Relationships

Family

Bann Carthach Trevelyan: "My father is ... everything you would expect from a Free Marches noble. Religious, stern, traditionalist, but not without kindness. Not very excited about having a mage for a daughter, though. I can understand that, but that does not make it hurt any less."

Brianna Trevelyan: "Rumor is that my mother had an affair with an apostate - which I am the result of. True or not, my mother was certainly eager to have me out of the way once my magic showed - to protect her reputation, one way or another."

Garrett Trevelyan: "We had visiting days in the Ostwick Circle, you know. My parents rarely showed up... once a year, maybe? But Garrett, he was always there, even when my parents had tried to talk him out of it. He is my brother and my best friend, and I will not forget the kindness he had for me when no one else had."

Bevan Trevelyan: "Bevan had already joined the templars when my magic showed. They relocated him to Tantervale to avoid having us in the same Circle. After that, we didn't talk for years. We had meant to meet at the Conclave, but he didn't make it in time. In hindsight, I am glad about that."

extended family: "My family is very large. My parents have three siblings each, and most of them have multiple children of their own. Not to start with the second cousind and the likes. To be honest, I'm not close to any of them. Being the only mage in a very religious family is somewhat isolating."

Advisors and Companions

Cullen: "Well... he's my husband. That should tell you enough, I think - no? Well, uhm ... I love him. I'm not particularly happy that this war - and everything that came after - had to happen, but - without it, I might have missed out on the greatest person in my life. The Maker's sense of humor - in more ways than one."

Josephine: "People often underestimate Josephine's impact in the Inquisition ... I think it's because she is always so polite. Without her, I would probably have been murdered for my manners at Celene's ball. Maker, that was awful. I still don't understand how she can enjoy that kind of thing, but I'm sure thankful she does."

Leliana: "I am grateful to call Leliana - or Divine Victoria, that is - a friend of mine. The Chantry was in dire need of change, and if anyone can manage to make that happen, it's her, I trust in that. Leliana led the Inquisition to victory - there is no reason to doubt she will master her next challenge, too."

Morrigan: "I'm getting a bit tired of people telling me not to trust Morrigan over and over. Have we all forgotten already that she helped ending the Blight? Will I regret leaving the Well of Sorrows to her? Maybe. Maybe I'll be grateful I did. No way to know, so no point in losing sleep over it."

Dorian: "It's so sad to see how many people think badly of Dorian, based on nothing but the fact that he is from Tevinter. But, you know, when I'd say that to him, he probably would just say 'Their loss' and smile about it. I admire this kind of bravery in him and I don't care what people say, either - he is one of my best friends."

Vivienne: "Vivienne is an ... interesting person. Very determined and, uhm, ambitious. Sadly, our ideals did not align at all, and I feel that Vivienne might have miscalculated just how much influence she'd have on the Inquisition's course. I know that she holds that against me, but frankly, that is her problem, not mine."

Solas: "You know I can't say much about that, right? Just know that the threat Solas poses for Thedas might match the one Corypheus' was. I have no illusions about that. But he is also my friend, and I'll not fight him without at least trying to make him see reason. If he does not, then ... I'll do what I have to."

Cassandra: "At first, Cassandra frightened me. I suppose that is understandable, given that my first impression of her was her threatening to kill me over something I had not even done. Thankfully, we got better after that. Are we friends? Well ... I'm not sure, but ... yes, I think we are friends."

Blackwall: "Blackwall. Yeah. Weird story. I'm still a bit in awe about how well he managed to cover his tracks - I'm told even Leliana had no clue about his true identity. Maybe he can make up for what he did now, that he is an actual Warden. Blackwall - the real one - saw the potential in him, so I had to give him that chance."

The Iron Bull: "I can't say I'm very upset about Bull leaving the Qun. We might have lost our connection to the Ben-Hassrath, but what we gained is worth a lot more - an ally, a friend - and for some of us, even more. I'm happy for Dorian and him."

Varric: "I heard that they made Varric the new viscount of Kirkwall, and I'm really uncertain whether this was the best or worst thing they could've come up with. But after all the city's been through, it's good to know that it is now ruled by someone who had their heart in the right place. Even if he'd never admit it."

Sera: "I'm sorry for the choice of words, but Sera is batshit insane. There's no mild way to put it. I can deal with a certain amount of crazy, but Sera simply was too much for me. Recruiting her into the Inquisition was a mistake in the first place, but I am glad that she left before she could do to much damage."

Cole: "I think Cole is adjusting well to his new life as a human. Of course I still wonder if it was the right thing to do, instead of him sticking to his spirit nature... but looking at him, I do think that he's happy, and I suppose that must be worth something."

Others

Hero of Ferelden: "I've never met Lady Aeducan in person, but she once sent a letter to the Inquisition. It was her who convinced King Bhelen to send dwarven soldiers, which was a great help. Oh, and now I am also proud owner of a caricature of Corypheus, drawn by a Paragon herself. I'm told that's just how she is."

Hawke: "I have a lot of respect for Hawke. It surely takes a lot of spine to fight this fiercely for a cause that is not even your own. That said, I still think that there would have been better ways to start a revolution than to confirm every single fear the templars had about mages ... which is exactly what Anders did."
