spins the cake stand ariel sits on. she would have made a great companion. i already know what her companion quest would've been.
#this is an au where they actually depict slavery in tevinter and the shadow dragons Do Anything btw#but she lies to you about busting a slave auction on shadow dragons business -- in reality she thinks shes finally tracked down#one of her sisters. it isnt a shadow sanctioned job and tbh she was going to go in by herself#but shes happy to have backup in You. except she misjudges the timing and they get in when the auction is half-over and her sister#has already been sold. so she recalculates. this is the point where you realize this was NOT well planned.#and shes like well lets go kill the guy who bought her. you can encourage her to Maybe Not Knives First. or to Yes Knives First.#this will impact her later but either way she doesnt kill him. BECAUSE HE RECOGNIZES HER ITS HER BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#he has the same plan as she does but hes elf-blooded human-passing. not an altus mage but hes high-ranking and respected.#and hes buying and legally freeing any of his sisters he can find#i have a scene in mind later where orlando is begging her to please come see their mother#who ariel has painted as just an unfeeling evil woman in her head. when she was really just. poor and desperate. she gambled and lost.#she has tortured herself for twenty years about what she did. and how ariel deals with it depends on whether#youve pushed her toward mercy or toward revenge 🫶#SIGH. poor emmrich being the substitute protagonist for the purpose of doing ariel's personal quests#carly.txt#carly's ocs#oc: ariel
