She clears her throat at the top of the steps, hands clasped in front of her and blinking like she just stepped out of a bad dream.

“Leliana.” It sounds like the start to an awkward conversation, and it is, but maybe not for the usual reasons. “How much….do you like nugs.”

She lets it hang in the air for a moment before adding, “I’m being perfectly serious.”

Someone yells in the courtyard, followed by a crash and some colorful swearing. She winces.

“ —Listen, I have a big nug problem and it’s trying to gore the stablehands. I think I made a mistake.”

“A...nug problem?” Whatever the story behind this was, she was sure it had to be interesting to bring the young inquisitor to her in such a panic. 

Her eyebrow raises in suspicion as she hears a telltale crash followed by what can only be men chasing after the aforementioned nugs.

“This sounds urgent. Maybe you can explain how this happened on the way down?” The sister suggested as she started heading towards the stairs leading to the main hall, not really waiting for her guest to follow her.

Send me a ✗ to hear about a physical scar my character has.

A thick, jagged scar marred the otherwise unbroken skin of Leliana’s torso. It was left there years ago by a large knife almost like a cleaver being shoved through her armor and deep inside of her. The skin around it is discolored and puckered and the scar is rough and ugly, a prominent reminder of the night the she had been betrayed by her bardmaster. 

Occasionally she still finds her fingers straying to the scar when she is lost in her brooding. The rough feeling under her fingertips isn’t enough to distract her from her thoughts, but sometimes it has the unfortunate effect of turning them to the people she’s lost and found along her way.

Send me a ✧ to hear about an emotional/mental scar.

Marjolaine was the best and worst thing to have ever happened to Leliana. She taught her everything she knows about being a bard, a fighter, and a spy. She instilled in her a habit of keeping knives on her at all times, and later a sense of paranoia that ensured she kept that habit. Sharp eyes analyzed environments both new and old any time she entered them, searching and cataloging everything and everyone mentally. 

The inability to trust the people around her is a long lasting effect of the betrayal of the woman she once trusted most, and it still effects her relationships with other people even as she goes on later in life as the illustrious spymaster she has become.

       Another bias list that is well needed and I know I ramble a lot, so let’s keep this somewhat short. I made this account roughly around March, about eight months ago, and I never expected all that I have on this account. I have received nothing but a positive feedback, I have met wonderful people, I have been able to share my love for Sera and dig deeper into her character. There has been ups and downs, but who doesn’t have them? I’m just happy I’ve stuck around and never did I ever expect close to 1,400 follows, never, never. I sometimes still look at it and just wonder what I’m doing or if I deserve it. And,  maybe I shouldn’t be so hard on myself! Just, long story short, thank you all for who have stuck with me, getting to know me, helped me, wrote with me, everything. You’re all so lovely and I mean everything that I say when I say how much I appreciate you all. Thank you and I hope for more months ahead.

       Below is in no order. Not in alphabetical order - I’m lazy. All are people I admire, people I write with, people I wish to write with - just the word that is wonderful and I highly suggest them all. Give them a look! And, if you’re not on here PLEASE don’t take offense, I may of forgotten someone & I might of put some on here twice - whoops.

She was here to take refuge under the watchful gaze of the Maker’s wife. To find some semblance of peace more than she’s been getting.

(The Maker works in mysterious ways it would seem)

Sheena had bee carefully turning corners and hiding in the shadows from the Spymaster, but finally she’s been made and she lets out a heaving sigh, stepping forward, cover blown, but her hood still raised enough to obscure her face.And she kneels to the woman in front of her, removing the bow from her back and sliding it across the stone ground towards the other, daggers in her belt and boots following.

Image

“Leliana please put that away before you do anything else old friend”

“Old friend? Who are you to call me a friend?” 

Image

All of her training as a bard and a spy had her defenses on full alert, the grip on her dagger handle only tightening. Her keen eyes narrowed at the strange figure in the darkness. The hood obscured any identifying features, and despite the pull of familiarity that came from a place she couldn’t place, the voice was just as strange to her. Her reflexes caused her to act before she could register that she was kicking the surrendered weapons further away, an old tactic.

NO SWORD, NO ARMY, NO KING WILL EVER BE MORE POWERFUL THAN A SENTENCE. swords may cut & kill, but words will STAB & STAY, bury themselves in our bones & become corpses we carry into the future, all the time, digging & failing to RIP THEIR SKELETONS from our skin

KISS MEME ;; accepting5. Firm Kiss

There’s blood. On her armour, stained into the cloth she wears tightly under the hardened metal. From her, from the bandits, from the demons. It all bleeds together, runs and stains and covers her. There will always be more blood, will always be more death, will always be more.

There’s blood that rushes from her side, blood that spills from an open wound, and blood that comes up out of her mouth and into the face of her enemy. Cassandra would rather spit the blood into his face than let him see her grovel. Blood stains her teeth, and she stumbles, staggers, and strikes, hard and fast and with deadly force. But he’s faster, flipping from her blade’s path and vanishing. 

Maker guide my hand.
