You Can't Save the Spider *and* the Butterfly

1. Animals

• I’m going to cheat and make 1-3 a tie between my three cats, rather than any particular type or breed of animals. So Chibi and Ninja (half-domestic shorthair, half siamese littermates), and Wilhemina (a stray we picked up literally out of the road after running over—but not hitting—her).
• The scarlet macaw that the old assistant manager used to bring to work with her every day. 
• At the moment, the lizard that hangs out on the patio at work. He’s such a badass little lizard, always taunting the stray cats that try and fail to hunt him every day.

13. Disney Films

• Little Mermaid
• Aladdin
• Lilo and Stitch
• Monsters, Inc
• (not really Disney but still distributed by them in the US) Howl’s Moving Castle

Favorite Person: Outside of my OCs, Morrigan. There’s so much to her character that I missed the first time or two through the game—first because I was just trying so hard to get Alistair’s approval, and second because I was playing a male Warden. The first time I returned to an Elissa and was able to really befriend Morrigan (while still keeping Alistair happy, thank you Feast Day gifts) I fell in love with the character so much harder than I had even on my male Warden’s save. To know what she came from, and for her to be willing to call the female Warden her sister, was amazing for me.

Least Favourite Person: Carver. I haven’t played a save where he goes away to the Wardens yet, so maybe that will improve my opinion of him once I do, but in the meantime? I have less than no use for the brat.

Prettiest Person: Default Bethany by a long shot. I don’t have any logical reason for it, I just adore her perfect face.

Person I Want to Marry: Maker, none of them! Have you seen how broken every character is? My OCs might be more or less happy in spite of their circumstances, but I know better.

Person With Whom I Want to Be Best Friends: Bela, even though I don’t think I’d be able to keep up with her.

Favourite Pairing: f!Cousland/Alistair for one involving the player; Bela/Fenris for one that doesn’t.

Unpopular Opinion: Um… I don’t know, aren’t all opinions in this fandom kind of equally popular or unpopular? If nothing else, it seems like most situations to have an opinion of and choices in the games are deliberately polarizing.

I guess I’ll just pick a random head canon, then… I don’t think Alistair is Fiona’s son. I mentioned this in my head canon for him yesterday, that while I don’t put it passed Eamon to lie as necessary to Alistair, the timeline between what Alistair was told (that he was hidden to protect Rowan from embarrassment) is YEARS off the timeline for when Maric knew Fiona. Therefore, there’s a third son/second bastard that could take the throne but hopefully will live his life in relative peace without all that bullshit instead.

9. Makeup?

While I’m still not certain how her light bending magic works, she’s never needed external cosmetics as an adult of any kind because of it. She did used to color her hair with berry juices and such for a while, but that was as much as an alibi for her sudden appearance changes as it was for cosmetic reasons until she mastered her face shifting, as she calls it.

19. What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

I would assume that in most circumstances that she’d be running over Templar patrols and such for the next day, as well as she’s been able to determine them at any given point. After Anders blew the Chantry sky-high and up through her capture in Kirkwall a few years later, though, most of her thoughts at any given time were focused on figuring out how he did it, how she could replicate it, and what targets she could hit that would help the most mages.

29. Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)

For Vrania, such a disaster would almost certainly be the Templars getting too close, which would mean it’s time to find a new face, a new village/city/nation, and a new alibi once she gets where ever she ends up going.

39. What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?

Lyrium is always the fastest solution, but she’s also more or less mastered entropic magic, and can drain energy from those around her in a pinch.

49. If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?

On the rare occasion that she can’t slip away into the shadows, Vrania’s taken on a more or less bar-room-brawl fighting style. She’s not terribly strong, or fast, but if she can lift it you can be sure she’s going to try and hit you in the head with it—flagons, barstools, and occasionally bystanders. A well-placed kick to the groin always seems to be effective, and while she’s only recently begun to learn to use pure force the way Bethany does, if she can get away with it she’ll put a bit of energy behind any blows she does land (assuming there aren’t any Templars nearby to sense the magic).
