Jenan Mahariel

he/him/his

Origin: dalish elf, Sabrae clan, vallaslin of June, God of Craft
Class: warrior, sword and shield, paladin & templar specialization
Romance: Zevran Arainai
Ending: Warden died killing Archdemon

Jenan was a dalish elf who has always been quiet and meek, although he wished to be helpful and useful for the Searae clan, but nevertheless felt like his parents gone, his family essentially only him, he had not much to live for, and when he was sent on the little adventure with Tamlen and saw the Eluvian, he would've done anything to have died instead of Tamlen. When he was woken up, rescued by Duncan, he felt immediate dread, and only agreed to help Merrill and Fenarel because the clan asked him to, and above everything he did not wish to disobey. He hoped he would meet his end, and meeting the darkspawn was a way for him to accomplish it.

Yet again rescued, now with taint in his blood, he reluctantly joined Grey Wardens, knowing they are rumoured to not live long. He felt like he lived on a borrowed time, and he was driven by self sacrifice above all, and helping while he still could, although seemingly often to the detriment of himself.

His friendship with Alistair and Morrigan kept him warmer during the nights, despite their bickering, he found it amusing and distracting from his own mental state. He was happy for Leliana and Sten to join, after he was freed, and when later attacked by Zevran, he could not help but be tamed and sweet talked by his silver tongue, later revealed to not be only silver. He valued Wynne's knowledge and help, and he felt at peace, for a while. All his tasks were accomplished with the least fight, with talk and hoping to reach the middle ground, if not what his companions thought would be the best.

Despite having good, sometimes even deeper relationship with Morrigan, he did not allow her to perform the ritual. One of his oldest friends left, for his own belief that he was meant to die as soon as he joined Grey Wardens, and he would not allow anyone else to take it from him. Despite breaking Zevran's heart, Jenan was felled in battle with the Archdemon.

Later on, Juno Lavellan would know him as hero, and would idolize him, while also awfully aware that in this world, dalish elves, and any elves really, seem to only suffer as the saviors of the world that discriminates against them and hates their kind.

Juno Lavellan

they/them/theirs

Origin: dalish elf, Lavellan clan, vallaslin of June, God of Craft
Class: warrior, axe and shield, champion spec
Romance: the Iron Bull & Dorian Pavus
Ending: Promised to try his best to talk Solas out of it.

Juno Lavellan was the child of the Keeper, and was sent to the Divine Conclave, where they were given the mark. They joined the inquisition out of pressure, but deep in heart, they also believed this could be the way to prove themself, to be like their idol, Hero of Ferelden. Although leading did not come to them naturally, making choices to accomodate and help people did, they made their choices from heart.

They might seem sad often, and quiet, but took their role as leader of Inquisition seriously, and they were extremely concerned to make everything right.

They found love in Iron Bull at first, and after breaking his sturdy interior to show true love, he found the chemistry between him, Dorian and themself charming, and invited both of them to find common interests together. They value Dorian's knowledge and expertise in magic as much as they admire the aggressiveness and swiftness of Iron Bull's combat, which helps them improve their own.

The three of them enjoy big interior of Juno's Inquisitor room often, and Juno's very frequent nightmares are often resolved in the warmth of his partners.

Juno helped the mages, and fought against corrupted templars. Vivienne became the Divine.

Over a decade ago, there was the end of the world. Until a hero arose. His future, he did not choose. His fate, unknown. His end, already decided.

He was like me, you see. He was the son of the Keeper. He was reclusive, quiet, and collected. He had vallaslin, he believed in the Creators, he was in love, and was looked upon with judgemental eyes by the rest of the clan... He felt like a hero, not just Hero of Ferelden, but a dalish hero. A dalish elf, tasked with saving the world.

"In Death, Sacrifice." as the grey wardens say.

I followed in his footsteps, when i learnt about him. I set out to become a warrior, like the dalish hero. I'd be strong, and I'd protect our clan. I have gained a sense of responsibility, enough to accept to overlook the Divine Conclave, for our clan. I had seen Corypheus, I had touched the orb, witnessed the sky explode.

A dalish elf, tasked to save the world. Again and again, Ameridan, Jenan Mahariel and me. I became a new martyr. I did not intend to follow Jenan's footsteps quite so accurately. He as well, was expected to save them, the world that hates us so much. It has plagued my mind, and cursed my thoughts, and made my nights sleepless.

Who had cursed us so?

"In War, Victory" they'd say. Victory it was, the sky closed up again, Corypheus dead. And yet, my mark stayed. And by the Dread Wolf, it burnt. For two years, more and more, my hand hurt, pained, burnt until I could not feel. My partners worrying about me, my advisors looking for a way to help, my friends distracting me the best they could... There was only one way.

"In Peace, Vigilance." though peace might not be, I was finally able to rest. A hand gone, my soul was free, the pain ceased, a burnt mark in the wind. Maybe, one day, there will be hope for us yet, Mahariel. The dalish will be at peace again, Jenan.

Juno's personal letter to Jenan.

Note: was playing around with mods and gave him Fenris tattoo on this one, but his face looked nice so it's here

Elgara

she/her/hers

Origin: dalish elf, clan Lavellan's First, vallaslin of Mythral, the Great Protector
Class: mage, spirit healer

Elgara is the Lavellan clan's First, the mage who would become the next Keeper. She is the oldest friend of Juno, and she started studying and practicing healing magic in order to help shape her body to the way she desired it to be. She was born a boy, and alongside Juno, who was born a girl, they both discoverd they wished to live a different life. She learned to change - and by that, heal her body first, and then helped Juno.

When Juno's father died, and she became the Keeper, she promised to keep closer touch with the Inquisition, or what's left of it, and to stay in touch with Juno.
