the defining moment for me with Josephine was reading her opinion for Judgment: Duchess in a Box Tour 9:41.

You've seen how they are slaves to bureaucracy. Demand they attend the duchess's reception, as is usual for this time of year. I can see it now: the fashion is pine.

and if you pick her, the follow up:

Such splendor at Grand Duchess Florianne's Pinewood Festival! The awkward silence! The spritzing of masking scents! And the wood? My goodness, the wood. (Ahem.) None of those attending will forget the folly or fate of the grand duchess. We will have no rivals from that quarter.

Josephine spends most of her time in Orlais, she's just as much a master of The Game as any noblewoman with an obnoxiously fake french accent.

🔥 Josephine

stop treating josephine as perfect you are all so boring god bless. let’s talk about the woman who prior to any breach signed up to be the ambassador for the divine’s inquisition to quell the templar and mage rebellions, and who worried about her wealthy family’s fortunes as innocent people she hired were murdered merely because they were pawns that could be used against her. this ISN’T me being #josiecritical this is me adoring her and wanting to treat her as a whole character like everybody else, who is from an ostensibly dark fantasy world with consequences, where her position and the work she does means her hands could never be clean. isn’t it so tedious just to read her primary character trait as “nice”. have a bit of fun with it
