Tagged by @uncxntrxllable

Doing this for Victoria/Tori:

★ ⸻ COMPASSION: 10/10 . Tori is a very compassionate person and always has been. She still feels she can work on it, but honestly she doesn't need to.

★ ⸻ BITTERNESS: 5/10. She can sometimes be bitter (understandably, I think.) about her father and older brother and the whole system that puts the born wolves above the bitten ones. But other than that, she's not really a bitter person. And like I said, those feelings are understandable.

★ ⸻ HAPPINESS: 5/10 Now that she's met Alex, she's a bit more happy with her life. Pre-Alex it would've been like a 3. Maybe even 1 or 2. She has more of a purpose now with their revolution. But she probably won't be fully happy until they win. (Once they do it'd go up to a 9 or 10.)

★ ⸻ POLITENESS: 10/10 She has very good manners. Her mother taught her well.

★ ⸻ CHIVALRY: 10/10. She's a gentlewoman <3 Especially with Alex. And anyone she's interested in romantically. But even with friends and family, she's pretty chivalrous.

★ ⸻ PRIDE: 0/10. She's not really too proud. She could probably use a bit more pride.

★ ⸻ HONESTY: 9/10 So Tori is a terrible liar so she only lies if she needs to and can rationalize it to herself. For example, she lies to protect her and Alex's revolution, to keep others safe, etc. Other than that, she never lies if she can help it.

★ ⸻ BRAVERY: 8/10. She'd probably give herself a 5, but Tori is actually very brave. She started the revolution in the first place, asked Alex to join her, etc. And she's standing up to her father and older brother and the whole messed up society so I think that's pretty brave.

★ ⸻ RECKLESSNESS: 7/10. She wouldn't consider herself very reckless, but if someone she cares about is in danger, she absolutely will be She will do whatever is necessary to try to make them safe. Including risking her own neck. .

★ ⸻ AMBITION: 7/10. Tori's pretty ambitious, I'd say. Not much else to say about this one.

★ ⸻ LOYALTY: 10/10. Tori is extremely loyal. To a fault. The only time she isn't is if she feels someone (her father and older brother Lucas) has betrayed her or her principles first. But other than that, if she cares about you, she cares about you and will be 100% loyal.

★ ⸻ LOVE: 10/10. Tori's a hopeless romantic, what can I say?

★ ⸻ SENSE OF FAMILY: 5/10. If it wasn't for her grandmother, her younger brother, and her mother, this would be at a 0. But thanks to them, it's at least halfway there.

★ ⸻ ATTRACTIVENESS: 9/10. If you're into that sort of thing. Victoria doesn't really care much about how she looks, though.

★ ⸻ AGILITY: 0/10. Tori rarely gets hurt thanks to being a werewolf. But she can be clumsy and awkward, for sure.

★ ⸻ SEX DRIVE: 5/10 At the point I'm writing her, she's never had sex. But she absolutely would with the right person at the right time for both of them. It just hasn't happened for her yet.

I tag: @bewitchingbaker, @the27percent, @lovepurposed (marin &/or lucienne), and YOU if you want to do this. Steal it, idc.

Ask thingy for Indra, mainly 'cause your AO3 fic really struck some chords: 1, 6, 7, 8, 15, 17.

Indra! I love her!

1: Why I love them, like them or hate them.

Fantastic aesthetic (I love punk girls), great voice in both English and Japanese, lovely personality... I have a huge weakness for characters that seem rough and lowbrow but ultimately display a hidden nobility... Her kit and playstyle would be fun if you didn't have to give Brawler Guards absolutely broken playstyles to make them work. I love her devotion to Siege and the rest of the Glasgow, I have a huge thing for badass bloodthirsty women, especially when they also have the sort of sweet exuberant goofy affectionate side we see Indra display in some of her files and talk lines, she gets to wear a suit... what's not to love?

6: The scene that I think shows just how awesome they really are.

Everyone in charge of this game is allergic to letting the Glasgow Gang shine in any way, much to my continual frustration, but the line in her files about Indra understanding the ideals of chivalry better than many of the actual belted knights of Kazimierz despite being essentially a street thug lives rent-free in my head.

7: The scene that I think adds depth to their character or the relationship this character has with someone

I think it's gotta be the scene in Chapter 10 where she instructs Dagda in the art of delivering proper one-liners, along with her giving Doc a hug. It's really interesting to me the way the Glasgow Gang as a whole seems to be pretty close with the Doctor (IIRC Doc is on a first name basis with at least two of them, and all of them are quite friendly with the Doc in their talk lines, allowing for Siege'ssomewhat aloof personality), and I would've liked to see that explored more.

8: A headcanon I have about this character.

Given that Indra is hinted to be a bit of a big eater, I like to imagine that she's eager to try all the various world cuisines that can be found in Rhodes Island. The company has a multinational workforce, and with that comes a lot of food for her to try. She personally can't cook for shit tho

15: What I think their role in the story is versus what I think it should be.

The answer to the first half of this question is "fuck if I know. Accessory to Siege, who is herself a plot device at this point? Muscle? She's just there to look hot?"

I've made no secret of my frustration about the way the Victoria arc treated the Glasgow Gang. Indra is supposed to be a badass, but she doesn't get to fight anyone more dangerous than mooks to show it off. She's supposed to be Siege's second-in-command, but Siege herself doesn't get to do much or have a ton of agency, so not much is left for Indra. We don't even explore her relationship with Siege or her other comrades outside of operator records, so it mostly feels like she's tagging along to hit things without even getting to hit anything important.

Giving her the role in the story requires a significant restructuring of the Victoria arc, because the Sarkaz plot cancer means all the fucking focus goes to Kal/Amiya/Doc and the Kazdel lore while we waste time chasing a bunch of literal who characters around Londinium and fucking Stainless plays a more important role in the plot than the launch characters it supposedly centers around. I'd trim it way the hell down, make the Sarkaz plot something separate, and focus on Rhodes Island helping Siege rally the people of Londinium to regain her throne while leaning on Indra and Morgan's connection to the common people and Dagda's status as a noble to gain support or something, idfk. It's kind of hard to fuck up a by-the-numbers rightful king returns story, but Arknights managed it.

17: how well they'd do if they got dropped in a horror movie.

Depends on the horror movie. Indra would eat your average slasher for breakfast because she's not a dumb horny teenager completely lacking in training or equipment and could handle some horror monsters just fine, but supernatural/psychological horror would be a bit harder for her to deal with.

Bloodborne's not a horror movie, but it's a good example of what I'm talking about: she could deal with most of the enemies without issue, but her bloodthirsty nature means she'd be at risk of succumbing to beasthood and she's too normal to take the cosmic horror revelations about the nature of the world all that well, although she could probably convince herself that it was just the product of a truly epic bender.

Actually, now that I think about it, Bloodborne probably isn't the best example I could've used, given that at least 50% of the game is just a simulation of an average evening in London immediately following a soccer match.

need more on the steampunk/victorian au

Here are some roles and headcanons right now.

Scoops works for a newspaper press as a delivery boy but wants to work as the youngest reporter out there. He has a conspiracy theory board to track down all the criminals and crimes committed in Fair City. His biggest goals are finding out Shadow Girl's identity or who Professor Terror is.

Violet's mom works as a nurse in a hospital and Violet usually helps or mom or works in a flower shop. She dreams of being a renowned artist one day.

Becky serves as her dad's assistant and works with him in his lab (when he is not being Professor Terror). She also aids in the public library part time.

Rose Franklin works with her dad in the pretzel factory but also dreams of being an investigative reporter like Scoops dreams of being a reporter one day.

Sally Botsford is the first and only female District Attorney in this au. Her huband Tim was a factory worker who later quit for medical reasons now does odd jobs around the city while helping to raise their son TJ.

The Henchmen are hired delivery men during normal hours but also moonlight as Professor Terror's gopher's and personal staff.

Mr. Big is a merchant who raised himself up from poverty levels to wealth. His method's of mind control come from inventing and learning about different forms of hypnotism around the world. Leslie is his bookkeeper/bodyguard.

The Butcher and his dad were food vendors who were struggling with competitors. Professor Terror offered them a solution to help with their competition as long as they work for him. They willingly agreed. Now Kid Potato and The Butcher don't summon foods, they can control and manipulate them with telekinesis.

Victoria's parents payed off Dr. Calvin Barriton handsomely for their and their kid's powers. Victoria and Victor don't have any idea as their parent's lied and said they were inherited because they are the best family in Fair City. They are an aristocratic family that claim to be descended from nobility.

Tobey is a robot inventor still yet his mother doesn't know about his antics due to Professor Terror hiding them under the guise of Tobey being a teacher's aide for Steven. Tobey knows Steven and Professor Terror are the same person and has encountered Becky before. Becky and Tobey have a friendly rivalry between them. Tobey doesn't investigate the idea of Becky being shadow girl because everyone in the organization knows that Becky is off limits or Professor Terror comes for you.

Professor Terror wears a silver mask to hide his identity.

Joseph "Joe" Smith is a miner who goes to night school to take a job as a caregiver.

Granny May is from a middle class family with a name that has been part of Fair City for a long time. She used to be an engineer before she retired and is now still as ever a con woman.

Professor James Doohickey was a scientist that went missing and came back as a villain known as technarchist who seems to have a vendetta against Professor Terror even though neither he nor Steven were behind what happened to him.

Professor Robert Tubing was inflicted with a disease and was trying to find a cure for others and himself, he ended up becoming a crazy monster shapeshifter.

Chuck was a frustrated sandwich maker who felt being outshone by his brother and his mother's favoritism. He started becoming a criminal to create a name for himself. After being caught by Shadow Girl the first time, Professor Terror came by and promised to fund Chuck as long as he worked for him. Chuck agreed.

Alex Guyson (Amazo Guy) was hired by Steven when Becky was younger to be a manny for her. Steven and Professor Terror both began to develop crushes on him. Alex has difficulty determining if Professor Terror is truly evil because he rescued him one night from thugs (not staged it was just people looking for loot and a fight.) Professor Terror saved him and flirted with Alex a bit as well. Alex was very flustered.

This is what I have for now. I don't have all the character's roles worked out yet.

Luka, Benny Cousland, Asha Lavellan, and Vaati Adaar (clockwise from top left)

Some headcanons for the new OCs I’ve been making. Maybe I should do these for all my OCs?

Vaati Adaar (Dragon Age: Inquisition) - face claim Chris Evans, bottom left

Vaati was practically born into the Valo-Kas Mercenary Company, a Vashoth child of Tal-Vashoth parents Meraad and Isala. However, he was kidnapped at age five by Templars and imprisoned in the Circle of Magi in Kirkwall, known as the Gallows. At age fifteen, he was rescued and set free by Warden-Lieutenant Lissa Surana and former Templar Raleigh Samson.

Vaati had a hard time in Kirkwall. His left horn was permanently damaged when a Templar sawed it off and had a fellow apprentice cauterize it with a fireball - the apprentice was made Tranquil and Vaati was left with a jagged white stump where his horn used to be. As part of his proposal, Blackwall gifts Vaati with a magic silverite false horn that he wears always.

Vaati was raised by Shokrakar after he escaped the Gallows. He was eager to expand his powers beyond the Circle’s teachings - he has an analytical mind and quickly became Shokrakar’s assistant tactician and second-in-command.

Vaati wields a spear that he uses mainly as a staff, and a spiked greatshield for defense and sometimes offense. He is only twenty-three when he becomes the Inquisitor to protect young Tash Adaar.

Vaati used to be involved with Tash’s elder step-brother Arno and acts sort of as a big brother to the Herald. He and Tash work together to plan the way the Inquisition goes, although Vaati defers to Tash’s judgments for the most part.

Vaati is demisexual, and began being attracted to Blackwall after they spent many weeks talking in the stables and whittling toys for the kids in New Haven.

Vaati enjoys carving and making things with his hands. His greatest fear is Tranquility, and he still has nightmares about the Gallows, where he was threatened with it daily just for the crime of being a qunari.

Asha Lavellan (Dragon Age: Inquisition) - face claim Mallory Jansen, bottom right

Asha Lavellan was the First of Clan Lavellan, but she left in order to become a Watcher for the Arlathvhen, keeping an eye on the shemlen’s wars and movements and how they would affect the People.

She bears the vallaslin of Dirthamen, the God of Secrets. Asha is a competent assassin and mainly wields a pair of daggers. However she is a mage, so she uses these to channel magic.

Asha has spent years helping city elves flee oppressive conditions and make it to various clans. She is well known amongst the Dalish and a legend among city elves who call her the New Emerald Knight. Asha’s connections led her to become the Dalish Advisor to the Inquisition and work closely with the other advisors, the Herald, and the Inquisitor.

Solas’ apparent dislike of the People led her to greatly distrust him, even as he tried to find out more about the distinctly non-traditional Clan Lavellan, and she took over teaching Tash about the Dalish folklore and culture when he and Tash’s relationship crumbled. Solas offered to remove her vallaslin and she balked, avoiding him from then on.

Asha encountered Briala at Halamshiral and the two women fell hard in love, particularly after Asha helped Tash to keep Briala in power with a public truce, and then after she assassinated Celene once Corypheus was defeated, leaving Briala as the power behind the throne Gaspard occupied as a puppet Emperor.

Asha is a rift mage and has perfected a technique much like Calpernia’s ability to teleport. She also gives Briala an enchanted dagger as a token of their love.

After she and Briala marry, Briala wears a mask with the vallaslin of Falon’Din hidden inside it, to commemorate the bond between her and Asha as one of similar strength to that of the two gods.

Benny Cousland (Dragon Age: Origins) - face claim Pedro Pascal, top right

Benezio Alendro Cousland, Lord of Highever, is actually Josephine Montilyet’s cousin through marriage - his brother’s wife, Oriana, is Josephine’s cousin, but the Couslands originally came from Antiva and the two have several ancestors in common. Josephine gets a message to Benny to have him serve as Tash’s tutor in dealing with nobility.

Benny escaped the massacre at Castle Cousland with the sacrifice of Ser Gilmore, and came across the Hero of Ferelden’s party by chance as he was trying to reach Ostagar to find Fergus.

Benny is skilled in the diplomatic arts, as well as with the rapier, and he used both these talents to assist the Hero. He formed a close attachment to Zevran during this time - the two informally married after the Blight and traveled together, first to Amaranthine with the Warden’s party. He became known as the Dark Wolf there.

Benny and Zevran spend the intervening time between the end of Origins and the start of Inquisition fighting corrupt institutions and helping protect the disadvantaged. Around this time they both become Red Jennies. While Zevran does assassination work for Leliana, Benny becomes somewhat of a mentor to Sera, helping her organize the Red Jennies.

Zevran and Benny form a polyamorous relationship with Mysen of Denerim and his husband Alistair during Inquisition. The four eventually end up in Kirkwall, helping Varric, working to improve the orphanage Mysen and Alistair started, and occasionally going on missions for Divine Victoria or the Red Jennies.

Benny is mildly allergic to strawberries and will break out in hives if he eats one, although it will clear up quickly and he won’t be in danger of anaphylaxis.

Benny is technically next in line for the throne of Ferelden should Queen Anora have no heirs. He formally adopts Alistair and Mysen’s foundling children so they are Cousland heirs, and hires guards to protect the orphanage.

Luka (the Witcher - Netflix) - face claim Niall Horan, top left

Luka is a gold dragon in human form - he prefers his human form immensely and only ever shifts back to save someone’s life or flee quickly. His mother was killed by dragon hunters when he was still a hatchling, and he had barely come of age in human years when his father Villentretenmerth had to leave him behind.

In human form Luka can still breathe fire, and can cast limited spells when he sings. His singing voice can be bewitching if he isn’t careful. HIs full name is Luczaryth.

Luka has a bright and happy spirit and is surprisingly naive. He seeks to do good deeds and seek out joy for his long-lived existence.

Luka has repaired over many years an abandoned house in a forest on the Continent. Jaskier heard Luka’s singing from afar one day and came upon the fine house. He seduced the young dragon, and the two spent many weeks together, falling deeply in love. Jaskier invited Luka to join him on his journeys and the two often perform duets, although Luka will occasionally leave to make sure their house is safe.

When Luka meets Geralt, the Witcher reluctantly takes the young dragon under his wing (so to speak) to protect him. Luka and Jaskier experience a great attraction to Geralt and act on it.

The three maintain a polyamorous relationship. Although Geralt chases Jaskier off after meeting Luka’s father, they reunite and agree not to be parted in anger again.

Despite acting very submissive to the other two in public, Luka is the one to take charge in bed, with Geralt letting go of all control and Jaskier switching between roles as the mood takes them.

Trespasser Headcanons

i. The Exalted Council

The Exalted Council is one of the most difficult point of Thora’s journey as Inquisitor, pitting her morals against her own desires. She arrives firm in her belief that the Inquisition should persist, both out of the opinion that its existence was beneficial to the people of Thedas and the fearful question of what she would be if it didn’t exist.

She advocates for its persistence through most of the early days of the Council, although there are cracks. Bann Teagan’s remark about their continued military presence in Crestwood does make her consider the length of its influence, and if it has a reason to maintain it. Had the qunari plot not tangled things, she may have offered to withdraw troops from their bases across Ferelden and Orlais, save those who were merely her allies (such as the Blades of Hessarian). As it stands, she never had the chance.

Speaking of the qunari plot, it serves at first as a justification for why they’re here. If not for them, it would have gone undetected, the whole of southern Thedas sundered in one swift, decisive action courtesy of the Viddasala.

The moment Thora changes her mind about the fate of the Inquisition is in the last scene before she sets out for the Darvaraad. Her doubts about their military presence in Ferelden and Orlais, the fact that as she locked steel with the qunari she realised how little she wanted to fight, coupled with the Inquisition’s deception and infiltration by qunari agents— who were they protecting? Thedas, or themselves?

More information cements her decision to disband the Inquisition. Her promise to prove Solas wrong, she feels, will be easier accomplished when he knows less about her activities, and she’s worked underground before (quite literally). That, and she wants to let go of the past while encouraging Solas to do the same.

One final piece is the fact that the Inquisition can only persist as an arm of the Divine. Thora isn’t blind, she knows the Inquisition was started by the Left and Right Hands of the last Divine by her orders, but through her influence as Inquisitor the order was turned, at least in part, from these roots. Dalish elves, Stone-led dwarves, Avvar, spirits, and the faithless all joined their cause, and Thora herself was not orthodox Andrastrian. They welcomed mages as equals, established places within Skyhold for non-Andrastrians to practise their religion, and generally acted like no Andrastrian organisation had acted before, save Ameridan. Thora has a great deal of respect for Divine Victoria (Leliana), and supports her policies quite vocally, but she couldn’t accept being the arm of any Divine. She would’ve turned down the Maker himself, had he asked. It would feel like a betrayal of what she had created, and she doesn’t know where it would go after she stepped down.

ii. Reunions*

In the years since Corypheus’ death her relationship with Sera, while never hostile, strengthened. Thora takes Sera’s offer on becoming a Jenny, when offered. It strikes a more favourable medium for her, going forward.

She’s not sure how to feel about being Kirkwall nobility, now, but the Cadash’s place on the Merchants Guild will be a boon for her family. Not long after Trespasser she returns to the Free Marches and her half-sister Sylvi becomes House Cadash’s representative in the guild.

Cassandra’s congratulations for a non-existent proposal makes Thora a little sad that (if she’s in a relationship) she’s not already married. It’s something she starts to regret more and more as it looks like she’s going to die.

The greatest contrast between first meetings and the Trespasser reunion is between her and Bull. She’s openly suspicious and a little hostile of Bull during his recruitment, but doesn’t feel it’s her place to turn down a group of mercenaries as respected as the Chargers. By the time of Trespasser a lot has changed between them and she’s glad to help the Chargers surprise him for his birthday.

Hearing Blackwall’s Thom’s stories about his atonement to his men and the chance meetings with prisoners makes her cry.

Almost all of her companions (even Solas, although his is much sadder) receive reunion hugs, the definite exceptions are her advisors (she and Cullen never establish that sort of rapport and she sees Josephine all the time) and Leliana, who may have to wait until they’re in private. Some hugs are bigger than others.

When the time comes to step through the final eluvian, she does so hand-in-hand with Ian ( @theshirallen ), another person who she became much closer to after the defeat of Corypheus. Her reunion with Solas is alongside Ian, and overall it’s even more emotional and tearful than in the game.

I’ve written more about her reasons for choosing to spare Solas in the past and I won’t repeat them in detail here, but in short: Thora has shown mercy and offered reason to everyone she was able. As her best friend Solas is shown the same mercy. That, and she’s not certain that simply defeating him and moving on would be the right option for the world. What she learns in Trespasser makes her question if the Veil should exist, and if there are other ways to dismantle it. Her motivations are more than her affection and love for her friend, and if something happened to Solas in Dragon Age 4 she wouldn’t stop looking for answers.

* None of these are set in stone and open to individual interpretations.

iii. Investigating the Qunari and More

Thora kills as few people as possible through the events of Trespasser. Having drank from the Well, she’s able to speak the password which grants them safe passage through the Dread Wolf’s Sanctuary, she spares the former Templar qunari, and tries to reason with the Viddasala the moment she gets the chance. Thora has never had a stomach for killing, but by this point she’s so tired of it.

This may seem contradictory for a woman who is advocating for the existence of and her place at the head of a military organisation, and in many ways it is, but as Inquisitor Thora was able to choose non-violence far more often than she ever was as a Carta agent. The mercy she showed in the Carta was often illegal (saving the lives of runaway mages) and always risked her own neck (if the Dasher found out, she’d be the one to pay). As Inquisitor she was able to recruit and connect with people, saving the lives of innocents and her enemies.

She discovers the secret room in the Deep Roads and finds out the elves minded Titans. Eventually she puts the pieces together and realises the focus, and therefore her Anchor, were powered by a Titans death.

Thora finds the pieces needed to figure out Solas’ true identity without him telling her. She suspected him of being an ancient elf in the time after his departure, but didn’t think much more of it. So much of what she saw and heard from him through the course of their friendship, coupled with the clues, causes her to come to the realisation at the final fresco.

The Anchor throughout most of her time with it didn’t cause her pain but numbness, moments where her fingers felt like they had pins and needles or that it didn’t exist at all. Any issues were attended to by Solas and, in his absence, Ian. Only Ian, Cadri, and any love interest are aware of her situation, although she may downplay it to the latter two for their peace of mind. The last few days with it were almost impossible to bear, and while as a Beserker her companions grew used to Thora’s cries on the battlefield, they’d never heard her scream like she does on the last assault on the Viddasala’s forces.

Solas’ retrieval of the Anchor dissolves her hand and part of her forearm, but it’s an uneven and painful process. The rest of it is amputated by Ian up to the elbow.

#amputation cw #write me down in history ( thora | headcanons )#v; and then the dawn came ( thora | trespasser )#we could be heroes– forever and ever ( solas & thora )#into darkness‚ unafraid ( thora | companions )#[ i need an ian and thora friendship tag tbh... ]

NPC: I cheated Death for you

Edith Morris, Baroness of Ashford

After the disappereance of the entire Ashford family in 1867 the family’s estate, wealth and title fell to the last remaining heir, Edith Morris, daughter of the late Barons’ nephew Riley Morris. London’s High Society was ripe with gossip for the child’s conception and birth 22 years earlier out of wedlock had been a social spectacle, causing the family to retreat into the seclusion of their lush manor in the English marshland. Now Edith entered the stage of social life and nobility again, taking it by storm.

There had been rumours that the child had in truth died during the terrible Cholera epidemic of 1848, at the young age of three years old. And since no one knew where the rest of her family had disappeared to many called her an imposter, a stand in, hoping to gain wealth and financial stability. But the young woman swept all doubts away, being the image of her grandmother the Lady Eliza Ashford. Queen Victoria herself was enamored by the polite young girl that treated the slippery floor of the court rooms as if she was born to dance through them.

And though it was never found out what truly happened in that terrible night on the moors where all her family found a too earlier end, the rumours gradually began to die down. To the outside and everyone that met her, Edith was the perfect Victorian Lady. Not many knew her true nature or came close to even guessing her true name:

Nephele Stormbringer

Water Witch, Goddess of Clouds, Soulless Reaper

Daughter of Riley Ashford and Matilda Girion, Edith, to her close family known only as Nephele, was born with great powers. As a strong member of her father’s coven, Nephele grew up surrounded by magic and those that wielded it without hesitation. She has been raised in full knowledge of her powers, a combination of her mother’s water magic and her father’s mind magic, to guide and shape the path of the coven as a seer and medium. She has spend many years in hiding in London, learning witchcraft from the best warlocks and magic users the Luna coven could find. She was raised to one day become leader of their coven and the future she saw in the waters of the Themse promised them greatness for years to come.

It is true that Nephele was sick with cholera during the epidemic of 1848, causing her mother to once again pay a visit to Death itself. A hundred years after Tilda and her siblings made their own deal with Death for immortality she was now seeking the same deal in the name of her daughter, saving Edith’s life and in the same moment condeming her to spend it reaping souls.

Further Headcanons:

Like her mother before her Edith/Nephele prefers to lock the souls she reaps into pebbles, smoothed by centuries of running water.

During the first world war Nephele, now in a different name and disguise, worked as a nurse on the French front, healing soldiers with water magic and reaping the souls of those that could not be saved to extend her own magic and her own life. Therefore she was able to live late into the 20th century without having to reap again.

She dislikes the act of reaping souls. The first time she reaped a soul was during the disappearance of her family during a storm in 1867. She has never told anyone who that soul belonged to nor does she speak of what happened to her family. Not even the Luna Coven knows the truth.

In the 21st century Edith leads the coven as a strong and capable witch, having almost defeated and destroyed their enemies, the Nocta.

Edith translates to prosperous in war and was the name her mother Tilda gave her, hoping Edith would find strength and resilience in the battles to come

Nephele is a Nymph from Greek Myths and the name was chosen by her father Riley, as her true name, in hopes that would it enable her to dream and wish upon clouds. Later in life it is

She is not aware of her brother, Alduin’s doom, the fire mage Drystan.

I am the Storm - Witch Verse Masterlist

#headcanons #;;i cheated death for you - Edith Ashford #she probably introduces herself as Edith; last name varying depending on where and when you meet her #but if you are a supernatural being and she wants to remind you of her power and status she often likes to remind people that she is #also Nephele and the Coven would not be what it is without her guidance #I have a bookish concept for her but you all need to stop me from going down that rabbit hole before I finished my current project #and I also destroyed the timeline of my current project to make this its own thing and not make things too complicated #I need to work all this out more but here's the first draft of what I have already for the new baby #and when I look at her names and why they were given to her - when I look at the difference between Riley and Tilda that is so clearly shown #it makes my heart hurt and break a little #I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS SO MUCH #someone: Why are you always writing about siblings?#me: No reason at all #my brother: WHAT YA SAY #i am too lazy to make this small font live with it

Gender: Cis Female

General appearance: Juliette is undoubtedly her father’s daughter — tall and of an athletic, but elegant build and more angled facial features. Of course, she has his infamous purple hair to match, though she actually keeps her bangs layered into the rest of her hair, which she usually wears tied back into a high tail which flairs out at the ends, similarly to her mother’s hair. She has her mother’s carmine pink eyes and long, thick eyelashes… and her mother’s full lips which are typically pulled into a seemingly permanent ( not to mention mischievous ) smile, much like Hilda’s. A proud and beautiful young lady, Juliette’s confident attitude is reflected in how she carries herself — perfect posture, chest puffed out, hands folded neatly either at her abdomen or behind her back, etc!

Personality: Juliette is very much a lady of nobility, and takes a great amount of pride in her pedigree, if slightly more humbled in comparison to how her father was during his younger years. She is both bright as well as creatively gifted, and lives for enjoying and partaking in many different forms of the arts. She’s also incredibly headstrong and some might say even naive at times, but her heart is generally in the right place, especially in regards to helping those around her…even if she can sometimes come off as a bit critical. Her favorite pastimes are writing and singing, the former of which she seeks to further a career in one day.

Special talents: She’s got quite a steady hand, which often proves itself useful in her sewing and other such crafting endeavors. She’s also quite a talented singer and dancer, and easily picks up on strategic and political advantages/discussions! She also inherits a Minor Crest of Gloucester.

Who they like better: She’s most certainly a daddy’s girl, so Lorenz all the way.

Who they take after more: Lorenz.

Personal headcanon: Despite carrying herself as a “perfect example” of a noble lady, Juliette is…actually a very clumsy individual, and her self critical nature tends to lead her on an obsessive warpath with any new task/skill that she picks up. She’ll do something over and over to perfect doing it before allowing herself to showcase it to anyone else, including her parents, as she fears disappointing them despite reassurance and support from both of them that such a thing would never be possible. However, she is a creature of routine and knows her limits, so she doesn’t push herself to the point of exhaustion or throwing her daily schedule off track. Honestly, she wouldn’t know what to do with herself should such a thing ever occur.

Florianne DeChalons/Vidar Trevelyan headcanons

-Even if there is a lot of tension between Vidar and his family, they were paying the Templars to let him go home sometimes, so Vidar has learned how playing The Game and he has a natural talent.

-His talent his wasted, until he became Inquisitor, because Vidar refuse to be moderate in his position. He is anti-Chantry, anti-Templars, anti-Circles and don’t believe in the Maker. Is difficult being political relevant with this believes, in the Circle.

-Florianne De Chalons is a lot of things, but no stupid. She HAS positions, but she can let go all her believes, to survive The Game.

-Between Celene and Gaspard, she is important, but not essential. When Corypheus make his deal with her, she is only playing The Game. Corypheus is ready to become a God, and she can rule all Thedas in his name. Who cares if is he a darkspawn? The Game is for all, if you can play and survive.

-Florianne don’t think much about The Inquisitor. He seem to be a powerful mage, but he is too hidealistic for The Game. This is Orlais, not the Free Marches.

-She change her mind after their dance and her defeat. A mage from the Free Marches has Gaspard, Celene and Briala under his power and all the Orlesian nobility love him. He know how win The Game.

-After the destruction of Corypheus and the rise of Divine Victoria/Leliana, Florianne can’t believes her eyes. Trevelyan was the leader of a group created to restore Chantry power, but he has conquered the Inquisition, using that power against the Chantry. Vivienne DeFer is under arrest, another victim of The Game.

-Vidar Trevelyan make a deal with Florianne The Inquisition Agent, and they joines forces to destroy every single man or woman who stand against Vidar.

-Florianne know the truth: her life in public is finished. All Thedas remember her umiliation and she is a Venatori. But she can always play The Game for the Inquisition and she start noticing things about Vidar Trevelyan.

-Florianne is ready to lose a battle to keep her power. Trevelyan no. Trevelyan knows how play The Game but he doesn’t know how to lose.

-Florianne start to plotting: she can use this, she can make Trevelyan her minion. Corypheus is no more so damn his cause, but she can be on the top again.

-Blackmail doesn’t work. Cheating during their work together doesn’t work. NOTHING work dammit. The Inquisitor is always the winner.

-Of course Vidar knows than Florianne is playing The Game, he think “why. Why now” but he like The Game too and they play.

-Josephine is very concerned. All the Inner Circle is concerned. “Inquisitor do you think is a good idea working so close to the ex Grand Duchess? She is a Venatori.”

-Florianne is mad with rage, so she use her last trick. Seduction.

-Of course is her last trick all that stories about the seduction and sex in the nobility are bullshit. Yes, can happen, but is not the first thing. There are virgins who are masters of the Game in Orlais.

-But she is desperate, she can’t lose again, and so let doing this.

-It doesn’t work.

-Until, one day, Florianne and Vidar are arguing about the last Inquisitor of the old Inquisition.

-“He was an elf! We can use this. The Inquisition as a lot of elves in the ranks, and Briala’s revolution is working. Bring the elves on our side, and they can be useful.” “Is the goal of your life become more hated than Hawke by the Chantry?” “Leliana has opened the priesthood to all the races… And fuck the Chantry”

-When they make a plan (don’t say nothing for now and use the truth when the elves are angry. Thedas can have time to deal with non-human Chantry Mothers, and they can be saviors for the elves in the most convinient moment) Vidar kiss Florianne’s lips for a second

-He act like was normal. Florianne don’t change her face. Is an old trick in the Game.

-But she think about this.

-After six months, the Inner Circle is desperate and Thedas has to deal with the more powerful political couple of all history. They really don't care about the age gap, even is Florianne is much more older and they are like a male Andraste and a female Maferath.

-After Trepasser, The Chantry sign a treaty and end all her political power. The Chantry become nothing more than a spiritual guide, and a Sister/Mother of the Chantry can be a political figure only if an Inquisition Agent is in the place.

-Divine Leliana is happy: she like charity and servitude to the Maker much more, even if she know The Game. Maybe she like this more BECAUSE she knows The Game.

-Vidar is happy: his family is very angry but can’t say nothing and they have to be nice to him because he is the fucking Inquisitor. And this is hilarious. Templars and Cirlces are only a memory and his girlfriend is fucking brilliant. A lot evil, but brilliant.

-Florianne his happy: she was never a fan of the Chantry anyway, and she can play The Game and her boyfriend is a force of the nature (well, she has no intention to SAY that anyway)

-A year after Trepasser, Florianne is pregnant. Cassandra is the godmother

-Cassandra thinks at the baby of the man who has destroyed centuries of Chantry power and the Ex Grand Duchess Of Orlais, an ex-Venatori who live for The Game.

-Cassandra screams.

(Ps: Very thanks to @midnightfuckingmayor who has let me go with his headcanon about a politically defeated Vivienne)
