reasons leliana is the real mvp of dragon age
badass bisexual archer, next
she’s so incredibly compassionate, and her compassion doesn’t just extend to those she deems “worthy” of it but to everyone
“The Chantry dictated where it should have inspired. It spoke of judgement instead of acceptance. It should encourage the good in everyone, rather than rebuke us for our sins. No one should be turned away from our doors. No one is without worth. Whoever you are, whatever your mistakes, you are loved. Unconditionally. ‘In your heart shall burn an unquenchable flame.’”
she isn’t a mage yet she’s one of the most outspoken advocates for unconditional mage freedom in the entire series, and if you make her divine she puts her money where her mouth is. if inq conscripts the mages in dai she chews them the FUCK OUT and they had it coming
acknowledges the terrible things the chantry has done and continues to do, and wants to reform it into a force for good (and does if she’s divine)
LEARNS AND GROWS AND IS WILLING TO LISTEN WHEN CALLED OUT. if an elf warden calls her out for her racism, she is defensive at first, but then horrified and apologetic, and promises to do better, and she does. in dai, even if the warden wasn’t an elf, she’s clearly grown and learned since dao and is making an effort to be a better person!!!
knows how to PARTY DOWN. i don’t know how someone’s smallclothes ended up pinned to a chantry board but i want to find out
super smart!!!! like really really smart!!!! there’s a reasons her war table solutions are often the best ones!!!!! at the winter palace she’s out here gushing over shoes while also doing sherlock holmes-esque deductions about what those shoes can tell her about their owner!!!! plus she knows loads of fascinating history and stories!!!!
just super sweet and friendly?? like even in dai when she’s going through her emo phase she’s very kind and caring?? i love her??
her romance is so sweet ;a;
she’s been through horrible shit and it would have been so easy to let her experiences make her cruel but she stays good because she doesn’t want to be like the people that hurt her
“you have as much time as i have arrows.” and then when she runs out she beats a demon to death with her bow
speaks at least common, orlesian and a little qunlat
corinne kempa does a GREAT job voicing leliana and she really improved over the course of the series
once took a ride on the sails of a windmill. it didn’t end well.
