Marian Hawke

Marian Hawke is the Champion of Kirkwall, younger sister of Garrett, and the older sister of Carver and Bethany Hawke. She is an apostate mage, a noble of House Amell, and the former lover of the infamous Anders.
==Biography==
Marian was born around 9:06-9:07 Dragon in a small village near Amaranthine. Her father, Malcolm, was an apostate mage who died three years before the beginning of the game, while her mother Leandra Amell is a noble from Kirkwall. She has two younger twin siblings—the mage Bethany and the warrior Carver, as well as her twin brother, Garrett.
The family was forced to move to Lothering when Bethany's magic manifested when she was nine. They'd been living in Lothering for ten years when the Fifth Blight started in Ferelden. She stayed in Lothering to safeguard Leandra and Bethany. After the defeat at Ostagar, the family escaped the darkspawn attack by fleeing north to the Free Marches, during which Garrett was killed by an ogre.
==Involvement==
After arriving in Kirkwall, she and her two remaining siblings worked as smugglers for Athenril, working for a year to pay for their bribe into the city, living with their maternal uncle Gamlen in Lowtown.
==Physical Description==
Buxom and curvy, moderately tall, with dark makeup, bright aqua-turquoise eyes, smooth pale skin, and a boyish short haircut. She sways when she walks, and has a regal voice, bright and clear. She has a warm smile and eyes, is approachable, and radiates kindness, with smooth, flowing movements.
==Personality==
Peaceful, sympathetic, diplomatic, caring, wise, selfless, and kind. She is witty, flirty, charming, a tad sarcastic at the wrong times, protective, and a leader. Far from close-minded, she is receptive, despite her strong opinions. Having three siblings, she knows the importance of allowing others to express themselves fully, even when she doesn't agree, like with Carver, she recognizes his right to voice his truth. She is reliable, as she hates letting people down, or a cause she believes in. She can always be counted on to see her promises and responsibilities through, no matter how difficult. Though she is a do-gooder, she is far from boring and is passionate, as she has many interests and is always down to play cards at the Hanged Man, and rarely finds herself at a loss for something interesting to do. She harbors a deep desire to be a force for positive change, not just in the lives of mages like her, genuinely believing that if she brings mages and templars together, they can do a world of good, she is altruistic. She is a charismatic leader, determined and inspiring, and never lost sight of her main goal, to be of service to others. She can unrealistically put pressure on herself to right every wrong that she encounters, and sometimes spreads herself too thin, and gets burnt out. She sometimes comes across as condescending or patronizing, especially to those she cannot relate to that think she acts better than them or that she knows better, like Merrill, Carver, and Fenris, something she has in common with Sebastian. Her empathy can go a bit too far, like with Anders, whom she enables, taking on his problems as her own, and feeling guilt and accountability when things go wrong, viewing it as a personal failure. She fears losing her family, being alone and unloved, thus she is cut deeply whenever Carver pulls away, or when she is blamed by her mother, coping by being the main provider. She expresses love, hoping to be loved and appreciated back. She is an excellent team player, being caring and gentle, nurturing and patient, and a vocal activist. Marian is quiet, studious, and reserved. She strives to serve others and struggles with criticism, she loves giving people counsel, and caring for sick or injured stray animals.
Overly Idealistic – Protagonists tend to have clear ideas about what’s right and what’s wrong. They often think that everyone shares these fundamental principles – or, at least, that everyone should share these principles. So it can come as a genuine shock to Protagonists when people violate their core values, such as truth or justice.
Intense – When it comes to self-improvement, Protagonists are rarely short on energy or determination. But they may not recognize that not everyone shares these qualities. At times, Protagonists may push others to make changes that they aren’t ready for – or simply aren’t interested in making in the first place.
Twos are defined by their desire to belong and to be loved by others. They are helpful, nurturing and caring towards others. They are eager to involve themselves in others' lives. Twos rarely say no when others ask them for help, and want to prove value to others by always being there for them.
Givers are highly empathetic and caring individuals who put others’ needs above their own. They have intuitive abilities to anticipate the emotional gaps of others and support them.
They find great joy in being available and are seen as a source of encouragement or a shoulder to cry on. Through thick and thin, they’re the ride-or-die companion and friend.
Twos are strategic in how they form relationships. Usually open and popular, Givers find themselves in a variety of groups and are liked by many. Their encouraging and supportive nature draws in people from all stages of their lives.
Givers are motivated by their desire to gain approval from other people, often through indirect methods. Twos have an unconscious ulterior motive in their acts of kindness, and often assume others are the same.
An unhealthy Two may look like a person who is selfless in a superficial way. Or someone who supports and gives to others at the expense of harming themselves or another person, such as by enabling an addict.
Enneagram Twos are part of the “heart-based” triad of the Enneagram, along with Type 3s and Type 4s. This triad focuses on the emotion of sadness as a result of feeling like the individual is not loved for who they really are.
As children, Twos often grow up in environments where they feel like their basic emotional needs are not met. So they learn how to adapt to others’ expectations early on and repress their own desires in an effort to support other people.
Healthy Type Twos are able to serve others while also meeting their own needs. They also know how to love and accept themselves as they are, and rely less on approval from other people.
A strong sense of meaning, acknowledgment from loved ones, and emotional intimacy with others are Givers’ grounding principles.
Altruism holds a strong place in their hearts and they readily go out of their way to volunteer their time and energy to bring others up.
Kindness and reciprocity are the guiding values for their decisions. To improve someone else’s life or mood is immeasurably better than helping themselves.
The shared experience of spending quality time with a loved one is among the best feelings in the world to Type Twos.
In public, Givers are the people that strangers are naturally drawn to for directions or advice. They possess a strong aura of approachability. They’re highly attuned to the needs of others and can be seen as the ‘mother’ or ‘father’ figure of a group of friends.
At home or alone, they continually make an effort to keep in touch with loved ones. Whether that’s through homemade dishes, tender words, or surprise gifts, they’re attuned to others’ love languages and enjoy putting a smile on their faces.
When they are healthy, Twos are selfless caregivers who are fulfilled by freely giving unconditional love. They’re comfortable with sharing their own needs to others and secure a healthy give-and-take balance. They acknowledge when others require distance and develop secure attachment styles. They’re able to practice mindfulness and understand the meaning of altruism. They recognize their own self-worth and can gently guide others towards theirs as well. Givers understand the meaning of empathy, and are able to have genuine, heart-to-heart connections with others.
When they are average, Twos assume the martyr role in relationships and constantly seek ways to feel important by attending to others’ needs. They feel fulfilled when others remind them how grateful they are to have them in their lives, and work hard to maintain this image of the constantly accessible friend. By continuously attending to others’ needs, Givers may burn out and overcompensate for their energy levels. They may use flattery or compliments in order to gain acceptance and appreciation within a community or relationship. They’re hypersensitive to the approval and appraisal of others, especially those they truly care about.
When they are unhealthy, Twos fall into a pit of self-despair and criticism — constantly looking for others’ faults and wrongdoings. They try to gain control over relationships and may become either overly clingy or overbearing. There’s now an excuse for their every action and they play the victim card in order to gain sympathy and reassurance. Finally, they unleash their manipulative side, and mindlessly blame other people for their suffering and misery. Givers base their self-worth on the opinions of those they’ve helped — and if received with criticism, they’ll wallow in despair and develop various forms of physical illness: aches, fevers and nausea.
Growth Tips for Enneatype 2s
Practice mindfulness for personal growth. When Twos learn how to step outside of themselves and see their personality more objectively, they can observe patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By observing yourself from an outside perspective, you can better understand where you need to set boundaries and practice self-care.
Take note of your own feelings about things. Twos often deny their own emotions and needs, while prioritizing those of other people. Growth for a Type Two lies in acknowledging and accepting your own emotions. Activities like journaling can help Twos get more in touch with their emotions.
Practice self-love. Enneagram Twos often feel trapped in their need to please other people. If approval is not easy to gain, the Giver may feel unworthy because they are not appreciated. It’s essential for Twos to learn to love who they truly are.
Learn how to set healthy boundaries. Type Twos are known for giving more energy to others than they may actually have to give. This leaves them feeling depleted and detached from their own identity. Twos flourish when they learn how to set healthy boundaries focused on their needs.
Share your authentic self with other people. Twos tend to alter their personalities to please the people around them. Make a conscious effort to be transparent and honest about how you think and feel. You will learn that people truly value the authentic side of you!
Famous Enneagram Type 2s

Maya Angelou
“Peeta Mellark” (Hunger Games)
“Samwise Gamgee” (Lord of the Rings)
Enneagram Type Twos truly elevate and focus on romantic relationships - they love to give their huge hearts to someone special. Because of this, finding a partner is so important to them, as is gaining approval. Twos are intuitive and can actively “read” the people around them, aligning with their perceived moods and preferences in order to maximize the possibility of connection. However, sometimes they go to great lengths to give to others through helpfulness in order to get their own needs met.
Twos bring positive and often bubbly energy to important situations, such as when a partner is grieving a personal loss with work or extended family, and will work hard to please their partner. However, sometimes the partner doesn’t want or require the help of the Two, so they find themselves unappreciated, unnoticed, or unwanted.
Emotionally, Twos have trouble moving from this posture, even when their spouse or others have tried to set a loving boundary. This is often because they fear rejection and may have faced abandonment issues growing up.
In addition, Twos frequently repress their own anger, sadness, anxiety or hurt feelings to please others. However, when their feelings are hidden, they come out in ways that can feel manipulative, prideful and controlling to those around them, even if on the surface the Two maintains a happy façade. This overcompensating behavior can mask depression and create marriage struggles. This happens when, instead of balance and self care, a Two turns toward hedonism or self-inflation to get their needs met or puts on a false generosity.
If you love a Two, remind them to use their thought life to guide them into a time of quiet each morning, so they can prioritize their day with what is truly needed versus what seems to be needed. Remind them not to let their feelings be their only guide as they invite these thoughts in - and encourage them to take care of themselves (including mental and physical self-care). Remind them to revisit the past for cues and look to the future for their plans, make active plans and learn from the past and let go more - instead of manipulating.
Remember that Twos feel that in order to receive love, they must be giving. It isn’t out of cruelty but a desire to genuinely find love. Encourage your Two in their chosen love language (not just yours) and try to help them to feel safe by regularly assuring them that they are the most special person in your heart, especially if you happen to be someone who does not show it outwardly all the time.
