fenris is always a little bit cold in the south, but especially at night. ergo, he's a massive blanket hog. if he's sharing a bed with someone, it doesn't matter if he falls asleep on the opposite side, he'll wake up curled against them (after stealing all their covers, of course).

anders is too tall for normal single beds, and after years of sleeping in bunks and cots he's taken up the habit of sleeping in a fetal position so his feet don't hang off the side of the bed. when he gets access to a bed that can actually fit him, he sprawls out across the whole thing.

anders is also a clingy sleeper. even if he's a little spoon, he insists on holding his big spoon's hands. you can't share a bed with him without him subconsciously moving to hold or be held.

isabela hums sea shanties to herself absent-mindedly when she's cooking, looting or doing her hair and makeup.

speaking of cooking - given time and the right ingredients, isabela can make incredibly delicious food. some of it's traditional rivaini dishes she learned as a kid, but a lot of it is just dishes she learned from a bunch of places as she travelled. she doesn't skimp on the spice though, which initially leaves everyone except fenris going "oh fuck" after the first bite.

merrill is also a great cook, and fenris eventually learns to be a pretty good one. aveline makes pretty simple food, but it's tasty enough. anders' food is passable. varric's food is questionable, but edible while they're out on adventures. hawke is not allowed to cook. everything hawke manages to produce is borderline toxic. they could be making scrambled eggs and somehow fuck it up. bodahn and orana have both banned hawke from going near the stove in the mansion.

varric always smells nice. it's never an overly perfumed smell, either - he uses a herbal shampoo and soap that leaves a subtle smell all over him for hours.

merrill's got a bit of a thing for gorgeous handmade teapots, though living by herself in the alienage means she can't really afford them. if she moves in with hawke, she picks up a couple of really special ones that she makes tea out of every morning for breakfast.

merrill also loves embroidered shawls and patchwork quilts. her bed is covered in them.
