with Pinterest searching for something adjacent and hoping I landed on something workable. I think I got there. And I did do all four of them, because I could. First names only because three of the surnames wouldn't have helped and Hawke's probably would've been cheating. Or at least skewed things in a way I didn't want.
Castelin Cousland — "Castelin Core"
Search results showed for "catelin core" and "castle core." I'll take it.
And somehow, not only did I actually get a few swords and a couple of redheads in addition to all the castles, I got a castle by the sea (Highever), a picture of seashells for some reason (it works, I'm not complaining), and roses (Alistair's gift). Works for me.
The rest are below the cut.
Aelinn Hawke — "Aelinn Core"
Search results for "aelin core," which is how I learned there's apparently a book character named Aelin. A lot of the results were for her. Most of them didn't work. A few did.
Fire, a life of fighting, trauma...kind of a dark moodboard but it is what it is.
Tyria Lavellan — "Tyria Core"
Search results were for "tyra core," but it still got me some hippie nature stuff, so I was able to pull something together. Also a lot of links to Uquizzes and people offering Google docs to help with writing or OC development. Go figure.
Saadrah Mercar — "Saadrah Core"
Poor Saadrah got search-corrected to "sarah core." Sarah seems like a fun person, though, given we managed a knife, petting a cat, some earrings that look like they'd be right at home dangling from Saadrah's horns, and a pair of quotes that work for her and Lucanis.
This was fun! Maybe next time I'll do it for my Shepard. She's at least got a "normal" name.
i feel like i did this forever ago? and i couldn't be bothered to look so

Kellan:
(DISCLAIMER: i still do not know this man, and i've chosen to let this excercise teach me things about him. for instance, he is a painter (????unexpected) and he drives a motorcycle. these are canon to me now)
i hate telling people i like whump because it is a spectrum of stuff from "character has a cold" to "character is brutally mutilated yet is still alive somehow" and everyone assumes you mean the latter and thinks youre evil or a disgusting freak or something similar without letting you explain

I had hoped for a bit more variety, but looks like Pinterest stuck to my "Warrior Lavellan" board like glue with a dash of some of my other environmental boards.
It was interesting at any rate, especially because I rarely put together mood boards! Thanks for the tag, @christeeenith and @theriothag, this was a fun exercise!
low pressure/stakes tagging: @opal-apparition, @elfyroot, @vanillastrange, and @el-las-in, @modestharellan and of course open to anyone who thinks it's fun and wants to give it a go.
Go to Pinterest, type in your OC name + core and find 9 images to represent your character
