Elera Lavellan

Your caption

**Elera Lavellan** (born c. 9:16 Dragon) is a Dalish elven rogue. She is most known as the Inquisitor, or much to her disdain as the Herald of Andraste. She gained the title of Inquisitor after being appointed by the four advisers at Skyhold shortly after claiming it for the Inquisition.

## Overview

### **Physical Appearance**

Standing at 5’7” Elera is rather tall for an elf. This paired with her sturdy build makes her stand out from the average elf. Her complexion is pale and rosy. She has dark brown wavy hair, like her mother, which she typically keeps at shoulder length. Her eyes are hazel, like her father, the colour fading from green to brown as it gets closer to the pupil. She proudly wears the vallaslin of Dirthamen in a deep purple colour. Her vallaslin usually draws attention from the smattering of freckles and small scar on her nose.

### **Personality**

Elera is cautious but fiercely loyal to those she trusts and will forgo caution if they come in harm's way. She is wary and usually quiet around new people but once she warms up to them she reveals her true nature. She may resort to humour when things are dire or when it isn’t quite appropriate but usually tries to approach situations with the appropriate tact. Though she usually hides it quite well she is a sensitive person much to her chagrin. She may seem gloomy and pessimistic, which is mostly true, but she secretly has a little bit of hope that things will turn out well. Personal conflict is very uncomfortable for Elera so she often bottles up her true emotions and tries to act diplomatically instead. Ultimately Elera is humble and overly critical of herself much to her mental detriment.

### **Talents and Skills**

Elera has a range of talents both non-combat and combat related, though she would never say so herself.

* Dual blades, lock picking, stealth
* Knot-making
* Tracking
* Painting
* Plant Knowledge/Herbalism

#### **The Wrath of Heaven**

Elera felt as though she had little choice but to go along with Cassandra and her companions. She feared that no matter what she said they would place blame on her and thus she kept conversations short and said little unless absolutely necessary. Her lack of memories around how she arrived in this position worried her greatly along with the strange mark on her hand. Elera felt she was out of her depth but was ultimately pleased that she could be of help in closing the rifts that had formed.

#### **The Threat Remains**

The amount of people around upon her exit of the small house after she wakes is quite overwhelming for Elera. She hears people throwing out the title Herald of Andraste and is silently stunned to realise that they mean her. The feeling that she shouldn’t be here only grows the closer she gets to the chantry. Meeting all these new people made her think of how much she would rather be with her clan.

Seeing the chaos in the Hinterlands firsthand makes Elera rethink her initial plan to find a way back to her clan. Her prolonged time there only reinforces that thought and she decides to stay with the inquisition until she is no longer needed.

Letter from keeper

Elera never imagined she would visit Orlais given the situation of the elves there. Her time there certainly left an impression on her. That being that she never wanted to visit again. Though she did not care for the chantry even she could admit things were not right. The only good to come from her visit there was more allies for the inquisition and meeting Fiona.

Upon her return there was a reply from keeper

She almost laughed when it was suggested that she should consider contacting the templars for help. Elera promptly shut that idea down and affirmed that she would be contracting the mages instead.

#### **In Hushed Whispers**

Elera was silently horrified when she learned that mages had made a deal with Tevinter. Though she felt uneasy in the situation she ultimately decided to go ahead with making a deal with the mages.

Seeing the horrible future that would befall Thedas without her intervention shook Elera to her core. During her journey back to the present she often found her thoughts drifted to her family and what would’ve happened to them in this world. This only strengthened her resolve to return and fully commit herself to the inquisition.

Dorian’s humour helped her feel at ease around him despite him being from Tevinter. Elera was uncertain that if she hadn’t gone through the time travel incident with him that she would’ve been more closed off with Dorian.

Seeing her companions sans red lyrium and perfectly fine made her feel strange. She would often think back to the companions that sacrificed themselves so she had a chance to set things right. The Venatori also consumed a lot of her thoughts.

#### **In Your Heart Shall Burn**

She couldn’t believe that they’d taken the crucial first step in bringing some order to Thedas without a hitch.

She rescues everyone she can

Thought she would die in Corypheus’ grasp

Surprised she lived desperately moves forward hoping to find the rest of the inquisition

Confused by singing but appreciated music

Being made inquisitior was surprising to her. She felt she wasnt right for the role, and lacked leadership experience. She secretly enjoyed feeling special and being given this role only made her more determined to do a good job

#### **From the Ashes**

After speaking with Josephine and Varric, Elera decided that dealing with Orlais was the highest priority. Elera thought it was funny that she would be returning to Orlais.

#### Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts

Elera did not think things would be easy for her at the Winter Palace and she couldn't have been more right.

### **Post-game**
