callidora taking one look at cassandra & finding out she’s is straight & going to dorian like “how”

[druidgroves]

callidora & dorian share the same habit of being mundanely dramatic & exaggerative but then when one of them does it while they're hanging out together, the other will look at them & say "you're being dramatic" completely deadpan

after callidora arrives to skyhold mother giselle just sighs. she warned gaius about what the presence of a tevinter mage could do to the inquisition & he somehow gets another one. fantastic.

callidora & dorian’s relationship is v important to me bc they’re the only people who really understand what the other is going through, but their families approach their situations very differently.

we already know how halward tried to “fix” dorian & all of the awful details that entails, but it went a bit differently for callidora. her mother, fortunata, is very much the type of woman who sees marriage as a way to get ahead, as a way to cement her place in the world, and marrying into the pavus family did so much for her. so when she finds romantic, yearning letters written between callidora and the daughter of another magister family, she panics. in tevinter there is no way that her daughter could rise above the rest like this, her future cannot be secured through marriage to a woman. she tries to explain this to callidora, but it boils down to fortunata having a “i liked women in my youth but i got over it and married your father” type conversation. she loves her daughter more than anything in the world but does not understand her.

then dorian goes off to study magic & callidora stays in qarinus & writes him frequently about how her mother is attempting to find suitors for her (she also laments that his engagement to livia heradanus is wasted on him).

then dorian goes to ferelden to fight demons and help close the giant hole in the sky & in doing so puts off his family’s demands that he marry. after halward goes to try & bring him back & fails, callidora has a brilliant idea. she manages to convince him that dorian will listen to her, his favorite cousin, and return home post-haste. after she reaches ferelden, however, she evades the guards that had been sent with her & shows up at skyhold like “surprise! i ran away too, let’s be pariahs together :)”

the best part about callidora’s backstory is that she was originally sent to ferelden to try & bring dorian back bc their families know that she’s possibly the only person he’d listen to only for her to be like “bye bitches i’m not coming back either !!!”. gay/lesbian cousin solidarity

[druidgroves]

ohhhh i just realized that in my canon gaius is going to be able to interact with callidora, dorian’s terrible (affectionate) little cousin i made for him. god the way they would get along like a house on fire & dorian is going to both love & hate it
