5[[folder:Brehan Mahariel]]
6--> ''Emma shem'nan''
7
8A Dalish elf that Duncan forcibly recruited. Though initially hostile to the party, he eventually warms to them and serves as the party's scout and tracker. Leliana also trains him as a bard, and the two begin a relationship. After the Blight ends, he goes with Leliana back to Orlais and joins her in working as the Divine's left hand. [[spoiler: In the future timeline, he's spymaster of the Inquisition.]]
9* TheBard: Both in terms of actually singing and in acting as a spy. He eventually becomes the Inquisition's spymaster when Leliana becomes Divine.
10* {{BFS}}: Favors two-handed weapons, so he's also just as prone to using hammers or wielding axes.
11* ButtMonkey: Partly because he's the scout and partly because he's not as tough as the others, if someone gets injured during a fight it's usually him. Things with teeth tend to go after him first.
12* CantArgueWithElves: Has this attitude at the start. While he gets over it, he never stops being proud of his Dalish roots.
13* CharacterDevelopment: Arguably has the most of all the characters. He goes from Shem-hating Dalish elf to the Left Hand of the Divine and Spymaster of the Inquisition.
14* CloakAndDagger: He and Leliana engage in a lot of this during [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6356509/chapters/14562313 Side Trips]]
15* ColdBloodedTorture: Suffers it in one of the alternate worlds.
16* CombatPragmatist: Doesn't mind using poison and grenades.
17%%* CultureClash: Has this with the entire party at first.
18* CursedWithAwesome: He can sense darkspawn at an incredible range and with great accuracy, but occasionally suffers from sensory overload.
19* FishOutOfWater: Is this at first regarding human cities. Leliana helps him get over it.
20* ForestRanger: His primary use to the Wardens is as a scout
21* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Has a bit of this towards Josephine, due to her being Leliana's surrogate little sister.
22* JackOfAllTrades: The others may tease him about being the worst of the fighters, but it's worth noting that Brehan has the widest range of skills. He can sing, play instruments, forge documents, pick pockets, pick locks, cook, scout, hunt, and spy. And when he does fight he can pick up any weapon and use it, while the others stick to their specialties.
23* KilledOffForReal: Had this happen to him in one of the alternate worlds. [[spoiler: At the hands of one of his oldest friends, no less. It was a MercyKill.]]
24* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Gets one in the form of a wolf.
25* MeaningfulName: His name means "raven". He pairs up with the Nightingale.
26* NoodleIncident: He and Cassandra have a few. Cassandra threatens him with bodily harm whenever he starts to bring one up.
27-->''Remind me to tell you about the night I ended up in a turf war between four different thieves' guilds''
28* ObliviousToLove: Leliana has to spell it out for him. In his defense, he thought she was a lesbian.
29* OddFriendship: He and Cassandra are clearly good friends. [[spoiler: In one reality, they even get a RelationshipUpgrade]]
30* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Gets taken prisoner by the kids. Alistair comments that he's never going to let Brehan live that down
31* RefusalOfTheCall: Tried. Didn't work because he already had the Blight. His choices were become a Warden or die, and when he picked the latter his Keeper ordered him to go with Duncan.
32* TheSpymaster: Becomes this alongside Leliana.
33* TookALevelInKindness: Does this after Saitada gives him some percussive therapy.
34%%* WanderingMinstrel
35* VitriolicBestBuds: With Jerath, Brosca, and Cassandra.
36[[/folder]]
37
38[[folder:Kevan Brosca]]
39--> ''Leske almost did something smart. Cept he forgot who I was.''
40
41He prefers to just go by Brosca. He's a casteless thug who impressed both Duncan and Saitada by winning a proving, and later fighting his way through the Carta. Initially he's illiterate, but first Saitada and then Lenore teach him to read. He ends up in a relationship with both Lenore and Zevran.
42* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Is 100% behind Saitada because the former princess arranged for him to get some help early on and treated him like an equal when they both ended up Wardens.
43* BenevolentBoss: His house grows quickly, and they are all loyal to him.
44* BewareTheSillyOnes: Doesn't seem to take a lot seriously. Runs an assassin's guild that ends up rivaling the Crows.
45* BigBrotherInstinct: Is the younger sibling, but has this anyway. Expands it to include various other members of his RagtagBunchOfMisfits
46* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Occasionally acts as this to Lenore and Zevran.
47* DualWielding: When he's not going to GoodOldFisticuffs.
48* ForbiddenFriendship: His friendship with Saitada would have been this had circumstances been different.
49* GoodIsNotSoft: He is an assassin skilled in making poison
50* KnightInSourArmor: Is a bit of a cynic, but still thinks the world can be made better
51* LovableSexManiac: Shares this trait with his lovers.
52* OppositesAttract: His friendship with Lenore initially looks this way, but while they have very different backgrounds they have very similar personalities.
53* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: A benevolent version. When told he can start his own house, he starts it on the surface and invites humans and elves to join. He even has his own little mage circle.
54%% With who? * {{Polyamory}}: Has an open relationship with his OneTrueThreesome.
55%%* RecruitedFromTheGutter
56%%* SatisfiedStreetRat: From casteless to paragon.
57* AThreesomeIsHot: Has no problem hooking up with Lenore and Zevran. They've been known to invite Isabela along as well.
58* VitriolicBestBuds: Has a bit of this with Brehan.
59* WorkingClassHero: The dwarves come to consider him this.
60[[/folder]]
61
62[[folder:Cathiel Cousland]]
63--> '' Is it wrong that I actually do miss the days when we were running for our lives?''
64
65The younger of the Cousland siblings, Cathiel is one of Fereldan's blue bloods. She has a hot temper and wanted to get revenge on Arl Howe instead of joining the Wardens, but was convinced by her father's dying wish to do her duty for Ferelden. She and Alistair bond over shared grief and eventually form Ferelden's ruling couple.
66* BadassFamily: The Couslands were one of these.
67* BlueBlood: Her family is fairly close to royalty and Saitada notes that Cathiel's claim to the throne is actually superior to Anora's
68* DoubleEntendre: Generally at Alistair's expense.
69* EthicalSlut: Starts as one before hooking up with Alistair.
70* GlassCannon: A deadly archer, but lightly armored and can't take a hit as well as some of her companions.
71* HappilyMarried: She and Alistair end up this in ''Side Trips''.
72* HeroesLoveDogs: Is generally accompanied by her mabari.
73* HotBlooded: She has a temper.
74* ItsPersonal: Has this toward Arl Howe, and to a lesser extent Loghain.
75* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Murdered by assassins, along with her husband, when their eldest son was around twelve or thirteen.]]
76* LadyAndKnight: Is the Lady to Alistair's knight, though she's a badass in her own right.
77* LeaderWannabe: Initially objects to Saitada taking the lead before realizing the other woman is the more experienced military commander. Later is glad she's not the one wrapped in TheChainsOfCommanding.
78%%* MamaBear
79* OldSchoolChivalry: One of the things she likes about Alistair.
80* ProperLady: Her mother wanted her to be one, but it was not meant to be.
81* SadClown: She and Alistair bond over the fact they both deal with grief by making bad jokes.
82* SickeninglySweethearts: Can be this with Alistair.
83* RevengeBeforeReason: Usually manages to subvert this, though sometimes another character has to remind her of the reasons.
84%% What does she do? * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: As Ferelden's queen.
85* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Tells Alistair this when he needs to hear it.
86[[/folder]]
87
88[[folder:Jerath Tabris / Razikale]]
89--> ''"You really think I'd let the world end on my watch?"''
90
91Jerath starts the story barely an adult by Thedas standards, and his size leads many to mistake him for a child. At least, until he starts fighting and talking, when he proves himself both deadly and far older than his years would indicate. He is a rage abomination and was trained to fight by the demon in his head, making him one of the finest warriors in Thedas. He eventually ends up the host of none other than Razikale.
92* ActionDad: Definitely is one, but he and Morrigan are actually the only parents that stay out of things in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6422530/chapters/14702317 Bloodlines]]. [[spoiler: Future him sent a message back to himself via Loghain Junior telling him to stay out of it.]]
93* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Keeps ending up in charge of things, even when he doesn't want to. Considering how powerful he ends up, it's probably a good thing he has no desire to actually rule.
94* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: If you are his friend, he will slaughter anyone who messes with you.
95* BenevolentBoss: There is a reason his people are insanely loyal to him.
96--> Inquisitor, I'll be blunt. I'm protective of my people, and I'm prone to acts of extraordinary violence.
97%%* BrokenBird: Arguably starts as this.
98* BrokenPedestal: His mother fought alongside Loghain in the rebellion, [[spoiler: and actually named Jerath for Loghain's father]]. Growing up on those stories meant Loghain was Jerath's childhood hero.
99* CombatParkour: Being small and fast, Jerath makes heavy use of this.
100* DeadpanSnarker: His favorite means of communication.
101* DemonicPossession: Since he was four years old. [[spoiler: He manages to overcome it when he's around 16, only to end up back in the same situation by 17.]]
102* DespairEventHorizon: Crosses this in Vathran's world.
103* TheDreaded: Upon learning who they are facing, bandits run off a cliff rather than engage him in combat
104* DualWielding: Favors a sword and axe combo.
105* GoodIsNotSoft: Enough that it's occasionally difficult to remember that he is one of the good guys. He's got no problem solving issues by quietly slaughtering a small band of nobles conspiring against him, then turning around and using their stores to feed the hungry in Amaranthine.
106* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler: He and Morrigan are deeply in love and clearly happy together.]]
107* HatesBeingTouched: There are unpleasant reasons for this. Over the course of the series he slowly gets over it, even becoming tolerant of Dagna's tendency to glomp him.
108* HiddenHeartOfGold: Is extremely prone to violence, but has a lot of PetTheDog moments.
109%%* FamilyMan
110* LoveRedeems: He and Morrigan do this for each other. [[spoiler: It's worth noting that Razikale used to be a spirit of love before her FaceHeelTurn]]
111* RoaringRampageOfRescue: Starts the series off with one of these, proving that he is not someone to be messed with despite being only fifteen
112* RousingSpeech: Not good at these. He prefers to inspire with a quiet DareToBeBadass
113* PintSizedPowerhouse: Is small even for an elf. Probably the single best warrior in Thedas even before he takes a few more levels in badass
114* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler: Passes the Sword of Vigilance to Jerath Gilmore, noting that the job of defending Ferelden is his now]]
115%% What does he do? * TokenEvilTeammate: Borders on this at times.
116* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: He joins souls with Razikale, making him effectively an archdemon and PhysicalGod . By Apocalypse, he's keeping the Evanuris from escaping by himself.]]
117* TheQuietOne: Despite being a badass, Jerath is actually fairly shy and tends not to do much talking until he gets to know people. Then he starts getting snarky.
118* TheLancer: Serves as this to Saitada.
119* SingleTargetSexuality: If it weren't for Morrigan, he'd be asexual. He doesn't even seem to be aware other romantic options exist. Considering they eventually become MindlinkMates it's possible there are underlying reasons for this.
120* TheStoic: It's rare for him to display much in the way of emotion.
121* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: He's fifteen when the series starts [[spoiler: and already a serial killer]].
122* YouAreInCommandNow: Takes over as Warden Commander when Saitada steps down. He's the Warden Commander through [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060589/chapters/13893241 Awakening of the Dragon]].
123* VigilanteMan: [[spoiler: He was gangraped when he was nine and saw his mother murdered. He started killing off the ones who did it when he was ten, as well as murdering the templars who came for his sister, and others who hurt the elves. And then there is what happened to everyone at the Arl of Denerim's estate.]]
124* WhyDontYaJustShootHim: Averts this. Also goes back a few times to kill people his friends were too softhearted to kill themselves.
125
126[[/folder]]
127
128[[folder:Lenore Amell]]
129--> ''Oops.''
130
131A blue-blood mage who was raised in the sheltered Ferelden Tower, Lenore wanted to help the Wardens from the beginning. She's naive and a bit wide-eyed at first, but not particularly innocent. She is very dangerous, though not always intentionally so, when she brings her magic into play.
132%%* AbsentMindedProfessor
133* ArmorAndMagicDontMix: Not always true in Thedas, but Lenore doesn't wear armor
134%%* BadassBookworm
135* BadassFamily: She's an Amell, and a cousin to Hawke. Then she marries Brosca.
136* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sweet, loving, and will set you on fire if you screw with her friends.
137* CovertPervert: Not all that covert.
138%%* DitzyGenius
139* EthicalSlut: Becomes one of these. It breaks her the mind of her first boyfriend, the very shy Cullen
140* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Ruya notes that Lenore and Isabela greeting each other may have set a chantry on fire somewhere. Cullen is just reduced to a stuttering wreck by the sight.
141* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Is this whenever something strikes her as adorable.
142* MagicCauldron: Is good at making potions and poisons. Is not always so good at remembering not to make poisons in the party's only cooking pot.
143* NiceGuy: Knew Lily for a day. Breaks her out of Aeonar first chance she gets.
144%%* ObfuscatingStupidity: Pulls this a few times.
145* OddFriendship: The sheltered BlueBlood bookworm almost immediately bonds with the carta knee-breaker. She and Brosca are physically affectionate with each other even before their RelationshipUpgrade.
146* PersonOfMassDestruction: Probably the most dangerous of the Blight Crew, at least until Jerath TookALevelInBadass. She is a mage.
147* PowerPerversionPotential: Uses magic during sex.
148%%* ReallyGetsAround
149* TheRedMage: Can heal, but her in-universe nickname is Fireball for a reason.
150* ShelteredAristocrat: Combined with SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining . She's a mage and very well read, but she doesn't know things like how money works due to growing up in the tower.
151* ShipperOnDeck: Tends to be this to her friends.
152* SquishyWizard: Is this, though gets a little better after Brosca teaches her to throw a punch.
153* WeirdnessMagnet: Comes with being an Amell.
154[[/folder]]
155
156
157[[folder:Saitada Aeducan]]
158--> ''At least morale is high.''
159
160Commander Saitada Aeducan, Princess of Orzammar. She and Duncan hit it off right away, and though at the time she couldn't join the Wardens she was doing all she could to help them. She and Duncan had a one-night stand that turned into a relationship when she did end up a Warden after all, and he began training her as his successor. She took up the mantle after his death, and serves as Fereldan's Warden-Commander.
161
162* BigBrotherWorship: Averted. She clearly loved Trian and named her adopted son for him, but she was well aware of his flaws.
163* CainAndAbel: On paper, she and Bhelan have reconciled and are allies, working together for the betterment of all dwarves. Off the record, she'd love to bash his face in.
164* CoolBigSis: When she's not being TeamMom.
165* FieryRedhead: Averted. Crimson-haired, but a fairly calm though strong-willed personality.
166* FourStarBadass: She was a military commander before she started leading the Wardens.
167* GoodIsNotSoft: She was born in Orzammar, and can play the Game with the best of them.
168%%* HeartbrokenBadass: After Ostagar.
169* HugeGuyTinyGirl: She's a dwarf, and pals around with Sten.
170* ItsPersonal: Has this toward Loghain after the death of Duncan. It's likely if it hadn't been for that she would have been willing to work with the man.
171* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Dies hand in hand with Arishok (Sten), murdered by an ancient elf.]]
172%%* LadyOfWar
173* TheLancer: Serves as one to Duncan before stepping up after his death
174* TheLostLenore: Duncan is this for her. The series spans almost thirty years, she never gets together with anyone else romantically.
175* OddFriendship: She and Sten become close.
176%%* OnlySaneMan: She tries, anyway.
177* PintSizedPowerhouse: The fact that she's a dwarf doesn't change that she can probably kick your ass.
178* PlatonicLifePartners: Has this with Sten, until he becomes Arishok and the events of Trespasser occur
179* ProperLady: Was one, but keep in mind it was by dwarven standards
180* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Finds herself leading one after the events of Ostagar, and turns them into a BadassCrew
181* RevengeBeforeReason: At least some of her motive for putting Alistair on the throne is wanting to wipe out Loghain's entire family in vengeance for the deaths of Duncan and the other Wardens. Jerath calls her on it.
182* TeamMom: Often serves as this to the Blight crew.
183[[/folder]]

185!!Dragon Age 2
186
187[[folder: Hawke]]
188--> ''Aveline, as Guard Captain, surely you must be concerned that some poor man is routinely losing his pants.''
189
190The owner of the worst luck in Thedas and star of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060639/chapters/13893330 Rise of the Champion]]
191* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Half the reason he goes on quests is because they distracted him from something else.
192* AlmightyJanitor: He helps out the guard a lot. Doesn't stop even after he's a noble.
193* TheArchmage: Cassandra is highly impressed by the amount of magic Hawke can sling around when he wants to.
194* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: It's possible the only reason he helped the Inquisition deal with the Wardens is he was terrified his brother was mixed up in it.
195* BadassFamily: In ''Bloodlines'', he and Lenore get to team up.
196* BattleCouple: He and Fenris are actually called this in story, and the two of them are effectively Kirkwall's entire army.
197* BewareTheSillyOnes: Takes almost nothing seriously
198* BenevolentBoss: Treats Orana more like a beloved little sister than a servant. She may be his ReplacementGoldfish for Bethany.
199* BigBrotherInstinct: Toward his little brother, his friends, Kirkwall in general. Toward pretty much everyone but Aveline, who has this toward him. He treats Aveline as his CoolBigSis.
200* BullyingADragon: Good luck figuring out why anyone is stupid enough to pick a fight with him
201* CasualDangerDialogue: He's so used to getting jumped by bandits it barely even causes a hiccup in the conversation.
202* CourtMage: Actually serves as one to Ferelden for a little while, before going back to Kirkwall. Serves as Viscount Varric's.
203* DoubleAgent: Makes nice with Meredith to cover for the fact he's smuggling mages out of Kirkwall
204* DyingMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: In Apocalypse, he dies hollding off the elven goddess Anduril, after killing one of the Forgotten Ones]]
205* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Which he finds beneficial, since he is himself gay.
206%%* FightMagnet: He is half Amell.
207* HappilyMarried: Eventually this with Fenris. They adopt two kids.
208* HeterosexualLifePartners: He's not heterosexual, but he and Varric have this dynamic when they aren't being ThoseTwoGuys. And they do flirt with each other sometimes.
209* LargeHam: Deliberate, part of his ObfuscatingStupidity.
210* LastNameBasis: To the point some people are genuinely surprised to learn he has a first name.
211* LikeBrotherAndSister: He and Aveline definitely have this, with her being the only person in Thedas he acts as the younger sibling toward.
212* OddFriendship: Actually seems to have one with Meredith before she goes off the deep end. They even share a few laughs. By ''Bloodlines'' it's clear he and Cullen remain good friends.
213* OneManArmy: Kirkwall doesn't need an army. It has Hawke.
214* PapaWolf: Makes it clear that even though he considers Cullen a friend, if the knight-captain so much as glances in the direction of Hawke's mage daughter, Hawke will end him
215%%* RagsToRiches
216* TheTease: Does occasionally flirt with women, especially Isabela.
217* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: Anders is in love with Hawke, and it's clear that Anders still has feeling for him long after their friendship has been severed.
218* WeHelpTheHelpless: Could have this on his business card
219* WeUsedToBeFriends: Stated the only reason he hasn't obliterated Sebastian is Sebastian used to be one of his TrueCompanions. However, the same doesn't hold true of Anders and Hawke makes it clear that if Anders is in his vicinity Hawke is going to respond with hostility.

222
223!!The Inquisitors
224
225[[folder:Ruya Trevelyan]]
226--> ''But you're still glad I'm here to rescue you.''
227A blue-blood mage who enjoyed a privileged life in the tower until the mage rebellion. After closing the rift, she willingly joins the Inquisition to do all she can to help, and eventually ends up leading it.
228%%* TheAce: Was this at the Circle.
229* AllLovingHero: Hands out hugs.
230%%* TheArchmage
231* BadassBookworm: Has a tendency to get a little geeky with Dorian and Solas when uncovering some new magic or historical find
232* BadassFamily: Is a Trevelyan. With an Amell grandmother.
233* BarrierMaiden: Solas actually states that she's better at barriers than he is, and in fights she expends a lot of her magic keeping her more martial companions safe.
234%%* BenevolentBoss
235* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is an incredibly nice person, but it's best to remember she is the Inquisitor for a reason
236* TheChosenOne: Believes she is this.
237* EveryonesBabySister: Iron Bull and a few others seem to act this way. Her actual older brothers are both very protective of her.
238* FrontlineGeneral: Despite being a mage, she's out on the front lines in the thick of things. It's clear this is one of the main reasons her soldiers respect and adore her.
239* HopeBringer: Just by the example she sets she does a lot of good for healing the rift between templars and mages. Her own romance with Cullen helps, as does the number of templar family members she has and the fact that she herself wanted to be a templar before her powers manifested.
240* TheIngenue: Was a virgin before getting together with Cullen.
241* LikeBrotherAndSister: Flat out tells Dorian he's a brother to her. Her children also later address most members of her inner circle as 'Aunt' or 'Uncle', with Gavren referring to Cassandra as 'Aunt Cassie'.
242* NoodleIncident: Her brother Lukas threatens to tell Cullen about one.
243* MagicKnight: Wields a magic sword and wears armor. It's suggested she inspires a lot of mages toward this.
244* MamaBear: Toward her friends and her soldiers, and eventually toward her children.
245* PregnantBadass: Was this through the events of trespasser.
246* AFatherToHisMen: She and Cullen can be very parental toward their soldiers.
247* ShipperOnDeck: Almost the entire Inquisition is this to her and Cullen. When they kiss at the end, the soldiers start cheering.
248%%* TeamMom
249* WeirdnessMagnet: After she lets slip to Jerath's Wardens that she's part Amell, they seriously consider jumping off a moving elevator platform because it's 'probably safer than going into the Deep Roads with an Amell Mage'.
250%% What does she win? * YoungestChildWins: She's the youngest of three.
251[[/folder]]
252
253[[folder:Bridget]]
254Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6469801/chapters/14809006 Colored Stones]]. Dwarven woman with a carta background.
255

257
258[[folder:Kas Adaar]]
259--> ''That makes a disturbing amount of sense.''
260Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5888572/chapters/13572109 A Hard Line]]. Kas is a qunari mercenary and leader of a mercenary band. She's in the Inquisition to avenge her loved ones, but later ends up leading it. She's gruff, no-nonsense, hates mages, and generally not a very nice person a lot of the time.
261%%* AmazonianBeauty
262* BigBrotherInstinct: Was Kathan's big sister. Later extends this to a few others.
263* TheBigGuy: The most physically powerful of the Inquisitors.
264* DoesNotLikeMagic: The only mage she can tolerate is the pro-circle Vivienne.
265* GoodIsNotNice: Kas is not a nice person. Even people who don't like her acknowledge she is a good one.
266* GoodOldFisticuffs: Punches a few people in the face over the course of the story. Solas, at least, actively goaded her into it
267* HairTriggerTemper: Has one that causes her to lash out and engage in some occasional DisproportionateRetribution
268* HeartBrokenBadass: A lot of her temper issues come from the fact she's grieving the death of her little brother. She gets a lot nicer after she avenges him.
269* HiddenDepths: Reading Kathan's story shows a few of hers. She regularly went hungry to keep her little brother fed, and half her mercenary band was made up of slaves she freed. Plus she made damn sure her GeniusBruiser little brother got an education
270* KnightTemplar: Becomes a templar.
271%%* KnightInSourArmor
272* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Aside from Sera, it's hard to find anyone who actually likes Kas.
273* TheMenFirst: Even if she doesn't like you, if you are one of her people she's going to protect you.
274* NotSoAboveItAll: Gets drunk with Sera and Iron Bull and sings.
275* OppositesAttract: It's hard to find two people more different than Sera and Kas, but they clearly adore each other.
276* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite everything, she generally manages to be this.
277* TookALevelInKindness: Apologizes to Dorian for how she treated him.
278%%* WhenSheSmiles
279%%* WouldNotShootACivilian

284--> ''I fell out of the fade and landed on my head.''
285Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6451912/chapters/14766025 Not The Herald]]. A very young Qunari mercenary who helped close the rift, and then joined the Inquisition because nobody told him not joining was an option. Much, much, much smarter and far more dangerous than he acts.
286* AmazonChaser: Is this to Cassandra.
287%%* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Does this a lot.
288* BattleCouple: Forms one with Cassandra.
289* BewareTheNiceOnes: One of the nicest people in Thedas, right up until you cross the line. Is the only person in the entire series to make Jerath back down.
290* BewareTheSillyOnes: Is a gigantic dork. Threatened Mythal, Razikale, and Fen'Harel to their faces and all three believed him.
291* BladeCollector: Carries a couple dozen and is prone to picking up any he finds.
292%% What's the Cultured part? * CulturedBadass: Manages to be this despite being a Qunari mercenary.
293* HumbleHero: Denies being the Herald of Andraste at every possible opportunity.
294* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Dorian eats the eye candy. Kathan doesn't mind, and will even flex for him.
295* FriendtoAllChildren: Regularly spends time playing with the kids living at Haven and Skyhold and can often be seen carrying one about on his shoulders.
296* ForgottenFallenFriend: Averted. He's nowhere near as over the deaths of Kas and Quiyala as he acts, as Solas learns the hard way.
297* GeniusBruiser: Kas knew he liked to read, so would grab books as loot for him. When she accidentally grabbed books in other languages, Kathan taught himself so he could read them anyway.
298* GuileHero: Hides being the smartest guy in the entire series behind a goofy dork persona, though admits he really is a goofy dork.
299* GrandRomanticGesture: Gives Cassandra several of these.
300* {{Keet}}: Despite being a qunari, he's young enough to still have a few shades of this.
301* LikesOlderWomen: Cassandra is nearly twice his age.
302* NayTheist: Is one, despite hooking up with Cassandra and [[spoiler: being best friends with the Dread Wolf]].
303* ObfuscatingStupidity: His favorite weapon, and it remains effective even after the people around him catch on.
304--> '''Cullen:''' I am well aware that you are not as dumb as you act.
305--> '''Kathan:''' Shit, can ya imagine if'n the opposite was true?
306* OppositesAttract: On the surface his relationship with Cassandra appears to be this. Once you uncover the HiddenDepths to both though it's clear they are actually a lot alike.
307* {{Omniglot}}: Due to his eclectic education, wandering background, and tendency to treat everyone he meets as an educational opportunity, Kathan is fluent in several languages. He can even converse with Solas in elven.
308%%* RealityWarper: Turns out Solas was a better teacher than Solas thought.
309* RefugeInAudacity: Combined with {{Troll}}. Sometimes he's being crazy, and sometimes he's just screwing with people.
310* ShipperOnDeck: Is this for Iron Bull and Dorian.
311* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Regularly beats Solas at the game.
312* UnwantedFalseFaith: Really doesn't like being a messiah figure.
313* XanatosSpeedChess: All the Inquisitors are this. Kathan outplays Solas.
314* WarriorTherapist: Is one to Solas, especially after Solas comes clean.

318--> ''I lied. I do that.''
319Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6437392/chapters/14736235 Little Lies]]. A con man that was dragged into the Inquisition somewhat against his will, and later saw the opportunities it could provide him. Despite his criminal background, he is a deeply religious man who comes to see being the Inquisitor as Andraste's will.
320* AbusiveParents: Combined with ParentalAbandonment: His already abusive father threw him out onto the street and his mother didn't stop it. Also combined with ParentalNeglect: [[spoiler: Margot cared for and mentored him, but she did not stop her husband from sexually abusing him.]] It's no wonder the guy has some issues.
321%%* AgentPeacock
322
323* TheAtoner: Feels being Inquisitor is Andraste offering him the opportunity to be this. He rises to the occasion.
324* BecomingTheMask: Starts out just playing along. Eventually comes to believe Andraste really did choose him.
325%%* BlueBlood
326* BoxedCrook: Actually isn't this to the Inquisition, since they don't know he is a crook. However, the events of the temple of Sacred Ashes actually freed him from this situation.
327%%* BrokenBird: Starts as one
328* TheCharmer: As befits a professional con artist.
329%%* ConMan: Possibly the best one in Thedas.
330* ConsummateLiar: Even after Leliana knows he's this, she still can't nail him down.
331%%* CulturedBadass
332* DirtyCoward: Thinks of himself as one. Eventually gets over it when it's pointed out to him how many genuinely heroic and selfless actions he's performed.
333* EvilMatriarch: Though he himself can't see it, it seems he was mentored by one.
334%%* GoodFeelsGood
335%%* GuileHero
336* HalfHumanHybrid: May be half-elven, and unlike how most in Thedas would react he'd be genuinely happy to learn this was true.
337* HeroicSeductress: Has no problem using sex to sell a con and is shown to be very good at the art of seduction. He was once a whore. [[spoiler: Dorian has a moment of mood whiplash after enjoying just how good Matril is in bed when he realized just how Matril acquired those skills]]
338* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler: If he took back his real identity, he'd be one for Sebastian]]
339* LovableRogue: An ever so slightly reformed version. He's at his most useful to the Inquisition when he starts using these skills on their behalf.
340* ManchurianAgent: Becomes practically suicidal when he realizes he is this for Mythal
341* MamasBabyPapasMaybe: His tearjerker backstory has its origins in this. His mother had an affair with an elven merchant around the time of his conception, and he unfortunately takes after his mother in appearance rather than either of his prospective fathers.
342* RapeAsBackstory: There are reasons the man is slightly messed up.
343* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Went on one that may have led to the Orlesian Civil War.
344* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: [[spoiler: Having once been a SexSlave ]] Matril firmly believes this, which is one of the reasons Solas develops considerable respect for his fellow trickster.
345* SpottingTheThread: Did this with Solas, but unlike Kathan Matril drew the wrong conclusion. He assumes that Solas is a sentinel of some kind.
346%%* TrainingFromHell
347* TheTrickster: Is one, and recognizes Solas as one. It provides a different dynamic to their friendship.
348%%* TheUnfavourite
349%%* VagueAge: Cultivates this

352[[folder:Sulana]]

354Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5888572/chapters/13572109 Into Darkness, Unafraid]]. A somewhat crazy elven warrior who eagerly joins the Inquisition both to help and to get the chance to fight alongside the likes of Cassandra.
355* BadassNormal: It was clear Sulana was a badass long before she got a mark on her hand.
356* BattleCouple: She and Iron Bull are an army unto themselves.
357* BloodKnight: This sweet goofy girl is a reaver, and don't you forget it.
358* CoveredWithScars: Regularly compares hers to Iron Bulls.
359* CuteBruiser: Squees and is adorable. Will cut you in half if you threaten innocents around her.
360* DeclarationOfProtection: Gives one to most of her friends.
361* FamilyOfChoice: The Inquistion clearly becomes hers. When she realizes Solas is leaving the Inquisition, she tells him in elvish that wherever she is he can call that place his home.
362* ForgottenFallenFriend: Averted. She mentions her friends from time to time, noting when they encounter something Quiyala or Vathran would have liked.
363* InLoveWithYourCarnage: She and Iron Bull have this going on, gleefully comparing kills after various battles.
364* KindheartedSimpleton: She's not the brightest, but she may be the most moral and kindness of the Inquisitors outside of Ruya.
365%%* KnightInShiningArmor
366* PluckyGirl: She's quite obviously having the time of her life saving the world.
367* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: Sends a lot of this Solas's way.
368* ProdigalHero: Despite being one of the biggest heroes the Dalish have ever had, she bonds with Solas over the fact that she is now a StrangerInAFamiliarLand, unable to go home again.
369* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Her and Bull.
370* TerrorHero: Became a Reaver because there are people out there that like to pick on those smaller than themselves. She wants to be their worst nightmare.
371* TokenGoodTeammate: Has the fewest morally questionable actions of any of the Inquisitors.
372* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Tells a few people this. What makes it more heartwarming is that she means every word.
373* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Notes that while she'll always consider herself Dalish, she doesn't fit with her people anymore and can't go back to her clan.

378Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6404716/chapters/14662294 The Dark Path]]. A dwarven carta leader who manipulates his way into running the Inquisition, and turns it into his ruthless private army.
379* ArmsDealer: Weapons, artifacts, lyrium, slaves, he smuggled pretty much everything
380* BadBoss: Pretends otherwise, but is perfectly willing to kill his subordinates himself if he feels like it
381%%* CulturedBadass: Pretends to be this.
382* GodhoodSeeker: His reaction to learning what Corypheus intends is to try to figure out how he could beat Corypheus to the punch
383* IWillPunishYourFriendForYourFailure: When Cullen questions some of Tan's actions, Tan orders Cullen to flog Eben personally. [[spoiler: Fortunately for Eben, Cullen takes a third option]]
384%%* KickTheDog: Practically his Hat
385%%* LaResistance: Inspires one to rise up against him
386%%* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil
387%%* SafeSaneAndConsensual: Averts this.
388* TheSociopath: Commits rape and murder. Once murdered a woman and fed her to her siblings.
389* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Making him the Inquisitor was not the smartest thing Cassandra and Leliana ever did.
390* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He's very sweet to Josephine because she ensures he is this.
391[[/folder]]
392
393[[folder:Quiyala]]
394--> ''Let's see: I'm an elf, Dalish. A mage, apostate. Part of a heretical movement. Suspected of killing the Divine, and folks are claiming I was chosen by the Chantry's most holy figure. Am I missing anything?''
395
396Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6450025/chapters/14761555 Howling At The Moon]]. An elven mage being trained as a Keeper. She joins the Inquisition after sealing the rift, noting that they are in desperate need of healers. Upon realizing nobody is actually in charge, she begins taking command to make sure things get done and people get the help they need.
397* BenevolentMageRuler: Views this as what a Keeper should be, and takes the responsibility to heart
398* DeadpanSnarker: Dips into this from time to time when she observes just how ridiculous a situation is. She and Solas indulge in some light hearted SnarkToSnarkCombat
399--> '''Quiyala:''' Well, nothing about that was in any way suspicious.
400--> '''Solas:''' My keen elven senses detect sarcasm.
401* TheLeader: She actually steps up to lead sooner than a lot of the other Inquisitors, taking charge of the war table and giving orders to Cullen, Leliana, and Josephine even before going after the mages.
402* TheHeart: Perhaps moreso even than Ruya.
403* TeamMom: Having been trained as a keeper, she falls naturally into this role.
404* WoundedGazelleGambit: Being a young, innocent, frail looking elven maiden, she has no problem using these to manipulate people. She tears up when someone balks at letting her use her magic to heal them, thus gaining their cooperation. Then she winks at Solas when he catches her in the act.
405[[/folder]]
406
407[[folder:Vathran]]

409Inquisitor of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6459202/chapters/14782822 What's the Worst that Could Happen?]]. An elven archer who sees the Inquisition as a chance to bring elves into positions of prominence and glory.
410%%* DesignatedHero
411%%* GloryHound
412%%* GrayingMorality
413* GoodIsNotSoft: Says this trope to himself, but how 'good' he is actually is remains questionable.
414%%* KickTheDog: Does this a few times, though most are unintentional.
415%%* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Takes what Solas screwed up and manages to make it even worse.
416* SlaveToPR: Sacrifices Hawke in the Fade because he's considered Hawke's charisma will draw the mages away from the Inquisition.
417%%* WhatTheHellHero
418%%* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Nowhere near the hero he should be.

421!!The Next Generation
422The cast of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6422530/chapters/14702317 Bloodlines]] and [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9469814/chapters/21423788 Apocalypse]]
423* BadassFamily: Common to most of the kids.
424* BadassCrew: The descendants of the other badass crews form one of their own.
425* CallToAdventure: None of them hesitate to answer, much to the dismay of their parents (And Kels, whom they drag along)
426
427[[folder: Kieran Tabris / Urthemiel]]
428--> ''King Alistair, my father holds you in high regard, and I share his opinion. But do not forget to whom you are speaking.''
429Son of Jerath and Morrigan, grandson of Flemeth/Mythal, and host of Urthemiel. As a mage, he's somewhat of TheAce, though his specialty seems to be shapeshifting and party augmentation.
430* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is a very nice young man, unless you hurt his friends.
431* BigDamnHeroes: Does this a couple times.
432* BroughtDownToBadass: Is a physical god, but gets one of these during the [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6422530/chapters/14702317 Bloodlines]] story to put him in line with the others. He's still tough.
433%% Who bullies him? * BullyingADragon: He's the dragon.
434* CatchPhrase: When it's time to get dangerous, Kieran borrows his father's.
435* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: It's hinted Kieran doesn't experience reality the same way everyone else does. When asked to describe a character, he starts describing their leitmotif, and he speaks in musical metaphors a lot.
436* DemonicPossession: Though Urthemiel is a lot nicer than he was when he, you know, started a blight
437* TheGoodChancellor: Rather than take charge, he tends to act as this. First to Salla, and then when the timeline changes to Duncan.
438* HeelFaceTurn: Urthemiel was the archdemon of the last blight in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. By [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9469814/chapters/21423788 Apocalypse]] he's one of Ferelden's greatest allies.
439* FamilyOfChoice: Despite no blood relation between them, he considers several of the second generation to be cousins and refers to Loghain II as a brother.
440%%* InterspeciesRomance: Is the product of one. And then some.
441* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: In Vathran's world, he was this. His father does not take it well]]
442* MagicKnight: His staff actually comes apart to form a sword and axe combo, mirroring the weapons his father favors.
443* MindWipe: Urthemiel gave himself one to hide the orb, when he realized he was falling
444* MuggingTheMonster: He finds the first time someone tries to rob him exciting
445* TheMuse: What Urthemiel used to be, before becoming a FallenAngel . Becomes this again.
446* NoFourthWall: It doesn't seem to exist for him, which may be why he is never a POV character. He even accuses the author of railroading the party, and comes by some of his information by having read the graphic novels
447* OfficialCouple: In Tan's world, he and Salla got to be childhood sweethearts as he grew up with her, Duncan, Jerath, and Caleb. In Vathran's world, Turana clearly is of the opinion she and he are going to be a couple and it's quite likely she'd have been right had her father not gotten stupid.
448* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Gaining a human side has turned Urthemiel into this.
449* StatusBuff: Is a walking one for his allies even after being BroughtDownToBadass . When you consider the BadassCrew he runs with it's arguably a more powerful trick than his ability to turn into a dragon, especially when he uses it on Gavren. He is the Muse, after all.
450* {{Troll}}: Urthemiel does this a lot. He hasn't forgotten the Wardens killing him atop Fort Drakon, though he seems to accept they did what they had to do.
451* WhatIfGodWasOneOfUs: The kids take the fact there is a physical god walking around with them pretty well, treating Urthemiel himself as "just one of the guys". It might be why Urthemiel likes them and is willing to work with them.
452[[/folder]]
453
454[[folder: Salla Hawke]]
455--> ''We are your children, and you taught us well. So how, exactly, do you think you are going to be able to stop us?''
456Adopted daughter of Hawke and Fenris, elder sister to Caleb. She's primarily a healer, though learns some shapeshifting.
457* CombatMedic: Serves as this for the party.
458* DaddysGirl: Oddly enough this for Fenris rather than for Hawke.
459* DivineDate: She's with Kieran, but at one point it's clearly Urthemiel kissing her.
460* EmpathicHealer: Anders' best student.
461* FirstKiss: Gives this to Kieran and by extension Urthemiel.
462* FishOutOfWater: Starts as one when she finds herself running a RagtagBunchOfMisfits, but by the time they turn into a BadassCrew she's grown into the role of leader enough that she doesn't hesitate a moment to order Urthemiel to mind his goddamn manners and behave himself. And he listens.
463* TheLeader: Is this to the second generation, abet with some initial reluctance.
464* MayflyDecemberRomance: This to Urthemiel, though she's technically older than Kieran.
465* NotSoDifferentRemark: Various people point out to Hawke that she similar to him.
466* PimpedOutDress: Wears one in Tevinter. Hates it.
467* PlainJane: Laments being one, especially next to her drop dead gorgeous best friend Agatha and has a couple IJustWantToBeBeautiful moments. Fortunately for her, Kieran thinks TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside.
468* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Starts out merely a healer, but after they put her in charge she grows into an ActionGirl.
469* RippleEffectProofMemory: Either Kieran or Urthemiel gave her this. She's the only one other than Kieran himself that remembers the events of ''Bloodlines'' after they successfully hit the reset button. [[spoiler: Except that [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9469814/chapters/21423788 Apocalypse]] reveals those that returned to their own time stream also remember.]]
470* UptownGirl: Wasn't born one, but being adopted into the Hawke family and Hawke's return to Kirkwall has made her this to the point someone is courting her purely for her political position.
471[[/folder]]
472
473[[folder: Gavren Dorian Rutherford]]
474--> ''You know who my parents are, Solas, and you know my mentor. I think you far too intelligent than to threaten the safety of my friends.''
475Son of Inquisitor Ruya Trevelyan and Cullen Rutherford. A powerful mage trained by no less than the Dread Wolf himself.
476* ActionGirlfriend: Has one. Tends to rely on her to do the fighting despite being more powerful, since he's more of a tactical nuke kind of powerful
477%%* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: With good reason.
478%% * {{Ambadassador}}: Serves as one for the Inquisition
479* TheApprentice: To the Dread Wolf himself. He has justifiable concerns about why Solas has taken an interest in him, but doesn't turn away the tutelage because he hopes to learn something he can use against Solas. [[spoiler: Thanks to the time shift, he does, because Solas hasn't yet taken precautions against the skills he's taught Gavren]]
480* BadPowersGoodPeople: He keeps a very tight lid on his magic because he's afraid of just how much damage he can cause if he losses control
481%% * BewareTheNiceOnes: Prefers the diplomatic option and borders on pacifist at times.
482* BornOfMagic: His mother bearing the mark while pregnant clearly affected him.
483%% * ChildhoodFriendRomance: Him and Leandra
484* CurbStompBattle: Happens whenever someone picks a fight with him. There is a reason Leandra says she's not the dangerous one.
485%% * TheLancer: Becomes one to Duncan
486* LetsGetDangerous: When Gavren decides he's done being nice, RocksFallEveryoneDies.
487* LikeFatherLikeSon: Bears a physical resemblance to his father, and like both his parents tends to stutter when the conversation turns to 'intimate matters'.
488%% * MagicKnight: He is the son of Cullen and Ruya. He can use a sword.
489* NotQuiteHuman: May be this, due to exposure to the mark.
490* PersonOfMassDestruction: Urthemiel notes that when it comes to raw destructive power, Gavren is stronger. Urthemiel is an Old God
491%% * PhysicalGod: It's hinted he has the potential to become this.
492%% * WizardDuel: Has one with Solas. [[spoiler: Gavren wins.]]
493[[/folder]]
494
495[[folder: Duncan Therin]]
496--> ''Yeah, that horrible death you mentioned a moment ago? It's going to involve arrows.''
497Son of Cathiel and Alistair, and the Crown Prince / King of Ferelden.
498* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Actually averts somewhat in his own timeline. While he's a skilled archer by anyone's standards, he's otherwise dependent on his bodyguards in melee.
499* BadassNormal: Questionable. He's definitely a badass and doesn't appear to have significant powers, however he is the child of two Gray Wardens, magic was used to ensure his birth, and it's revealed later that he is completely immune to the Blight [[spoiler: like his grandmother Fiona]]
500* GenerationXerox: Looks like his father. Acts like his mother. He notes that his father's old friends occasionally call him by his father's name, and considers it a compliment.
501* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Averted. He's the party's go-to archer.
502%%* TheGoodKing: This for Ferelden.
503* HeroicBSOD: Has a brief one after [[spoiler: Jerath's death]] and spends the rest of the story in TranquilFury mode.
504%%* HotBlooded: He gets it from his mother
505* IdiotBall: Grabs it at a few points when he puts RevengeBeforeReason.
506* IGaveMyWord: The only reason he doesn't get captured is Jerath made him promise to run if Jerath told him to run. Jerath tells him to run. Duncan does.
507* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Gives one of these to Agatha regarding Jerath.
508--> Twenty-four years, he's been at my side. My sword and shield. So, break his heart, and I might just kill you.
509* PrinceCharming: Can be this, when he wants.
510* TheLancer: Accepts taking this role to Salla to kick off the quest.
511* TheLeader: Becomes this to nearly all Thedas when he returns to his own time for [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9469814/chapters/21423788 Apocalypse]].
512* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: In his time, he's king of Ferelden
513* YouAreInCommandNow: Officially became king on his eighteenth birthday.
514%% * WarriorPrince: One of these in the past
515[[/folder]]
516
517[[folder: Caleb Hawke]]
518--> ''Well, that was fun. No hard feelings?''
519Adopted son of Hawke and Fenris, though it was Orana who took him in initially. Younger brother of Salla.
520* TheBard: Has natural musical talent, which is why Orana adopts him in the first place. [[spoiler: In the future timeline, he's the seneshal of Kirkwall and more or less stated to be the heir of house Tethras as well. He dies saving Gavren from a demon]]
521* BavarianFireDrill: Runs one on the Seekers. Crowns it by cooking them dinner after and taking the opportunity to drug them into unconsciousness
522%% * BlatantLies
523* TheCharmer: If you give Caleb a chance to start talking, you lose.
524* CityMouse: Complains a lot about the amount of walking involved in adventuring.
525%%* GuileHero: Uncle Varric trained him well.
526%%* HeroicBSOD: Has a bit of one after Alai's death.
527* HeroicSacrifice: Realizing two separate people committed these to save his life serves as a major wake up call for him.
528* NonActionGuy: Upon realizing just how much he is this, the others just hand him a crossbow. He makes up for it in other ways.
529* NotBloodSiblings: He and Salla aren't blood related at all. You'd almost never know it.
530* MassiveNumberedSiblings: Not related by blood, but still considers the other children rescued by Evelina to be part of his extended family. When he needs an alias, he quickly claims to be Kels' brother.
531%%* RefugeInAudacity: He makes his father and his favorite uncle very proud.
532* TalkingYourWayOut: And if it doesn't work, he'll talk you into letting him cook and then drug you.
533* TeamChef: Is noted to be able to make ship rations taste good.
534* UtilityPartyMember: In a fight he has to be protected, but when they need a distraction or to get out of a situation without fighting, he's their guy.
535%%* WhatTheHellHero: Gives one to Loghain.
536[[/folder]]
537
538[[folder: Agatha Amell]]
539--> ''Well, the last guy we kidnapped is having such a grand time of it we thought we'd share the experience.''
540Adopted daughter of Lenore, Zevran, and Brosca. She's an elf whose mother was made tranquil and later vanished. [[spoiler: In the future, she's Ferelden's spymaster, though she on paper she works for King Trian of Kal'Hirol]]
541* ChildhoodFriends: She and Salla met just after the events of [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060639/chapters/13893330 Rise of the Champion]] and have been best friends ever since. Though there is no biological relation they clearly consider each other cousins.
542* ClassyCatburglar: Is introduced pulling a heist, though it's subverted a little when it becomes apparent she was actually just after Lenore's candy stash. Which happens often enough that Lenore has started taking the precaution of warding it.
543* CombatParkour: Utilizes some, being able to run across the rooftops and keep pace with the sentinels
544* FamilyOfChoice: Isn't biologically related to any of her family
545* FemmeFatale: Is noted to play one at times after she grows into her roll as spymaster, and is noted to be very beautiful
546* KnightInShiningArmor: Sees Jerath as this, and is very willing to be the [[LadyAndKnight lady to his knight]]
547* HappilyAdopted: By Zevran, Brosca, and Lenore, after her mother was turned tranquil and vanished during the mage rebellion.
548* PrecociousCrush: The younger version of Jerath Gilmore turns rather awkward when she's around. She's clearly fond of him though, and after his PlotRelevantAgeUp falls hard.
549* PoliticallyActivePrincess: 'Princess' might be a strong term but she's a daughter of one of Kal'Hirol's most powerful dwarven houses despite being an elf.
550* TheSpymaster: Grows into one.
551* WeirdnessMagnet: Observes that being adopted doesn't seem to have stopped her, Salla, and Caleb from inheriting that particular Amell/Hawke family curse
552[[/folder]]
553
554[[folder: Jerath Gilmore]]
555--> ''Run.''
556Son of Rory Gilmore and Nesiara, and was raised in the royal palace alongside Duncan, whom he views as a younger brother.

558%%* BadassNormal: And holds his own against sentinels
559* BigBrotherInstinct: Though they aren't actually related, he's had this to Duncan for his entire life, having started protecting Duncan when Duncan was born and Jerath was five.
560* CrisisOfFaith: His death seems to have caused him to suffer one. He is clearly no longer Andrastian afterward [[spoiler: And he starts using capital letters when talking about Urthemiel and The Warden]]
561%% How does he die? * CruelAndUnusualDeath: And the poor guy remembers every moment.
562* FieryRedhead: Averted. He's got red hair, but he's probably the most level of the next generation to the point of being the OnlySaneMan
563* FourStarBadass: His title is general, and he's officially the leader of Ferelden's entire military.
564%% Who are his parents? Who does he romance? * InterspeciesRomance: Is the product of one. Later has his own.
565%%* MasterSwordsman
566* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Though no one questions his loyalty to Duncan, he is not this. He'll obey Duncan, but that doesn't change that he will call him out. Or punch him in the face, if the need arises.
567-->''"Jerath, why is it whenever you say 'with all due respect' what I hear is 'kiss my arse'?"''
568--> ''"You are capable of understanding subtext?"''
569* ObliviousToLove: Isn't this. He's pretending not to notice Agatha's attraction to him due to the situation and not wanting to break her heart.
570* PrecociousCrush: Had one on Agatha when he was eight years younger than her. Now he's eight years older.
571%%* ProperlyParanoid
572* RuggedScar: Earned protecting Duncan.
573* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler: Shared with Dorian. Their deaths mean play time is over and the kids are about to get dangerous.]]
574* ShooTheDog: Tries to do this with Agatha and fails.
575* TakingTheBullet: Has done this for Duncan in the past. [[spoiler: Does it again, leading to his death.]]
576* WhenHeSmiles: Being TheStoic, he doesn't smile often. When he does, Agatha goes weak in the knees.

579[[folder: Loghain Mac Tir II]]
580--> ''Some men think they are gifts from the gods. I, on the other hand, actually am.''
581Son of Anora Mac Tir and [[spoiler: Anders,]] and grandson to Loghain Mac Tir I, Loghain is one of the Dragonsworn and married to Princess Wynne.
582* CallBack: If you played [[spoiler: ''Awakenings'', it's not hard to figure out who Loghain's real father is prior to the in story reveal]]
583* TheCharmer: Will flirt with pretty much anyone, but avoids being TheCasanova by noting that he does have rules he plays by. He flat out rejects the suggestion that he use the fact he's sleeping with Alai to manipulate her.
584* ChivalrousPervert: Lenore can't figure out how he could possibly be related to his namesake.
585* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Is goofy, snarky, and content to let Leandra and Jerath play the heavies, but when the blades come out Loghain will remind you he is one of the Dragonsworn.
586%%* DemonicPossession: A benevolent version.
587* DoubleEntendre: Can turn anything into this.
588* GlowingEyes: Has these when he has to call upon his companion.
589* GuileHero: Dips into this from time to time.
590* HappilyMarried: Oddly enough, he and Wynne are this.
591* HeroicBastard: Is the son of the still unmarried Anora [[spoiler: and Anders]].
592* ImplacableMan: His spirit companion lets him be one. Guy can keep going even after suffering massive amounts of damage and he can shrug off some of the magic thrown at him.
593* LikeFatherLikeSon: Enough that if you've actually played the games, you can figure out who his actual father is quickly.
594* MysticalPregnancy: Is the result of one, as Anora was barren until either Razikale or Mythal intervened a little. It's heavily implied that it was Razikale, meaning on some level Loghain and Kieran are siblings. Urthemiel actually calls him brother, and Razikale later echos this, telling Loghain to 'return to his brother' when releasing him from service.
595* NiceGuy: Despite everyone affectionately calling him an asshole, they all like him and he's able to get along with all the factions.
596* TheSnarkKnight: There really isn't anyone Loghain won't poke fun at.
597[[/folder]]
598
599[[folder: Leandra Hawke]]
600--> ''Told you. I'm not the dangerous one''
601Eldest child of Carver Hawke and Merrill. She's a warrior who has been romantically involved with Gavren since they were very young.
602* AmazonianBeauty: Gavren clearly thinks so.
603* BadassFamily: She's a Hawke, and a Hawke by blood no less.
604* BadassNormal: Despite being a warrior, she isn't one. She seems to have inherited at least some of her father's durability and super strength.
605* {{BFS}}: Much like her father, she wields one.
606* TheBigGuy: She's not as skilled as Jerath Gilmore, but packs a bigger punch than he does. She bisects one of her opponents vertically.
607* BodyguardingABadass: Gavren is possibly the most powerful mage in Thedas. She protects him.
608* ChildhoodFriendRomance: First met when they were about 4 years old.
609* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: She was about 6 or so when she decided she was going to marry Gavren. He pretty much just accepted it as his fate, though it's clear they genuinely love each other.
610* DeclarationOfProtection: Gave one to Gavren
611* InterspeciesRomance: Is the product of one, being she's the child of Carver and Merrill
612* LadyAndKnight: She and Gavren are a gender inverted version.
613%%* LadyOfWar
614* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Her relationship with Gavren has shades of this.
615* OverTheShoulderCarry: After observing Jerath Gilmore sweeping Agatha up into his arms in a BridalCarry, she tries to get Gavren to do the same to her. He does this instead, to her frustration. Though given she's an AmazonianBeauty it is possible it's the only way Gavren could carry her off. She's able to do an EffortlessAmazonianLift on him, after all.
616* ShipperOnDeck: Very eager to get Kieran and Salla together again in the alternate timeline. Not at all subtle about it.
617* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: To Gavren.
618* WomenAreDelicate: Averted. She chases qunari down, waving a massive two-handed sword, to explain to them just how wrong they are.
619[[/folder]]
620
621[[folder: Kels Marland]]
622--> ''Your father is going to kill me.''
623One of Evelina's orphans, taken in by the templars and practically adopted by Cullen, whom he views as a mentor / brother figure. [[spoiler: In the future, he's holding the rank of commander himself and seems to be holding Cullen's old Inquisition rank while Cullen himself is the co-Inquisitor.]]
624* ActionSurvivor: Starts as one back in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060639/chapters/13893330 Rise of the Champions]], and grows into a BadassNormal.
625* AscendedExtra: Is one in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6422530/chapters/14702317 Bloodlines]]
626* BadassBureaucrat: His job with the Inquisition is Cullen's personal runner and attache. Gavren notes that on one occasion Kels was more upset that he got an assassin's blood on a report after killing them than he was over the fact he got attacked be assassins.
627* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Courtesy of Turana and Kieran in Vathran's world, though it was all in good fun most of the time and there was clearly mutual adoration there.
628* BadassNormal: In Vathran's world, he's willing to face down the Inquisitor and no few templars to give Turana and Kieran time to flee. [[spoiler: It's clear failing damn near broke him.]]
629* BigBrotherInstinct: Has one toward Gavren. And in Vathran's world, he develops it toward Turana and Kieran providing most of that story's heartwarming moments. In Tan's world it's also clear he has it toward Eben and Minaeve.
630* DoubleAgent: Despite having been kidnapped, he isn't this.
631* KidnappedByTheCall: Repeatedly reminds the others that they kidnapped him. He goes along willingly anyway, to protect Gavren.
632* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Is this in Vathran's world, at the hands of none other than poor Cullen]]
633* NumberTwo: Goes from Cullen's preferred runner to this between ''Inquisition'' and ''Apocalypse''. Though he's more a younger version of Cullen than a foil. By ''Bloodlines'' it's clear Cullen full on considers him a little brother and Gavren calls him Uncle Kels.
634* MagicalGirlfriend: In ''Inquisition'' he's crushing hard on Minaeve. In ''Bloodlines'' they are together, and Gavren notes that they are married with two kids in his timeline.
635* MyGreatestFailure: He's clearly still harboring some guilt over the fate of Evelina in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII''. [[spoiler: In [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6459202/chapters/14782822 What's the Worst that Could Happen]] failing to protect Kieran causes him to break down to the point he's throwing punches at Cullen.]]
636* OnlySaneMan: Is the one pointing out just how crazy what the kids are doing is, but his sanity is questionable since he goes along anyway.
637* ThisIsNoTimeToPanic: Isn't sure, so asks permission before panicking. Also panics very calmly and quietly.
638* UndyingLoyalty: Has this toward Cullen. He's more afraid of disappointing Cullen than he is of dying horribly.
639--> '''Gavren:''' You want to walk away, Leandra and I won't follow. We shouldn't have dragged you into this in the first place.
640--> '''Kels:''' How dare you? You think there is anything in this world that could make me go to Commander Cullen and tell him his son is in danger and I walked away?
641[[/folder]]
642
643[[folder: Trian Saitada]]
644--> ''What kind of a dwarf do you think I am, magic?''
645Adopted son and heir of Saitada Aeducan, and son of Zerlinda, whom Jerath helped out in Orzammar. [[spoiler: In the future, he's ruling Kal'Hirol]]
646%% What tasks? * BoringButPractical: Handles these tasks for the party.
647* DoubleAgent: Leaves messages behind so the others can trail the kids.
648* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: At one point finds himself taking orders from a squirrel.
649* NonActionGuy: He's not bad with his weapons and will go into battle alongside his friends, but he's clearly not an accomplished warrior and would really prefer it if he had to do less fighting for his life.
650* OnlySaneMan: Trian seems to be the only one of the kids who actually realizes how dangerous things are.
651* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Continually reminds Caleb this isn't true.
652* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Isn't yet, but will someday be king of Kal'Hirol.
653* SurroundedByIdiots: Clearly feels this way at various points of ''Bloodlines''.
654* UndyingLoyalty: Claims this toward Kieran, due to how much Trian owes Kieran's father.
655[[/folder]]
656
657[[folder: Tisallan ]]
658--> ''Dirthari, believe me when I say arguing with that child is an exercise in futility.''
659Ancient Elven Sentinel who acts as a protector, mentor, and occasionally grandfather to the kids. [[spoiler: He also happens to be the younger half-brother of none other than Solas.]]
660* AmazonChaser: In Kathan's reality, his reaction to meeting Cassandra is to ask if she's single.
661* BadassFamily: [[spoiler: He's Solas' younger half-brother.]]
662* BadassTeacher: Becomes one of these when Duncan puts him in charge of Ferelden's university.
663* BrokenPedestal: Solas may be this to him. [[spoiler: In Kathan's reality it becomes apparent he once adored his big brother, and even in this canon reality he states that Solas was once a hero.]]
664* BystanderSyndrome: [[spoiler: In ''Not The Herald'' it's revealed he is the one that hid the orb away, meaning Tisallan could have changed a lot about history if he'd chosen to do so.]] When he finally does choose to get involved, he's clearly a powerhouse.
665%%* CoolOldGuy
666* CulturedWarrior: In addition to being an excellent fighter, he's also a talented musician and poet. Of course, he is a few thousand years old. He's had time to branch out.
667* DeadpanSnarker: Enough that it's possible he's also an ancestor of Jerath Tabris.
668* DefectorFromDecadence: He makes it clear he has no interest in returning to the elves 'glory days'. He was one of the rebels before he joined the sentinels, and doesn't join the sentinels that went to Solas.
669--> Fuck Arlathan. I want a better world.
670* DualWielding: Magic swords.
671* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Despite being Solas's brother, he is not one of the sentinels that goes to join him.]]
672* HeartbrokenBadass: His wife has been dead for over two thousand years. It's clear he still loves her.
673* TheLancer: It's hinted he may have once been this to Solas. [[spoiler: Turns out he was the one who retrieved the orb and put it in Mythal's temple.]]
674* NotSoAboveItAll: He's pretty stoic and deadpan, but it's clear he does have a rather mischievous sense of humor.
675* NoBadassToHisValet: In ''Not the Herald'', he punches Solas in the face. Unlike others who have done this, Tisallan knew exactly who Solas was when he took the swing.
676%%* MagicKnight: Original flavor, no less.
677* OldMaster: They don't get much older. He's nearly to the other sentinels what the sentinels are to the Dalish.
678* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Most of them by millenia, the last one very recently. The kids seem to become ReplacementGoldfish for him.
679* PapaWolf: More like Grandpa, but if you mess with the kids he will end you.
680* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Has a good one. Loghain promptly steals it.
681--> If the gods intended mercy, they would not have sent me.
682* RevengeBeforeReason: Subverts. Does not go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge because, as he points out, once you start one its hard to know when to stop.
683* TricksterMentor: Has a few shades of this. [[spoiler:Turns out to be a family trait.]]
684* ZenSurvivor: Combined with StoicWoobie . This is a man who has lost everything, and is still fighting the good fight.
685[[/folder]]
686
687[[folder: Alai]]
688--> ''Elves to the rescue''
689A sentinel who joins the party, and finds herself genuinely forming friendships with these crazy future people.
690* ActionGirl: Has been one for centuries.
691* CoolBigSis: Practically adopts Agatha as a little sister.
692* FaceDeathWithDignity: Does this so Loghain can pull Caleb to safety.
693* {{Immortality}}: As the well has been destroyed, she is now aging at a normal rate.
694* KilledOffForReal: Though her body wasn't found, Solas confirmed her death.
695* NotSoAboveItAll: Teaches Agatha how to write rude words in elvish, so Agatha can write them on the face of an unconscious Duncan.
696* MagicKnight: Heavy on the knight.
697* MayDecemberRomance: She and Loghain shared a mutual attraction, and a 'what the hell' type of moment turned into a relationship.
698* UndyingLoyalty: Once she and her fellow sentinels agree to protect the kids, they have this

703A dwarven engineer that Jerath recruits to help with his insane schemes.
704* GadgeteerGenius: Not quite at the same level as Dagna, but less likely to get distracted.
705* MadBomber: Averted. He may be the most level-headed of the Dragonsworn
706%%* PairTheSmartOnes
707%%* TheSmartGuy
708* StuffBlowingUp: Pretty much why the Order keeps him around.

712[[folder: Vigilance]]
713The demon that possessed Jerath from age four to age sixteen, now returned as a spirit to aid the party.
714* AscendedDemon: Used to be a rage demon. TookALevelInBadass when he became a spirit of purpose
715* BewareTheNiceOnes: Push him, and he will remind you that he was a rage demon for a few millenia
716* BigBrotherInstinct: In [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6404716/chapters/14662294 The Dark Path]] he immediately displays this toward Cole. He has it toward Dagna as well, though that may be influenced by everyone else in the Order having it toward Dagna.
717* BrainUploading: [[spoiler: in the worlds where Loghain was left behind, Vigilance essentially got Loghain's soul uploaded into him. Parts of his personality and memories remain, but otherwise he was overwritten by Loghain]]
718* DeadpanSnarker: The Order influences his behavioral traits. Naturally, he's fairly snarky.
719* DemonicPossession: He's the demon. At various times, he possesses all the members of the Order
720* GoodFeelsGood: He was officially turned from demon to spirit during the Broken Circle quest line in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5888488/chapters/13571914 Origin of the Dragon]], but even before then he was starting to experience this due to Jerath's actions.
721* GuardianAngel: Particularly toward the weaker members of the Order. He seems to be especially fond of Dagna, providing her with comfort in addition to protection.
722* {{Imprinting}}: He starts off with just Jerath, but it's clear he picks up various traits from the rest of the Order after possessing them. He doesn't like Orlesians.
723* OurAngelsAreDifferent: He models his appearance on the person he used to possess, meaning he looks and sounds like a fifteen year old spirit version of Jerath. Unlike Cole, however, Vigilance cannot mimic mortal form other than the shape. His manifestations are quite clearly a spirit. [[spoiler: Until he bonds with Loghain, but even then he just looks like Loghain]]
724* UndyingLoyalty: To the Order. He several times risks the destruction of his personality to come to their aid, [[spoiler: and effectively dies defending Loghain Or Hawke, depending on the reality]]

728A qunari scholar the group meets and impresses enough that they are later able to recruit her to help.
729%%* AdventurerArchaeologist
730* BadassBookworm: The fact that they recruited her for her brains doesn't change that she can probably kick your ass
731* GentlemanAndAScholar: For a Qunari, she's very open-minded.
732%%* PairTheSmartOnes
733* StatuesqueStunner: She is a Qunari.

740* DistressedDude: Has to be rescued by the Wardens after trying to find evidence against Tan in his IdiotBall moment
741* IOweYouMyLife: It's not his own life, but it's clear that Dorian won his UndyingLoyalty by saving Minaeve.
742* IntertwinedFingers: Dorian holds his hand a lot in a gesture that seems at least somewhat protective.
743* LoveInterest: Serves as Dorian's in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6404716/chapters/14662294 The Dark Path]]
744* NonActionGuy: He knows what end of a sword to hold, but he's clearly no warrior.

749* PersonalMook: Essentially ends up as Dorian's.
750* SexForSolace: Combined with DrowningMySorrows. He and Dorian share a drink and wake up in bed together. Dorian feels terrible over it due to Eben's age and subordinate position but Eben clearly falls for Dorian at that point. They eventually have a RelationshipUpgrade
751* StraightGay: Dorian only figures out Eben is gay when Eben mentions he was involved with one of the missing runners.

755A former werewolf who sought out the wardens after being restored to human and realizing she couldn't return to her past life.
756* AmazonianBeauty: Keenan thinks so.
757* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: After the werewolf curse is lifted, she goes looking for the Wardens.
758* DeathByDespair: Performs a HeroicSacrifice without hesitation because she's unable to get over the loss of her friends and lover, making it more DrivenToSuicide than DyingMomentOfAwesome.
759* HalfHumanHybrid: Retains a few traits from her werewolf days.
760* HeartbrokenBadass: Loses her team and her lover, but fights on despite crossing the DespairEventHorizon.
761* JumpedAtTheCall: Volunteers to join the Wardens.
762* OddFriendship: With The Messenger. She's a Warden, he's a darkspawn.
763* OppositesAttract: She's a peasant veteran of the rebellion. Keenan is an Orlesian of noble birth. They form a BattleCouple
764* StrongGirlSmartGuy: She's the stronger of the pair due to the fact she's an ex-werewolf and he's missing a leg, and he tends to do most of the talking.

784%%* AFatherToHisMen
785* FriendshipMoment: Despite everything, his reaction to learning Jerath is alive is to hug his friend and then back him up completely.
786* GenerationXerox: He's very similar to his father, Maric. His son looks so much like him that Alistair's old friends occasionally call Duncan by his name.
787* TheGoodKing: Even Loghain is willing to admit it
788* HappilyMarried: To Cathiel.
789%%* KnightTemplar

802* BattleCouple: Only fights at Ruya's side a few times, but when he does they are definitely this.
803* BigBrotherMentor: Fills this role for Kels.
804* BigBrotherInstinct: Shows this toward some of the people in his life, including some of the Inquisitors.
805* TheComicallySerious: Is surrounded by goofballs. Occasionally reveals he's NotSoAboveItAll , particularly in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6451912/chapters/14766025 Not The Herald]], where he just calmly starts pranking Kathan back.
806* ConsummateProfessional: Is more relaxed by ''Bloodlines'', but still has shades of this.
807* DotingParent: His opening scene in ''Bloodlines'' is cuddling his infant daughter.
808* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Fluctates between this and BadassNormal depending on lyrium.
809* AFatherToHisMen: Shares this with his wife, and the Inquisition's soldiers return it with UndyingLoyalty.
810* FamilyOfChoice: In several of the alterate worlds, he's still companions with the Inquisitor and a beloved honorary uncle to their children.

813* GoodIsNotSoft: It's heavily implied that he killed Sir Karras.
814* HappilyMarried: To Ruya.
815%%* KnightInShiningArmor

818* MustNotDieAVirgin: He's not actually a virgin, but Kathan hassles him about this anyway.

820* PapaWolf: His son Gavren is able to go toe to toe with Fen'Harel. Cullen's going to protect him anyway.
821* TookALevelInBadass: Was a BrokenBird in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5888488/chapters/13571914 Origin of the Dragon]].

824[[folder: Loghain Mac Tir]]
825--> "I hated Orlais. I wanted revenge. And so I betrayed my king and, were it not for the commander, would have ensured Ferelden's utter destruction. So perhaps you should ask yourself, young man, what it is the Commander has sent you here to learn."
826* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The fact that Jerath treats him with respect eventually develops into Loghain showing him UndyingLoyalty [[spoiler: Literally. The man comes back from the dead to keep following Jerath]]
827* CoolOldGuy: Takes a while, but he mellows into one
828* DefeatMeansFriendship: Jerath delivered him a sound thrashing at the Landsmeet. Jerath is the only one of the initial Wardens Loghain actually likes, though he does eventually develop some respect for the others.
829* DemonicPossession: A rather strange case [[spoiler: After he 'dies' in the Fade, his soul merges with Vigilance. He's not actually possessed, he now is a demon / spirit]]
830* TheLancer: Serves as one to Jerath at times, but rather than step up when Jerath is away he instead becomes this to Nathaniel. Loghain learned the hard way he makes a better second than he does a leader.

839--> ''Talsaad:'' You'll have to excuse Nathaniel. He has a thing for pretty women who can kick his ass.
840* BewareTheQuietOnes: Shares this trait with Jerath. Helps that they don't need to actually speak aloud to work together in perfect tactical harmony
841* DeadpanSnarker: He and Jerath are prone to engaging in SnarkToSnarkCombat.
842* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Becoming a Warden gave him one.
843* EmpoweredBadassNormal: In addition to becoming a Gray Warden, whatever the Architect did to him in [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6060589/chapters/13893241 Awakening of the Dragon]] allows him to enter and control the Fade like a mage does. [[spoiler: It's hinted he is carrying a portion of Razikale's soul.]]
844* GoodIsNotNice: Though a moral man, he is an assassin skilled at using poison.
845* TheLancer: He's Jerath's right hand man and second in command, and the one that steps up as the leader when Jerath is otherwise occupied.
846* OddFriendship: Despite the history between them and him blaming Jerath for his father's death, it doesn't take long for Nathaniel to end up Jerath's best friend. It's clear by the end of ''Awakening'' Nathaniel is one of the few Jerath trusts without reservation.
847* PsychicLink: He and Jerath have one due to what the Architect did in ''Awakening'' . They always know where the other is and can read each others minds with a little concentration.

849* TallDarkAndSnarky: And grumpy, now and then.
850* UndyingLoyalty: Toward Jerath.

855* AlwaysSecondBest: It used to give him a lot of issues, until he grew up
856* BigBrotherInstinct: Is the younger sibling, but has this toward Hawke. It may be a Hawke family trait, because he shows it towards members of the Order as well.

858* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: After he's fatally wounded by Anduril, Merrill uses his blood to kill a couple elven goddesses with a volcano]]
859* KnightTemplar: Jerath trained him as a templar to make him a better Warden
860* OddCouple: Hates magic and has templar skills. Marries a blood mage.
861* OneManArmy: In ''Bloodlines'', he proves able to tear through a squad of qunari by himself. With his bare hands. Then again, he is a Hawke
862* PapaWolf: You thought he was dangerous before? Try messing with his little girl. If she doesn't kill you, he will.
863* SiblingYinYang: His brother is one of the most powerful mages in Thedas. Naturally, Carver becomes a powerful templar
864* TookALevelInBadass: A few after joining the order, to the point that he may actually be more dangerous than his brother when he cuts loose.

870* ColdBloodedTorture: Has suffered this more than once [[spoiler: And in Tan's reality, inflicts it a few times]]
871* HeartbrokenBadass: Until Brehan's return
872* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Perhaps her most brutal tendency. She is willing to do horrible things for what she is convinced is the greater good.
873* SickeninglySweethearts: She and Brehan do things like randomly start waltzing in the hallways, or spontaneous duets. Josephine deeply approves
874* TookALevelInJerkass: Does some terrible things for the greater good, which causes Brehan to eventually leave her despite the fact they still clearly love each other. [[spoiler: In Tan's world, she goes so far as to allow Brehan to be tortured for information]]

880* GoodParents / HappilyMarried: She, Jerath, and Kieran are clearly a warm and loving family.
881* LoveRedeems: It could be said that she and Jerath redeem each other, and somehow manage to make each other better people
882* NoSocialSkills: She and Jerath at first bond because of their shared anti-social tendencies
883* MindlinkMates: She and Jerath pick up on each others moods and tend to react when something major happens to the other
884* TheTease: Even after she's with Jerath, though he doesn't seem to mind. There is a bit of a DoubleStandard though, as very early on she starts to be extremely possessive of him.
885* TookALevelInKindness: While she's still snarky and has a low tolerance for fools, she's clearly on the side of good and warm to her friends.
886* UnequalPairing: She and Jerath look like this at first, as he's nearly a decade younger than she is and barely an adult by the standards of the world.
887[[/folder]]
888
889[[folder: Flemeth]]
890* AffablyEvil: Still snarky and definitely on the darker side of gray morality, but it appears her overall goals were benevolent.
891* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She is much more cordial to Jerath than the others, because he was the one who was polite to her.

893* CrypticConversation: A lot of her interactions with Jerath take on a new light after the reveal.
894* EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite having raised Morrigan as a sociopath, she's clearly happy that both Jerath and Morrigan have developed strong moral stances.
895* TakingUpTheMantle: [[spoiler: Leaves Jerath with a MacGuffin so Mythal can be transferred to Morrigan, and Jerath and Morrigan may well be carrying on her work.]]
896* ThePlan: Jerath fully acknowledges he is her pawn, and seems at least somewhat accepting of it.
897* TricksterMentor: To both Jerath and Morrigan.

901* BadassAdorable: She's one of the dragonsworn.

903* EveryonesBabySister: To the dragonsworn, though her skills and tendency to stay at the base keep her from being a TagalongKid

905* MoralityPet: May be this for Jerath.
