HISTORY/BIO

Delwyn is earnest and straightforward, the type to accept what she sees and question anything she doesn't/can't, a trait which has led her to actively questioning the Dalish pantheon multiple times. She wears the vallaslin as a cultural element rather than a religious one and tries her best to support her people, but she's focused on their future, not their past.She's a dagger rogue who looks young and innocuous and plays into that, but her combat style requires up close and personal kills, which took a while to transition to. Prior to becoming Inquisitor she helped defend her clan from attacks and worked to prepare the animals hunters brought down, but she was never good with a bow so she hadn't killed anything herself.She's playful and facetious with a bad habit of picking at people when she's stressed because she doesn't want to face her own problems/fears/doubts/etc. She's also somewhat selfish, although that doesn't lessen her desire to help others.She is drawn to Sera when she realizes they share a very similar perspective on elves—Sera's is more extreme, but Delwyn can understand her and is relieved to find someone else who just wants to look forward instead of back. However, Sera's dismissive attitude towards the Dalish gets Delwyn's hackles up at first and it takes them a while to find their way to a common ground.She's very close with Dorian, gets along well with Cassandra and Varric, fair with Josephine, Blackwall, Bull, and Cullen. Cole and Leliana both scare her for very different reasons, and she respects Solas but he also makes her feel defensive so she tends to avoid him.

QUOTES

“Stop telling me what’s going to happen, Sera. I don’t know what happened at the Temple. I don’t. Ancient elves, Morrigan and the Well, Abelas… Does it prove anything? Fuck if I know. I’m still me. I don’t believe in Andraste, or the Maker, and I’ve never really believed in the Creators, either. Even if they were real, that doesn’t matter much to me. If I ever find the god who saw fit to curse me with this shit, I’ll kill them myself. So, it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to be Dalish. You don’t have to believe. I don’t think I believe. Keep believing in Andraste, I don’t care. If that helps, then I’m happy for you. But don’t tell me I’m going to leave.”
