* ActionPet: He survives the mage uprising and the battle at Haven. (Although he does come out of the latter with a singed tail.)

* ComicRelief: He is often a bright spot in an otherwise CrapsackWorld.

He takes Fennel on a whim, hoping that the cat will help Evelyn recover from tranquility. Even though it doesn’t work, Solas keeps the cat and seems to draw comfort from the animal. When Evelyn recovers, she is just as happy to have Fennel around]].

[[folder:Evelyn Trevelyan]]
A circle mage who has been living at Ostwick since she was eight years old.
* BadassBookworm: The library is the only thing she loves about Ostwick.
* BadDreams: Evelyn has them regularly [[spoiler: after her tranquility is cured]].
* BlueBlood: Her father is the Bann of Ostwick, which makes her whole family nobility. This gives Evelyn advantages within the tower, even though a mage cannot hold a title or lands.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In defiance of the templars, she takes a risk to help an apostate she does not know.
* FriendsWithBenefits: After her first love ended with a stint in the dungeon, she prefers her relationships this way. It is safer.

* PlayingWithFire: She is talented with fire magic and enjoys using it.
* PregnancyScare: After she has sex with Solas for the first time, she realizes that she took no precautions to prevent pregnancy. The mages have an herbal birth control, but it is less effective if taken after the fact. [[spoiler: The scare is ended a week later, when she gets her period]].
* ReluctantWarrior: While Evelyn can fight, she does not enjoy it. Rescuing her people from the Fallow Mire, fighting in the Dales, and the bloodshed at Halamshiral clearly weigh heavily on her.
* SecondLove: Solas is this for Evelyn. He guesses as much after they discuss the matchmaker spirit.
* SideBet: The first scene is of Evelyn and Kinnaird placing bets on who the new apostate is.
* SurvivorGuilt: Evelyn suffers from this after the mage uprising. First because she survived at all, and second [[spoiler: because her tranquility was cured and so many others still endure it]].
* TakeCareOfTheKids: One of her duties at Ostwick is teaching young apprentices. She is very fond of them, and when all of the mages are locked into the great hall, her first instinct is to gather the children and protect them.

* YouMustBeCold: Cullen attempts to give her his cloak at Haven but she runs before he can manage it.

--> ”I don’t think the cabbage will become something else if you stare at it. I’ve tried that with meals before. Never works out.”
--> “Tell me about [a spirit.] And none of that, ‘I once met a pride demon and thrashed it in my sleep’ nonsense. I hear that sort of blustering from the apprentices.”
--> ”Not a good plan, but it’s better than nothing.”
* KnightInSourArmor: He worked as a healer who routinely helped mages end unwanted pregnancies, used his power to help mages who wanted to be transferred, and helps with the mage rebellion. But he’s grumpy about it the whole time.

[[folder:Kinnaird]]
A mage who used to be an apostate, but was brought to the Circle of Magi when he was sixteen.

* GoThroughMe: His general attitude towards dealing with templars. Kinnaird looks like a {{Boisterous Bruiser}} which makes most templars think twice before messing with him.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Becomes this [[spoiler: after Fitz dies]].
* HiddenDepths: He looks like a brute, but is actually a kind-hearted healer.
*NiceGuy: One of the nicest people in the entire fic. He heals his friends’ injuries, takes Solas under his wing, tries to help a new apprentice (even if he does back out of it, for fear he will get his sister in trouble), and is generally just a good person.

Kinnaird’s twin sister and one of Evelyn’s closest friends.
* TheCynic: She tends to have a pessimistic view of things and reacts accordingly.
* DoNotGoGentle: During the mage uprising, Keldra advocates for fighting back and taking as many of the templars with them as they can.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While she may have been rather harsh about it, Keldra wasn’t wrong about Evelyn and Solas’s relationship having dangerous consequences. [[spoiler: Like Fitz’s death, Claybourne becoming the Knight Commander, and the world probably being doomed because Evelyn’s trauma makes her believe in Solas’s cause]].

[[folder:Ser Grieves]]
One of Ostwick’s templars.
* EvilGloating: A speciality of his.

* IShallTauntYou: He enjoys demonstrating his power over mages.

A young, quiet mage who tries to attract as little attention as possible. She shares the dormitory with Evelyn and Keldra.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Signy is quiet, calm and [[spoiler: a blood mage who regularly converses with a demon of rage]].
* BrokenBird: When Evelyn first meets her, Signy is being cornered by a known rapist. Her response implies this is not the first time it has happened to her.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She seems to be a quiet, forgettable young woman [[spoiler: until the mage uprising begins and she reveals herself to be a powerful blood mage. She takes out a good number of templars offscreen by making them fight one another]].
* HeroOfAnotherStory: It’s hinted that she has been using her [[spoiler: blood magic]] against the templars for a long time. And after the uprising, she vanishes into the wilds.
