Cora Amell

Cora Amell is the wife of Kirkwaller Lorcan Amell and mother of Ariadne, Drusilla, and Marina, and is the only non-mage in the family. She is from Rivain, but met Lorcan on his travels to Tevinter, and the two slowly began to care for each other, and decided to settle in the countryside to hide from their pasts, and fell deeply in love. She took up work as a blacksmith, teaching herself the craft as she was always curious about it, while Lorcan cooked, cleaned and raised the kids, and teaching them when their magic manifested. Cora was never fearful of magic, as per Rivaini culture, and she almost converted to the Qun, but decided to travel instead, after the death of her parents to a plague.
Though she is the breadwinner, her husband is in charge of most household issues, but she helps out when she is not too worn out from a long day at the forge, and she often makes trinkets for her children and husband that they much appreciate. She specializes in blades but her passion lies in armor, and she is often commissioned to mass-make gear for the army when their main suppliers get overwhelmed and need help with the overflow, which gets monotonous but pays well. She holds her temper well, gaining energy from seeing her family happy, and she encourages her daughters to get along with each other.
== Physical Appearance ==
She is not especially pretty, but not especially ugly, either. She has keen brown eyes so dark they look black, long thick curly hair prone to frizz in the Tevinter climate, and a full-figured body that became heavier after her three children were born. Under the layer of fat is strong muscle from her work as a smith, and she has a few burn scars and her skin is usually dry from the heat. She makes her children's clothes, and Lorcan mends them, she also makes her own dresses, having a modest array in jewel-toned greens, purples, and blues. Her wedding ring is heavy gold with a gaudy ruby that she found among her grandmother's possessions. She has many tattoos and made herself flashy gold jewelry to go along with her many piercings, though she is not as heavily adorned as those in Rivain that are considered "high-status". She stands at 5'10 3/4" but looks even taller due to her confident posture and commanding presence. She has a loud and free laugh, a wild grin that lights up a room, and a heavy brow that makes her look angry when she is not smiling, though she is usually calm.
