OC as a child

Rhona Trevelyan ft momma Trevelyan I was tagged by @heraldofwho thank you bunches!!!

1. Who named them/ significance of their name? Rhona’s father, Elwyn is the one who actually named her. It means blessed and holy. Fitting, right? Rhona’s family is heavily involved with the Chantry and her parents have named their other 3 children blessed names- so they felt it only suiting.

2. The home they grew up in? Rhona’s family owned 2 estates, one in Ostwick and one in Nevarra. The stayed in the Free Marches estate for most of the year, often spending the summers in Nevarra to visit her mother’s family. Being her mother was born and raised in Cumberland. Their estate to which they lived in the most was glorious and very well decorated, it included 12 bedrooms, a parlor with a view of the countryside, and a very large and well stocked library which Rhona spent much of her time in before the Circle. Once her magic manifested she made her home in the Ostwick Circle, but once she gained control of her magic and passed her Harrowing- she was able to leave as she pleases. Which she always ended up home for months at a time before returning once more to the Circle. She didn’t actually start spending time at home again until her early twenties, upon returning from Ferelden and Kirkwall in fact.

3. Relationship with parents? Rhona had a tight-knit family but was the closest with her father, being the baby she was his little princess. They were seen everywhere together, she would sneak into his salons and was the center of attention. He completely doted on her and loved her endlessly, she got her love for reading from him. He is the one who taught her to read and it became their favorite pastime together. Her mother loved her just as much but was much more stern, she wanted her children to be completely well cultured. Which meant constant tutoring and  responsibilities. Despite Rhona being sent to the Circle at such a young age, both her parents made sure she was living comfortably and contently. Giving their status, she was able to move back home once she passed her Harrowing- her mother made sure she had the best tutor. When they heard their baby girl was off fighting the Blight in Ferelden her mother quite literally became ill because of the anxiety. She didn’t actually recover fully until the Viscount of Kirkwall sent word to Elwyn and Fianna Trevelyan that their daughter was safe as can be in Kirkwall. After the Qunari attack on the city, Rhona escaped the fighting and made her way back to Ostwick and lived the next 3 years at home and working with young apprentices at the Circle. Rekindling her relationship with her parents and helping out more with the estate affairs. 

4. Three words that describe them as a child? Spritely, mischievous, and fiery. She was honestly a very devious child, her and her closest sibling, Asher, spent many evenings planning heists on the kitchen in order to obtain sweets after bedtime- giving their nanny the hardest time; she blamed Rhona’s troublesome behavior for her aging early.

5. Childhood friend(s)? Her closest friend was her older brother, Asher, who was 2 years older than herself. They got into all sorts of trouble together, from kitchen heists, to mud pies thrown at the stable hands. They were joined at the hip and wherever one went, the other was quite literally on their heels. Outside of her family, her childhood best friend was her neighbor, a girl her age named, Lucille. Her family were constant guests of her family’s salons and she was just as rambunctious as Rhona. They spent hours in the estate’s gardens, playing mostly hide and seek. They lost touch once Rhona’s magic manifested, Lucille’s parents didn’t want their daughter involved with a mage.

6. Favorite toy?  Rhona’s grandmother made her a crochet dragon, being those were the center of her fascination. His name was Bufkin and Rhona didn’t go anywhere without him. She brought him with her when she had to move to the Circle and it never left her sight. Once she left for Ferelden though she left it behind and the Knight-Enchanter sent it back to her family for safe keeping. It had a special place on her night stand and even well into her early twenties it was a source of her comfort. When her parents found out she was the leader of the Inquisition, they went out of their way to package it and send it to Skyhold- in hopes that it will once more give her comfort in those trying times.

7. Any childhood traumas? Rhona’s only traumatic event was the night her magic manifested, she was having a fit of night terrors once more and this time when she awoke her bed’s canopy was set ablaze. As she was only a wee 6 year old, waking up to find her bed was on fire after having vivid nightmares was just the most horrific thing to her little mind.

8. Hobbies? She spent hours grazing her library’s selection, namely at tomes about dragons- which her mother brought home the last time she was in Nevarra. Since she was able to read alone in confidence since the age of 3, she had a vast knowledge of dragons and wyverns stored in her brain. She could easily tell you anything and everything you would like to know about those giant lizards. When she wasn’t reading in the library she just liked to simply explore the estate grounds with her older sister, Gwyneth. 

9. Childhood fears? One word- possession. She was honestly never sure she would be able to resist demons, she didn’t believe she had a strong willpower. So her first few years at the Circle were spent being extra cautious and vigilant, especially when she was asleep. She learned quickly on to not trust anyone but herself in the Fade. But the thought of being possessed still scared the life out of her.

10. Quirks? While she was still learning to control her magic, whenever she would sneeze something nearby would be set on fire- once was another apprentice’s robes. For the longest time the other apprentices would clear the room when she was on the edge of a sneeze.  She snorts when she laughs, all the time. She used to think it was the ugliest thing until she met Cullen. Who said her laugh the most pure thing to him and made her...well her.
