## Biography

### **History**

Before Avalon’s birth, her parents, Reinlynn and Seriana, were a young elven couple that were desperate for work. Expecting a child made both less desirable for hard laboring jobs. Until they met Lord Edmund Arkon, an ill-tempered noble from Starkhaven, who offered them a nice plot of land where they were to plant and harvest his crops as payment. They agreed and for a short time all seemed well for the couple they gave birth to a healthy baby girl who they named, Shia. Until Edmund began to demand more from them and with their child recently being born, it became more and more difficult to keep up with their harvest. Eventually, he had grown sick of the elves' lateness and sent a band of mercenaries to make an example of them. Leaving out the fact that the couple were parents. It was far too late when they discovered the crying infant after the deed had been done.

Stephan Warde, the leader of the mercenaries, feeling guilty for having orphaned the child, took her to his brother, Rorick, and his sister-in-law, Marina, in Wycome; leaving her at their doorstep. The couple, being incapable of having children and always wanting to start a family, happily took the baby in and raised her as their own and renamed her Avalon. Much to the discomfort of the townsfolk. Now adopting an elf wasn’t exactly unheard of, but it was nowhere near being accepted. Avalon grew up being ostracized by elves and humans. Humans mocking her for her appearance and other city elves referring to her as ‘flat-ear’ due to her human upbringing. She tried desperately to learn of her elven roots, but there was only so much one can learn by just reading. Her family being purely Andrastian didn’t help much either. Though they never shamed her for wanting to learn, they weren’t exactly keen on hearing her discuss elven lore and gods at the dinner table. Though no matter what she read or how much she studied, she still felt a part of her was still missing. Something that she couldn’t find in Wycome. So upon turning 18, she decided that it was time to set out on her own. Discover her true self and make a name for herself. Though conflicted with having their only child leave at such a young age, her parents supported her decision and only hoped that she does find what she is so desperately looking for.

For the next few months, Avalon was barely getting by on her own. Travelling from one town to another, and getting by with petty theft. Her luck would change one day when she stumbled upon the camp of the infamous Valos-Kas. Desperate for money, snuck into the camp in the dead of night and managed to make off with a generous amount of coins. What she didn’t account for was dropping her prized dagger, a gift from her uncle when she had turned 17. She returned to the camp to retrieve her lost item, only to be captured by the band of criminals. However, instead of being beaten and left for dead, she was offered an opportunity. A girl with her kind of skills was hard to come by. So she was given the opportunity to join the group as one of their rogue assassins. She agreed and for the next two years worked at the side of the Valos-Kas. Until she was called to assist in the job at the Conclave on 9:41 Dragon.

Here's what happened after the events of said game, brosef.

## **Relationships**

Avalon is not that fond of bonding with people. Minus a few exceptions. It takes a lot to earn her trust. The only people she would consider friends in the beginning were Bartag and Ornak. Both of which were her trainers back when she was nothing more than a rogue. The inner circle is a whole different story. She had a tendency to butt-heads with her advisors and Cassandra wasn’t exactly her favorite person. She started to grow attached to Solas due to them both being elves and being kind enough to teach her of Elven lore. Sera practically turned into her twin sister . . . Or a clone if Avalon were a bit more unhinged (in a good way). Everyone else she developed respect towards, though Blackwall wasn’t exactly easy to forgive after his . . . Confession.
