irving: duncan, you’re scaring the girl with talk of blights and darkspawn this is a happy day for her.

nimona: nooo i wanted to listen to drakspawn facts :(

#she didnt say that out loud. #but she was disappointed she couldn’t just pick duncan’s brain about darkspawn and take notes #see nimona is very studious and soft spoken. and very obedient to try and avoid scrutiny #esp since her long term goal is to reasearch demons and abominations and possession and thralldom to find a cure/counter measures #my surana and tabris are similar in that they do alot of trying to manage other’s opinions on them #surana makes herself seem the picture of compliant and unassuming while tabris is easygoing and funny- generally they both try to come off #as nonthreatening. though they can both be scary when they want to be. #surana is more unassuming while tabris is more personable. meanwhile my brosca’s more rough exterior and intimidating from the get go since #her job in the carta was to intimidate/beat up people into paying their due. #and seeming scary is probably how she kept people from hurting rica or her mom. so she needs to come off as confident and tough #its fun bc they all get to be more outspoken and vulnerable about how they’re feeling once becoming grey wardens. (tabris and brosca could #be open with family sometimes but they both tended to downplay their own struggles to not worry them) #surana opened up to jowan a little bit but she internalized most things and tends to be matter-of-fact and problem solving focused rather #than actually telling people how she felt and why she felt that way. #i also hc that the enchanters kept her kind of busy with studying (esp since irving was rushing her harrowing) so she didnt talk to ppl much #and then she lies to irving and helps jowan escape (bc sure if she doesnt she wont put herself in danger and jeopardize her research but if #she lets the kinds of things she’s seeking to prevent happen to people for the sake of herself and her research then what IS she actually #accomplishing) also jowan’s her only friend and her sister was also a mage and became an abomination during her harrowing. so theres a kinda #i cant lose anyone like that again kind of thing happening. #also i know that technically theres already the ritual to save connor and the litany of adralla as cures for possession and countermeasure #for thralldom respectively. she’s searching for abomination cures and easier to access ways to cure the others.
