β CHARACTER BIO: ππππππ πππππππ.
age: born in 9:12. - dao: 18 - dai: 29 - datv: 41
place of birth: hightown, kirkwall, free marches.
nationality: free marcher by circumstances of her birth but orlesian by blood and title.
religious beliefs: andrastian on paper, but agnostic at best.
sexuality: biromantic, bisexual.
pronouns/gender: she/her, cisfem.
parents: alexandre and renee adigery; the lord and lady of minor hereditary holdings in the northern part of orlais, though the responsibility had not been passed down from alexandre's parents at the time of their move to kirkwall. renee, being a native of the free marches, and much to the chagrin of her in-laws (who are already wary of their eldest son's choice in spouse), insisted that they return to her place of birth for a short time upon their marriage to give alexandre "some perspective." it is there that they stayed until edmund's death and elodie's entry into the circle.
siblings: the eldest adigery child is emelie, who takes her templar vows at 18 when elodie is only 3 years old. edmund is the middle child, three years older than elodie, who dies at the age of 11. this makes elodie the only remaining heir of her family's holdings, though it is forfeit upon her entry into the circle.
combat & abilities: mage specializing in entropy magic. minor healing abilities, though she struggles with it traditionally due to her affinity for, well, the opposite. prefers practical medicine (i.e. poultices, splints, tinctures, etc) over magical for this reason, as she tends to do more harm than good despite her well-intentions.
occupations, in order of fulfillment: junior enchanter, apprentice to first enchanter orsino of the circle of kirkwall, apostate, grey warden, and finally, warden-inquisitor.
eyes: slight heterochromia; right eye a blue-green, the color of sea foam, while the left is a vibrant chartreuse. some brown around both pupils. hooded, slightly downturned at the outer corners. framed with thick but uneven lashes. set into deep, sleepless, bruise-like circles. brows are dark, arched subtly.
hair: quite dark with an uneven wave throughout the length of it; in the light, a dull, ashy brown. she does not try hard enough to take care of it, as it is often tangled and unkempt, and she does not bother tying it up or keeping it safe from the elements.
height/body type: 5'8 (172 cms); thin and gangly following her escape from the gallows in 9:32, but eventually she recovers, filling out with her necessary strength and health upon her introduction into the free marcher grey wardens.
face claim: aimee lou wood.
voice claim: aimee lou wood.
( + ) resilient, gracious, compassionate, analytical, a quick study.
( - ) rigid, stubborn, sharp-tongued, resentful, impulsive, detached.
mbti type: INTP - the logician.
born in 9:12 in hightown.
in 9:15, emelie takes her vows, officially a knight in the templar order.
in 9:18, elodie's connection with the fade begins to manifest in her day to day life. wracked with nightmares and terrified of the things she sees in her dreams, elodie becomes sleep-avoidant and develops chronic sleep insomnia. her parents suspect she may be a mage, but renee and alexandre, disillusioned by the chantry and sympathetic to the oppression mages face in kirkwall, agree to keep it hush-hush until it's confirmed or their daughter becomes a danger to herself and the family.
in 9:19, after a year of recurring night terrors and sleepless nights, alexandre begins making preparations to move his wife and two young children back to orlais, to their familial estate; in this, he hopes, that a change of scenery and closer kinship with the rest of her family might do his youngest some good.
elodie's nightmares end abruptly. the child sleeps through the night (at her own body's behest), but rising tension is noted between elodie and edmund. though she is sleeping somewhat soundly upon her parents' investigation, edmund is routinely hounding her sleep when she manages it, and teases her endlesly to the point of cruelty over her nightmares.
9:20 - the adigery family is awoken in the night to screaming, routine at first. but it isn't elodie; it's edmund. five hours later, before the sun rises on kirkwall, his heart gives out.
elodie, three days after her brother's wake and two after emelie's return to her station within the gallows, she admits to her mother that she had inflicted edmund with the nightmare in a impulsive need for someone to understand what she went through on a nightly basis, what kept her so scared of sleeping. he teased her relentlessly, hounded her sleep when she was finally able to rest soundly, and terrorized her to no end. when renee asks her if she'd meant to hurt him, she is honest when she says no.
9:20 β elodie is escorted from her home in hightown by a coterie of templars. reports of bystanders remark upon the fact that her parents do not weep in the streets when elodie cries out for her mother. emelie adigery is abruptly reassigned to the circle in cumberland.
9:20 - 9:32 β elodie resides within the circle of kirkwall, also known as the gallows. a knack for entropy magic surfaces; due to its nature, she is kept on a tight leash. after her harrowing, most of her time is spent as an assistant to senior enchanters; this time becomes more and more scarce as more and more restrictions are placed on the mages in kirkwall, though the first enchanter sees potential in her and adopts her as his apprentice.
9:31 β a rumor surfaces that a harrowed mage provides services in secret to templars experiencing adverse side effects from overuse of lyrium. through her work in this, elodie exacts favors and leniency from the templars she treats while on duty. additionally, she learns of the tunnels under the gallows that empty into kirkwall.
9:32 β a templar, routine in his use of her services and once-close friend of elodie's older sister, agrees to help her escape.
9:32 β newfound in her freedom and terrified of recapture, elodie begs the first warden she sees to conscript her, even with the chance of a fatal joining. despite her chronic exhaustion and general malaise, she pulls through the joining out of sheer will and spite. elodie adigery is now a warden in the order of the grey.
9:41 β following the destruction of the chantry in kirkwall, elodie's warden-commander is approached by divine justinia via a trusted envoy, who had been directed to their division requesting the presence of a warden as means of mediation between the mages and templars at the conclave held in haven. elodie, though she has no interest in politicking but every interest in the freedom of mages, begrudgingly accepts the responsibility and makes the journey from the free marches to haven. her arrival marks the explosion at the temple of sacred ashes, and thus begins the events culminating in the reinstatement of the inquisition in the divine's name, and the unraveling of the world as they know it.
