#Eloise Trevelyan

[nyf-archive]

@savingthrcw asked | hunger .   give  my  muse  something  to  eat  /  drink

The Trevelyan girl looked up to the Inquisitor and nodded to her in thanks as she took the hot cup of tea. It was warm in her cold hands. It had been some time since she had anything since climbing the mountain peaks to get here to Skyhold.

"Might kind of you, lady...I appreciate you sparing your extra resources on those like me." She was an apostate now. Her circle was gone, the templars having tried to murder her and having done so her fiance. It was hard. The road was long and her horse was tired. All her resources had gone to make sure her steed made it here.

She had been battered on her way here. Her bruises and wounds mainly patched up by that of the healers in the triage area, and a larger wound healed by a stranger in the wilds. It was chaos out in the world...the girl had only ever known her home and the circle. So...she was very much so out of her element here.

The Muses: Eloise Trevelyan

Though initially quite devastated when her proud family all but disowned her after she displayed a 'disgusting and shameful' penchant for magical skill at a usually late age, Eloise was not terribly broken up about relinquishing her role as the next Lady of house Trevelyan. She flourished, doing well for herself in the Circle, until tensions from the Rebellion came to a head when one of her fellows murdered First Enchanter Lydia, sparking the Templars to call for the right of Annulment. Eloise barely escaping with her life and carrying within her a fiercely guarded secret.

New blog, same author & muses

Follow the links to find the new home for our may heroes/muses here!

for the meta meme: how do they feel about the subject of education? does he/she like books, reading, learning? why (not)? how does this influence their role as for example Inquisitor? (if at all)

Marina Amell: While incredibly grateful for everything the Circle taught her, Marina would be the first to say the more practical application of her magic in her time with the Wardens lead to a great deal more growth and knowledge than she might have had otherwise. She slogged through necessary endless books and essays, but always preferred the more hands-on lessons. Though she deeply respects and loves Irving, she finds a kind of kindred spirit with Wynne in their wanderlust and restlessness. She is a quick learning, but has always learned best by doing.

Cadence Tabris: Growing up in the Denerim Alienage, Cadence was never really afforded an opportunity for any sort of formal or extensive education. They are able to read and write with a common vocabulary, and well versed in the history of the elves of their Alienage. The geography of Fereldan, or indeed Thedas at large, is largely foreign to them. They are… selective about what they choose to pay attention to and retain as some opportunities to expand their knowledge present themselves, recognizing that some information might be used to their advantage, but largely disinterested in the history of humans and their pettiness and barbarism. Their diplomacy is perhaps a little less polished as a result, though this might equally be attributed to the impatience simmering just beneath the surface. Regardless, the Warden Commander seems to get the job done.

Eloise Trevelan: While too empathetic a soul to derive any pleasure from playing The Game, Eloise might actually be quite good at it if she cared to play, having extensive knowledge of Thedas and it’s nobility’s history. Eloise often has a near-perfect recall with the things she’s read, though, only for subjects which she herself finds interesting. She speaks a passable/conversational amount of three secondary languages and was a credit to the Ostwick Circle before it’s downfall. After taking up the mantle of “Herald of Andraste”, however, Eloise often finds herself frustrated with the disparity between her book and practical knowledge, both the Circle and prior noble upbringing leaving her ill-prepared for some of the day to day realities and necessary skills of her new position (camping, cooking, etc).

Garrett Hawke: Though his jovial, mischevious nature is often mistaken as an incapacity to ever be serious, Garrett was actually very much aware of his good fortune as well as the strain educating and hiding he and Bethany’s gifts put on the rest of his family. He may not always have enjoyed his lessons, but he always applied himself and remembered everything Malcolm taught or said to him, even if some of the lessons felt more tedious than others.

Sonja Hawke: Sonja is largely indifferent towards the homeschooling her mother provided her with. Leandra did her best, of course, but was never much of a scholar herself, and could never seem to decide whether or not to instruct her daughter in the ways and etiquette of the noble life she left behind when she eloped, or to accept their new lot in life. She finds a good deal of joy in music and learning new songs, however.

Orana: Never formally educated, Orana often uses the assumptions others might make of her past to her advantage. While it is only recently she’s learned how to read, the elf has an ear for languages that coupled with her innate ability as a former servant and slave helps her uncover all manner of information she can sell or use to her advantage. She loves stories and poetry but is still better versed and generally more likely to consume them orally than sit down with a book, and prefers the stories about individuals- people she can put a face to- over general history.

Eshalineva Lavellan: While a force to be reckoned with in a fight, Neva is reluctant to give credit to anyone, but herself, carrying a deep-seated bitterness and hurt after being passed over as the clan’s First. She would argue any skills she’s developed since have been out of spite, and while well-versed in a good deal of Dalish history, has yet to find much practical application for it. She knows the King’s Tongue, but will often defer to Elvhen when and wherever possible simply to annoy or separate herself from those around her. Prickly with just about everyone, her education doesn’t have much impact one way or the other on her ability or decisions as the leader of the Inquisition.

June Lavellan: Displaying from an early age a tendency to be overwhelmed by too much bustle, people, or noise, June loves to learn and would choose a library or new book over most people. Actively seeking out new knowledge wherever he can and largely self-taught, June has mastered speaking, reading, and writing in several languages. Truth be told, June would be far more comfortable perhaps even better suited had fate seen fit to put him in an advisory sort of role within the Inquisition. He is most at ease left to his own devices, and when not with a book can be found in the stables tending to his steeds, or entertaining the children in the garden with stories. That said, his knowledge of history, politics, and languages are extensive enough to generally make up for weaker social skills. He gets on very well (in small doses at a time) with similarly educated or academic minds like Solas, Dorian, Josephine, Leliana, or Vivienne.

Thank you for the tag! I did my two swordfighting girlies

Eloise/Sugar is in both my FNV and VTM universes now, but in both of them her sword was a decorative family heirloom before she took it down and struck out on her own. She's probably the first one who's ever actually used it.

Natalia Trevelyan's sword gets the job done and that's all she needs.

Tagged by @pinayelf to use these picrews to make my oc and their sword!

Decided to go with Ha-Neul since I've been feeling him lately and he's my only notable sword-wielding oc atm. I tried my best to make his actual sword with the picrew, but it was a struggle (he uses a black and bronze hwando with the symbol of Lolth and a spiderweb design decorating the hilt.)

Eloise Trevelyan

New OC? New OC! Everyone needs a deadpan Reaver who think’s she’s very funny but whose sense of humor absolutely no one gets. 

[sasshole-for-rent]

In A New Light

I switched it around, if you don’t mind. @4vrafangirl “OC showing LI magic” for @dadrunkwriting

Summary: Eloise has been studying and grinding herbs in Cullen’s tower. He discovers her there. 

Eloise’s day consisted of woven wool and dog-eared pages. She had spent the day huddled up in Cullen’s tower. It was so peaceful here. Being far away from the hub of noise and the swarm of bodies like bees in a hive that was Skyhold. She had found the quieter places. Some Cole had pointed out. The hurt is quieter here. The spirit had whispered to her. You can stay here if it gets too loud.

“How many times have I asked you not to do that in here?” Cullen asked as he opened the door and spotted her perched on his desk like a finch. She cocked her head to the side like one too. A veil of her dark hair fell seamlessly over her shoulder. The image of her slender neck was…alluring. He shaked his head.

Eloise Trevelyan looked up from the cinnamon bark half crushed in her mortar. The pestle clinking against the marble as it never ceased grinding. She used her magic to grip the pestle, and watched as Cullen’s jaw set. 

“Hello, Commander.” greeted Eloise in a cheery tone.

“Lady Trevelyan.” greeted Cullen in a not-so cheery tone. “Perhaps you didn’t hear me—”

“How many times have you asked me not to do that in here? The answer is only once.” A laugh bubbled out of her like sea foam softly forming in the shallows. “Are you afraid of herbs and spices, Commander? I’m merely helping the cooks with this tedious chore, it’s the least I can do.” 

“No, but you’re using magic to do so.” 

“Yes. Does that bother you? It helps speed up the process.” Her eyes flitted to the corked bottles of cloves, nutmeg, and allspice berries. 

“You know very well how I feel about magic.” Cullen grumbled. 

“I know.” She admitted softly, the note of sadness in her voice made his heart clench. “But, I’m trying to show you it can be good as well. It can help as well as hinder. You just have to trust it. If you can’t trust, how can you trust me? I see the way you hold yourself back. You’re a-afraid of me.” Her voice ripped at the seams. “I have many reasons to be afraid of templars, but I’m not. I’m not afraid of you, because I know you would never hurt me. Don’t I deserve the same trust?”

“I’m not afraid of you. I’m afraid of magic.” 

“Magic and myself are inseparable. There is not just me. Magic will always be there.” She hung her head, unable to look at him. A shuddering breath was a wisp from her lungs. “I guess I am asking for too much.”

She heard his footsteps first. Then, his fingertips brushed under her chin. She looked up into his face.

“Show me.”

“What?“

“Show me…your magic. I don’t want to be afraid of it anymore. Show me that I’m wrong.”

Eloise sniffed and caught a tear with her knuckle. “All right.”

She placed her hands in his, willing her aura to brighten to encompass him as well. It vibrated against their skin. “Do you feel that?”

It was a little while before he spoke. His breath hesitant. “…I do.” He deemed it safe to breath. “What is that? A spell?”

Eloise shook her head. “No,” Curls licking at his cheek. They were so close. Her heart beat slammed against her ribcage at a breakneck pace. A smile was testing the lush of her lips. The corners of those lips quivered into a sliver of the moon. “It is our auras bending together. Do you see it? Its beautiful. We’re beautiful.”

She tapped two fingers over his heart, and she felt his gasp warm her wet cheeks. “I-I see it…” His chuckle emerged from his parted lips, awe hugged the tone. “I see it!”

“Are you afraid?” asked the mage.

“No. I feel safe.” answered the templar.

bio: the trevelyans, despite originating from antiva, are one of the most prominent noble families of ostwick. because of their strong ties to the chantry, the family does not hesitate to send their children to the circle when they discover the gift of magic. luca felt betrayed when he was sent away at just 12 years old and left on bad terms with his mother, who he was extremely close with. growing up with his father's strong disdain for magic and fearmongering from the templars caused luca to develop a fear of his own magical abilities. luca's mother passes away from illness before luca has a chance to reconcile, intensifying the guilt, fear, and nightmares he already suffered with. before he was even considered to do his harrowing, he begs the templars to make him tranquil so he won't be a threat to anybody, and won't have to further deal with his pain. when kirkwall's circle rebelled, ostwick quickly followed suit, and luca was forced to join the rebels for his own survival. he eventually joins the senior enchanters at the divine conclave as an unbiased voice. when the anchor is accidentally fused with luca's hand, his severed connection with the fade was restored, curing him of his tranquility. after being tranquil for a decade, luca must relearn how to live, how to feel, and how to be a leader, as he's thrust into reverence as the only hope to save thedas.

bio: all callie has known is the stage. for as long as she could remember, she has been performing at the witchlight carnival, hoping that one day she can be on the biggest stage in all the realms. she had been so deeply involved in her dream, it never occurred to her that she doesn't quite remember anything that came before. after being tasked to save zybilna, the founder of the witchlight carnival who had gone missing in her realm in the faewilds, callie comes to the realization that she does not remember her family. she had no memories of who she was and anything that occurred before she arrived at the carnival. she discovers, after speaking to a powerful spirit, that her parents had made a deal with endlyn moongrave, one of the hags that overthrew zybilna, so they could conceive a child. when her parents backed out of the deal after calliope was born, all three of them were cursed by the hag. calliope - who was born of pure, now-cursed fae magic, lost all her memories of her family and her identity. her parents were transformed into hideous monsters that still roam the faewilds to this day. callie must now find a way to break this curse without erasing her very being, rescue the parents she never knew, as well as save the realm from the hags that have taken it over.

bio: growing up, lilith had always had an immense and dangerous fascination with magic, and desperately wanted to learn it for herself. but there is not much a lowly street urchin can do when your main focus is surviving the day in a dirty, corrupt city. despite the hardships, lilith will always try to steal magical trinkets and tomes to try to teach herself magic. perhaps if she was strong enough, she would be able to make enough money for her and her mother to have a real home. however, lilith was caught stealing from a powerful noble, and - in a desperate attempt to save her daughter - lilith's mother takes the blame, resulting in her being cut down before lilith's very eyes. months pass and lilith is suddenly approached by a ghostly voice, claiming to be the spirit of her deceased mother. her mother's spirit says that she returned to watch over her daughter, and will be willing to teach her magic if lilith does what she is told. lilith accepts immediately, and is ecstatic that she is getting to two things she wants the most - her mother, and magic. unbeknownst to lilith, however, this apparition is not her mother. it is instead a fiend, taking advantage of a grieving orphan with a strong desire for magic, in order to manipulate her into doing its bidding. the fiend's goal is to feed lilith so much power that she eventually goes berserk, wreaking as much havoc as possible before she inevitably loses herself to the very magic she longed for.

From this Archetype quiz 

~Eloise Trevelyan~ The Creator

“Obviously, Creators have creativity and imagination in spades. They find inspiration in the most unlikely of places, and their inherent ability to find expression–be it through music, art, design, invention, poetry, literature, or photography–helps them think outside the box, using metaphors and abstracts to create something of lasting value. Creators most like to see new ideas take shape, and the icing on top when these ideas are non-conformist. The love unique, unusual, clever, and visionary creations. They find joy in demonstrating their innovation, individuality, and freedom from societal constraints and convention. They get excited being able to express themselves, which includes finding and accepting themselves in relation to the external world.  On the negative side of things, Artistic types are often perfectionists and/or prima donnas. They might lose sight of the forest for focusing too much on the trees. As a result, they might come up with bad solutions that show an irresponsible side to themselves. They can also be outsiders, separated from average joes by their incredible talents.” (X)

Eloise Trevelyan (background Cullen x Trevelyan), for @dadrunkwriting & @uchidachi

“Say, Princess,” Varric calls as Eloise is making her way back into the hall and passed his usual haunt. It had rankled her at first, the nickname. Afterall she never asked to be born into the Trevelyan family, and it’s been a long time since she saw any benefit from it. The money, the power, the influence, had never appealed to her. To Eloise, it had always felt more like a pair of fancy shoes, pretty, but uncomfortable, blistering. Varric, though, is a good enough friend now to know as much, so the nickname is only in good fun. He’d offered to try and come up with another, made a few playful and absolutely terrible suggestions, but since she couldn’t come up with anything better herself, Princess persisted.

“Yes, Varric?”

“I’ve been doing some thinking,” the dwarf hedges cautiously, eyes darting briefly around the hall to check who else is present, what other ears might be listening. “Look, don’t take this the wrong way, I know you’re a mage yourself, and Solas is- well, he’s damn useful to have around, but I was thinking, maybe, it wouldn’t hurt to bring on a consultant?”

“A consultant,” Eloise repeats curiously.

“Yeah,” Varric nods. “As I said, I know you’re a mage and we’ve got a few others besides. And I’m sure there’s no shortage of people that want to offer the Inquisitor advice about- Andraste’s Tits, well, everything, but- Do any of them know about... your situation?”

“No,” Eloise shakes her head, a brief glance towards Vivienne’s balcony. The Knight-Enchanter has been a great ally in their fight to seal the Breach, but hardly a confidant. Given the way she’s reacted to Cole, Eloise hasn’t the first idea how or when she might go about telling her that she herself is an abomination in a way that might go over well, just as well that Leliana and Josephine had advised to keep it quiet for as long as they possibly can. “I haven’t told them yet.”

“Well,” the dwarf continues. “You know I’m happy to listen, but I just thought, well, maybe you could use someone to talk to that might understand it all a bit better, somebody that wouldn’t judge you for it.”

“And you know somebody like that?”

“I do,” Varric nods, smiling softly. “So, what do you think?”

“I think I can think of at least two other people who would benefit from Merrill joining us here as well,” Eloise smiles. “That is who you had in mind, isn’t it?”

“I’m not trying to pull a fast one on you,” Varric assures her immediately, his argument with Cassandra and the Seeker’s accusations about where his loyalties might lie, clearly still fresh in his mind. “I really do think Daisy could help, would make a good ear at least.”

“Relax, Varric,” Eloise soothes. “Send her an invitation. We’d love to have her.”

…

Eloise makes her way down the steps to the courtyard below as the gates open to admit the Inquisition’s newest Arcane Advisor, but the Champion of Kirkwall is quicker, skipping the stairs entirely in favor of jumping from the nearby balcony and tucking neatly into a roll at the last second. The rogue charges the party, the sea parting for her, and has the smaller elf hoisted up into her arms in what looks like a bruisingly tight and grateful hug, and Eloise’s heart stutters as her eyes suddenly flick up to the familiar tower just above the gates.

She’s entertained fantasies of being greeted with that kind of enthusiasm, that sort of enthusiasm and passion. Such stories of chivalry, of knights and romance, had always appealed, even more so now she seems thrust in the middle of one, harrowing as it sometimes is. But she shouldn’t have. Foolhardy enough, the idea of a mage, and former Templar, the Inquisitor and the Commander of the Inquisition’s forces. But Eloise is more than a simple mage. Or less, depending on who you asked.

She’d dared to hope somehow if she could only find the right words, the right way to tell him, maybe Cullen would be different. But it’s been almost two days since he found out, since the last time they spoke to each other. And in that time, those moments and intimacies they previously shared with each other have become more precious and more painful to recall. She’d been reckless, to let him in, to let herself go without him knowing the whole truth. It’s easy to see it in hindsight. But she’d never meant to deceive him, hadn’t wished to keep him in the dark forever. And he’d won her heart some time before they shared their first kiss. The idea there won’t be any more, that there’ll never be a greeting like this waiting for her on her return to the stronghold makes her chest ache.

Still, a friend, Eloise smiles, collecting herself once more to go and greet their guest now Hawke seems to have released her. Another friend to weather through all of this with sounds nice.

[nyf-archive]

Eloise looked to her hands. They were cold chapped and still red, despite how she had been holding the cup. Retelling the events that brought her here had been difficult. The sound that had left her lungs when she witnessed her best friend in the circle being cut down, an unsuspecting victim. They hadn't even made it past the front gates of the tower when she was ripped from Malcolm's arms. But he fought with all that he had, freed her from harm, only to be struck down in front of her. That was the first time she had ever thought to use techniques long deemed taboo. But her heart was stolen from her chest that day. The only thing she had to remember him by was the ring on a chain around her neck.

Eloise was so lost in thought, that when the Inquisitor spoke, it startled her slightly. Blue eyes flickered up, finding her features as she began to explain what would happen should she stay. A soft breath leaves her lungs, thankful to hear that she wasn't going to be forced to do anything. It was comforting knowing all this information. Quietly, the girl found her small satchel from the ground and pulled out the small glass bottle that was filled with her essence within. Setting it delicately on the table between them, Eloise nodded her head in agreement. "This plan works, ma'am." Her voice is softer as she slides it over and then sits up a little more straight.

"As I've said...I'll go anywhere, do whatever it is you require. Should you want me in your forwards camps, that's where I will go. If it is here you wish of me to make potions and tend to the wounded, I can." She pulls the blanket a little tighter around her shoulders, nodding her head slightly in thanks once more. "Thank you, Inquisitor...I know it sounds cliche but...this is a gift you're giving me, and I thank you. Very much."

Despite her chaotic past, Ellana had found relatively easy to control herself and think before acting: perhaps due to the traumatic events of the conclave, perhaps because of how much responsibility had been put on her shoulders, but she truly felt like her emotions didn't have the same tremendous hold on her as before. Still, hearing Eloise describe those horrors put that to a test; Templars had been once again happy to slay innocent mages, and no matter how many they fought she didn't see an end in sight.

She had to be reasonable, to once again think, but every fiber of her being wanted to find those specific Templars and kill them, as well as to offer this survivor the comforts she deserved, since peace of mind was out of question. She had lost a fiance, what more was there to say? And Ellana knew she should take the phylactery and her offer to help because they certainly needed it, but she hadn't been chosen to lead so she could keep the status quo, her official duty was simply to close rifts.

"I opened my doors to you and I will not be sending you away, but unless Skyhold is under attack and we are all forced to fight, I will not be demanding your magic in return," she decided to say then, leaning back against her armchair, "If you wish to... fight with us, if you wish to come on our expeditions, we can really use the help, but if not... then I will not be asking you for anything except to make yourself useful here, preparing healing potions, for example. I'm not a Templar, I'm not an Enchanter... I'm not even human, so I have no interest in forcing mages to do my bidding to survive. I just need you to follow this place's rules, like try not to start a fight, don't steal... normal doable rules, I promise." Frankly, when mages came seeking aid after slaughters, all she wanted was to offer a bed and more tea. "I'll take your phylactery but I won't keep it. I will return it to you eventually. It's just a matter of not knowing you and having to be responsible for everyone else too. Does this plan work for you?"
