Elise Cousland
Birthday: late December (9:10 Dragon)
Titles: Hero of Ferelden, Warden-Commander of Ferelden, Queen of Ferelden, Arlessa of Amaranthine, heir to the Teyrnir of Highever
Gender: Woman
Orientation: probably straight
Age: 20 during the events of DAO, 31 during the events of DAI
Romance: Alistair
Personality: After the death of most of her family, Elise became heavily closed off, blunt, and cold. Over the events of the Fifth Blight, she began to open back up again. Bluntness is still a part of her personality, but she can also be known for the occasional bit of dry humor and a huge amount of self-confidence and pride. She is very defensive of those she cares about, and takes little issue with striking those doing wrong down. Loves dogs.

Miscellaneous Info
- Cannot be killed
- A lot of Rosa moments and Holt moments from B99 would fit her as well
- Her middle name is Helena
- For greater mage rights and equal treatment of elves
- Elise would unironically wear "sun's out, guns out" and/or "I flexed and the sleeves came off" shirts
- Elise considers Morrigan one of the closest people to her, still thinking of her like a sister to this day
- In a modern context, she would be the type of person to use emojis to communicate where she could to avoid typing as much as possible
- Likes other people brushing and braiding her hair. It actually serves as something soothing for her.
- Elise can be competitive, and depending on who's on the other side, she can sometimes be goaded into stupid competitions with someone
- Elise’s favorite thing about Alistair is probably his sense of humor. She finds his mix of dry sarcasm and childish glee amusing and a little infectious sometimes. Though she gets concerned about how easily he can use to to shrug off like, the entirety of his childhood.
- Elise is a side-sleeper, and normally a rather sound one. She has a knack for sensing oncoming danger, though.
- Happy Elise is the closest to pre-Blight Elise anyone sees her. actually emoting is a start. she tends to cover her mouth with her hand when she laughs. Depending on how much she likes you, she may make a dry quip or two at you.
- She probably draws worse than Alistair. She has the better handwriting though.
- Elise Cousland honestly wouldn’t have anything against most vegetables
- Perhaps in spite of how good she is at killing things dead, Elise WOULD rather preserve life if a foe surrenders with genuine intentions.
- While she isn't short per se, she hates it when people are taller than her
- Elise would be the one to "chug a bottle of liquor rather than give it to airport security"
Kel Hawke
Birthday: early June
Titles: Champion of Kirkwall, ambiguous lesser nobility title of Kirkwall from the Amell estate
Gender: Woman
Orientation: lesbian
Age: 22 during the events of DAO, 33 during the events of DAI
Romance: Isabela
Personality: Kel Hawke is a disaster lesbian. Always ready with some sort of quip or joke, there's very little she takes seriously. She doesn't always get why something is happening, but she's here and she's along for the ride. Often the bane of her brother's existance, as she is quite possibly the most obvious apostate in all of Kirkwall. Pro-mage but not about to do a terrorism about it.

Miscellaneous Info
- Her favorite place in Kirkwall would probably be the Hanged Man, because most of the time her friends and her lover are there anyway
- Hawke sleeps on her back, with her limbs every which way, and most definitely snores.
- Hawke’s specialization was Force Mage, so if she got really vengeful feeling she’d probably slam them into the ground as hard as she could.
- If Hawke finds out she’s pronouncing a word wrong she probably continues with the same incorrect pronunciation.
- Hawke would totally clip her toenails while holding a conversation with someone via shouting from a room away
- Would also chug a bottle of liquor rather than give it to airport security
- When talking to Isabela, Hawke will sometimes go “Bela, baby,”
Rosanna Trevelyan
Birthday: late May
Titles: Herald of Andraste, The Inquisitor (Leader of the Inquisition), third in line to the estate of Bann Trevelyan
Gender: Woman
Orientation: bisexual
Age: 31
Romance: Cullen
Personality: Rosanna is calm, measured, and gentle. As Inquisitor, her goals have always been to be as fair and just as possible, and she aims to take care of others and keep them safe. She is kind and warm-hearted, willing to help others - though her kindness will not stop her from taking down those who need it. She is curious, loving learning and knowledge, and can be playful or have a sense of humor. In many ways, she's kind of like group mom, but like...fun mom. She cares deeply for her close friends and does all she can for them.

- Rosanna is the most heavily Andrastian of my protags so far
- Rosanna is a side-sleeper, though once or twice she’s been a “slumped over desk” sleeper.

- In a modern au, she would most likely be a librarian
- She and Cullen would probably forget to tell everyone else they got married

- The Inquisitor watches Cullen's ass as he walks away after kissing her, that's canon and you can not change that
- She has a bit of a crush on Cassandra, because how can you not
