5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80 + Elsa and Maggie! 💕💕

Aaaah, thank you for the asks!  For Elsa, I’ll do the Gaggle of Hawkes AU, though her personality doesn’t really change much otherwise.

5.What does your OC normally wear? What would your OC wear on a special night? Elsa: simple dresses or outfits she can easily travel in.  For something fancier, she’ll go with silk or satin gowns in pale colors that bring out the blue in her eyes.

Maggie: work dresses or pants and blouses, mostly in the dark maroon or blue families.  She would love to find a reason to wear any of the flowing dresses she often sews for the ladies in Blackwater, even if only to spin and see the skirts twirl around her legs.

10. What does your OC keep in a special drawer? Elsa: keepsakes from places she and her family lived, little odds and ends that remind her of certain events, extremely sappy romance novels with over the top happy endings that she wouldn’t be embarrassed if people knew she read them, but she’d rather keep to herself.

Maggie: her mother’s lace shawls, her parents’ wedding rings, a snip of her son’s baby curls, a vial of expensive perfume that she sparingly dabs on when she feels blue to cheer herself up.

15. What was your OC’s childhood like? Elsa: She spent most of the time being the Responsible Middle Child in between her oldest siblings and her youngest.  Her family was always on the move, and she was the one who often grabbed little trinkets to remind her and her family of the places they’d been.

Maggie: she spent most of her childhood hanging around her grandfather on her mother’s side.  He taught her all the things that she later leaned heavily on to survive when she ran away from home after her mother’s death and her father’s subsequent spiral into serious debt and alcoholism. 

20. What kind of mother/father would your OC be? Elsa: firm but gentle, the type of mom that would be patient with her kids and show them to be kind to others.  She’d let them know there were consequences to their actions, but that even though she was upset they disobeyed or did something wrong, she still loved them

Maggie: practical and caring.  She’s had to be Daniel’s only parent for the first eight years of his life, and she teaches him how to stand on his own two feet without having to depend on anyone.  Even still, she teaches him to laugh and find joy in the little things in life, and the two of them often dance and play or simply snuggle together.

25. If your OC has a soulmate, who is it? Elsa: Sebastian

Maggie: Charles

30. Did your OC participate in extracurricular activities, and if so, what were they? Elsa: archery

Maggie: hunting and fishing

35. How is your OC working towards his/her dream job and/or achieved his/her current profession? Elsa: she doesn’t have a “dream” job per se, but she tries to get involved with charities throughout Kirkwall and wiggles her way into the political sphere by doing good deeds or anything to bring her family’s name to the attention of higher ups in hopes that by winning their favor that maybe life will be a little easier for her mother and her siblings.

Maggie: she sort of fell into her job as a seamstress back in Montreal and she continued to use her skills to earn a bit of money to supplement the income that Alan would send back from whatever traveling lawyer job he was at (none of the money he sent was ever enough, which was why she was grateful that people needed her to mend or create new clothes.)  When the bottom fell out and she and Daniel were left penniless in Blackwater after being robbed trying to get back up north to Canada, she lucked out that the tailor’s shop needed skilled help and hired her on the spot.

40. How does your OC handle grief? Elsa: she throws herself into caring for others.  If she’s busy making sure that other people are being comforted and taken care of, she can forget her grief, even for a little while.

Maggie: she internalizes everything and pretends that it doesn’t bother her, even when it really, really does.  She has far too many things that need to be done to have time to mourn, even if that means that she finds herself crying in the middle of doing chores without realizing it.

45. What are some things that annoy your OC? Elsa: overly judgmental people or people who mock others for their faiths

Maggie: general rudeness, abrasive people

50. What secrets does your OC have? Elsa: Elsa was horribly jealous of Bethany and Gavin for being mages.  They had something shared between them and their father that no matter how close the rest of the family was, they couldn’t quite match that.

Maggie: That she knew about her husband Alan’s double life.  When he was shot dead in Saint Denis, his law partner found out about Maggie after reading the “on the occasion of my death” letter that both of them had written to the other.  The partner was expecting bank account information and next of kin, not the revelation that quiet, somewhat spineless Alan had been married to a woman living in Strawberry and they had a child together, especially since quiet, somewhat spineless Alan was married to a young woman in Saint Denis and they had a child not even three years old.  Maggie, not wanting to upset a woman who needed Alan’s insurance money more than she did and who had honestly loved him, had pretended to be a family friend paying their respects.  She swore Alan’s partner to secrecy and asked him to fudge her marriage certificate and Daniel’s birth certificate.  When he asked her what last name she wanted to use, she blurted out Smith. It was an impulsive thing, and she can’t bring herself to tell Charles when she finally sees him next that they’ve been technically married for a little over four years.

55. What are your OC’s thoughts on death? Elsa: doesn’t like to think of it too much.  She finds that after people are gone, they’re either an almost tangible presence in the space they once took up or else there’s a terrible sense of emptiness that nothing can ever fill up again.

Maggie: it’s an unpleasant fact of life out in the wilderness.  She tries to be practical about death and teaches her son how to survive on his own should the worst happen to her.

60. If your OC could change one thing about him/herself, what would it be? Elsa: her height.  Out of her siblings, she’s the shortest.

Maggie: nothing really.  She works with what she has and the situations she’s been given.

65. What is your OC’s favorite drink? Elsa: black tea with dried roses and honey

Maggie: coffee or blackberry wine

70. What is your OC’s favorite book? Elsa: Swords and Shields, but she’ll never tell Varric, lest his ego gets too much.

Maggie: any dime novel adventure, the more outlandish and with the most incorrect details the better.

75. What is your OC’s favorite scent? Elsa: old books and leather

Maggie: lavender, sawdust, and pine

80. What is your OC’s favorite dinosaur? Elsa: She isn’t aware that Thedas has any dinosaurs, but she can admire the huge bleached bones of dragons that she’s come across.  Her siblings are quick to remind her that said skeleton had a relative that tried to eat them back in the Bone Pit if she gets too sentimental though.

Maggie: She hasn’t seen very many, but she does remember wandering riverbeds as a girl with her grandfather and finding these strange tracks that belonged to what her granddad told her were huge plant eaters.  She remembers that the prints were huge, but there were several smaller sized ones scattered among them, like a family had traveled up and down the river.

OC Asks

All those asks that you havent answered yet

So one time my BF and I went on a road trip up the oregon coast and then to Seattle. He was getting tired on our Seattle leg of the journey so we swapped and I drove for a while. I drive a ford and he drives a subaru. We were in the subaru, and I went to put it in drive, but instead turned the windshield wipers on full blast. Out of habit, I pulled down on it, since that’s where the gear shift is in my truck. His is not. I have yet to live it down.

19: do you keep a journal? what do you write/draw/ in it? I do! I have a planner for dates and scheduling stuff, a Bullet Journal that I keep my mood tracker and habit tracker and various lists in, a gratitude log, and my ‘write about your day and your feelings’ journal. I just filled my last one, and now I get to start a new one!

20: what’s your favorite eye color? Blue.

21: talk about your favorite bag, the one that’s been to hell and back with you and that you love to pieces. I have a 5.11 backpack that I used in college, and then used to travel, and now I’m currently using it as my roller derby bag. It’s super versatile. And I can put patches and pins on it.

26: what are the shoes you’ve had for forever and wear with every single outfit? My pink double tongue low top converse.

27: what’s your favorite bubblegum flavor? I feel like there was a strawberry watermelon hubba bubba flavor I loved as a kid, but maybe I imagined it.

38: tell us about your pet peeves! Other drivers. 

39: what color do you wear the most? I usually wear quite a few different colors, especially in the summer.

40: think of a piece of jewelry you own: what’s it’s story? does it have any meaning to you? My uncle (who’s not my uncle, just a close family friend) bought me a diamond necklace when I was 10, because he said my first diamond shouldn’t be from a boy, so that way it would just be another piece of jewelry, and not my ‘first diamond.’ In hindsight, that was kind of a cool thing to do, because now I don’t feel like I have to keep or get rid of jewelry just because of who I associate it with. If it’s a nice piece, it’s a nice piece. It’s not my first diamond. 

41: what’s the last book you remember really, really loving? Outlander. It’s so well researched, and it’s got political intrigue and smut but I never felt like I was being talked down to or treated like a dumb reader.

Thanks for Asking!
