What's all this noise about dads?

Aquila Racina, apprentice and adopted daughter to Magister Pavus

More about Dorian's darling daughter Aquila? I love her already

Very happy that you like her!! It was hm. a bit of a rushed development cause I wanted my dad joke to be relevant.. so her story is still not the clearest.

What I know for now is that she's around 16 years old in 9:52 (I assume that's when da:d will be set), a very capable mage from a lesser known family - maybe even Laetan- and that through hard work and a big push from her family, she made it in the top classes of the Minrathous Circle.

She joins the Lucerni early on, and as her family suffers more losses due to the qunari attacks in the east, she buries herself even deeper in her work.

Dorian and Maevaris notice her struggle to make a name for herself and encourage her to take a breath, showing her better ways to prove her worth.

Eventually Dorian volunteers to be her tutor going forward in her academic career (not without gossip but we know how to handle that)

The Racina family is still alive and happy that she has been given this opportunity

She now lives in the Estate with Dorian and Eelis, who basically treat her as their little girl.

One day Dorian gets a copy of the Pavus birthright made and presents it to her, she keeps her surname and goes back home often, but she's also super happy of her two new dads ❤❤
