Biography

Early Life

After Lady Eloise's death in 9:21, Bann Elric Trevelyan was left to care for their children alone. However he was an important man and had many other matters to attend to, so as long as the children were well-behaved, obedient and regularly attended the Chants, he mostly did not involve himself in their day-to-day care. As a result, the Trevelyan children were mostly raised by an assortment of nannies and tutors. Eldest brother Astor was a special case; as he was the heir, once he turned eleven Bann Trevelyan took a more direct role in his upbringing.

The paths their other three children should take in life were still carefully planned out, however - the Trevelyan name was well-respected and the Bann would not have it besmirched. Lyrica and Ellery were promised to the Chantry, while Weston was to be given to the Templar Order.

Growing up, Ellery was a timid, quiet girl. She loved to learn and was a favourite among the tutors her father hired for his children. She was a devout Andrastian and often spent time at the local Chantry, caring for the sick and poor. She liked to wear pretty dresses and braid flowers into garlands, offering them so sweetly to her siblings that even Weston was seen, more than once, with a crown of Andraste's grace atop his head. Her father had plans to send her to the Chantry, intending for her to become a Revered Mother in the future. Those plans were disrupted when Ellery was discovered to be a mage, shortly after turning eleven.

This was a tumultuous time in Ellery's life. Her father abhorred mages and reacted violently when her magic was discovered. Enraged that his daughter would bring such shame to the Trevelyan name, he blamed her vanity for the curse and chopped off her waist-length hair as punishment - she wounded his pride, so he saw fit to take away the one thing she was most proud of.  

Her father was a great admirer of Knight-Commander Meredith, and it was only the quiet intervention of Astor that prevented her from being sent to Kirkwall's Gallows instead of Ostwick's Circle of Magi. She was not well received at the Circle, however. Her uncle was Knight-Commander Ivon Trevelyan, a man known for his love of the hunt - he spends most of his time in the field with a small hand-selected team, hunting down apostates and Dalish mages. Though the Knight-Commander was rarely at the Circle, everyone has heard the rumours of what happens to these captured mages if they resist, and his name is often used as a threat to anyone who misbehaves. Her association with him made the other mages wary of her, and it would take almost a year for them to accept her. 

Life at the Circle

All her life, Ellery was taught to fear mages, who all carried the potential of becoming abominations. The idea that she was one herself was terrifying and she cried for days after finding out; she did her best to serve Him, why did He see fit to bestow this curse upon her?  

Despite her fear, it was clear early on that Ellery was especially gifted in magic. Senior Enchanter Lydia saw her potential and encouraged her talent, becoming her mentor in the process. The more she learned at the Circle, the less she saw magic as a curse but rather a blessing from the Maker. The power she had been granted can do great things; she had the ability to change the world around her with a mere thought. There was so much good that can be done with it and Ellery was excited to learn more. While possession still frightened her, she drew strength from her belief in the Maker. Magic is His gift to her, and as long as she used it to serve Him, she would find protection within His embrace.  

Senior Enchanter Lydia was respected by the other students, and her acceptance of Ellery would open the door for the others to accept her as well.  

Though she could excel at any discipline she chose, she was a gentle girl who sought to make the world a better place. She chose to concentrate on spirit healing with the intention of volunteering her services to the Chantry. As fire was a symbol of purity in the Chant, she did have a passing interest in fire magic, but did not study it extensively.
