I spent my whole Sunday figuring out the Amell family tree for my personal canon. I know the image quality is shit, so if this post interests you at all, you can find a summary under the cut 😊👍

Bioware canon is a contradictory mess when it comes to figuring out a timeline for this clan. I use the Amell family Codex entry as a starting point, but it talks about Aristide Amell being considered for Viscount after Perrin Threnhold’s arrest, which took place in 9:21 Dragon. According to Gamlen and Leandra’s discussion in the game regarding their parents’ will, Aristide Amell (their father) died the same year the twins were born (9:11), which means he would have been dead for a decade when Threnhold was arrested.

Another thing that is established in the lore, is that infants aren’t born able to cast. According to the Wiki: “Magic is considered an innate ability but it's not apparent from birth. Magical talent typically surfaces around puberty, though the age of onset falls within a wide range.”

If Revka’s child manifesting magic “was the start of the family’s misfortune,” the kid would have had to be at least grade-school age by the time Leandra met Malcolm Hawke. I know the DAO protag is supposed to be “young” (my Surana and Aeducan are) but Amell is the same age as Anders, i.e. early thirties at the start of DAO.

My headcanon for Leandra and Malcolm’s courtship deviates somewhat from the account in Dragon Age: The World of Thedas Volume 2 and their corresponding wiki articles linked above, because:

There are conflicting accounts in the game and in the codex, here and here, regarding Malcolm’s activities leading up their elopement and;

In my personal canon, Malcolm is of Chasind origin and spent enough time with his tribe to learn the culture before being taken by templars during a raid. 

This has a massive impact on Hawke’s upbringing and views on magic and is (imo) just plain cooler than Bioware’s version  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aristide Amell: born 8:41 of the Blessed Age in the Thedas timeline, died in 9:11 Dragon at age 70 due to cholera. Leandra says it was a week after the Hawke twins were born. Incidentally, Leandra would have been 27 and Gamlen 23.

Bethann Amell, née Walker: born 8:58 Blessed, died a year after her husband in 9:12 Dragon at the age of 54. Gamlen says it was of a broken heart. My headcanon is that Aristide married late and took a young bride to secure an heir. Bethann would have been 26 when Leandra was born, and Aristide 43. Aristide’s younger brother, Fausten, married young on the other hand, and this is why there is such a huge age gap between the cousins on either side.

Fausten Amell: born in 8:43 Blessed, date of death is not known, but it happened at some point before Revka disappeared in 9:08 Dragon, which places him in his early to mid 60s. Fausten’s wife is never mentioned and it doesn’t really impact my canon, so  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damion Amell: born in 8:67 Blessed when his dad (Fausten) was 24. It’s not clear when exactly Damion went to jail for smuggling. Assuming it happened between 9:03 and 9:07 Dragon, he would have been in his mid-30s. Leandra and Gamlen would have been in their teens in the 8:90′s when all the family’s problems were starting to spiral.

Revka Amell: born in 8:71. She married Quentin Vass, a scholar from Starkhaven, 5 years her junior. According to rumour, Revka was pressured into the marriage due to her suitor’s wealth, even though the origins of his fortune were quite the mystery. Quentin, a commoner, was eager to take the Amell name, ostensibly due to the family’s aristocratic status. He claimed that “sacrificing” his own ancestry would ensure that children born of the union would inherit their mother’s title and standing. In truth, however, Quentin’s motives for a change of name were far more sinister. In 9:34, Quentin would be exposed as a dangerous apostate and serial killer, responsible for the murder of Revka’s cousin, Leandra, and several other affluent women over the course of many years.

Whether Revka ever knew that she’d wedded a Maleficar remains unknown, but gossip abounds. Whispers linger that the couple’s marriage was unhappy and contributed greatly to the deterioration of Revka’s mental state. According to official records, Revka “disappeared” in 9:08 when the couple’s fifth child, Aelswith, was only two years old. Revka herself would have been 37 and Quentin 32 at the time.

Those few who remained close to Revka in spite of her many misfortunes, insist that she was nothing if not a devoted mother. The accepted conclusion, namely that she’d abandoned her three children not yet identified as magi and taken into the Circle’s custody, is unthinkable to these sources and they are convinced that Quentin had a hand in her vanishing.

Quentin Amell, né Vass: born in 8:76 and killed by Hawke in 9:34, aged 58.

Osmond Amell: Revka and Quentin’s first born child and only son was born in 8:93. He was discovered to be a mage at the age of 10 and taken to the Kirkwall Circle in 9:03, commencing a cascade of scandals that would rock the foundations of House Amell’s status and legacy. In the normal course, mages are not housed in the same city where their family resides. This policy is enforced to dissuade escape attempts, however, due to the Amells’ standing, an exception was made for Oswald. It is rumoured that his mother maintained correspondence with him until shortly before her disappearance, and even visited him in secret.

Assuming Osmond remained in the Kirkwall Circle, he would be 44 in 9:37 when Knight-Captain Meredith Stannard calls for the Right of Annulment.

Eadlin Amell: Revka and Quentin’s second child and first daughter, born in 8:95. Her magic was discovered in 9:07, four years after her brother was taken. She was 12 years old when the templars came for her. She was initially housed in the Kirkwall Circle along with her sibling, but accusations of nepotism, combined with the Amells’ declining influence, resulted in her being relocated to a Circle in Orlais. There’s every chance she’s acquainted with Vivienne de Fer as they are of the same generation and share a disposition of sophisticated grit.

Aleria Amell: born in the freezing cold on the 13th day of Wintermarch in 8:99, Revka and Quentin’s third child has always been a survivor.

She was only 4 years old in 9:03 Dragon when Osmond was taken – barely out of infancy, but old enough to witness and recall the fallout of her brother’s departure, her baby sister, Therese’s frighteningly early arrival and her mother’s lengthy recovery. In 9:07 Dragon, at the age of 8, the loss of her older sister, Eadlin, with whom she’d grown close, was quite traumatising. The household was still able to afford servants, albeit of the sort not repelled by a family afflicted with two magi offspring in succession. Aleria, ever dutiful and now the eldest, became the de facto caregiver to 4-year-old Therese and 2-year-old Aelswith, last of Revka and Quentin’s children, born in 9:05 Dragon, all the while watching as her mother’s sanity slipped away. 

In 9:08 Dragon, less than a full year after the loss of her older sister, 9-year-old Aleria’s mother vanished from her life as well.

Due to the quick succession of painful losses, Aleria’s childhood was marked by a terrible fear of magic. Even as a little girl, she devoted a great deal of time to religious contemplation and study, begging the Maker’s forgiveness for her family’s sins and praying that the “curse” which had claimed two of her siblings would spare the rest.

A few months after her mother’s disappearance – coinciding with the inquiry into the matter being turned over to the templars for investigation in place of the Guard – Quentin relocated to Starkhaven. Upon arrival in the city in the winter of 9:08 Dragon, he deposited his daughters into the custody of a man identified simply as their hitherto unmentioned “uncle,” and left without so much as a farewell.

In 9:10 Dragon, Aleria’s younger sister, Therese, became the third of her siblings to come into her mana at the unusually young age of 7. Like Oswald and Eadlin before her, little Therese was torn from Aleria’s life suddenly and quietly, cloistered behind the walls of the Starkhaven Circle – in the same city as her family, contrary to Chantry dictates. Unlike her brother, Oswald, however, the breach in protocol was due to the Starkhaven Knight-Commander’s indifference rather than awe. Between the walls of the pious Vael family’s Principality, the name “Amell” carried no weight.

It was three years later, in 9:13 Dragon, that Aleria herself was escorted by boat to Kinloch Hold in Ferelden. The templars were called after her “uncle” informed her that she was to be carted off to Nevarra to wed to a 51-year-old “business contact” of his, and found himself engulfed in flames. Aleria was 14 at the time. Why Aleria was relocated as per protocol instead of simply thrust into the Starkhaven Circle – where she could have reunited with her sister – was unknown, though the force with which her magic manifested might well have reignited the Knight-Commander’s enthusiasm for convention.

In Ferelden, she worried over the fate of her youngest sister and continued to blame the destruction of her family on magic, living in a state of self-loathing withdrawal. After being befriended by another apprentice named Anders, her resentment turned upon the Circle itself. The two grew closer as they matured. Their friendship became briefly intimate – an experience that confirmed Aleria amorous preference for women. As time passed, the dangers of Circle politics and Anders' reputation as a troublemaker, compelled Aleria to distance herself, but her fondness for her first fried remained. She became aware of Anders' affair with an older mage, Karl Thekla, and followed his example, engaging in discreet trysts with other apprentices. Unlike Anders, she feared the consequences of attempting to escape, but admired his tenacity.

She kept her burgeoning rebellious streak hidden, presenting a facade of content obedience. In 9:17, after only four years' instruction, she passed her Harrowing at the age of 18. She showed an aptitude for primal magic and, as a fully-fledged mage, her studies vested in this school.

In 9:30, at the age of 31, Aleria was recruited to join the ranks of the Grey Wardens, along with a young elven mage named Eríst of the Ferelden Circle and the first dwarf of her acquaintance. Valdrin, as the dwarf introduced himself, would later be revealed to be an exiled prince of Orzammar.

It was Aleria who cast the spell that killed the Archdemon, earning her the moniker, “Hero of Ferelden.” She survived the Blight and was awarded the title Constable of the Grey, acting as Valdrin Aeducan’s second in command at the Weisshaupt Fortress.

Therese Amell: born was born prematurely in 9:03, likely due to the stress of her elder brother, Osmond’s removal from the household. In 9:10 Dragon, she became the youngest of the Amell children to come into her mana at only 7 years of age. She was the third sibling of her family line to be taken by the templars. Since her “uncle,” was simply a “guardian,” and her siblings considered “foreigners,” the typical protocol of housing mages in Circles distant from their kin was considered not worth the effort of arranging. She would reside in the Starkhaven Circle until it’s destruction in 9:31.

Nicknamed Terrie, she was 28 when she (unknowingly) encountered her cousin, Wreath Hawke, while hiding on the Wounded Coast with the other Starkhaven mages tuned apostate, fearing the rumoured brutality of the Kirkwall Circle.

With Hawke’s aid, she managed to escaped. Unlike her fellows, she successfully evaded recapture and, like her cousin, carves out a life as an apostate.

Aelswith Amell: born in 9:05, Aelswith was the last of the Amell children to manifest magic. It happened a year after her elder sister, Aleria, was taken to Ferelden. Aelswith was 9 years old when she was taken to the Circle at Ostwick. She would later meet a fellow apprentice from a local noble family named Lysander Trevelyan, but the two were never friends.

Leandra Amell: born in 8:84 Blessed. She arrived so soon after her parents’ wedding that there were whispers about her conception hastening the ceremony, but Aristide and Bethann’s joy would not be overshadowed by wagging tongues. At 43, Aristide had been a bachelor for so long that many wondered how he would adjust to family life, but he proved to be a doting father and husband.

In 9:00 Dragon, when Leandra was 16, talk began of a betrothal to Guillaume de Launcet, the 22-year-old heir to his father’s title in Orlais and holdings in Kirkwall. Leandra, an intelligent and open-minded girl, was quietly horrified at the idea. The De Launcets were traditional to the extreme and Leandra had no interest in being dragged into the Grand Game, which persisted among the Orlesian nobility, even while residing Kirkwall.

Since childhood, Leandra held a deep fascination for magic and all things related to the Fade. With no talent of her own, her interested was academic and considered mostly harmless by her father. After all, Leandra was a dutiful daughter and a sensible girl. She would never do anything rash or disgraceful.

In 9:02 (a year before Osmond’s magic was discovered) Aristide surprised his daughter with a magical demonstration by mages sent from the local Circle as part of the celebration of her 18th name day. Leandra was captivated by the display... and intrigued by one mage in particular. 

If Legacy is played while Leandra is alive, this conversation happens:

Hawke: How did the heir to the Amells meet a Ferelden apostate, anyway?

Carver: Not by prowling the sewers, I hope (lmao 😂)

Leandra: He wasn’t an apostate then. He was a Junior Enchanter in the Gallows. I’d always thought mages were grim old men in strange robes, but Malcolm was... he was young, strong, never considered himself anything but the equal of every man there. And they all knew it and hated him for it. 

It was with curt civility that the clearly Chasind mage introduced himself as Malcolm Hake – the only one of his fraternity to do so. Leandra’s eager attempts to speak with his brethren had resulted in nothing but obsequious well wishes, followed by a brisk, bowing retreat. Not Malcolm.

He met the stares of Kirkwall’s assembled aristocracy, holding the gaze of each until their eyes darted nervously away. Years later, he would confide that when Leandra approached him, brimming with earnest, marveling curiosity, he had hoped that his aloof, unimpressed decorum would frighten her off as well. Malcolm, however, was not the only one present at that fateful gathering with a penchant for dancing on the knife’s edge of proprietary.

Excited to finally converse with a shaper of the Fade, Leandra would not be deterred. As yet naive of the brutal truth of Circle “recruitment,” she strove to break the ice with an inquiry into the length of Malcolm’s “tenure” with the Kirkwall Circle. The answer he gave surprised her: ten years, a mere decade, “conscripted,” as he put it, from the Korcari Wilds as a boy of 15. Intrigued, Leandra continued to pepper him with questions. Some of the things she’d asked... the insensitivity of her prying would dawn on her much later, yet Malcolm had answered, perhaps sensing the absence of mockery or malice behind her intent. By the end of the evening, Leandra had managed to coax the stern man’s full mouth into a semblance of smile, igniting fire in her cheeks.

And thus, an affair was kindled that would change the course of history...

My headcanon is that Malcolm was already planning his escape from the Kirkwall Circle when he met Leandra at the party. He followed through with this course shortly after their meeting, joining a mercenary company to scrape together the resources to return to Ferelden. Leandra had intrigued him, however, and against judgment and sense, Malcolm began a correspondence with her that continued over the next three years.

In 9:05 Dragon, thoroughly aware of Leandra’s growing anxiety over her unwanted betrothal, Malcolm steered the company to accept a job in Kirkwall. Rationalising every step as he approached the city, his self-deception shattered as Leandra ran to him at their pre-arranged meeting place, and he found his arms enfolding her in a tight embrace. Leandra fell pregnant that night and a few weeks later, the couple eloped with the Larius’ dubious “aid.” Leandra was 21 and Malcolm 28. They spoke their own vows and exchanged rings, but were never legally wed. Vows spoken under false names would void any marriage officiated by the Chantry, and the risk of wedding under their true identities was simply too great.

This means that all the Hawke children are illegitimate, which is why not even Carver can lay official claim to his grandfather’s title.

In 9:27, 22 years after their departure from Kirkwall, Malcolm is killed by templars en route to the Highever market. 21-year-old Wreath is with him and is able to return his body to the family for cremation. Malcolm was 50 when he died -- the same age as Leandra would be in 9:34 when she is killed by Quentin.

The history of the Amell-Hawke branch of the family is covered extensively in the game. I don’t have much to add to the Amell-Hawke children’s stories, except to say that I love the detail about cousin Damion being accused of smuggling and Uncle Fausten bankrupting himself to try and clear his name. It adds a hint of poetic irony to  my smuggler apostate Hawke being the one to restore the fortunes of a family destroyed by magic and smuggling. The Amells were upstanding, law-abiding folk and it ruined them. Enter an illegitimate, career-criminal son of an apostate and the Amells’ fortunes are restored... for a time at least.

(Also, as a history nerd, this bit of lore deserves points for historical accuracy, because that's how the nobility handled things back in Plantagenet UK, which Kirkwall is apparently based on. Reputation was everything. If you were charged with a crime, it was expected that you would risk everything to clear your name, even if the punishment for the crime wasn't even that bad).

A carriage awaited them. Practical and inornate, yet unmistakable with the two-headed griffon emblazoned on the door.

Carver glanced out the window, watching the scenery pass. He felt himself being studied.

“Your father, Malcolm Hawke,” she ventured.

Carver turned to meet her eyes.

“I’ve heard he was Chasind.” It was a statement, devoid of inflexion.

It was not what people usually fixated on. Most who knew the story (and were bold enough to broach it) asked about his father’s magic, about the “apostate” who’d raised him in voices laden with either pity or censure. Given the unspoken history that hovered between them, Carver supposed he knew why that particular tangent was being skirted.

He, and his sister while she lived, had favoured their mother ever so slightly. They could pass for Nevarran, or perhaps Tevinter as long as no one questioned their accent – unlike Wreath who wore their Korcari ancestry in the bronze of his skin. Like his brother, Carver had inherited Malcolm’s stature, his aptitude with a sword and according to some, his temper. Wilders weren’t known as hospitable folk, but he rather thought that had more to do with highlander abuses than a lack of courtesy among the tribes of the south.

Carver squared his shoulders, tilted his chin. “He was.”

“And, was he… a good man?”

Carver nodded. The Constable looked down at her hands.

“My father was not.” She closed her eyes. “I am sorry.”

Carver blinked. His lips parted to speak, though what he planned to say he didn’t know. He hadn’t expected this. Hadn’t expected her to acknowledge—

He’d missed his mother’s funeral, her ashes already cold when Gamlen’s letter reached him on the outskirts of Tantervale. He’d been angry at Wreath for not writing himself, until he considered what it must have been like to be there, to see what that bastard done and to watch her slip away.

He’d barely spoken of her fate since it happened. He’d received condolences before, of course. But this, from a stranger with her face, made it abruptly real in a way he was ill-prepared to confront.

The Constable drew a breath. “He killed my mother too.” Spoken so softly, Carver almost thought he’d imagined the admission.

“I was… very young. I wasn’t sure before, but now—” She shook her head and met his gaze. Her eyes shone. “I am sorry, cousin.”

“My brother killed him,” he heard himself say.

Her jaw was tight. She nodded.

Rewriting my personal Dragon Age canon a little and posting for easy reference.

The wiki says that Amell is the eldest child of Revka and her husband who was taken away by the Cantry x x  Mages cannot be housed in the same Circle where their family lives and so she was sent to Ferelden. She went docilly enough but, as she received letters of her family’s rising misfortune, she grew increasingly bitter and angry at her lot. When Jowen asked her and another apprentice to help him escape, she was eager to lend him aid and even bullied the young elf, Eríst, who had favour with the templars into playing along.

They were discovered and it was revealed that Eríst had gone to the Grand Enchanter to inform him of their plans. Eríst had hoped to be cleared of responsibility, but to the elf’s horror, he was recruited to the wardens along with Aleria. Duncan had already recruited a dwarf with a cold, aloof demeanour who identified himself simply as “Valdrin.” He would later be revealed to be a disgraced prince of Orzammar.

After Ostagar, it was Valdrin who took up leadership of their band. When they encountered an Antivan assassin, named Zevran, it was Eríst how argued to spare the elf’s life. The two would fall sloppily in love, much to Aleria’s disgust. Eríst vowed to devote his life to finding a cure for the taint. It was Eríst who discovered the spell that would kill the Archdemon, but it was Aleria who had the temerity to cast it, earning her rank as Valdrin Aeducan’s second in command in Amerantine.

There, she met Anders, whom she remembered from the Circle. He was nearly a decade her senior, and they hadn’t mingled much during their joint stay, but he had a reputation as a rebel and she admired his tenacity to escape.

After the battle of Amerantine, Anders was presumed dead, but months later, she received word that he’d been spotted by Warden Straud in the Deep Roads beneath the Free Marches.

OTP ask meme 1, 2, 17 and 18 for zevrana and fenhawke xD

For the Sexual Headcanons Ask Meme. (CW: canon sexual abuse mention)

Zevrana (I like this ship name, anon 👌)

1)  Who tends to initiate? Does it change? Why?

I have 3 ‘canon’ Wardens, so the group dynamic is a little different than in the actual game 😅

Bearing that in mind, Zevran’s first instinct is survival. To that end, he’s willing to use sex as leverage to ingratiate himself to whoever is in charge. In my canon, that would be Valdrin Aeducan, but Val is a bit of a dwarven traditionalist (and suffering a serious identity crisis after his brother’s betrayal) so the last thing he’s interested in is ‘sexual experimentation’ with some elf he doesn’t fully trust.

Val would have killed Zevran if left to his own devices, Aleria Amell is indifferent. Eríst Surana is the reason Zev survived the ambush at all, but the thing about Eríst is that he’s well familiar with the tactic of trading his body for favours and he’s not willing to subject anyone else to that. They both use flirtation as a defence mechanism, so it goes back forth for a long time before Eríst finally has enough and corners Zevran in his tent, demanding to know his intentions.

Zevran, who by now is genuinely intrigued by the young mage, convinces Eríst that he has no ulterior motive, that he finds him attractive and that sex between friends could simply be a pleasant way to pass the time. Eríst admits that he’s curious about being with another elf (which hasn’t happened before) and so they fall into a friends-with-benefits arrangement.

For a while, it’s Zevran who initiates, but as they get to know each other and feelings start to develop, it becomes fairly even.

2) Any preferences for top/bottom?

When they start their relationship, Eríst is used to bottoming exclusively. He assumes that role by default for their first few encounters, but when Zevran mentions switching things up, he's eager to try.

He still likes to bottom, but he discovers he has a slight preference for topping. Zevran is happy to oblige.

17) Dom/Sub dynamics? Who’s dom, who’s sub?

Their dynamic is fairly equal. Eríst has something of a bossy streak while Zevran is more accommodating.

18) Dirty talk, sweet nothings, or no talking (or discussing only technicalities)

Zevran loves to talk during sex. He tends to slip into Antivan so Eríst has no idea what he's saying, but he develops a bit of a kink for it. He loves the sound of the foreign words, breathless and rough in his ear.

*Fenhawke under the cut so the post isn't 5 miles long 🥳

Fenhawke

1)  Who tends to initiate? Does it change? Why?

Answered here.

2) Any preferences for top/bottom?

I'm just going to link this post from DirtyBiowareConfessions, because that is my entire opinion on the subject. They don't have penetrative sex all that often, but when they do, Fenris has a strong preference for bottoming. Hawke's preference is to top so it all works out 😎👉👉

17) Dom/Sub dynamics? Who’s dom, who’s sub?

Man, this is a tough one to answer 😅 It's always tricky to write smut for this pairing, because Fenris' experience is influenced by trauma and there are a lot of strong opinions on how that should be depicted.

My own take is that Fenris would enjoy giving up control when he knows that he isn't actually losing it. He wants to be in the moment and just experience without worrying about performance or expectation. I've said it before, but out of all the DA2 companions, I feel like Fenris is the one most deeply affected when romanced.

Sex with Hawke let's him feel safe, connected and taken care of. It also just plain feels nice. It gets him out of his head and helps him relax for the first time in... probably ever. Fenris is basically this tweet, so I can see him slipping into subspace just from the sensory overload of being touched.

That said, I don't think traditional bdsm would work for him, which is fine because my Hawke leans a little bit ace and he's happy to be a service top.

18) Dirty talk, sweet nothings, or no talking (or discussing only technicalities)

I think Fenris is pretty good at dirty talk when he wants to be 😈 He's skilled at seduction and he likes making Hawke blush. Once they get going, though, he tends to lose the capacity for verbal communication.

Hawke, who is normally stoic, will start spewing the sappiest prose ever composed. He's not even sure if Fenris hears him, because it's never commented on, but Fenris secretly loves it.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Please, talk about your Warden: 9-14

For the In-depth Dragon Age Ask Meme, thanks to @itsaseamonster for the prompts ;) Finally had a sec to fill this. Hawke is here.

My main Warden is Aleria Amell. My canon is a mix between her play and my Cousland warrior’s, but for this one, let’s go with Al.

9. Who in the group was their best friend? Enemy? How did they feel about the others.

Uh, I feel like I should just point out that she’s a Circle mage. It doesn’t seem like an ideal environment for instilling empathy and compassion and Al is a product of that, so...

Overall, she’s closest to Leliana and Anders. She finds Leliana’s odd mix of worldliness and optimism really soothing. Her company helped to make the whole ‘saving Thedas’ business a little less scary. With Anders, she remembers him from the Tower, and their friendship is fairly instantaneous. Even after Anders absconds, she remains protective of him.

Morrigan... is another story. They agree on a lot of points, but the ingrained mistrust of apostates from Al’s time in Kinloch Hold, combined with Morrigan’s wariness of strangers and survivalist attitude prevent them from ever finding a rapport beyond the necessary.

She has a brief fling with Zevran, but moves on to Alistair once his path to the throne becomes clear. Manipulative? Extremely, but in her experience, you protect yourself any way you can. Alistair is an ex templar who might well be king. From her perspective, that’s kind of terrifying -- unless she makes it work for her somehow. At the Landsmeet, she urges him to marry Anora and agrees to let Loghain join the Wardens in his place. They don’t part on good terms. (Cousland helps to smooth things over). She gets on well with Wynne, primarily due to familiarity and a shared background. 

With Sten and Shale, there’s some fear of the unknown, but their rapport is civil enough. She doesn’t trust Velanna. (If Cousland didn’t intervene she would have had her executed). She likes Sigrun, but finds her a little contradictory. She does her best to avoid interacting with Oghren and Nate. (They’re ‘Cousland’s problem’). 

10. Who is their romance option/significant other?

Monogamy isn’t her thing. It wasn’t much of an option in the Tower and between advocating for freeing the Circles and having to resuscitate the Wardens in Ferelden after the Blight, her priorities are focussed elsewhere. Post-DA:O she maintains an ‘intimate friendship’ with Zevran and Commander Cousland.

11. What major decisions did they make for the game. Elaborate on why.

There are so. Many. Choices in this game. I’ll just talk about some of the character-defining ones. Under a cut, because this is getting long:

Prologue

Told Irving about Jowan’s plans: she spent 10 years in the Circle trying to avoid trouble and keep out of politics. It’s less than a day after her Harrowing. As her ‘friend,’ there’s no way Jowan didn’t know what a difficult position he was placing her in. He’s essentially asking her to choose between her own safety and his. Yeah, he’s desperate, but that is not Al’s fault. She refuses to help and walks away, but when Irving turned on the pressure, it becomes pretty clear, pretty fast that Jowan is heading for a fall. She’s not prepared to take it with him.

Redcliffe

Aleria doesn’t trust Jowan not to try and ‘get even’ after what transpired in the tower. After Greagoir’s hostility, she isn’t keen on returning to Kinloch Hold either. She needs to get rid of a demon, and she does it the way she was taught: kill the host.

Broken Circle:

She hated life in the Circle. After being forced to leave as she was, she wasn’t eager to go back, but the people in the Tower are as close to a family as she has. There’s no way she’d stand by and allow them to be ‘annulled.’

Nature of the Beast:

This is a pretty good summary of her approach to life in general:

 when it comes to politics, avoid choosing sides

凸(⊙▂⊙ ) 

animals are better than ppl

Orzammar:

She doesn’t understand much about dwarven politics. Mostly, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Flemmeth: 

Morrigan doesn’t even know for sure what Flemmeth is. Aleria is not about to take on an opponent she can’t beat, least of all another mage.

Awakening:

She has a very simple motto for dealing with darkspawn: the only good one, is a dead one.

12. Did your Warden end up dying, or living?

She’s alive.

13. Were they a part of Amaranthine Keep (Awakening)?

Yup

14. If not dead, what happens to The Warden preceding these events?

The boon she asked for, was freedom for Ferelden’s Circles. Seeing this carried out takes up most of her focus between DA:O and DA:A.
