#never ylva. not even ingellvar

yknow despite all the cute downtime interactions and despite her trying So So Hard to pay attention to and bond with everyone, there's something oddly lonely about Ylva.. Harding's got magic powers now that make her feel alienated even though they got on well. Bellara goes to Emmrich to talk about spirit related things now even though Ylva is also a Watcher. Neve says it's fine but it's obviously not, and Ylva has let her down not once but twice now. They started a book club without her. She even had that whole talk with Harding about how people in the Inquisition would have code names, but when they hung out they were just regular people who called each other their first names. And, well. She is just Rook, all the time.

Okay so. For Ylva, once the Surprise and Confusion about Harding's new powers settles it makes way for Envy for sure. She's still fairly vague as A Character, but growing up in a place full of magic and of mages i imagine magic is something she's always wished she had, too.

half my original reasoning for choosing Mourn Watch was my chance for Name Alliteration lol, but i'm so happy i went with it. Something fun about a Dwarf who grew up close to the Stone yet far from it. And who grew up with death as something gentle and dignified, who is now thrust into a world where death is unfair and messy and ugly
