“Don’t play diamondback with Solas. You’ve been warned.
Taught him the game last night. He turned around and beat me at it!
Lost everything! Had to walk back to my quarters with only a bucket for my bits.”

OC introduction post
(because I realised I haven’t done one on here and I love her dearly)
Herah Adaar:
The basics:
- Inquisitor
- Tal Vashoth mage
- Lesbian
- she/her
- romances and then marries Sera
- 23 at the start of DAI
Personality:
Herah is a nerdy academic who is curious about anything and everything. She loves using and studying her own magic, but is happy to read and find out more about pretty much anything at least on an academic level.
She’s anxious to make the most she can out of her life. She’s experienced loss in the form of losing her father in an attack on the Tal Vashoth community in which she grew up and the death of her girlfriend in a mercenary job gone wrong. She knows that if you take something for granted then you won’t understand what it means to you until you lose it.
Attitude towards being Inquisitor:
As Inquisitor, Herah’s two main goals are to close the breach and to help as many people as possible in this newfound position of power she now has. Although forever an over-thinker about her every decision, she takes well to her role as leader and over time becomes more confident in trusting her instincts and knowing what is best without endless agonising. Her desire to help others will guide her to the answer in the end.
Relationship:
Herah values being able to relax from that stress though and she finds a way to maintain that balance in her relationship with Sera. Sera, like her, also acts to help people who don’t necessarily have the power to help themselves. Sometimes that help comes in the form of a morale boost. Sometimes that morale boost is for the leader’s benefit as much as for the ‘little people’.
Laughter and joy are cornerstones of their relationship and the fact that they can make each other laugh in a way no one else can is absolutely vital to them.
Friendships:
She also really values friendship and being able to lean upon and be leant upon by her friends. Her best friends from the Inquisition are fellow mages Dorian and Solas. They all geek out together about magic and theory and the latest scholarship published as a form of bonding. She knows that she can go to these two if anything happens and get genuine comfort and advice on the topic/situation.
Her biggest flaw is her loyalty. She is loyal in the most extreme sense to those she loves and she will do anything to redeem or win back those she feels like she has lost.
This next bit goes against the established canon.
In my canon world state, Solas tells Dorian (with whom he is romantically involved) and Herah about his true identity after What Pride Had Wrought. This is not a deal breaker for either although both do have to adjust to getting the full picture. I won’t go into the ins and outs of it here because I feel like this probably requires its own separate post. I just felt it was important to make mention of it for the purpose of understanding Herah’s character.
Opinions on topical matters:
- Opposed to the Circles
- Ambivalent on the Chantry (not religious)
- Opposed to the Templars
- Does not believe she’s the Herald
- Leliana as Divine
- Exiles Wardens (Although not opposed to them in theory, she can’t see that them remaining would do anything but harm for the time being.)
I hope you enjoyed reading this introductory post to Herah! To my mutuals who already know her I hope this was a fun read too! I’ve tried to cover a rough outline of her character. There’s parts that I haven’t gone into here for the sake of keeping this relatively succinct but feel free to ask any questions because I love talking about her!

New Inquisitor! Technically I named her Aribas, but she won’t actually Aribas until after becoming a more prominent leader, she’d call herself Chakasaara (wind-knife but borrowing from Urdu)
Red for her is an important color, sort of purposely bastardizing the Vitaar. She colors her face, hair, and fingertips. Did what I could with the makeup options but can’t wait to actually get vitaar.
My other default inquisitors are usually a male Adaar Mage or a female Levallan Mage
I’m kinda mad female Vashoth don’t get big horns though….. cowards…..
This play though I’m going to try to have her stern and rough around the edges.
Here goes a new adventure eight years later :D

Thinking about her (Herah Adaar). She's a mage and a community leader in a Qunari Village hidden along the Free Marches.
Herah joins the Inquisition as a healer, shortly after they reach Skyhold, to help out.
For her, everything and everyone has a place in the world, and our mission is to figure out that place. From the most wretched to the most loving, everyone has something important to add. While a person's path is ultimately theirs to walk, it shouldn't be walked alone. That's what it means to be a Qunari for Herah. To wake up every day and try to be wise enough to do what's best. To wake up every day with the courage to change, if it's worthwhile.
She's a very skilled healer, having honed her abilities in her village, and mage. Herah rarely uses a staff, since she prefers feeling her healing magic more directly for accuracy, and because she's very focused. She does have one, however, in case of a fight, where instincts easily take over.
She has an unlikely companion, that Varric instantly recognizes, "Ari", who joined her community about four years ago.
The Iron Bull, Varric, Vivienne and Cassandra become her close friends in the Inquisition, alongside Terys, the Inquisitor.
Her favorite passage is The Body Canto, and she loves watching the stars at night. Skyhold is amazing for that.

That wonderful feeling when your underappreciated fic gets a multi paragraph comment that analyzes and praises it ☺️

Thank you @thedastrash and @bluewren for the WIP Wednesday tag! Here’s a section from the Adaar/Bull longish fic I’ve been working on. Pre-relationship and pre-personal quest with mention of, but no actual, sex.
When she nodded he tucked one arm under her and snuggled close against her back. The blanket separated them, but he trailed one hand up and down her side. Bull never lied or pushed—it was a friendly touch because he was here as a friend. They lay in comfortable silence, but Adaar wasn’t feeling sleepy.
“I didn’t take you for a snuggler.”
“I’m not,” he admitted. It suggested the truth—that things were different with her.
“Why are you okay with me being saarebas?” she eventually asked. It was a question that had been on her mind. His fingers paused in their path and for a moment she was afraid she’d pushed too far. They resumed their stroking.
“Because you’re not. You have more self control than most Antaam I’ve met, and that’s saying a lot.” He buried his face in her neck and she could feel his grin. “Besides, I think I’ve always wanted a partner who could take me down if they tried.”
If you want me, why don’t you take me? she wanted to ask, but she wouldn’t tonight. Still, this little game they were playing—it wasn’t them dancing around each other. How could they face this head on and still stay distant? A charging bull, she thought with some irony, but at the last second they missed.
She knew the answer. It hung between them, a golden symbol on a red flag. She was bas and he was Hissrad. They cared for each other too much to form a relationship where that could get in the way. The moment their clothes came off it would be complicated.

i have finally written up proper bios for my inquisitors (so far) :D long post incoming
herah adaar (prefers to go by adaar) - she/her, archery rogue & assassin
adaar was raised by a tamassran and a saarebas who fled the qun so her saarebas father could live a life of freedom. neither of them liked talking about the qun, and were troubled when they did speak of it; adaar knows enough to be glad she grew up outside of it.
archery started out as just a method of hunting and occasionally fighting off attacks against her tal-vashoth village, until her parents passed and she ended up in the valo-kas mercenary company as a scout and flanker. she was content with the support role, and prefers to survey a battlefield from a distance, watching for where she's needed most.
as someone uninterested in leadership and a non-believer of the andrastian faith, adaar struggled with becoming the herald and inquisitor, always quick to tell people she wasn't holy, that she wasn't chosen, that she's just like everyone else. eventually, with encouragement from her inner circle, she grew more into the role, but still thinks of herself as just one part of the team that makes the inquisition work. she often feels that without josephines support, she never would have made it past halamshiral.
adaar is reserved, thoughtful, and self-sufficient. she tends to itch when she hasn't seen combat in a while, mostly because she likes to stay active. she also has a humourous side, and likes to tease and make puns, much to cassandra's chagrin.
---
el of clan lavellan - they/them, storm mage and knight-enchanter
el was chosen as their clan keeper's first because of their strength, decisiveness, and determination, not because they're good-natured or nurturing. they are naturally distrustful, unafraid to speak their mind with brutal honesty or scathing, sarcastic remarks, and would have been happier among the clan's hunters. el knows that most in the clan would see someone else as the next keeper. as a result, they keep their distance, even from their family, and feel a disconnect from both the clan and the heritage they were meant to uphold.
becoming part of the inquisition gives el the opportunity to escape that life. they don't love being called the "herald of andraste", but they're grateful for the opportunity to see more of the world, to meet people outside of the clan, and have a life more suited to their interests. for the first time in el's life, people believe in them, and respect them even if they don't agree with every decision they make. in time, el even begins to mellow out as they gain the friendship of their inner circle. cullen, in particular, inspires a softer side of them.
their scars come from an incident when their clan was attacked by humans. they aren't bothered by them; they like to think the scars will make people think twice before messing with them. in combat, they like to be front and center, and they fight ruthlessly.
---
evelyn trevelyan - she/her, winter and rift mage
decades spent living in the ostwick circle of magi has shaped who evelyn is as a person far more than her noble birth ever could. over the years, she has experienced a lot of mistreatment and dehumanization from the templar order--her scars were given by violent templars, and her nose has been broken, leaving it slightly crooked. as a result, she had to learn to read people well and guard herself from those who would take advantage. evelyn kept to herself, and stayed mild-mannered, trying to go unnoticed. she is world-weary, but fights to remain kind.
at her harrowing, she faced a despair demon that preyed on her lack of hope for the future. she refused to be tempted. to this day, facing despair demons in combat leaves her shaken.
evelyn believes in the andrastian faith, and when she became the herald, she wasn't sure she agreed that she was chosen, but she does pray for andraste to guide her, wanting to live up to the name. she tries to do right by everyone she can and seeks out the friendship--and advice--of her inner circle. cullen's choice to leave the templar order intrigues her, and she finds herself drawn closer to him. its her first time even considering a relationship in many years.
due to her time in the circle, evelyn gained solitary hobbies, like reading and painting. now that she has a true family, she finds joy in doing these things alongside others in peaceful companionship.
to her, the tattoo beneath her eye symbolizes endurance.

Hello there and happy Friday!!
From the "Sappho sentence prompts", I'd like to see "let me tell you this: someone in some future time will think of us" for Sera/Inquisitor :D
Thank you for the prompt! This quote slays me every time.
For @dadrunkwriting
Rating: G
Pairing: F!Adaar/Sera
Words: 384
Night had fallen, but no-one had told the Frostback Basin wildlife that, and the forest was still alive with calls, grunts, roars and a weird whistling. Herah had slept through worse, but tonight, sleep was proving elusive. In the dark of the tent, she felt for Sera’s hand, twined their fingers together, squeezed gently. An answering squeeze told her Sera was at least a little awake as well.
“What do you think they’ll say about us? In the future?” she asked softly.
“That you had a great rack,” Sera replied immediately.
Herah huffed a quiet laugh at that, held the elf tighter in her arms. “How long do you think they’ll leave it before they start ‘accidentally’ forgetting to mention that I was a Qunari?”
Sera awkwardly shuffled herself around where she lay in the cradle of Herah’s arms, turning to look into her face. “That Ameridan shit really shitted you up, huh.”
“He was Inquisitor,” said Herah, frowning in the dark. “He was Emperor Drakon’s friend. They must have had people writing down about them - a Cassandra, a Varric - but they still forgot. Chose to forget. Or at least chose not to remember.”
“That’s it. Never going to elven ruins again,” Sera decided, snuggling closer. “Always a misery ballache and no good news. Got better things to be doing.”
“Technically these are Tevinter ruins.”
“Whatever.” She was quiet for a long while, and Herah wondered if she’d fallen back to sleep. But just as Herah was considering closing her own eyes, she spoke again. “We won’t forget though. The Friends. The Jennies.”
“Hm?”
“We’ll always tell each other. That Inquisitor, she was a Qunari. She loved a Jenny. She helped. She wasn’t a prick. Jenny tells Jenny tells Jenny on and on. Chantry can forget what it likes. Friends will know. Little people will know. They can’t take you from them. Hundred, thousand years from now. They’ll know.” She paused. “That you had a great rack.”
Herah let out a noise, something between a laugh and a sob, and began to press kisses all over Sera’s face. “And you. They have to remember you. That I loved you, that I couldn’t have done all this without you…”
“All right, but can they say I’m ten feet tall and shoot fire from my eyes?...”
