Does your OC collect anything? What do they collect?

She doesn’t really collect anything, no. Efari is a very practical person, and the generally nomadic lifestyle of the Dalish means that she doesn’t really have a lot of things. The more things you have, the more you have to lug around with you, and so she doesn’t really keep hold of anything she can’t use. She has a handful of sentimental items, but otherwise the only thing she has in bulk is flasks for her tempest potions.

Do you have a faceclaim / voiceclaim for your OC?

I do not, but this is mostly because if I go down the rabbit hole of trying to find one I will never get back out.

What kind of nervous habits do they have? Do they stim? Do they have any kinds of addictions?

Imagining Efari as nervous is actually kind of hilarious to me at this point. She does stim, though. She is basically incapable of sitting still and so she will twitch her her leg or play with something in her hands. She’s a fidgeter, and so she fidgets constantly. To anyone easily distracted, it can be very frustrating to be in a room with her, because she just constantly has to be moving in some way to release some energy.

What is your OC’s favorite color?

Efari likes bright colours, teals and blues and greens mostly, but also purples. She also has a fondness for yellows and oranges.

Salroka, meanwhile, likes Earthy and darker tones. Greens and browns and deep reds and oranges.

What is your OC’s first memory?

Efari’s first memory is stepping on a frog. She was maybe four or five, and the frog let out the most heartbreaking noise she’s ever heard to this day. It was the first thing Efari ever killed, and her parents had no patience for her crying of this squashed frog and tried to hurry her along, but Efari has remembered the poor frog and its fate always.

Salroka’s first memory is of her fifth birthday. Her dad gifted her the first bow she ever had, and she still has it, not that she’d admit to anyone else something so sentimental. He taught her how to shoot, taught her everything he knows, and that bow was the first step into her being the archer she is now.

What’s your OC’s favorite animal? Least favorite?

Efari loves dragons. Adores them. She recognises that they’re dangerous, but she finds a special kind of beauty in their ferocity. She loves dragon hunting, and goes often. She’s also fond of otters and dolphins - excitable, curious creatures, much like herself.

The only animals she actively dislikes are mosquitoes, because she gets bitten a lot.

Salroka likes...angry things, like her. Dangerous animals. If she were to have a pet, she’d want it to be something like a snake or a scorpion, something venomous and scary to others.

She dislikes small fluffy things, as a rule. Generally, small fluffy things don’t like her and her death stare, either.

If they could have one thing in the world, what would it be?

For Efari it would be, without a shadow of a doubt, having Mihva back. She knows it isn’t possible, but if she could get her best friend back with no negative repercussions? She’d do it in a heart beat. Efari misses Mihva more dearly than she ever thought it possible to miss anything.

For Salroka, some well deserved peace and quiet. Doesn’t matter at what point in her life it is, the answer is always well deserved peace and quiet.

35. How is your character’s imagination? Daydreaming a lot? Worried most of the time? Living in memories? -- either Efari or Salroka, your choice!

Efari doesn’t really worry about very much. She just kind of rolls with the punches and gets on with it, but she does had a lot of memories that are very dear to her that she thinks about a lot. In fact, her biggest fear is losing her mind and forgetting the people she cares about, and so after her trip to the Fade, she writes down everything that is important to her so that she has a record of it. The result is papers scattered all over, covered in Efari’s messy scrawl, but she has this need to have it all written down somewhere in case she forgets.

But otherwise, she doesn’t really daydream. Despite her...everything, she is actually a very practical person, and doesn’t really daydream either. She occupies her time with practical things - well, sometimes - because honestly if she’s left with only her own thoughts, she’d probably go insane.

Salroka is even less imaginative and worried than Efari. Salroka worries about nothing and no one, and doesn’t put much value in imagination or stories. She also doesn’t really want to live in any of her memories, and she spends her spare time also doing practical things, things she can use her hands for.

That, and complaining that she hates people.

BIRB! OC ask for Efari: What are your OC’s hobbies?

What are your OC’s hobbies?

Does…does flirting count? Because if it does, then definitely flirting. Efari will flirt with pretty much anyone, at any time, at any place. Even - and especially - when it is not appropriate to do so. At this point, it’s kind of just something she does, and she flirts with everyone she meets.

She does like to hunt dragons. She goes out regularly with Bull to hunt them, and they often come back covered in dragon dung as they had to “hide their scent”. Their shared love of dragons is a huge part of their friendship, honestly, and it’s something that no one else really does with them anyone because the two of them get a little intense about it.

She did also ask Harritt to teach her how to make weapons when they were snowed into Skyhold once. She can’t stand being bored and doing nothing, and so she found a way to occupy herself. She only ever wanted to learn to make daggers, and she’s never as good at it as someone who trained for years, but she tries.

Efari takes a lot of care with the Tempest potions, too. She likes to try and come up with unusual uses for them, as well as forever trying to come up with new ones. So far, none of them have worked, but it keeps her occupied if nothing else.

If she’d ever bored, she tends to teach herself tricks with her daggers. She can juggle them, and she also enjoys spinning them like batons. Mostly, she likes the horrified look on people’s faces when she does it, like she’s going to hurt herself. She’d never done so yet.
