I thought maybe I could say something. Tell you what a rare and wonderful thing you are to find amidst all this… darkness.

Personally, I'd recommend skipping the first chapter but here's Elissa's full story, more or less. (There are also ficlets in the series.) Posted as promised earlier for some Elissa's Birthday Spam. (Portrait by @queendread)
(it's Elissa's birthday today, it's my birthday tomorrow, and I haven't promo'd this fic in like 12 years so I figure why not?)

“Lords and Ladies, I present the Warden-Commander of Ferelden and Arl of Amaranthine”
I present my canon Hero of Ferelden:
Lady Ashira Cousland, The Hero of Ferelden, Champion of Redcliffe, Warden-Commander of Ferelden, Arlessa of Amaranthine, Vanquisher of the Old God Urthemiel, Veteran of the Fifth Blight, and Chancellor to King Alistair
I’m absolutely blown away by how this commission turned out!!

If Elissa were in SWTOR, who would she be?
OHHHH. Oh. Hmmm. That's a really good question.
I feel like the obvious answer given her sense of rebellion and feelings of inadequacy and the question about whether the vaguely supernatural inclinations of the Grey Wardens would count as a reflection of Force powers, I think the answer is this:
She is the daughter of a political dynasty, possibly Alderaanian, possibly Corellian, very powerful, very established within the Republic. Being a Senator is essentially an inherited position at this point in time, you know the sort. I specify Alderaan or Corellia in particular because it needs to be somewhere that the Empire hit hard and fast, causing the death of her family and the initial trauma at the outset like the Cousland origin
A Jedi a la Duncan is present to help save her, notices her latent Force abilities which were either too weak to warrant formal training as a child or her family paid to have the Jedi look the other way. Things are dire, Jedi numbers are in freefall with the ongoing war, she gets plucked out of the ruins of home and told "congratulations you're a Jedi now, go kill people for the Republic"
Which is to say I think she'd be the Jedi Knight storyline, dark-side aligned, but the DS JK is a bit too sassy and snarky for her in game so it'd be with caveats. It even makes sense that you get given a powerful assistant/padawan immediately in Kira, because that mirrors how Elissa had Alistair and Leliana propping her up or outright doing shit for her when she mentally retreated

The Maker smiles sadly on his Grey Wardens, as no sacrifice is greater than theirs.

In All But Name - Satinalia
He’d bought her a gift.  
Or rather, he’d commissioned her a gift, since his days of walking into shops and simply buying things appeared to be over.  
It was stupid really. He knew she was dealing with the rebuilding of Amaranthine and wouldn’t be able to tear herself away time for them to see each other around the holiday, but he’d done it anyway.
It was a small thing – a token really – but he’d happened to see something similar being sold in the marketplace when he’d rode through in the middle of the damned parade that had (for some reason) been necessary and it had reminded him of her.  
The version in the marketplace had been green and gold with jewels made of glass. The version he’d had made was rendered in sapphires and diamonds because, void, if he was going to be king, he figured he might as well use his sudden and unexpected wealth to spoil the woman he loved, even if he had to do it in secret.
On the surface it seemed like a simple hairpin. Arguably, the jewels made it somewhat less simple, but still, it seemed like an ordinary hairpin.  
In truth, concealed within the pin was a small dagger. Nothing more than the slimmest of throwing knives really but at the click of a small button on the back the blade would slide free.  
He’d seen her throw knives before. Like a great many things, she was very, very good at it. Of course, he would always remember the throwing knife of hers that had embedded itself in his thigh at the top of Fort Drakon. An insanely precise throw that had stopped him taking the final blow against the Archdemon in her stead.  
Now having seen her in her finery at the ball celebrating the end of the blight, he couldn’t help but marvel at how completely she could inhabit both worlds. She could be every inch the wealthy noble lady one night, and back to the warrior he’d initially fallen in love with the next.  
It was what made the hairpin the perfect present.  
Beautiful and deadly, just like her.  
The problem was, now that he’d got it, when would he give it to her?

Dragon Age Origins Season 1, Ep. 16: Witch Hunt [Human Noble]
Tumblr media
Two years later. Together with the fierce elf Ariane and the clever mage Finn, Elissa Cousland is searching for Morrigan and Alistair's child. It seems the witch herself is looking for ancient elven mirrors. But what does she want with them?

A Heart Desires Vengeance, please!
This is one of my ancient ones - rogue Warden Commander Elissa Cousland (and we mean rogue both ways - the stabby way, and the running from authorities way) has slipped the leash of Weisshaupt and scurries about Thedas trying all manner of illicit magics trying to reunite with Justice, unaware he's been bound to Anders
Avernus had been wondering for the better part of a day when she was planning on coming to see him; the keep was abuzz with the news of her silent arrival, emerging cold and alone from the labyrinthine tunnels that guarded the approach to Soldier’s Peak. She hadn’t sent word ahead to warn them of her impending return, and the last news they’d had from Amaranthine had been rather mundane. There was nothing to indicate why Elissa Cousland, Arlessa and Warden Commander, would risk the mountain roads by herself in the depths of winter, but Avernus was more than willing to wager that she was here for him.  What she wanted with him, well... a Warden Commander seeking out the assistance of a centuries old blood mage, whose very existence was a secret from everyone from the Chantry all the way to the First Warden himself? Whatever she wanted, she had to be desperate.
