I have this mental image of Merrill teaching my Hawke Dalish lore and magic because she’s got a (probablly Dalish but they really don’t know for sure bc of how young Malcom was when he was taken away) Elven granddaddy and she’s DESPERATE to learn more about his culture! Anything! Everything!
#My cannon Hawke's grandparents on Malcom's side were a Mage with feeble enough magic she managed to stay under Templar radar#and a Dalish elf who inexplicably fell in love with a Shem and left his clan to live in her villiage with her#Merrill claiming she's bad with people but she gets to sit on a chair in her little hut in act 1 while Hawke and the twins DRINK UP#every OUNCE of knowledge she's willing to share! Well. Maybe not Carver as much bc of his whole 'move forward instead of looking back' thing#but he's got a big fat crush on Merrill so it balances out and he listens anyways#HC that she CAN do healing magic she just can't mechanically in game bc she's so insecure about it#Post- DA2 she gets to teach kids magic!!!! All around the Alienage at first but then word spreads and it's every kid in Kirkwall!#Merrill growing past her insecurities and the things Marethari told her about herself and growing into being an EXCELLENT voice of authority#in Kirkwall's Alienage!!! 😭❤#***Also she teaches my Hawke how to do blood magic safely because FUCK the way everyone talks to her about blood magic#but that's a secret because Hawke doesn't want anyone else knowing#& we're ignoring the 'half breed' comment that was an emotionally charged moment xoxox <3#dragon age#Merrill
