Anora

Anora Theirin (née Mac Tir) is the wife of King Cailan Theirin and daughter of Teyrn Loghain Mac Tir. She is the Queen of Ferelden, a consummate ruler and committed to ensuring economic security for Ferelden.
== Background ==
Anora was born to the Teyrn of Gwaren and his wife, a former cabinetmaker named Celia. She spent much of her early life in Gwaren with her mother while her father stayed half the year at court. In 9: 10 Dragon, after Celia argued that Loghain was spending too much time away from his daughter, Loghain started taking her to court. There she met and was betrothed to the young Prince Cailan. As a child, Anora began to display many characteristics which did not fade in adulthood: she was imperious and domineering, refusing to play with other children and leading her betrothed around like a puppy on a leash. Yet she also exhibited charm, intelligence and a fierce sense of independence. Her youth was also marked by significant rebellion, as illustrated by the West Hills incident, which involved Anora and Cailan running off to the West Hills arling in 9:23 Dragon to help a freeholder rid his lands of giants.
Anora eventually married Prince Cailan and though the two were fast friends, the marriage was initially one of convenience rather than true love. Though that friendship eventually blossomed into love, Anora always viewed her husband as a fool, lovable and charming, but a fool nonetheless. 
Upon Cailan's accession, Anora assumed most of the monarchical duties her husband shirked. She did not rule in her own name, but there was no doubt who really ruled Ferelden. To her credit, Anora was held in much higher esteem than her husband by the people of Ferelden, nobility and commoners alike. She also commanded the respect of foreign nations, having once inspired Empress Celene of Orlais to declare, "Anora of Ferelden is a solitary rose among brambles."Codex entry: Anora Despite their five years of marriage, Anora and Cailan did not have any children which lead to rumors that she was barren. 
Anora's strongest bond was with her father, whom she viewed as a role model and as someone who knew her better than anybody in the world. Indeed, one reason why Anora finds so many unimpressive is that they inevitably fail to live up to her exceptional standard of her father.

* "I have ruled this nation on Cailan's behalf for many years. I am a great queen, and as beloved by my people as I love them."

== Trivia ==
* In Bioware's character file for her, Anora's appearance is described as: "Beautiful. Slim."Dragon Age: Origins Resource File: queenanora.chr 
* Writer Sheryl Chee has said that when going out for a drink Anora would "skip the beer and go straight to tequila shots."
* Writer David Gaider states that, "the most important thing to know about Anora is that she is her father's daughter."
* When Anora is first seen by the party, she is wearing guard armor. The Warden may say "Aren't you a little short for a guard?" This is similar to what Princess Leia said upon first meeting Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, who was wearing Stormtrooper armor at the time. If a dwarf or elf uses this line, Anora points out the irony.
