Headcanons for Velahari and Solas, 1-3 and 5-8?

1. Who cooks?

Solas tries, but usually it’s Velahari. Though, they do enjoy spending a Saturday afternoon in the kitchen where she tries to teach him the basics - more than once, though, they end up coated in flour and kissing on the floor. Fena’dea also may or may not have pictures from ‘accidentally’ walking in on that once.

2. Who’s the messiest? The cleanest?

Neither are particularly messy, though I would say Solas is the cleaner of the pair. He has everything organized and placed just so, and while Velahari likes the organization as well, she doesn’t always have the time or attention span to do so.

3. Who fixes the vehicle after a breakdown?

Typically, the vehicle is taken to a mechanic if Abelas is unavailable, though Velahari knows more of fixing cars than Solas. She can check oil, change an air filter, but anything much more technical, and she flounders.

5. Who buys the groceries?

Velahari has learned her lesson of letting Solas go shopping alone. He tends towards the healthy, which is good of course, but it also tends to wind up rather…bland. Velahari generally buys the groceries, though lately, they’ve been going together.

6. Going out to eat: who pays? Who eats the most food? Who eats dessert?

Solas insists on paying, and Velahari really doesn’t mind all that much. Solas eats more, definitely, and given his proclivity for sweets, always orders desserts as well - especially those from restaurants of Orlesian cuisine.

7. Would they go to the beach?

While both like the outdoors, the beach wouldn’t be their first choice in a vacation destination. If invited by friends, they would likely go, but if left to their own devices, they would likely end up in the woods or mountains.

8. Who knows how to swim? Who doesn’t?

Hehe. Solas cannot swim, though Velahari is more than happy to teach him how <3

wake-up-wake-up replied to your post:I keep thinking about Dishonored and the heart,...

Somehow I never realized that the heart was Jessamine’s heart and now I’m reeling in feels.

OH GOSH WELL

I think I was about halfway through my first playthrough when I went and looked up the voice actor for the heart because she sounded familiar and I was like WAIT A MOMENT because it was Jessamine’s VA, and then I got teary and went to look for confirmation and saw that, yep, the Arkane guys had confirmed it, and it suddenly explained so many of the odder, almost personal comments that the heart would say, and basically when I think about the heart I get a lot of feels.

Character questions for Fena'dea and Velahari, ♥️♠️♥️♣️☁️☺️ and ❄️?

:3 Let’s go Fena’dea first!

♥ - What does ‘love’ mean to her?

It’s an incredibly complicated concept Fena’dea doesn’t really dwell on very much. Before Abelas, she took her pleasures where she could find them without attaching herself, but after him…well, it took a while for them to admit any sort of feelings for the other - their relationship was more centered on the vir’abelasan and a physical aspect at first. 

Now that she has a better handle on the feeling, she couldn’t adequately ascribe words to the meaning. It’s warm and soft, but still somehow tough and sturdy, and she sees it whenever she looks into his eyes.

♠ - What is she afraid of?

Failure. She tries so hard to keep everyone she loves safe by trying to take all the risks herself, and Fena’dea is genuinely afraid of being unable to do so anymore and having to live with the knowledge that she failed someone and could have stopped their death.

♦ - What is one thing about them that they are most proud of?

That she’s managed to actually keep Velahari safe after all the shit that’s happened in Inquisition. At first, it was just an instinct to go with her to the Conclave, but it became more than that after Velahari became the Herald. 

♣ - What is one thing that she finds embarrassing? 

Sappy, over-the-top displays of affection. She has no qualms with PDA when she’s the one doing so, but if, say, Abelas suddenly swept into the hall with a bouquet of flowers and spouting poetry in her honor, she would positively die.

☁ - If shes’s caught out in the rain how does she react?

Fena’dea does not quite have the love of rain and storms Velahari does. She’ll tolerate the rain if she’s in the middle of hunting or training or traveling, but otherwise, she’ll head for shelter and wait until it lets up.

☺ - Does she prefer sour or sweet treats?

Fena’dea has an incredible sweet tooth :3

❄ -  Favorite season and why?

Summer, most definitely! Fena’dea likes the heat, the humidity, the freedom of being able to hunt or move around in the forest without fear of getting lost and freezing to death.

♥ - What does ‘love’ mean to her?

Love is respect, and admiration, and protection, and the desire for intimacy. It’s gentle and fragile, but also frenzied and tough. It’s the reason to keep going even when it doesn’t seem like anything’s going well; it ties her together with others, and without it she would be lost.

♠ - What is she afraid of?

Velahari is afraid of loss. Her mother died when she was young, and her father, from what she recalls, seemed to lose a piece of himself after her mother’s death. Even then, he grew distant and eventually died scarcely a year later. 

She can be overprotective of those she considers friends and family, and can be too forgiving if someone does wrong by her - she has a terrible habit of accepting apologies when someone doesn’t deserve her forgiveness. That said, she’s also incredibly accepting (part of the reason why she welcomed Blackwall back to the Inquisition after discovering his secret).

It’s also partially why losing Solas hit her so very hard.

♦ - What is one thing about them that they are most proud of?

I’d say she’s most proud of the good work she’s done as Inquisitor. She’s able to not only help the populace by closing rifts and stopping Corypheus, but she’s able to have a stake in the future of mages across Thedas who deserve at least a chance for freedom.

♣ - What is one thing that she finds embarrassing?

Velahari can’t really take any sort of teasing - her face reddens, and she tries to change the subject abruptly when it crossed into territory concerning her and sensitive information. This fully includes her romantic relationship with Solas, though it’s more than simply teasing there - she does not enjoy when people catch them kissing (let alone anything more romantic and less platonic). She’s had to explain to Solas that it isn’t him and their association that’s embarrassing, but rather her own insecurities and the knowledge that others can catch them unawares.

☁ - If shes’s caught out in the rain how does she react?

She tends to pause if she’s in the middle of something, her eyes will close, and for a few moments, she’ll just stand there, enjoying the feel of the rain.

☺ - Does she prefer sour or sweet treats?

She prefers sour by far. She’ll eat sweets on occasion, but usually they’re too rich for her palate.

❄ -  Favorite season and why?

Spring. She enjoys watching the new growth formations on the trees, the blossoming flowers, and the storms. More than that, it’s when she’s not so confined to the camp and the ara’vel, and while she isn’t as far-roaming as Fena’dea she does like her space, and the ability to wander when the whim comes to her.

wake-up-wake-up replied to your post:Trades & Commissions

I’m interested in commissions!

Oh gosh :333 You’re too sweet to me!! Thank you for the feedback, though - I really, really appreciate it! I wish I could reach through the computer and give you a big hug, seriously! (But only if you’re okay with the contact ;D)

And for Fena'dea, ☾, ■, ♦, and ♒

☾ - sleep headcanon: To be honest, Fena’dea probably doesn’t get as much sleep as she should. When she was younger and had fewer responsibilities, she was teased about sleeping so often, but now the voices of the Well of Sorrows keep her up - or she’s worried for Velahari, or Abelas, or herself, of the future of the elves.

■ -  Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon: Fena’dea’s quarters are simultaneously orderly and messy. She could tell you where to find what you’re looking for, but you’d spend all day picking through her crap to find it.

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon: While Fena’dea doesn’t really like to use a bow, she’s skilled with its use. She’s actually one of the better archers in her clan - though only Velahari really knows that.

♒ - cooking/food headcanon: Fena’dea was never formally taught how to cook, but she enjoys what little she does know. She’s sneaked down into Skyhold’s kitchens to learn from the cooks, though hardly anyone knows that.

Headcanons for Velahari, ☾, ■, ♦, and ♒

☾ - sleep headcanon: Velahari dreams quite a lot, more than most people, and she can usually remember all the details. That dreaming has only intensified since the Inquisition’s formation.

■ - Bedroom/house/living quarters headcanon: Velahari likes to have things neat and orderly, or at least where she knows where to find everything. As Inquisitor, she rarely has time to do so, however. That said, she doesn’t have many personal items to keep anyway.

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon: Velahari has a sort of tic where she needs to be doing something with her hands at all times. If she’s not casting spells or manipulating her staff, she’s wringing her hands, or picking at her nails, or picking up objects, or holding something - this especially goes for when she interacts with people. She clasps a shoulder reassuringly, offers hugs where warranted and wanted, playfully hits a shoulder or nudges someone forward. Romantically, she can’t really help reaching for Solas’s hand, entwining their fingertips, or moving her hands when they kiss or are otherwise engaged in less-than-platonic activities ;3

♒ - cooking/food headcanon: Velahari doesn’t care too much for sweet things - she prefers spicy or salty. Sadly, life in her clan hasn’t afforded her much of either, but now that she has access to those foods, she oftentimes feels guilty for indulging since there are so many refugees who are likely going without while the Inquisition is stocked with plenty.
