I was tagged by @marabrosca!
NAME: Amihan Alejandra Elena Amell
AGE: 18 at the beginning of DAO
SPECIES: Human Mage
GENDER: Cis female
ORIENTATION: Lesbian
INTERESTS, HOBBIES, PASTIMES: Learning new ways to use magic, improving magic skills (especially creation), reading history and mythology books (especially those that aren’t sanctioned by the Chantry), alchemy, bossing people around, going to new places with Leliana, listening to Leliana sing
SPECIALIZATION: Arcane warrior
BODY TYPE: Short, soft around the edges, especially the stomach area, thick thighs
EYES: Dark brown
HAIR: Black
SKIN: Dark olive
HEIGHT: 4′11
COMPANIONS: Morrigan was Amihan’s first best friend outside of the Circle, and until the very end when she left, she also grew very close to Zevran and continually spends time with him even until DAI, Wynne became a mother figure to her despite their clashing beliefs and wrote to each other until her death, Amihan and Alistair did not get along and had a mostly tumultuous relationship until the Landsmeet, where they finally meet in the middle and Alistair becomes one of her closest friends. Leliana is the love of Amihan’s life, and the person who helped her realize her worth - she stays by Leliana’s side and ultimately marries her before Leliana becomes the Divine. She also grew close to Anders, someone she’s known since she was in Kinloch and considers him an older brother.
COLOURS: Red, dark blues and gray
SMELLS : Lyrium dust, parchment, sweat, and herbs
FRUITS: Oranges and apples
DRINKS : Water and fruit juices
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Wine sometimes. She never really developed a taste for those things
SMOKES: No
BAD HABITS: Judgmental, always quick to anger, stubborn, blunt to the point of being cruel, keeps emotions bottled up, can be selfish
GOOD HABITS: Very loyal, once you prove your trust she will never leave you, often thinks before going into something, makes plans for different outcomes, always striving to be a better version of herself
What do they say about themselves?
“I’m gay” jk
“I’m not really anything to clamor at. It was all just circumstance. But as I’ve grown, I realize my position should be used to fix what is broken. But please do not hail me as a hero as I do not deserve such praise.”
Initially, Amihan believes she is worthless and cursed, despite not really believing in the maker. She thinks her only purpose is to live quietly and survive. Despite being self-aware about her coldness, she believed she was better than anyone she disliked.
Amihan’s coldness eventually warms, though her steely exterior never really goes away. She is a lot less selfish, but does not view herself as a hero and hates the title. She prefers just being the person who can hopefully make change where there needs to be.

Dragon Age Questions
I was tagged by @cullenvhenan and @gothkimmyschmidt ! Thanks babes!
Tagging: @drellvhen @lyrium-lovesong @dalish-ish @ghostwise and @empresstress13 (no obligation, of course!)
01) Favourite game of the series?
Overall, Inquisition. The CC is pretty good, hair options notwithstanding. I think the story adds an incredible amount of lore. I actually don’t mind the open world aspect, it truly doesn’t feel any more empty that Skyrim imo.
DA2 had the most fun combat for me. Origins had a bunch of elements I like but I played it so far after it’s release that it’s always going to be visually dated in my head and not in an endearing way.
02) How did you discover Dragon Age?
My partner let me borrow some games when we first started dating, Dragon Age Origins among them. I played it, really enjoyed it, but moved on to a few other games in the stack like Fable and ME3.
The summer of 2017, I think, I saw him playing DA2 and wanted in. I tried it, didn’t like it, so he suggested Inquisition. And yeah, here we are. (I did go back and play DA2 after 1 & 3 and I liked it!)
03) How many times you’ve played the games?
DAO: 3?
DA2: 1.5
DAI: I’ve finished Trespasser twice, started a bunch of half-finished playthroughs though.
04) Favourite race to play as?
It’s fairly obvious that elves are my favorite. I feel no shame about that. They’re so damn cute.
05) Favourite class?
Rogue
06) Do you play through the games differently or do you make the same decisions each time?
I tend to make similar choices in DAI, but it’s definitely more fun to mix things up in the first two games.
07) Go-to adventuring group?
DAO: Leliana, Alistair, Shale.
DA2: Fenris, Isabela, Merrill.
DAI: Blackwall, Solas, and I usually mix it up between Dorian, Cassandra, and Sera.
08) Which of your characters did you put the most thought into?
Definitely Ayelet. I’ve spent the most time with her and her creation was in response to a character I wasn’t super happy with in the first place.
09) Favourite romance?
DAO: Alistair
DA2: Merrill’s is so so so cute.
DAI: Solas, which is no surprise to anyone.
10) Have you read any of the comics/books?
I’ve read some comics, am currently listening to the Masked Empire in audio book form but MY GOD is Weekes’s writing a slog to get through. I also have World of Thedas v2 and Hard in Hightown!
11) If you read them, which was your favourite book?
I absolutely love flipping through World of Thedas. The art, the obscure info, THE ENTIRE CHANT OF LIGHT
12) Favourite DLCs?
DAO: I’ve only played the DLC with Shale and tbh I doubt another one can top it.
DA2: Again, I’ve only played the one with Sebastian. And he’s bae anyway.
DAI: Jaws of Hakkon. The scenery is beautiful, the folks of Stone-bear Hold are gems, and the feels?? Perfection.
13) Things that annoy you.
The washed out look of DAO, and how very slow combat is.
I absolutely hate the look of elves in DA2. In Origins they barely have pointed ears, and suddenly they’re green toned, huge-eyed folks that don’t have any differentiation between their foreheads and nose bridge.
Some of the retcons on DAI are annoying. 3 mages per Dalish clan? That’s a no from me, dawg.
14) Orlais or Ferelden?
Considering all the beautiful land Orlais has usurped, I’d have to go with Orlais just for the scenery. However, the politics are Stupid.
15) Templars or mages?
Mages, but my characters typically aren’t concerned with the conflict between the two.
16) If you have multiple characters, are they in different/parallel universes or in the same one?
They’re all in the same universe! I only have one canon Warden, Champion, and Inquisitor, but the rest of my crew play roles within the same universe.
17) What did you name your pets? (mabari, summoned animals, mounts, etc)
The Warden’s mabari is Barkspawn (it’s a basic meme now, I know and I don’t care).
Ayelet has two pets: a cat named Vherise and her mount, a red hart called Nema.
18) Have you installed any mods?
I have a very very unorganized mod folder, yes.
19) Did your Warden want to become a Grey Warden?
No, Myri would never have chosen that life for herself outside of the circumstances of the game.
20) Hawke’s personality?
Purple.
21) Did you make matching armor for your companions in Inquisition?
No, I like when everyone sticks to their own aesthetic. I change their colorways a bit though. Sera gets black and pink everything. Viv gets the fancy silver fabric. Dorian looks so good in green.
22) If your character(s) could go back in time to change one thing, what would they change?
Myriani would have found some way for Jowan to escape. Ayelet would have tried to save her friends and clan mates at the conclave.
23) Do you have any headcanons about your character(s) that go against canon?
Not really as far as Myri is concerned. Even after DAO, the canon story of the Warden holds true for her. After a short period of traveling she becomes Warden-Commander of Ferelden, continues her relationship with Alistair, he goes to Orlais, eventually her higher-ups ask her to investigate a cure for the taint or at least the Calling in the West. And that suits my larger timeline just fine.
Ayelet has a few small differences. Mainly with regards to Dalish clan life and customs, her romance, and a lengthened timeline for Inquisition. How exactly are we meant to believe all of those things take place in only a year?????
24) Are any of your character(s) based on someone?
Ayelet is like 50% a self-insert, I guess. She has a different personality, and totally different face. But we have the same hair and some commonalities in background. It just makes it easy to get into her head.
25) Who did you leave in the Fade?
I leave Hawke. Meta af, but I feel like Hawke is supposed to be left there as part of their arc. Something tells me Hawke will survive while a warden might not.
26) Favourite mount?
Any of the harts. That screeching gives me life.

I don’t know if you guys are still active (?), but I’ve just found this blog now and I’m upset I didn’t find you earlier. I’ve been feeling extremely discouraged because the DA fandom is insanely white and my OCs never get the love despite the love i put into them. I’m Filipina and all my OCs are also
I feel kinda silly submitting some of my stuff, but this feels like a safe space to do it and it’s the kind of blog I want to have my OCs in
This is from my sideblog btw!
