Minaeve

Minaeve is an elven mage scholar who serves as the head creature researcher for the reformed Inquisition in Dragon Age: Inquisition.
== Background ==
Minaeve was born into a Dalish clan. At the age of seven, she was cast out into the wilderness after displaying magical ability as her Dalish clan kept a limit on mages to avoid attracting too much attention. Shaken and malnourished, she eventually came upon a human village, but when the humans discovered her using magic to repel woodland predators, they attempted to kill her. The templars stepped in and she was taken to a mage Circle. Never particularly good at magic, Minaeve spent most of her time in the Circle studying as an apprentice. Minaeve speculates she was a year or so from undergoing her Harrowing. When her circle rebelled during the Mage-Templar War, Minaeve gathered a small group of tranquil and fled. Eventually, she and her wards found themselves under the protection of Cassandra Pentaghast, and when the Inquisition was reformed she signed on as head creature researcher.
== Involvement ==
Minaeve can be found in Haven's chantry, in the same room as Josephine. The Herald can deliver enemy remains and place them on the table next to her for Minaeve to research.
