matilda

1. What does their bedroom look like?

at home, not at skyhold: light wood floors, whitewash walls or very subtly patterned wallpapers. a big-ish bed with a Lot of blankets, quilts, pillows on it, but all mismatched. one wall is all bookshelves, and one wall is mostly window. lace curtains.cluttered to hell.

2. Do they have any daily rituals?

she tries very hard not to, just because circle life was so structured. especially during inquisition, what she’d being doing or when she’d wake up was pretty unpredictable. she makes breakfast every single day though, no matter when she eats it. sometimes she’s up early enough to help skyhold’s servants prepare it. sometimes she saunters into the kitchens at 11pm and makes pancakes for herself. a true enigma. 

3. Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?

k. kind of? she uses her staff like a quarterstaff or even a spear sometimes, because she figures she needs to know how to fight if she gets purged by a templar. so she trains with that. but she doesn’t go running or anything. just combat drills. 

4. What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?

depends on her mood. good mood, she’ll just squeeze in and help. bad mood, she’ll squeeze in and do whatever the fuck she wants. she’s usually considerate though. 

5. Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)

she’s clean but not particularly attentive to her looks. like, she takes a bath and then gets distracted and just lets her hair drip dry. she might remember to brush her hair. she makes her own perfume, though! 

she’s organized but not clean. like someone will be like “oh i need a quill” and she’ll be like “oh theres one under my bed just to the right of the bottom post closest to the door” she cleans up every few weeks and puts things back so it doesn’t get too bad, but in her day to day she cannot be arsed. 

6. Eating habits and sample daily menu

OH HOHOHO matilda eats Lavishly but she cooks it herself so it’s ok. she makes a lot of sweets and even if it isn’t supposed to be sweet, she makes it sweet. so she cooks pork a lot, just because it can handle being sweet. 

breakfast: honey amaranth bread with apricot jam, fresh raspberries, one (1) fried egg, and either bacon or beans depending on what’s available 

lunch: potato fish cakes, lemony asparagus, n a cream cheese griddle cake 

tea: lemon-cream tart, or sugar pears, or rosewater tea cakes with tea or juice

dinner: roasted duck, baked brie, idk some kind of veg, and meringue cake (like a pavlova)

i spent way too long in this and now im hungry. 

7. Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time

she usually wastes time by reading or going for a walk/ride. but she doesn’t really have a job so most of the things she does are like...useful in some way. except the kind of stuff she reads is wonderful trash sentimentalist make-you-cry novels. 

she knows the importance of taking care of herself and most of the other stuff she does is for other people, so she gives herself a day in bed with a book every now and then without any guilt. 

8. Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging

sweets, definitely, or otherwise decadent foods. and she doesn’t give a single shit. she cooks and she shares so people can die mad about it. 

9. Makeup?

naaaah. i mean, she wouldn’t even know where to start. josephine does her makeup for her before halamshiral. but on her own? she’s not at all invested in being pretty. i mean, she’s already just naturally pretty and it hasn’t exactly benefited her so. no. 

10. Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?

she’s pretty chill and reasonable idk? she keeps her study as she likes it and gets irritated if people move things around. 

rosanna

11. Intellectual pursuits?

she’s very much not an intellectual. she has some theological opinions, but they’re just opinions and she’s not some kind of chantry scholar. 

12. Favorite book genre?

she....can’t really read. she’d read romance novels if she did read, but tabloid magazines are more her thing. 

13. Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?

all my characters r bisexual, though rosanna definitely has a preference for men. she on that internalized heteronormativity. she’s one of those liberals who wishes everyone would just shut up about their various marginalized identities, so she’s not particularly sympathetic and....maybe a leetle homophobic. 

14. Physical abnormalities? (Both visible and not, including injuries/disabilities, long-term illnesses, food-intolerances, etc.)

she has faded scars on her hands and a tomato allergy. 

15. Biggest and smallest short term goal?

biggest, divorce her husband (oh hi i decided she and her creepy artist amoroso got married)

smallest would be like. humiliate lord so-and-so at this upcoming party. 

16. Biggest and smallest long term goal?

biggest, and i mean big ambitious thing she doesn’t even think about because it’s too big and scary and impossible, is to topple the institution of slavery in tevinter that literally ruined her life. 

smallest, visit antiva. 

17. Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress

whatever is fashionable. she’s known for personalizing her clothes, usually with intricate embroidery or hand-made lace. she wears lingerie a lot. 

18. Favorite beverage?

she drinks a lot of black tea with honey, but her favorite drink is champagne. 

19. What do they think about before falling asleep at night?

upcoming social events, generally? or like what she has to do tomorrow, what she neglected to get done today. 

20. Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?
