👀😍💐 for your Lavellan? ^^
Oh boy, these are fun questions for Isala. Thank you for asking!
👀 Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?
Isala doesn't really believe she is attractive. She does believe some people find her attractive if they express interest but it will always be a little surprising to her (even if she doesn't express that).
Depending on the context, she will absolutely use it to her advantage. It becomes more of a question if that advantage is worth it, because she typically finds it isn't.
😍 What does your OC find irresistible in others?
The irony for Isala is what makes you irresistible will also make her incredibly skittish. She finds intelligence and competency to be incredibly attractive, but with that attraction come a lot of wariness. Those two traits in the past have led her into situations she'd like to avoid, so she is incredibly difficult to warm up to
Intelligence. Isala is profoundly attracted to intelligence and is part of what draws her to many of the Inquisition members. Especially Josephine and what first drew her into Solas. Though he wasn't always the most kind when displaying it, there was that initial draw. It is also what got her to gradually warm up to Bull, though it is also part of why she was wary of him for a lot longer than anyone else haha. So intelligence is something that is irresistible to her but it isn't a trait that will blind her to other things. It can be a double edge sword.
Additionally, competency. A competent leader, a competent scout, a competent goat herder. Competency is hot to her not only because it means she can leave one thing to that person and not have to worry about cleaning up. She has been through a lot, and being able to rely on someone and give that trust is something she values highly.
(She also loves callouses because it shows a life lived, among other things.)
💐 What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?
She never proactively wooed someone. Her first engagement to Inan, he wooed her. So she doesn't have any particular style. However, when she is trying to show she cares, she does so through mundane acts of care. Things that are easy enough to pass off as something platonic due to the way she was raised, such acts are just how you show interest in any relationship; platonic or otherwise.
So she does things that range from making food, hunting, gifting them something she knows they use regularly, doing a small chore like mending a small hole in their laundry. She will also make time to do something they like with them, play a game, read together, or spar.
She wooed Iron Bull by getting a bigger bed for her quarters so he could comfortably spend the night. She got a bigger tub so they could both sit in it together after sex or returning from a trip.
The entire time she swore up and down it wasn't anything meaningful (she didn't think it was at the time), but a practical investment. She wasn't expecting their arrangement to end any time soon and she wasn't going to neglect his comfort just because he was.
