Support Staff

These are the Skyhold Academy staff members who are explicitly not teachers, but perform other duties around the school.

* Alistair Theirin, founding father
* Elissa Theirin, founding mother
* Leliana Nightingale, headmistress
* Josephine Montilyet, deputy headmistress and guidance counselor
* Lace Harding, administrative assistant
* Mother Giselle, school nurse
* Felix Alexius, Dorian's friend and library assistant
* Grey Wardens (various), school security
Solas Harel

**Solas Harel** is an interdisciplinary science instructor at Skyhold Academy. He has multiple degrees and is qualified to teach several different branches of science rather than focusing on one.

### Background

Nobody knows. Literally. Even Leliana hasn't been able to learn much about his past, other than that his degrees are all legitimate.

### In-Universe Trivia

* He is one of the only adult characters in the series to have no confirmed love interest, although he and Leliana occasionally like to confuse people by flirting. He insists that his true love is science (and cake).
* He moonlights as a Let's Player on YouTube known as the Dread Wolf. He's so popular that he even gets invited to be a guest of honor at a fan convention in Denerim (where, to maintain his "secret identity," he wears a wolf mask). His signature sign off is "May the Dread Wolf take you."
* He severely dislikes shoes, preferring to walk barefoot whenever possible in order to commune with the earth. This turns into a joke one year at Wintersend when most of his colleagues buy him different kinds of shoes as gifts. It's not known whether he ever wears any of them, though he's clearly amused by the gesture.
* He is a very good mime, as the students discover during a talent show. It's unknown where he learned how to do this - or why, for that matter. The closest he comes to giving an explanation is when he mentions having studied acting in his youth.

### Meta Trivia

* The authors didn't *intentionally* refrain from giving him a backstory. They planned on tweaking his canon story from *Dragon Age: Inquisition* into something that fit the setting. It just never happened because too many other things worked their way into the stories instead.
* Neither author is particularly fond of the canonical Solas, and more than once they have observed that their own barefoot science teacher is the only version they really like.
Varric Tethras

**Varric Tethras** is the Skyhold Academy writing teacher. He's also a successful published author and one of the school's primary sources of comic relief.

### In-Universe Trivia

* He refers to the Hawke sisters as "my girls" and is extremely protective of both of them.
* He is the shortest of the male teachers at Skyhold, and likes to explain this by claiming to be descended from the dwarves who are said to have once lived beneath Thedas. (This is, of course, because in the games he *is* a dwarf.)
* In the *Dragon Age* games, Varric uses a crossbow which he names Bianca after his former love interest. Here, he gives that name to his vintage typewriter - also in honor of his former love interest, who used to maintain it for him.
* Second only to the typewriter, his prized possession is a black and silver Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
* He is known for complaining about almost anything and everything, to the point that Dorian wrote a song about it.
* He absolutely detests the *Fifty Shades* books, mostly for existing.
* No one (including them) knows exactly why he and Dorian decided that they were honorary brothers; they just sort of did. By extension, this makes Varric and Evvy honorary siblings as well, although they're less overt about the connection.
* He is the only character in the entire series who kills another person in the course of the narrative. It's justified as self-defense, but his actual motivation was protecting Bethany.

### Meta Trivia

* Varric is Lady Norbert's favorite character in literally any piece of media ever. He, like Evvy, is one of the few members of the cast who is exclusively written by her.
* Varric was one of the last characters to receive a face claim, because the authors struggled to find anyone who looked right for the part. One night, Lady Norbert came home from work to find her husband watching an old episode of *Hercules: The Legendary Journeys*, and as soon as Michael Hurst (Iolaus) appeared on the screen, she had the answer.
Josephine Montilyet

**Josephine Cherette Montilyet** is one of the people making sure Skyhold Academy runs as smoothly as possible at all times.

### In The Stories

As deputy headmistress, Josephine takes on many duties, including balancing the school budget and arranging details for assorted school functions. She also serves as the guidance counselor, helping the more troubled students with their individual needs.

TBC.

### In-Universe Trivia

* She has a steadily growing mutual attraction with Gordon Blackwall, which is a nod to the characters' flirtation in *Dragon Age: Inquisition*. Unlike in the game, however, here there is nothing impeding them from actually pursuing a relationship other than the many demands on Josephine's time.
* She enjoys participating whenever Varric runs a tabletop roleplaying game, either for the staff or the students. Her character is a mountain-dwelling barbarian named Namud, who has an extensive fan club; they send him care packages when he's on a mission.
* Like other members of the staff, she often appears in the in-universe fan fiction written by other characters. However, she isn't always paired romantically with Blackwall; sometimes she's given other relationships just to 'mix things up a little', as the student authors put it.
The Year of the Unicorn and the Emerald Princess

**The Year of the Unicorn and the Emerald Princess** is the second installment of the *Skyhold Academy Yearbook* series.

### Synopsis

Another side, another story - *The Year of the Unicorn and the Emerald Princess* examines the events of *Skyhold Academy* through the lens of three students as they text and Facebook message each other back and forth all year. Together, the three best friends and self proclaimed "Partners in Crime" react to the major events happening at their school and make more than few delightful discoveries along the way.

### Notes

* Rating: G for General Audiences
* Language: English
* Number of chapters: 1

### Sub-Stories

* The kids mention that they've written fanfic about their teachers, but the stories don't appear in this installment. It's not stated whether the ones mentioned here include those which appear later.

### Memorable Quotes

* "Hey, have you ever noticed that Professor Harel looks like an egg?" - Jim

### Trivia

* Rather than a true sequel, this story takes place concurrent with *Skyhold Academy.* It shows the point of view of three of the students concerning significant events during the first story.
* This marks the first appearance of the "Partners in Crime."
* As noted on the page for *Skyhold Academy*, the first story was written to keep Lady Norbert's spirits up while she worked to close the store where she and AuroraBorealia had been coworkers. Aurora wrote this story by herself as a special treat for Lady on the final day of the store's operations; since it was meant to make the recipient laugh, it's much sillier than the story which came before it.

Skye Rutherford

**Eleanor Skye Rutherford** is the daughter of Cullen Rutherford and Evangeline Trevelyan.

#### Background

Evvy discovered she was pregnant roughly six months after she and Cullen married. She went into labor a few weeks early and had to deliver surgically rather than naturally. Despite this, her daughter was born healthy and has had no lasting health problems resulting from her difficult birth.

#### In The Stories

Skye is born in the final chapters of the installment *I Must Be Going*, after keeping the entire Skyhold family on pins and needles waiting for the announcement. Once she's brought home to Skyhold Academy, she becomes the universal darling of the entire school. Apart from her parents and brother, she is particularly beloved by her adoptive uncles Dorian Pavus and Mahanon Lavellan and aunt Cassandra Pentaghast.

Skye has inherited her father's slightly unruly golden curls and her mother's enormous green eyes. She appears intermittently throughout the rest of the series, often sharing a scene (and sometimes a playpen) with Anthony Lavellan. She is a little older than he is and they effectively grow up as siblings, much like his father and her mother.

She is unintentionally a nicknamer, as her baby attempts to say the names of the adults around her create some adorable and sometimes comical results. The most famous (or infamous) of these are Dodo (Dorian) and Ick (Varric), and while the others taper off as she gets older, these two are retained in the form of *The Adventures of Dodo and Ick*, a tongue-in-cheek fairy tale written by Marian Hawke.

#### In-Universe Trivia

* Her first name is in memory of Cullen's mother. Her middle name, which is how everyone addresses her, is in honor of Skyhold itself.
* If she had been a boy, she would have been named Alistair, after President Theirin. Her parents chose not to learn their baby's gender until she was born.
* Mahanon and Cassandra are her godparents.
* Her first word was "Da," much to Cullen's joy.
* She has inherited her father's love of blueberries, which she calls "boobury".
* Her nickname "Curly-Cloud" comes from both her father's nickname "Curly" and the Rutherford family theming, in which Cullen is the sun, Evvy is the rainbow, and Cole is the rain.

#### Meta Trivia

* The authors have headcanoned the singer Jackie Evancho as being the face claim of the older Skye.
* They have also determined that the relationship between Anthony and Skye will always be just like that of Mahanon and Evvy - absolutely devoted and loving friends, but without any romance. They do believe, however, that she will most likely have an eventual romance with Kirk Tethras.
Vivienne de Fer

**Vivienne de Fer** is the former instructor of foreign languages at Skyhold Academy.

### Background

Very little is known about Vivienne's youth, other than that she was separated from her parents at an early age. As a young woman she fell passionately in love with an Orlesian nobleman, Bastien de Ghislain, and they entered a romance that lasted for decades. Because of his pre-existing betrothal to a fellow noble, Bastien could not marry Vivienne; however, his wife, Nicoline, was both aware of their relationship and very understanding of it. She and Vivienne became good friends and Vivienne was welcome in their home. She was present throughout the lives of Bastien and Nicoline's children, Laurent and Calienne. She mourned with Bastien for the deaths of both Nicoline and Calienne, and remains close to and very fond of Laurent.

### In The Stories

Vivienne is only minimally present when the series begins, as the focus of the first story is chiefly on the new arrival Evangeline Trevelyan. She departs very shortly afterward when she receives news that Bastien is gravely ill, and rushes to be at his side in Orlais. When Bastien dies of his illness, Vivienne decides to retire from teaching in order to help Laurent oversee his estate.

She gets mentioned a few times in *The Year of the Unicorn and the Emerald Princess*, as the student characters discuss her departure and what they learned in her classes. They also spend some time examining her Instagram account, which showcases her love of cutting-edge fashion.

She returns twice throughout the remainder of the series. When the school hosts a giant reunion in *The Memory Band*, she is invited to visit her former colleagues and makes the trip; she is seen conversing pleasantly with Varric, inquiring about his marriage and inviting him to bring Bethany to visit her if a change of air might be beneficial. Later, in *Love is a Mystery*, she humors her old friends by again returning to the school to help judge the "Masked Skyhold" contest, mostly so she can critique the costumes.

### In-Universe Trivia

* She has a rivalry with Morrigan, the old friend of Elissa Theirin, and is displeased to see her at the school reunion. The exact nature of the grudge is never made clear, nor is it clear whether Morrigan herself is aware of the dislike.
* She can be touchy about her age.

### Meta Trivia

* Half the reason for her removal from the series was to give the authors an excuse to bring in Michel de Chevin to replace her, thus creating an opportunity for Cullen to be jealous. The other half was that they simply never knew what to *do* with Vivienne, except in her guest appearances later.

**Level 15** is the 16th level of the Backrooms.

## Description

**Level 15** takes the appearance of an endless, futuristic mall. The mall consists of high-quality AC, nice places to sleep, and shops to keep you busy. These shops are owned by small businesses in The Backrooms. There is also a hub for wanderers to go to any level, enigmatic level, sub-level, and negative level.

The mall hallways are endlessly wide, with retail stores on each side. The halls themselves twist and curve at random, occasionally forming ineffective loops and curls. However, some stores have a mini-map of their current location for simple navigation. The hallway may have an intersection that leads to another hallway. Doorways within the hallway can also lead to another hallway, or they may simply be a shortcut.

At the center of **Level 15**, there is a giant fountain of Almond Water. Also, it has been shown that your sanity can get back to normal very quickly here. Additionally, the fountain is covered in a golden-like substance, making it very valuable.

## Colonies and Outposts

Lots of small businesses set up camp in **Level 15**, but no large groups have settled here yet.

The original Skyhold Academy

**Skyhold Academy** is the first installment of the *Skyhold Academy Yearbook* series.

### Synopsis

The castle of Skyhold has been transformed into a boarding school with a secret; under the watchful eye of Headmistress Leliana Nightingale, students from across modern Thedas come to study with the most eclectic and doting cast of teachers any video game could hope to spawn. It's a complete mishmash of canon references and modern media from the real world; the magic has been stripped from the setting, all the characters are human, and almost everybody's hiding a little something about themselves.

Evangeline Trevelyan comes to serve as Skyhold Academy's art teacher for a year while Marian Hawke, the regular instructor, is on sabbatical. It doesn't take long for the entire cast to start shipping her with Cullen Rutherford, the popular but shy history professor, and the school year brings months of wacky adventures, mutual pining, terrible jokes, and enough nonsense to get a normal school staff fired on the spot. But Skyhold is not a normal school by any stretch of the imagination. Meanwhile, the school has to contend with the antics of their hated rival; the Skyhold Academy Chargers and the Venatori Prep Red Templars have a long-standing grudge and the repercussions are serious this year...

### Notes

* Rating: T for Teen
* Language: English
* Number of chapters: 34

### Sub-Stories

* Varric pens an epic poem which he calls *The Emerald Princess and the Bashful Knight*, regarding whatever's going on between Cullen and Evvy. However, unlike most sub-fics in the series, this one is not actually shown in the narrative.

### Trivia

* This was originally intended to be not the first installment in the series, but to be a completely stand-alone work. When the authors first wrote it, they had no plans to turn it into a monstrosity of a universe; they just thought it would be fun to do. It came as a surprise when people on AO3 responded so positively and begged for more.
* It's the only part of the series which makes any kind of serious attempt to follow the plotline of *Dragon Age: Inquisition*. Although some of the later stories include various references to different parts of the *Dragon Age* game lore, the authors chiefly gave up and ran with whatever they felt like including.
* The original point of the story existing at all was because the store where the authors had been coworkers and became friends was being closed; AuroraBorealia had since moved away, but Lady Norbert was losing her job, which she loved. They had come up with random plot points after being inspired by a post on Tumblr, and decided to actually play it out to keep her spirits up during the final weeks.
* AuroraBorealia considers this her favorite installment of the series.

Leliana Nightingale

**Leliana Nightingale** is the headmistress of Skyhold Academy.

### Background

In her younger years, Leliana worked at a small television studio. There, she became friends with both Alistair Theirin and his future wife, Elissa Cousland. Years later, when they began to put a plan into action to create a school that would be a safe haven for lonely children such as Alistair himself had been, their old friend was one of the first people they contacted to help make it a reality.

Not much else is known about Leliana's life before Skyhold Academy. It is known that she was the daughter of a Fereldan man and an Orlesian woman, but their names have never been mentioned and she has very little memory of either of them. She was mostly raised, following her mother's death, by a kindly Orlesian noblewoman named Lady Celie. Sometime in her young adulthood she became good friends with Josephine Montilyet, so when she accepted the post as headmistress, she immediately recommended the Antivan for the position of deputy.

### In-Universe Trivia

* Leliana is one of the few adult characters in the series to have no confirmed love interest. That said, she and Solas occasionally like to pretend to flirt, mostly just to make other people wonder.
* She is an extremely talented singer and loves to sing at almost any opportunity. For this reason, when she appears in fan fiction written by other characters, she is frequently depicted as singing.
* It's said that nothing, or at least close to nothing, takes place within Skyhold Academy without her knowledge.
* Because of their long history, she is one of the only few characters who is comfortable with addressing Alistair and Elissa by their first names rather than "Mr. President" and "Madam First Lady."
* Her backstory at the television studio is set to be revealed in the prequel *The Red and Gold Dossier*, which has not yet been fully completed.

### Meta Trivia

* Leliana is the only character in the series who was actually slated to be played by one of the authors in real life. AuroraBorealia auditioned for and was awarded the role in a fan-made animated adaptation of *Dragon Age: Origins*, though the project never came to fruition.
Dorian Pavus

**Dorian Pavus** runs the Skyhold Academy library and teaches both music and fabulousness to its students.

### In-Universe Trivia

* His estranged father, Halward, dies during the course of the series, prompting Dorian to be absent from the school for a time. The exact reason for his departure is known to very few, and explained to Iron Bull (and the reader) upon his return. Varric and Mahanon lead several students in a comic musical performance to celebrate his homecoming; although Varric didn't know why he was gone, he could tell that it was for an unpleasant reason and figured that Dorian could do with something cheerful to welcome him back.
* As an only child with a strained relationship with his birth family, Dorian takes his place at Skyhold very seriously. More than once he comments about how grateful he is to be part of the very odd family of choice. He swiftly grows attached to Evvy because of her 'fish out of water' situation, and acts as her confidant regarding her relationship with Cullen.
* His relationship with Bull was initially kept rather under wraps, mostly because Dorian wasn't sure how anyone else would react to it. They've gradually become more open about it over the course of the series and have even begun discussing the possibility of making it legal.
* In addition to "Fairy Godfather," Evvy often calls him "Dori." She is the only one allowed to use either nickname. Similarly, only Skye is allowed to call him "Dodo." He dotes on mother and daughter in equal measure and is deeply protective of them both.

### Meta Trivia

* Dorian is usually written by AuroraBorealia, who refers to the character as her 'ray of sunshine'. Lady Norbert only takes over the role when Dorian needs to interact one-on-one with Cullen.
* AuroraBorealia's fondness for the character is also the reason why Rory (heavily based on the author's own preferences/attitudes and an overexaggerated selection of her mannerisms) is so fond of Professor Pavus and why she too refers to him as her 'ray of sunshine.'
Villains

Even a place as joyful as Skyhold Academy has its share of villainous types, though much fewer than most fanfic locations. Since there aren't a lot of details known about any of them, it made sense to have them all just share one page.

### Venatori Prep

The infamous rival school Venatori Prep, home of the Red Templars football team, serve as the chief antagonists of the original story in the series. What seems to merely be an athletic rivalry turns out to have far more sinister roots. By the end of the story, the school has been shut down for good and most of the staff members have been sent to prison. A few of them appear later as characters in some of the in-universe fanfic stories.

* Cory Pheus, coach
* Raleigh Samson, assistant coach
* Calpernia
* Livius Erimond
* Gereon Alexius, Felix's father

### Pre-Series Villains

These are characters who formed part of the backstory of one or more of Skyhold's beloved residents. They do not appear in the stories proper, but have been mentioned when those whose lives they impacted are sharing their pasts with one another.

* Meredith Stannard, Cullen's onetime superior officer
* Danarius, Fenris's former abuser
* The White Lily Murderer, who killed Hawke and Bethany's mother
* Duke Prosper de Montfort, antiquities smuggler

### Sub-fictional Villains

These are the baddies who appear only in the fanfics written by someone at Skyhold.

* Lucius Corin, the corrupt officer in *Bright Jewels, Chained City*
Ostwick

**Ostwick** is one of the major city-states in the Free Marches.

#### Appearances in the *Skyhold Academy Yearbook* series

Although it has been mentioned a number of times, chiefly as being the hometown of Evvy and Mahanon, the story has only actually taken place in Ostwick once. "A Wintersend to Remember," the first chapter of the installment *The Memory Band*, sees the Rutherfords and Cassandra travel to Ostwick to spend the holidays with Evvy's family. While they're there, Mahanon comes across the abandoned baby that he and Cassandra eventually adopt as their own son.
Superman - The Animated Series

***Superman: The Animated Series*** ran from 1996 to 2000 on Kids WB!, and followed the adventures of Superman as he defended the entire Earth from evil.

The series was the first spin-off of *Batman: The Animated Series*, and was also the first in the DCAU to feature multiple superhero guest stars (Batman, Aquaman, Doctor Fate, Flash and Green Lantern). The title for episodes airing under *The New Batman/Superman Adventures* was ***The New Superman Adventures***, as acknowledged by The WB.

In January 2009, IGN dubbed *Superman: The Animated Series* the 36th best animated television series.

Skyhold Academy

**Skyhold Academy** is the boarding school for which the entire series is named and where a large portion of the events take place.

#### About the school

Like its counterpart in *Dragon Age: Inquisition*, the school is a castle situated in the Frostback Mountains. The location was chosen because of its relative obscurity, though still with ease of access to different locations in both Ferelden and Orlais; in particular, it gets a lot of its food and other supplies from the community of Redcliffe and the surrounding farmlands.

The school has a reputation for being extremely selective about its student body, with rarely more than one hundred students on the rolls at a given time. While this is somewhat accurate, the selective nature of the school is actually a closely guarded secret. In truth, the school seeks out students who are in particular need of a safe place for one reason or another, and awards them 'scholarships' to come and spend most of the year under the nurturing care of the staff. The bulk of these students have abusive, homeless, or traumatic backgrounds of some kind. This secret is known only to President and First Lady Theirin, the senior staff members, the art teacher's husband and younger sister, and (later) Mahanon Lavellan.

As implied by that previous statement, Skyhold has two levels of staff. The lesser seen staff members include the custodial department, the cafeteria workers, and the groundskeepers; they are analogous to the scouts and soldiers of the in-game Inquisition and take an almost entirely background role in the stories. The senior staff members consist of the permanent teachers, the headmistress, the guidance counselor, the school nurse, and Lace Harding, who is in charge of tracking down the students in need. As of midway through the first story, this role is also extended to Evangeline Trevelyan, who is in the school as substitute art teacher.

Following the events of the first story, the school is taken under the protection of the Grey Wardens, per the wishes of Divine Justinia. They act as security guards at the entrance gate and throughout the school grounds, rotating the duty among the order's many members; occasionally they participate in school events, such as joining a student movie marathon in the great hall.

#### Noteworthy locations on the school grounds

* Humanities tower - home to subjects such as history, languages, and art
* Gymnasium - home to physical education classes and the Chargers athletic teams
* Undercroft - initially unused, eventually home of various 'shop' classes such as metalsmithing
* Teachers' lounge - a gathering place for the senior staff members during their off-duty hours
* Library - located on the second floor of the school rotunda
* Courtyard - an open-air garden in the approximate center of the school, often used for special events
Kirk Tethras

**Kirk Malcolm Carver Tethras** is the son of Varric Tethras and Bethany Hawke.

#### Background

Because Bethany has the chronic illness called North Llomerryn virus, no one thought she could actually conceive a child; no North Llomerryn patient on record had ever successfully carried a fetus to term. So the announcement that she was expecting threw everyone for a loop, particularly her husband. It was a difficult pregnancy and she had to spend the final months of it on bed rest in Kirkwall, but her son was delivered safely, if underweight.

#### In The Stories

The installment *Life is a Roller Coaster* announces the pregnancy while the school is on a trip to the amusement park Lady Shayna's Valley. Varric is so shocked (and already quite ill from a ride) that he literally passes out. Once he recovers and they return to the school, the teachers plan a special movie night as a celebration.

During the summer break, Bethany grows extremely ill and is rushed to the hospital. Because of her pregnancy, she can't receive most of her usual treatments, so she has to battle the virus on her own; it's decided that she should convalesce at the family home in Kirkwall. Varric and big sister Marian Hawke take turns fussing over her, with Varric periodically commuting back to the school. Once the baby's gender is determined and his name is announced, a virtual baby shower, courtesy of Skyhold's resident party planner Dorian Pavus, celebrates the impending arrival. Kirk is born during the course of the installment *Love is a Mystery* and makes his first visit to Skyhold once he's deemed healthy enough to travel.

Kirk inherits most of his physical traits from his mother, including jet black hair and soft topaz-colored eyes. The bulk of his personality, however, is a mix of his father and his doting aunt; he has Varric's flair for the dramatic and Hawke's artistic temperament.

#### In-Universe Trivia

* Kirk's first name is in honor of Kirkwall. His middle names are in memory of his maternal grandfather and uncle.
* His nicknames, Starbaby and later Starboy, are a play on his parents' themes. Because Varric calls Bethany "Sunshine," he figures that he himself is the moon, and thus dubs their unborn child the star.
* Dorian Pavus and Iron Bull are his godfathers.

#### Meta Trivia

* The authors have headcanoned the actor Nick Robinson as being the face claim of the older Kirk.
* They are also of the opinion that he will develop a crush on Skye Rutherford as he gets older and the two will eventually have a romance.
Cassandra Pentaghast

**Cassandra Allegra Portia Calogera Filomena Pentaghast** is the physical education teacher for girls at Skyhold Academy, and a distant relation of the ruling family of her native Nevarra.

### In-Universe Trivia

* As in the games, no one knows just how many middle names Cassandra actually has. Even her husband isn't entirely sure; when he tries proposing using her full name, he addresses her as "Cassandra Allegra Portia Calogera Filomena Get On With It Pentaghast."
* Her friendship with Cullen Rutherford is deeply rooted in the fact that she misses her own brother. They are extremely close; he gives her away at her wedding and they are godparents to each other's children. The fact that they are married to Mahanon and Evvy, who have been friends since they were children, only cements it farther.
* She is one of the only people allowed to address Marian Hawke by her first name.
Mother Giselle

**Mother Giselle** is the school nurse at Skyhold Academy. As a revered mother in the Chantry, she also provides spiritual guidance to those of Andrastian faith and leads services in the school chapel weekly.

### Background

Very little is known about Giselle's background, including her last name and the names of any living relations. All that is known is that she spent several years in the Orlesian Chantry, where she developed a reputation for being courageous and self-sacrificing, preferring to minster to those in greatest need.

She is a close friend of Divine Justinia, who recommended her when the school was forming and needed a nurse.

### In-Universe Trivia

* Although she is a skilled medic and knowledgeable about remedies both natural and man-made, Giselle has very little experience with obstetrics or infant pediatrics. For this reason, when Evvy becomes pregnant less than a year after her marriage to Cullen Rutherford, Giselle recommends a different doctor for her.
* She does not appear frequently in the narrative, but she is shown to be highly respected and deeply trusted. She is one of the only non-teacher staff members to be fully aware of the school's true nature.

### Meta Trivia

* She is the only significant staff member at Skyhold Academy who was never assigned a face claim.
Bethany Hawke

**Bethany Hawke** is Marian Hawke's younger sister, who eventually joins the staff at Skyhold Academy.

### In The Series

Bethany is not seen and only barely mentioned until roughly halfway through the original *Skyhold Academy*, at which point Cassandra stumbles upon the truth about Hawke's sabbatical. She appears solely in the form of video chats with Varric until he goes home to Kirkwall for a long weekend, allowing her to be seen in person for the first time. She comes to the school toward the end of the story in order to attend Cullen and Evvy's wedding, and reveals to everyone that her illness is entering remission.

In *The Year of the Unicorn and the Emerald Princess*, the student characters speculate on the true nature of her relationship with Varric and eventually gloat about having guessed correctly.

TBC.

### In-Universe Trivia

* Bethany is a bit of a fashionista, which is inspired by her canonical love of pretty clothes in *Dragon Age II*. She has a university degree in fashion design and manufacture, runs a blog about the subject, and helps with the costumes for the school play. Once she relocates to Skyhold permanently, she provides instruction for interested students; however, because of her physical limitations, this is done in more of a club-type of setting rather than structured classes.
* She is the only person known to have successfully carried a baby to term after a diagnosis of North Llomerryn virus.
* She is approximately twelve years younger than Varric, which is part of the reason why he was hesitant to admit his feelings to her.

### Meta Trivia

* Bethany's illness, including how she contracted it, is based on Blight sickness from the games. This was done so that no one would think the authors were making light of a real-world illness; it's also for this reason that many of the symptoms and the nature of her treatments are kept extremely vague.
Gordon Blackwall

**Gordon Blackwall** (usually just Blackwall) teaches industrial arts classes at Skyhold Academy, including woodworking and metalsmithing.

### Meta Trivia

* Much like with Solas Harel, Blackwall's canon background from *Dragon Age: Inquisition* was supposed to appear in the stories in a tweaked fashion. The authors just never found a good place to work it in properly. However, a modified version of it does appear in Marian Hawke's story *The Adventures of Dodo and Ick*.
Lace Harding

**Lace Harding** is a general admin assistant at Skyhold Academy. Her particular duty is to seek out and follow up on leads concerning students who need 'scholarships' to the school as a means to get away from an unsafe or difficult situation.

### In-Universe Trivia

* She isn't frequently seen in the narrative due to her extensive traveling. However, she features heavily in Cole Rutherford's backstory, which is slated to appear in an upcoming part of the series.
* She saved Professor Bran Kenric's life when he visited Skyhold Academy, preventing him from taking a tumble off of one of the battlements. He insistently refers to her as 'Lady Harding' ever since then, and it's heavily implied that they are in a relationship.

Iron Bull

## Ivan Ronbul

**Iron Bull**, as he is known, is the boys' phys ed teacher and football coach at Skyhold Academy.

### Background

Not unlike his colleague Solas Harel, it's a mystery - of sorts. Bull, prior to getting into education, worked as a spy, and in that line of employment he held a number of day jobs and mastered several skills. Among other things, he spent some time as a classically trained opera singer. At some point he met Cremisius "Krem" Aclassi and saved the young man's life; they became inseparable after that. When Krem was invited to study at Skyhold Academy, Bull learned of the open coaching position and applied for the job in order to stay within reach of his companion.

### In-Universe Trivia

* Bull's real name is Ivan Ronbul, but no one ever calls him that.
* He is a great lover of awful puns and terrible jokes, which both amuses and exasperates his partner Dorian.
* His relationship with Dorian was initially kept rather under wraps, mostly because Dorian wasn't sure how anyone else would react to it. They've gradually become more open about it over the course of the series and have even begun discussing the possibility of making it legal.
* Like the other staff members, he enjoys participating whenever Varric runs a tabletop roleplaying game. His character is Sillat, a red-headed elf rogue who has a tendency to spout incoherent metaphors.

### Meta Trivia

* Unlike Solas and Blackwall, the authors *did* deliberately make Bull's background murky and unclear. They took his canonical position as a spy and turned it into a sort of mad lib employment history.
Skyhold Academy Wiki

**Welcome to the Skyhold Academy Wiki!**
**Big fat hairy disclaimer:** *Dragon Age* and its related properties belong to BioWare and Electronic Arts. Anything you see on this wiki that you recognize as belonging to them is not ours. Anything you don't recognize is a fan creation. No copyright infringement is intended. Also, please remember that this is a *fan project* and what you read in this wiki may not strictly adhere to *Dragon Age* canon lore as it exists in the games, books, and other media.

This wiki is about all things pertaining to the *Skyhold Academy Yearbook* series of *Dragon Age* fanfiction, collaboratively written by Lady Norbert and AuroraBorealia on AO3.

*Skyhold Academy Yearbook* takes the general setting of *Dragon Age*, particularly *Dragon Age Inquisition*, and retools it as a modern boarding school alternate universe fanfiction. With the members of the Inquisition chiefly serving as the school's staff, they take the reader on a variety of adventures both ridiculous and mundane. To use terminology from TV Tropes, it's both Lighter and Softer and also Denser and Wackier than the original material. Instead of magic, Skyhold Academy is full of references to modern media; it features puns both great and terrible, in-universe fan fiction, field trips, school plays, and so much more. Beloved by its core readership for running on nonsensoleum, it has become a sprawling universe of its own, so the authors decided that a wiki was the best way to keep everything organized for themselves and for those who follow it. Even people who don't play the *Dragon Age* games will find the stories entertaining, so come on in and get to know our illustrious teaching staff!

The wiki is a work in progress, so please have patience while we continue adding information. One very important point - we have **unmarked spoilers** all over the place here! So if you'd rather read the stories unspoiled, we recommend doing that first!

#### Why did we make a wiki?

1. The universe of Skyhold Academy became so much bigger than its creators ever intended or expected that even *we* have trouble keeping the details straight sometimes. So the wiki is as much to help us as it is to entertain the readers.
2. Not only is Skyhold Academy itself a big universe, it has a number of sub-universes in the form of stories written by some of the characters. The details aren't always the same from one sub-universe to another, so the hope is that this will allow them to remain disparate enough to keep track of the differences.
3. Because it's *fun*!
Michel de Chevin

**Michel de Chevin** is an instructor of foreign languages, chiefly Orlesian, first at the University of Orlais and then at Skyhold Academy.

### In The Series

Michel arrives at Skyhold Academy during the events of the first story, after Vivienne de Fer takes a leave of absence due to Bastien de Ghislain's illness. When her departure becomes permanent after Bastien dies, Michel agrees to remain at the post for the rest of the school year. He is somewhat hilariously oblivious to the fact that Cullen Rutherford is deeply jealous of him over his (incorrect) perception that Michel and Evangeline Trevelyan may be interested in each other. Like Cullen himself, Michel is deeply admired and there are many who have crushes on him; however, Evvy is not one of them. Toward the end of the story, after he and Evvy are engaged to be married, Cullen admits the whole thing to Michel and apologizes for any unkindness he may have displayed. Michel truthfully finds the whole thing fairly amusing and holds no grudges.

He is one of the participants in what Varric calls the 'aging boy band,' the five-man ensemble who often performs at various school functions. This further endears him to the student body.

TBC.

### In-Universe Trivia

* Despite being extremely attractive in both person and personality, Michel does not have any known love interests in the story until the events of the school talent show, at which he gets introduced to Cullen's older sister Mia. A later installment confirms that they're dating.
* Though he eventually joins the Skyhold staff permanently, he remains close with a few of his colleagues from the University of Orlais, prompting him to invite them to visit during the events of the Skyhold reunion.

### Meta Trivia

* It's a bit of a running joke between the authors that "We forgot Michel again!" They have a tendency to forget to include him in events, often forcing them to go back and edit to make it clear that he's participating in something.
