27 for your DA protag asks! And 4 if you are into that sort of thing.

YES thank you these were so juicy!!!

4. What would they think about each other’s love interests (if they romanced someone of course)? 

Sumia and Leliana actually befriend Antonia and Sera!! Toni takes a shine to leli during her first few months as inquisitor because she and vivienne seem to be the only ones who recognize what a ridiculous burden this is for a young woman of 20(!!!) and leli tries her best to make things seem simpler and less horrific...then sumia comes to skyhold to stay with her wife and toni is just...in SHOCK that these two women are both in positions of power and prestige and they're just...casually married like WHAT?? that's allowed?? and one day, encouraged by leliana and sumia, she asks out sera...

sumia instantly likes sera! they bond over being Really Fucking Common & Fereldan lmao and both are sort of alienated from elven culture by circumstance so they have a lot in common that way...sumia loves how outspoken sera is, like if she wants something known she will say it with her CHEST like sumia can only imagine how much she would have gotten done if she was that assertive ten years ago during the blight!!

Damaris and isabela come to skyhold together because they love each other and also fuck canon :/..sumia has had a few run-ins with bela and they tend to get along OK but just not have too much to talk about because they see the world so differently...antonia mostly envies her her easy attitude towards life, like just the fact that shes in a position where she can just go off and do whatever....if only

For her part damaris only gets to know the inquisition era "hardened" leliana and has the same mix of admiration and intimidation that most ppl seem to have wrt leliana lol...she finds sera a little brash but she's amused by the contrast between her and straightlaced, dutiful antonia :')

27. What would be on their tombstones in the Fade (their greatest fears)?

(im paraphrasing because the tumblr app is sooo petty about copy pasting :/)

So I answered this for Antonia for a different meme; "Disapproval"...to elucidate: as the youngest of five siblings, she's always taken two things for granted. 1) not being in charge of anything and 2) being doted on by her family. so when she becomes inquisitor and has her lesbian awakening within weeks of one another, both of these facts of life are severely endangered because now there are people arguing with her and gainsaying her decisions and, even when she thinks a decision was for the best, she has to deal with the fallout. and there's ALWAYS fallout. And when she finds herself falling for sera it's almost as scary because staying with her means directly defying her family for perhaps the first time in her life. So the short version of all of that is...disapproval

Sumia's would probably be something about losing all the things she worked and BLED for during and after the blight, like waking up one day and finding that it was all a dream and she's an 18 year old in the circle again...idk how to put that concisely though. "The gilded cage" maybe, since characters consistently refer to the circle that way in dao

Damaris is...trickier, i think because a lot of "worst-case scenarios" have already happened to her during her time in kirkwall like losing her brother and mother and (essentially) losing bethany to the circle (although i'm debating making her a warden in this worldstate hm)...at this point though shes tired of outliving people. I would say "loss" (because if something were to happen to bela or bethany it might just be the final straw) but more specifically "Surviving alone"
