guidelines
ㅤ general ㅤ
this is an unaffiliated + highly critical roleplay blog regarding bioware's canon of the dragon age universe. consider this account gaider critical / negative , especially regarding to his novels. if criticism towards his blatant racism and sexism bothers you, feel free to block me. i am 21+ and would like my following to be so as well. please don't follow unless you're 18+ ! i will block minors. theme, promo, psd and header graphics were commissioned from @hyruleshop. carrd is commissioned from @elfaeba. icon borders is by @supersources. pinned edit is by @cavalierfou.all the standard things apply here, do not follow me if you’re racist, homophobic, transphobic, ablest, write rape / incest / pedophilia, argues that fiction doesn't affect reality, etc. consider this blog pro callout regarding the topics above ( you will not see callouts regarding petty drama here, only regarding serious offenses).
i have a very strict line regarding writing villains. if they cross any of the topics listed above, do me a favor and don't interact with this blog. i understand that muse ≠ mun, however i'm genuinely uncomfortable with seeing that content in the extreme.
a note on whitewashing: whitewashing is rampant in the dragon age community and i will have none of it. if you see a mutual whitewashing, do your part in educating them because a lot of the time bioware enables this and makes their canon confusing as hell. the following characters are either mixed / poc that both bioware / da community whitewashes heavily: alistair theirin, fiona, briala, morrigan, cole, merrill, cassandra and more. i will not follow you if you continue to whitewash these characters. feel free to message me politely for canon references. if i see you interacting with blogs that whitewash these characters and do nothing to correct them, i will also unfollow you.please keep in mind that i soft - block / hard blog pretty liberally and 99% of the time its due to my adhd, since i might accidentally follow - unfollow - refollow if it's been awhile & i don't wish to bother you. it might also be that your content simply makes me uncomfortable for whatever reason, so please don't take it personally. if you plan on breaking mutuals with me i ask that you at least soft block me, if not hard block. don't worry, i don't take blocks personally (unless your a bigot or something).
ㅤ content ㅤ
i am highly canon divergent considering that i feel some of the characterization of dragon age: inquisition is inconsistent with other official dragon age content. all canon divergences can be found under the choices section. if you have differing understandings of the game material, that's amazing i love seeing different theories! however, i ask that you respect my interpretations as well. there's a fine line in polite discussion and being passive aggressive about canon.
triggers will be tagged: #trigger tw & #trigger // for your blacklisting needs! i ask that you return the same curtsey. if i ever forget to tag something i have my anon on so you can politely ask me to tag it without any anxiety on your end! i want to curate a safe space for my mutuals as best as i can. also, keep in mind that hana's narrative is centered on overcoming the trauma of child abuse / neglect & her biography will recall that experience. however, this blog is healing - focused and explicit abuse will never occur.
ㅤ personal ㅤ
i will not follow any blogs from the following fandoms: snk / attack on titan, berserk, cyberpunk 2077, critical role, tlou2, squid game, or bridgerton. i will not follow other fandoms with similar themes or content for my personal comfort. multi - muses may have the exception from my own discretion ( towards those i trust ). blogs from these fandoms may be blocked for personal safety. a note to my mutuals: if you can tag any content relating to the fandoms above with: yurim don't look. i would greatly appreciate it.my relationship with language is... interesting. due to living in a non - english speaking country and my crippling mental health in my teenage years, my speech and my english suffered a great deal and i'm prone to misspelling, grammar errors, etc.
please be kind and patient when you see errors in my posts. feel free to politely nudge me when i do make mistakes, but roleplay is a hobby and i'm too old to stress over every single mistake i make.lastly, please keep in mind i'm a very talkative person. while i usually clean up my ooc posts pretty regularly... i post a lot of ooc in general. i like interaction with my mutuals. i like to make funny posts or vaguely talk about my life. i like to feel like my mutuals are my friends above everything. if that bothers you, thats totally fine! this just isnt the blog for you.

fours are self-aware, sensitive, and reserved... they are emotionally honest, creative, and personal, but can also be moody and self-conscious. withholding themselves from others due to feeling vulnerable and defective, they can also feel disdainful and exempt from ordinary ways of living. they typically have problems with melancholy, self-indulgence, and self-pity.
melancholic
melancholic individuals tend to be analytical and detail-oriented, and they are deep thinkers and feelers. they are introverted and try to avoid being singled out in a crowd. a melancholic personality leads to self-reliant individuals who are thoughtful, reserved, and often anxious.they often strive for perfection within themselves and their surroundings, which leads to tidy and detail-oriented behavior.
chaotic good
chaotic good characters do what their conscience tells them to for the greater good. they do not care about following society’s rules, they care about doing what’s right. a chaotic good character will speak up for and help, those who are being needlessly held back because of arbitrary rules and laws. they do not like seeing people being told what to do for nonsensical reasons.

prologue
introduction
trigger warnings: ㅤchild neglect / abuse (mental & physical). signs of depression, low self worth and occasional self destructive tendencies. my headcanons for ghilan'nain shapes hana's narrative as a character study of: ㅤbeing the north star and the void, a witch at the crossroads.
hana was born on the open sea, at least that was what her uncle once told her. he had only answered two of her questions her whole life, that she was born within the waves of the ocean as her mother then unceremoniously left her at his doorstep with a note-- and that she would never see her mother again. she was raised by her elf - blooded uncle in kirkwall's darktown. the majority of her childhood was spent in the attic of his rickety, run down home. for as long as she could remember, hana would try to make her existence as small as possible, as her uncle was prone to anger and didn't discriminate where he'd unleash his rage. it'd be many long years of wondering why her uncle kept her under his roof, when her very existence seemed to be a burden. she never dared to ask, simply hoping that one day when his rage would be too overwhelming, that the answer would fall from his lips. however, she was never that lucky and he remained iron lipped to every question that weighed on her young mind. though she never got a clear idea of what her uncle did to keep them afloat, she could tell by listening and peeking at the company he'd bring, that none of it was exactly good. nevertheless, for the majority of her early childhood years, hana found that she had to fend for herself. quietly sneaking
downstairs when her uncle and his companions were in deep inebriated slumber. she'd often had to dodge broken bottles and the like as she scavenged for necessities before silently making her way back to her favorite corner of the attic. sometimes hana would venture out of the house, but the maze of darktown did little to encourage her. corpses littered the streets, piled over each other mindlessly and whispers of undead to frighten her sent her running back home. eventually, she'd find her way to lowtown on her own and as long as she kept as far away from the foundry district, she could breathe. hana would live like this for years, as a ghost haunting the attic of her own home-- doing her best to make herself as small as possible and barely make a sound, despite her sickly nature.
prologue
chapter i
she was ten years old when her uncle had some new associates over at their home. he was never the type to work with the same individuals more than a handful of times, finding success in not declaring clear cut loyalties as many in kirkwall often did. it was a difficult life, but one that his rage and paranoia demanded. nevertheless, he became acquainted with a keen eyed apostate who had stuck around longer than most. they both desired freedom from any of the factions while having the protection of each other. it was the apostate who'd stayed for a few months, that finally noticed the elven girl living in the attic. amazed with hana's abilities the mage suggested training the girl as a rogue. hana's uncle, hwan, had already started sending her out to the streets of kirkwall to bring back coin by any means necessary anyway. with her skills he'd have another hired hand with them, one they wouldn't need to pay. from that moment onwards, daggers and a bow were
placed in her hands. however, it was not without brutal and rigorous training. often left bleeding, burnt and bruised before the nights were over-- she often had to deal with her injures in complete solitude. despite the gruesome training that didn't spare her any pain and soreness, hana proved to be exceptional. it wasn't long before she was sent out in the field, trailing behind them as a silent shadow. fashioning a featureless mask, and dawned in a cloak of complete darkness-- she was known only as the goblin's shadow. her role, was mostly in the vein of espionage. hana could fold her small frame and hide for days to gather information. other times, she'd wait as her uncle would cause a diversion and silently slipped in and out of the most secure places in the city state without a trace. however, hana was best utilized as a sniper. often she'd follow her uncle at a distance under the cover of night and simply watch until things went awry. with the distance and cover, hana could pin down any opponent that crept behind her uncle. most times, she'd aim to make sure they'd keep their lives unless she judged them quick of deserving death.
prologue
chapter ii
it's her sixteenth birthday, when she's laying across a rooftop near the hanged man and singing while listening to the waves roll into the docs. she does everything possible to delay going back home, especially since she has enough coin in her pockets that her uncle can't possibly get furious with her. she was gifted in many ways and her voice had the ability to captivate an entire crowd with her song-- and yet like everything else in her life, her uncle shackled her. there was always a spark in her eyes when she sang, and it shined bright even if she was oblivious. for whatever
reason, a dream was something prohibited to her, moreso a dream that seemed too unrealistic and unattainable in his eyes as he denied the talent hana possessed. yet, here she was singing to her heart's content. it was her birthday after all, if she could have nothing else she would do this. while used to the occasional attention her soft humming or soft singing under her breath had gotten, nothing prepared her for the kind of attention she had gathered that night. a few lesser lords stumble out of the hanged man, various stages of inebriated but all find themselves
instantly drawn to the angelic, though terribly melancholic song. realizing the unusual group of listeners, hana faltered, moving to disappear into the shadows before one cried out for her to stop. most days she wouldn't have heeded it and would've run as fast as her feet could've taken her. for whatever reason though, she stopped and turned. the lord introduced himself as ser ferdinand d'amboise of orlais, traveling to the free marches for his darling sister's sixteenth birthday. the minstrel they hired for the party to be held the next night had fallen terribly ill and he proclaimed the maker himself must've designed it to be, for him to find such a beautiful and talented little rabbit to parade. hana doesn't quite remember how it was all agreed upon and she had not gone home that night. she knew there she was risking a lot ( both her uncle's rage and her safety )-- and yet at such a young age so filled with melancholy, she felt she had little to lose. she was always underestimated and the rogue learned to use that to her advantage, trusting in her skills that she would get out mostly unscathed if things went wrong. much to her shock, hana had found herself in hightown in care of other elven servants-- charged with scrubbing away the constant grit and grime that came with living in darktown and make her presentable. the next day was a whirlwind of beautiful sights and extravagance that she'd never seen. she had no idea what to do but her shy softness charmed most and once she had started to sing, nothing but praises followed her. returning home to darktown proved her suspicions, her uncle's fury raged hotter than she had anticipated. yet, the moment she was able to empty her pockets of gold and get a few words in, a plan began to unravel. all they would have to do was perfect the art of the game. hana played the charity case to the nobles of kirkwall. they loved beautiful things, so she perfected it all. beautiful smiles, graceful steps, soft gestures. while the pay was more than she could imagine as a young bard, it was the occasional misplaced broach or watch that really brought them gold. so, while the lords and ladies played pretend and bragged to one another about their apparent ‘generosity’ to the polite and beautiful elven girl, she smiled with practiced grace while sliding just one of many delicate hairpins into her sleeves. then, her uncle would find a ' merchant ' who would take the goods out of kirkwall as quick as possible and they would be that much richer to none the wiser. as the years went by and with hana's careful planning lead to a relatively stable position of one of kirkwall's most notorious bards.
prologue
chapter iii
hana can't quite remember the day she snapped. she thought she's snapped in the past, but nothing had compared to the night she left her childhood home in darktown and never went back. gone was the girl who hoped that one day she would be good enough to be afforded some familial affection. too much damage had been done and when his anger turned toward her once again, she returned it in kind and hana realized that the same darkness and rage lied somewhere in her heart, slumbering. packing up all that she safeguarded as her own, hana vowed that he would never see another copper from her and if he knew what was good for him-- he'd stay far away from her. running to the one place he'd never approach, hana found haven at the kirkwall's elven alienage while continuing her work as bard and a rogue, this time on her own.
finding a place she could call her own and an income that was entirely her own, through her own prerogative hana spread her wealth under the cover of night throughout the alienage. never once taking credit and always being careful to only leave enough to keep families afloat as to not raise suspicions and the attention of humans.it would be only a few months before wanted posters for the goblin shadow would begin circulating kirkwall for a crime she hadn't committed. with limited options she has to decide if the ferelden refugee hawke is worth the risk in trusting...
recruitment:
the shadow bounty
the quest is active when hawke encounters bounty posters that can be found around kirkwall. the posters reveals that there is a handsome reward if you bring the criminal to the guard-- dead or alive. hawke can pursue the bounty to collect funds for the deep roads expedition.
encountered with a blue / purple there are a few ways that hawke can get some insight on the goblin shadow: rumors / information about the shadow are relatively vague and change depending on who hawke asks. if information is found in darktown by thugs, most of them hold negative sentiment for the shadow, claiming they often set up elaborate traps to stop the coterie or other groups from harming innocents.if hawke looks for leads in hightown, they can gather a rather rough break in occurred recently where several guardsmen were killed, leading to the bounty. if hawke is also in the middle of completing wayward son, or visiting/exploring the elven alienage for another reason-- an elven child can be heard talking about seeing a shadow dart across the walls of the alienage the previous night. hawke doesn’t get much information out of him, but the child is enthusiastic over a debatably elven figure that looks after them, as the child has noticed his parents worries melt away that morning and were uncharacteristically auspicious.
hana can be officially encountered if hawke wanders around the elven alienage at night, or if talking insistently with the patrons at the hanged man. the former, leads to encounters with the shadow who is much more standoffish and trying to gauge what hawke is like in a protective standpoint. the latter, leads to a conversation with hana herself as she joins hawke’s party’s table for some drinks after they fail to get hard leads.hana is much more charismatic and tries to gauge the party from a more friendly stance and introduces herself
as one of kirkwall's notable bards the songbird, who hears rumors of the shadow when she performs at high town. both encounters can take place, as hana portrays two very different personas. either way, when hawke, hana will open up about the issue at hand and promises they’ll still get a reward if they hear her out. if hawke agrees, hana tells her story.revealing both sides of her identities, hana tells hawke of her uncle who raised her to be a criminal. as a child, all hana ever knew was to be a con artist and pick pocket in order to bring enough coin home so her uncle wouldn’t kick her out on the streets of kirkwall. through luck she was able to hold a significant position with the nobility, which became a turn of luck for the pair. however, considering her strained relationship with her uncle, hana cut off all contact when she became bold enough to live on her own. leaving darktown, hana moved into the alienage, vowing to never give her uncle another penny while she lived.hana claims she has been working alone and finds no reason to partake or lead any kind of heist that occured when the guards died. hana believes that her uncle has been needlessly pulling higher stakes and posing as her to somehow get back at her and it's working. she concludes that she needs help dealing with him, since involving the guards would reveal her connections. if her proposal is accepted she'll pay hawke the worth of the bounty. if hawke agrees to help, hana takes the party to darktown and follows some loose ends she's been keeping a close eye on, to see where her uncle is currently holed up at.
once pointed in the right direction and some battles with different groups of thieves associated with her uncle, they finally meet. hwan appears to be acting very strangely, jumpy & easily agitated as if running on very little sleep because of something terrifying. he will repeatedly call hana an abomination created to do nothing but destroy. a battle starts as hana goes straight for her uncle but they're in a standstill as hana, unable to take the final blow and is overtaken. hawke is able to choose from the following options:
fight hana's uncle & let him go:
hawke gets in between the two and can engage combat once again but tells him he needs to leave kirkwall, a choice made through hana's insistence that she might need him one day. despite her childhood, he is the only link in trying to find out anything of her past. defeated and all the other men dead, her uncle flees all the while proclaiming hana an abomination, telling hawke to be rid of her as soon as they can.
fight hana's uncle & kill him:
this results in hana feeling divided, feeling angered, betrayed and empty ( though not exactly directed at hawke, feeling utterly alone her emotions stir towards them). she momentarily leaves the party after leaving substantial payment and will eventually seek out hawke as she wrestles to understand why everything happened the way it did. she wonders if she'll get closure as she has to settle with never getting answers.
turn on hana:
making a deal to get rewarded by both the goblin and the city guard by turning hana in for the bounty. she is handed to the guards and imprisoned, however hawke will hear about her escape as well as getting a warning arrow grazing them one night that seemingly appeared out of thin air. hana will permanently leave kirkwall and never join the party. a verse that follows this plot line can be found verses and is available with prior plotting.
...with her uncle dead or gone and having stood by her side, hana will offer aid to hawke for what they did for her as they try and raise funds for the expedition into the deep roads.

realizing it's been weeks since hana has been seen by anyone, from close friends, to frequent clients or her neighbors... the choices is up to hawke or another companion to either wait for her return or break into her home to search for clues. though not much can be found when trying to search her place, there are a few scattered notes laying around suggesting a meeting in darktown. however, before any investigation can start ( or if they decided to wait on her ) hana appears that very night in the hanged man, badly beaten and bruised but alive and bitter.
companion quest:hidden correspondence
though her contacts with the coeterie were very few and didn't have much sway, she had all of them keep their ears open regarding information of her childhood home. after the completion of her personal quest in act 1, the home that she grew up in was quickly claimed by the coeterie. or more specifically, brigef grarsk, someone that her uncle would occasionally work with when his hands were tied and needed a partnership.though hana had mostly combed through her uncle's things where she
had seen him last on the beaches at the bottom of sundermount, brigef had been quick to take what he deemed was his-- as her uncle owed some debt to him in the years that she had left for the alienage. though she had doubts that anything that was left was worth fighting for after hearing nothing of interest within the years since brigef had been operating in her childhood home ( combined with the fact that she never wanted to step into that house unless it was a necessity )... hana chalked it up to another loose end to her endless questions.
it isn't until three years later where one of her contacts come through with some info that strikes her curiosity. according to the contact, brigef had unearthed a hidden artifact when one of his lackeys tasked to go through old papers (previously thought of as useless personal letters, journals, etc) found hints on the artifact's location. however, they've been unable to open it as its been sealed by magic. considering the rather negative opinion her uncle had regarding magic, as most of his hateful language mirrored the chantries verbatim of monstrous abominations and the like... hana set forth to retrieve the artifact for herself, paying off her contacts well to ensure a quick and easy break in. what should have been an easy trial for the experienced rogue, turned out horribly wrong when she was betrayed and fell into a trap long time in the making. while the artifact did infact exist, though after trying countlessly for months with no avail to unlock the artifact, it was decided to use hana to forcibly unlock it as some hints to old papers suggests that her uncle obtained the artifact when she came to his life. though she genuinely doesn't know how to unlock the artifact, she keeps that information to herself and works to free herself from the cycle of interrogation and torture in order to force hana's hand. once she finally gets free and escapes darktown, she quickly finds refugee with some smugglers that she trusts explicitly in order to heal, before finally showing up at the hanged man to meet up with hawke.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ㅤthere will be a lack of a 'rival' choice in this quest, since it would simply reflect something akin to merrill's personal quest in which hawke keeps a key tool to themselves in which they have no claim over. since the object in mind is key to piecing together hana's extensive backstory and identity as a dreamer, i won't be offering a choice to essentially rob her of that experience. instead, hawke can altogether not participate to help her. while this will hinder her, she does have other people that would be willing to help her and she will recover the information and relic. helping hana will instigate + FRIENDSHIP, while telling her to solve her own problems will result in + RIVALRY.
fighting through brigef and his lackeys, hana will mostly spend the fight dueling brirgef and killing him, using his own strike to her, against him. she gets ahold of the artifact and mentions that while the party could loot the coterie warehouse, it probably won't go without notice from the thieves guild. either way, hana thanks hawke if they agreed to help her and says she owes them and will be available for them if they needed the favor returned. she also promises to share whatever information about the artifact, though at the current moment she still cannot unlock it.it's only when she returns home and falls asleep fiddling with the curious object, that she finds herself so deep in the fade that she hardly realizes she's dreaming at first. she's sitting under a large tree, sunlight peeking through the dense greenery above. several halla are at rest around her, one with its head resting on her lap... yet the scene in front of her seems so far away, as if she's watching herself from above. it's then that she notices the relic in her hands. but it feels different. her fingers move on their own accord with ease, keying through the decorated etched vines that cover the box and swirl them until one by one they lock into their respective place. but before hana can see what's finally inside the relic, she hears her name echo in the woods around her. she stands, the box dropping to her feet as she turns to the sound of the voice calling for her. somehow the voice is stern, loving and exasperated all at once.
a woman stands tall, hair stark white in cascading waves-- but what catches hana's attention are the halla antlers, white and pristine on the elven woman's head. a sense of safety and warmth like nothing she's ever known washes over her, to the point she's nearly drowning in it. to the point she feels like she's going to be sick and needs to run, run, run.... but a hand is placed over hana's head and she's rooted in place. there is nowhere else she'd rather be. the woman's mouth moves but nothing comes out, the fade wrapping around them already pushing the scene away. tears streak down hana's face before the word can properly form on her lips... calling the woman, mother.hana wakes with a start, gasping for breath, tears pouring out of her eyes... and clamors for the artifact. studying it, she notices one of the vines are locked in it's intended place while the other remain entangled. it will take months before she can get it open, having to wait weeks in between before braving to fall asleep trying to solve the puzzle once again, as her mind sears with pain when trying to work the vines too quickly. each night she manages it, another dream consumes her night. piece by piece she's given glimpses of what she can only guess is of another life, one filled with magic beyond imagination... and a family to match. though, she has to wonder how much truth are in these apparent memories, especially when she thinks back to those memories of her mother who calls herself ghilan'nain, the dalish goddess. the mother of the halla.

as hana worked the artifact open, she had originally been worried that it was actually empty. after unlocking a piece of it and unlocking a key memory-- the artifact would get lighter and lighter. while it had been an exhilarating experience to piece together the puzzle with such vivid dreams, they still left hana with more questions than answers. when hana did finally get the artifact open, there was indeed something inside: a necklace with a pendant shaped into a halla head and antlers, that she could only gather was made from halla bone... and a blank scroll that unraveled and revealed its text the moment she touched it.
intrigued hana studied the scroll the scroll in great detail before quickly realizing that it was written in ancient elven. even more curiously, she realized she could read it perfectly as she had been able to in her dreams.

sidequest
wanderer's pilgrimage
as hawke and the companions scatter, hana remains largely unknown within the free marches. hana keeps close contact with merrill for the first few years, who looked after many elves left homeless after the destruction of the city. hana would find her way to wherever merrill and the elves were staying, before taking a small group of her own to a distant settlement in the free marches where they’d be accepted. she would quietly roam around the outskirts of these villages and towns, making sure the elves' transition went smoothly and without incident. as the years went by, hana found herself traveling further and further away from kirkwall, doing odd jobs to keep herself afloat and lending a hand wherever she went. without a home and so far away from everyone she loved, she wandered without a goal and wondered if there was any purpose to anything that happened in the last few years. especially if it meant that she would be alone all over again.
though, as fate would have it, hana would gain some companions of her own. throughout her travels she would run into an old contact, an ex-smuggler that she occasionally worked with in kirkwall. not too long later they would meet a dalish elf, living without a clan and alone in a small village. while teaming up together was originally purely a beneficial circumstance, the trio found that the company with each other was something they all desired, as well as trying to do some good for the world.
hana would also keep contact with varric, sending her friend letters of her journey’s while getting news of kirkwall in return. though eventually, her letters would go unanswered for far too long that hana knew something was amiss. with the help of her new companions the three of them set to kirkwall for the first time in three years. with some quiet investigating, she realizes varric is imprisoned and being interrogated. intrigued and concerned, hana plans to make the trip across the waking sea to ferelden. temporarily saying goodbye to her new friends, hana promises to return once the conclave is finished, hopefully with varric in tow. intent on breaking varric free, hana infiltrates the conclave at haven only to stumble upon the cries of the divine while exploring the temple of sacred ashes. it would be three days later before she awoke in the chantry dungeon as the sole survivor of the attack on the conclave.
THE WRATH OF HEAVEN. ㅤ when hana wakes, panic is riddled with confusion. she doesn’t know where she is, the seeker is demanding a reason to keep her alive– and at first hana thinks they’re talking about kirkwall because she can’t believe something so terrible could happen again. but it has. the seeker pulls at her fade touched hand and hana suppresses the grimace as something deep underneath the skin of her palm burns. there's a fire settled there, threatening to consume her, and in that instance she knows that the mark has the power to shake the whole world. so, she willingly follows the path up the mountain, hoping that she has the power to piece the sky back together again. the dark ash still lingers in the air and the villagers stares pierce arrows into her skin the entire way, forcing her walls pulled up even higher. afterall, she nearly scoffed at the promise of a trial. whether she can save the world or not, hana isn’t sure that would be enough to save her.
then she finally sees it. the remains of the temple of sacred ashes. bodies littered all around, stilled forever in their last moments of sheer agony. her feet stutter & her hand aches, all devouring. it isn't any better further in the temple, red lyrium hums in the air and a voice permeates the halls from the fade. the voice taunting, demanding, and everytime hana thinks it feels familiar, that it's all finally coming back together... the threads slip from her grasp. even the image of divine justinia, restrained and utterly hopeless, calling on her for help ... leaves her with more questions than answers. with frustration armed in her closed fists, hana is left with one option: closing the breach.
THE THREAT REMAINS. ㅤ when hana wakes again and makes the cautious descent through the village of haven, wrapped around whispers of prophecy and destiny... she sours quickly, snaps back in the confines of the war room in the chantry. the people revere her as the herald of andraste, the leader of the faithful... as if they aren't directly denounced by the chantry itself.she is not ignorant. she recognizes the role of the title. it becomes a symbol for many to entrust their hope and the fire of its power spreads faster than she can denounce it. while she never once claims to be andraste's chosen, the tale grows as she performs miracle after miracle under the banner of the inquisition. after traveling to the hinterlands and establishing control over the region for the refugees displaced by the war & the breach, the inquisition travels to val in hopes of establishing contact with the chantry. if you asked her, hana agreed with their spymaster. too fresh is the clerk's and seeker's demand for her execution when the breach grew in the sky. still, if the trip solidified the chantry's drive against them, hana decided it was worth the risk to nip the constant back and forth in the war councils in the bud once and for all. though, she gets more than she bargained for. the templars abandon their post at the white spire, the mothers are left humiliated and grand enchanter fiona proposes a meeting between the inquisition and rebel mages. it's a relief when the rebel mages have reached out to them, especially when it seems ridiculous to her that the rebel mages would risk their sanctuary at redcliffe. nevertheless, the forefront of her thoughts turn to the lord seeker. she can’t forget kirkwall. she would get their alliance with the mages, but won’t leave the templars unchecked.
MAJOR CANON DIVERGENCE: as venatori mages slowly infiltrate redcliffe spreading whispers of an alliance with the tevinter imperium, a portion of mages indenture themselves into the venatori ranks while fiona & most of the southern rebel mages ridicule the thought of an alliance with tevinter. opting to gain control of the castle and the grand enchanter, magister alexius and the venatori uses blood magic against fiona in order to coerce the mages into slavery. underestimating the skill and experience of the grand enchanter, their plans fail as fiona resists against the magic. the use of blood magic within the castle walls pulls arl teagan as his men into action alongside the rebellion to expel the tevinter mages. while they hold onto their position against the small group of venatori, they know it won't be enough when the reinforcements arrive. when hana and her party arrive at redcliffe, fiona and the inquisition are able to realize that something strange is going on as fiona doesn't remember the invitation she gave at val royeaux. as they try to figure out what had happened, dorian pavus reveals himself in redcliffe in order to speak to the herald of andraste. quickly filling in on the current situation, dorian reveals that alexius is growing reckless with the absolute failure of their plan and is determined to start over completely, going back days in the past and ensuring their success by killing both the grand enchanter and the herald. they formulate a plan to ensure alexius defeat as felix secures the amulet while the inquisition, arl teagen's men, and the rebel mages descend towards the battle lines. magister gereon alexius is subsequently defeated without the use of his time magic and imprisoned at haven while an alliance is struck with the rebel mages.
CHAMPIONS OF THE JUST. ㅤ with the rebel mages, the bannorn and the inquisition forces repressing the venatori with a quick strike, hana knows that is not the last they'll hear from the venatori. however, the alliance is secured quickly with the rebel mages. while hana was traveling to redcliffe, under her order josephine montilyet arranged a meeting with various houses of the orlesian nobility to force the templar's hands at their new base in therinfal redoubt. with hana’s experiences in kirkwall, an alliance with the templars was never an option but their irregular activities in val royeaux made her too nervous to leave them be. instead of the majority of the templar order being at therinfal redoubt, as it would make concealing the effects of red lyrium to the other templars too difficult, only a small fraction under the supervision of the ‘lord seeker’ at the fortress. the majority of the knight commanders and templars have already been infected with red lyrium and are led by samson and the elder one elsewhere.
as the inquisition prepares to accommodate enough resources for the mages and the herald to close the breach, hana travels to therinfal redoubt to meet the nobility. there, she's informed of the drastic change of the lord seeker, who once barely acknowledged her by suddenly demanding to meet her by name. while wary of the sudden ritual, hana stands at the choices in front of her, raising the people's banner to the highest point and leaving both templar and andraste banners untouched. when the templars show their true intentions, and hana’s within the grasp of the envy demon, she accepts cole's help graciously and together overwhelms the demon out of her head. with envy defeated, the small remaining band of templars looked to her for guidance. hana declared the templar order officially disbanded, and those few templars joined the inquisition as soldiers, leaving their ranks and titles from the order behind.
IN YOUR HEART SHALL BURN. ㅤ back at haven, with the small numbers of templars in tow, hana and the rebel mages make for the temple to close the breach for good. with enough magic poured into her mark, the sky, while scarred, finally healed from the giant rift in the sky. with elation from the entire camp, a small celebration ensued– only to be interrupted with an attack.
MAJOR CANON DIVERGENCE: when the forces headed for haven appear, they are lead jointly with samson and calpernia. the elder one's identity as corypheus at this point still remains elusive, however they identify that the elder one is indeed their leader. while samson remains largely as a military leader and commanding the forces of red templars, the massive losses with the inquisitions' trebuchets' has him preoccupied. it's calpernia who is explicitly corypheus' vessel and goes after the powers of the anchor. with the elven orb and the red lyrium dragon, calpernia separates the herald from the rest of the party before the last trebutche is launched. calpernia recognizing hana's unique fade energy, uses the red lyruim dragon to restrain hana while attempting to remove the anchor. within the jaw of the dragon and severely injured, the mark of the rift ability unlocks in her desperation and as a byproduct, her magical abilities (while previously restricted to dreaming) manifests physically, exposing her as a mage.
as the explosive magic free's hana, she releases the last trebuchet securing the safety of the inquisition. while unconscious in the tunnels below haven, the fade momentarily clears, showing only a glimpse of corypheus restraining the divine– as a result of her newfound magic wrestling the control of the nightmare demon, though it quickly fades away. however, having been one of hawke's companions and having some knowledge of corypheus in the past, it's enough for hana to get the inquisition to investigate the warden prison to get answers. due to her extensive injuries, she barely makes it out of the blizzard alive.following solas’ advice, they lead the inquisition to skyhold where the council appoints hana as their inquisitor. while initially agitated about the public display of their decision to have her lead them, hana easily masks her disdain and rallies with the people, declaring that the inquisition will always stand for what’s right.
WICKED EYES & WICKED HEARTS. ㅤ while investigating the templar order in therinfal redoubt, a troubling plot was unveiled… the murder of empress celene and the fall of the orlesian empire. though hana held no love for the empire, and often held ill will to it’s nobility– there was no denying that the fall of the empire couldn’t happen while corypheus was still at large. after investigating the warden prisons once again and leading operations into orlais, the inquisition secures and invitation to the peace talks held at the winter palace. having once played the game, hana easily manages to charm the court in halamshiral while thoroughly investigating what is going on behind the scenes.
MAJOR CANON DIVERGENCE: as hana nature as a rogue and her experience with the nobility, little shocks her at the winter palace and hana is able to expose all the secrets hidden within. however, this comes at a cost. when florianne reveals herself as the elder ones agent, the party has to fight tooth and nail to get back to the ballroom as there's no conveniently placed rift to exploit. pushing their way through, the group is only able to burst into the ballroom as florianne has celene in her grasp. before hana can even pull her bow back to cast her shots to florianne, the empress is stabbed and killed. hana’s completion of gathering every piece of information leads her without a choice in the matter.even with celene and florianne dead, corypheus hadn’t won the day. his plan was to leave orlais in shambles but instead they were left with an opportunity to finally see justice and change in orlais. the inquisition pledged it’s
support of briala, blackmailing gaspard into submission. with the inquisition’s help in securing her place in orlesian politics, briala lent her support to the inquisition in turn.MAJOR CANON DIVERGENCE: bioware's poor attempt to equate briala on the same level as celene and gaspard is laughable as it diminishes important plot points from the masked empire. briala has been abused and manipulated by both parties and her efforts of helping the elves in orlais shouldn’t be discounted because of an abusive relationship she had with celene. remember that a thousand elves have been killed because of the actions of gaspard and celene feuding for the throne. the narrative that briala sent an elven spy to die in florianne's old room doesn’t make sense when considering that briala went back for her agents previously. that specific spy and scene is no longer canon in this worldstate.
HERE LIES THE ABYSS. ㅤ since investigating the warden prison with hawke and exiled warden commander tabris of ferelden prior to the gathering at the winter palace, the heroes find their next directive at the western approach to investigate the warden’s involvement with corypheus.IMPORTANT NOTE:
this quest is highly flexible when writing with hawke's and warden contacts. i really enjoy giving autonomy to other characters and exploring different outcomes when it comes to this quest. my canon regards my hero of ferelden evadne tabris @martryriess, as she is apart of hana’s world state. in this world-state, alistair is king of ferelden and nathaniel howe is evadne’s warden constable.instead of meeting a singular warden who rebelled against clarel in crestwood, a handful of wardens are operating under evadne tabris after being pushed out of vigil's keep by clarel and the numbers of the orlesian wardens. nathaniel vouches for hawke and the inquisitor into a meeting with the fabled hero of ferelden. the quest follows canon into the western approach and then to adamant fortress. nathaniel howe and hawke fall into the fade with hana and her party as evadne rallies the remaining wardens to defeat the demons and hold peace with the inquisition.
through traversing the fade and encountering the nightmare demon and a spirit masquerading as divine justinia, hana’s stolen memories come back to light and she comes to the devastating realization that the grey wardens helped orchestrate the destruction at the conclave. while hana will never ask hawke to stay behind in the fade, if that’s the fate they choose, she will eventually leave them behind so their sacrifice is not in vain. if no such offer is made, hana will make a quick argument that she could stay behind and find a way out– only to be refuted and regretfully choose the warden contact to fight the nightmare demon.MAJOR CANON DIVERGENCE: reinstated as warden commander tabris of ferelden, hana leaves the grey warden's fate to her ally. evadne and nathaniel agree to lend help to the inquisition on matters regarding darkspawn and research into corypheus, while heading back to vigil’s keep to access the remaining wardens there. evadne acts as an unofficial advisor to the inquisition, especially in regards to the events of the descent dlc, as she follows as an extra companion as trouble in the deeproads could mean trouble for them all. for narrative purposes, sit in judgement options or war table operations involving the wardens are available for hana with this agreement with warden commander tabris, however the grey wardens still remain as an independent organization and not dissolved into the inquisition.
WHAT PRIDE HAD WROUGHT. ㅤ with corypheus’ failure after failure in turning the tide in the war, he’s become desperate and reports have come in that the red templars are wreaking havoc in the abhor wilds, though no one but the newly appointed arcane liaison can tell why. hidden in the wilds lies some elven ruins and morrigan suspects that an eluvian is hidden there and corypheus seeks to obtain it. as hana questions morrigan’s knowledge of the eluvians, morrigan shows hana a different eluvian that she found during her travels with the resources of being empress celene’s arcane advisor. however, the mirror remains dark as the key remains elusive.MAJOR CANON DIVERGENCE: with the growing importance that eluvians play, hana sends a letter to an old friend who has researched eluvians for years. merrill arrives at skyhold and works together with morrigan to open the eluvian currently residing at skyhold, taking the three of them to the crossroads. realizing that while the crossroads isn’t exactly the fade, it remains very close to it– which is why corypheus is trying to get his hands on it.with haste, the inquisition marches for the arbor wilds in the dales, still meeting opposition of red templars and corrupted grey wardens before arriving at the
temple of mythal. merrill and morrigan both join the inquisitor and her party into the temple, both providing insight to what lies within the temple. while the information is helpful, especially to the other companions in the party, hana provides her own unique insight as well. as the daughter of ghilan’nain and having years to shift through old memories of her past, she isn’t nearly out of the loop as the game mechanics suggest and actually reads the elven script out loud before morrigan can withhold the information.before the party can get far into the temple however, corypheus is finally physically revealed to the inquisition– confirming their suspicions and tricks to his supposed immorality by taking over the body of any blighted creature by exposing the horrific transformation before their eyes. once finally defeating samson once and for all, with a rune that leaves his red lyrium armor useless; hana also reveals proof to calpernia that she had never been corypheus’ equal and that he always intended to bind her mind when he obtained godhood.once completing the elven rituals to enter the temple, hana allies with the sentinels and is granted passage through the temple to the fabled well of sorrows. the journey is full of melancholy as her eyes scan for a specific mural of an elf riding a halla– lingering there for just a moment before knowing they have to move forward. finally, they’re granted the well with three options and hana urges merrill to drink when she expresses her willingness has always been constant and always been for present day elves to feel connected through culture and history. once merrill drinks from the well, the eluvian unlocks and the inquisition escapes through it in the nick of time, foiling corypheus' plans once again.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ㅤthis canon divergence was originally created by lydia @dalishious who kindly gave me permission to use it in my writing! please check out their blog for more interesting meta’s and analysis of dragon age lore :)
DOOM UPON ALL THE WORLD. ㅤ the return to skyhold from the abhor wilds is a journey with raised spirits. the inquisition has essentially pushed corypheus into a corner, unveiling all his secrets and disrupting his carefully laid out plans. as a war council meeting is commenced discussing possible plans of action, the ground beneath them shakes, knocking them all off their feet. in a last ditch effort, corypheus strikes against skyhold with every inch of his power. though in the end, corypheus was defeated, but at a great cost to skyhold and its forces. the immediate response is relief efforts to those who've given their support to the inquisition. over the next two years, while the inquisition continues to aid in the rippling effects of corypheus' influence--
most of the inquisition's efforts are in aiding the displaced people of thedas and strengthening the college of enchanters. the inquisition plays a large part in reuniting mages with their families all over thedas and supporting those who strive to build a strong foundation for the college. while thoroughly denouncing any ties to the chantry during the height of the inquisition, hana lends her support and encouragement to leliana as she’s named divine victoria. hana also empathizes on downsizing the inquisition slowly, following the defeat of corypheus– making sure that everyone who uprooted their lives to serve the inquisition will have work and a home waiting for them once the inquisition finally disbands, whenever that will be.

trivia guide
welcome to a helpful guide of notes that you can quickly refer to if you need a refresh on some important aspects of hana's character. more info will be added as i see fit. if you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask!
dragon age ii.
· ㅤit's not until da2 that hana slowly realize that she is a dreamer / mage. while her eyes are a good indicator of her magic, she does insist that they're blue and they do start to look more blue than purple when questioned. either way, hana has very little connection to magic outside of dreams at this point and unless we've plotted something out, nearly no one knows she's a mage.· ㅤover the course of da2 hana begins to uncover that her birth was part of a blood magic ritual that her mother, jia yu'kang preformed in a deal to merge with a spirit of learning. in order for jia to pursue her passions of uncovering secrets of thedas, jia leaves hana in her brother's hwan's care. she pays him in a decent sum of gold that comes every other month like clockwork if he keeps hana alive and in his care. using powerful blood magic, jia curses hwan that if he were to ever abandon hana, he would die.· ㅤthe reason the blood ritual to bring hana back to life is preformed is because the spirit that had been tasked by ghilan'nain to always look after hana, had started to shatter. first, the spirit split into a spirit of learning and duty. together, they watched over hana's soul in a remote corner of the fade where they were able to keep her from becoming overwhelmed and corrupted. but as the spirit of duty was slowly losing its personhood overtime and jia stumbled across them in her dreams in the fade, a deal was struck to safely perserve hana's soul. while jia might've brought hana back into the physical world, she still considers ghilan'nain her mother.· ㅤhana embodies a lot empathy and gentleness, however that doesn't negate her constant struggle with depression. kindness and community are things she craves, but can be equally overwhelming. there's a lot of anxiety for her in regards of friendships since she is frightened over the idea of saying the wrong thing. if you're looking for a sunshine character that's always uplifting, you won't find that here. a lot of hana's actions of kindness are usually muddled with melancholy and i make that quite evident.· ㅤto emphasis the point above, hana has experienced a lot of abuse and is working through that trauma. it's a slow process that is not linear in the slightest. her typical response to anger and confrontation is fear and she has a tendency towards flight than fight. however, push her enough and she'll easily show you the reason why she pushes her anger down.· ㅤthough more typically aligned as chaotic good, hana has a rather firm sense of righteousness. there is a lot of room for grey zones in her perspective but there are clear lines that she believes shouldn't be crossed and will seek out justice according to her judgement. yes, this does seem hypocritical because it supposed to.
.
· ㅤthe way i visualize kirkwall's alienage comes from my personal background and i take a lot inspiration on korean ( particularly, jeju-do ) culture. it's true the elves struggle, but the alienage is a reflection of it's community. i will describe the alienage as very colorful and full of little kids going back and forth from homes with food dishes their parents sent them on errands to share with their neighbors. a lot of coastal lifestyle references will be made as well.· ㅤhana is fairly well known and recognized in kirkwall, both within the usual sphere of people around hightown and amongst the alienage as she is still considered a relatively new addition with a rather peculiar, unknown history. she has recieved a very warm welcoming from many in the alienage, especially when she shows her warmth towards the children and her willingness to babysit when families need help. however, her reluctance in talking about her past (even to the hahren) has made others suspicious, especially considering her assumed freedom and success with kirkwall's nobility.· ㅤbecause hana is often recognized, she makes sure her appearance is rather obscured at all times when operating in kirkwall's criminal spheres / with hawke. it's difficult to make out her shape, especially with her cloak. a secured hood and mask also hide her identity as an elf. she goes so far to getting custom made boots that give her a few inches of height. don't presume that you can connect her two identities together, especially in earlier acts where hana takes great lengths to ensure that she won't get caught (ofc with the exception to hawke and companions).· ㅤthe timeline leading up to act 3 however, becomes progressively tricky. hana becomes increasingly fed up with kirkwall's nobility and their insistence to turn a blind eye to kirkwall's problems. by act 3 she stops performing in hightown all together and slowly peels back the layers that disguises her when working with hawke. she lets people see more of her, from throwing off the hood and wearing regular boots... to finally discarding her mask once and for all.· ㅤwith the rebellion came the consequences, which she readily expected. by the end of act 3, her involvement with hawke lays open the floodgates of connecting the dots of her other crimes and hana is forced to flee kirkwall. she doesn't regret her actions but will not let them hang her for humiliating the nobility. it isn't till years later when she suspects that varric is in trouble when he stops responding to her letters, does hana return to the city again. while there has been a lot of horrible memories of kirkwall and she is the first to admit how much the city leads people to desperation-- it's also her home. after being away for the first time, she realizes just how homesick kirkwall can make her feel.
dragon age inquisition.
· ㅤmy timeline for inquisition, follows the generally fandom accepted timeline that the main events of inquisition took around three years, instead of one. by trespasser, the inquisition has been running for five years in total. i know this will heavily affect the timeline for events post trespasser/da4, but this makes the most sense for me in order for the inquisition to have the pull the game suggests.· ㅤonly the advisors would clearly know who hana is in relation to the events of da2, though with varying degrees of the complete, truthful narrative. cassandra and leliana will have whatever info previously narrated by varric during the interrogation, though they can only guess how truthful that intel is. cullen could potentially have more or less knowledge, but relatively should at least recognize her.· ㅤhana is an extremely skilled archer and rogue, focusing more on the stealth and evasion skills of the class. she knows her strengths and excel at them to the point of admiration and doesn't needlessly take risks that would overwhelm her. don't downplay her prowess as a rogue, because there are few that match her ability.· ㅤon the flip side, her skills with magic are mostly new and need a lot of practice and guidance. because of this, she rarely uses offensive spells in combat. feel free to have some interesting conversations on how the inquisitor being revealed as a baby mage and struggles with understanding her mana at the age of 35, but at your own risk. what hana lacks in practice with tangible magic, she's had plenty experience over the fade as a dreamer.· ㅤto reiterate, while relatively friendly to the inner circle as a whole-- do not assume hana would act as the game mechanics would suggest. in order to have a real long lasting, solid friendship with hana there needs to be growth on both sides regarding various topics that arise in game. just as hana needs to gain approval with her companions to have that relationship, they need to gain approval from her as many of their stances will sour her perspective if not discussed upon further.
verses
dc & marvel
since she was a child, hana exhibited supernatural abilities. she had the power of intangibility, or the ability to phase through matter. as her mother was a scientist herself, she began researching hana’s abilities on her own, knowing if the wrong people found out about hana’s powers, that she would be in danger. though her mother would put her
trust in the wrong person while trying to get some insight from outside her field of expertise and hana would eventually be taken from her to be experimented on and researched, to essentially be a weapon. all records of hana’s existence was wiped while her mother ostracized and discredited worldwide. ( still under co. )
barely a few years old near the end of the clone wars, hana was discovered by the jedi order as a force user and was going to be brought to the jedi temple on coruscant for training. as a jedi master and their padawan arrived to her homeworld to begin her journey as a jedi, they were caught under attack by the clone troopers by the command of order 66. the jedi master would give his life for the safety of his padawan and hana,
star wars
the youngling. though, eventually the troopers would catch up to them and the padawan would also meet her end for hana’s safety. ( still under co. )
GAWAIN HAWKE.
@APOGEANED , MAIN SHIP.
hana can't quite recall when she first started having such vivid dreams, in her earliest memories it seemed like she's already been dreaming for as long as she could remember. it wasn't till she encountered her first demon at the age of ten did she suspect there was some merit to her uncle's distain of her presence. nevertheless, dreaming had always been more of less a safe haven for her. it was in her dreams where she first met gawain hawke. though at the time she had thought he was merely a kind
spirit, passing time with her under a wolf's mask. as she grew, the spirit had been both her most treasured friend and occasional confidant. as she never had friends before, hana kept most of the more cruel details of her life relatively private-- as she didn't want to taint their dream space with the brunt of her reality. it wouldn't be till years later, much into their adulthood, where hana & gawain would meet in person when the hawke family fled ferelden to kirkwall.
a victim of kidnapping during the events of magistrate's orders, hana would periodically check in on the girl and her father after the event. while going through the slow process of healing from the event, lia's father would talk to hana privately expressing concern for his daughter. she had grown relatively restless and anxious and wondered if learning to protect herself would help her mental state. while hana had been relatively unsure about
lia
CANON NPC , MENTEE.
FC: KIM ADIS.
training someone, considering the rigirous and painful process of her personal experience... when lia brought up the idea on her own, asking hana to train her at least in some basic self defense, hana agreed to take the girl under her wing. what started off as some camping trips into the mountains, became consistent training sessions. it wouldn't take long before lia became like a little sister to hana, whom she was highly protective of and loved dearly. lia is twenty - four years old as of 9:41 dragon.
IRIS SUAREZ.
NPC , ADOPTED DAUGHTER.
an orphan elven mage from the montsimmard circle of magi. iris traveled with a group of mages to redcliffe as the mage rebellion was officially declared. residing at skyhold with the inquisition's alliance with the rebel mages, iris caught hana's eye when the young girl had snuck away from the rest of the mages late one night to draw amidst the garden. as hana didn't have the heart to send the little girl off, she sat and kept iris company. this pattern would continue for months, whenever hana would return to skyhold and rest
at the gardens, late the night of her arrival. eventually, the inquisition would notice that the inquisitor had a tail as iris would follow hana around like a little duckling whenever she wasn't chased down by the mages. while hana would look extensively for any family members iris might have, their searches showed that iris indeed had no other family. hana would officially adopt her after the defeat of corypheus. iris suarez is seven years old as of 9:41 dragon.
an orphan human from crestwood, born right before the blight. recee's parents were of those who were blighted & drowned, though he was cared for by a sister of crestwood's chantry over the years. when the inquisition established their presence in crestwood, recee tried to pickpocket the inquisitor herself in order to get enough coin to find a way out of crestwood. while he was quickly caught in the act, hana offered to give the boy a ride to skyhold-- assuring him that he would be safe and didn't have to be overseen by
RECEE SONG.
NPC , ADOPTED SON.
the chantry. hana would officially adopted him after the defeat of corypheus. recee song is eleven years old as of 9:41 dragon.
