↠ BASIC INFO Character: Inessa Serra Info Page:Click Elevator Pitch: Inessa is an alienage elf-turned child prodigy apprenticed-turned new Grey Warden/griffon rider. (And she was in Kinloch Hold during Uldred's uprising, so carries a lot of quiet trauma from that.) She basically exists to help people and being a giant nerd about mage stuff. And make everyone feel tall, because 4'10". She also has a huge mabari/bottomless pit and everyone needs to spoil him.
↠ CONNECTIONS Where They've Been: Ferelden (Denerim, Kinloch Hold, Redcliffe), Orlais (Val Royeaux, Western Approach, Halamshiral), Nevarra, the Anderfels (also Tevinter, but she doesn't advertise that)
For timeline purposes, her life has been Circle mages until the war erupted, and then Grey Warden stuff immediately after. What They Do: Inessa is a Grey Warden, so her allegiance is to them first and foremost. Everything else is an extension of that.
She shares sleeping space with Ciri over in Camp Shady, and tends to be an early riser who doesn't sleep that much. Mornings are spent training/getting necessary chores out of the way before heading to Skyhold. In Skyhold, she's most easily found in one of the libraries with a pile of books, or playing fetch with Garahel in the courtyard. And of course, she's often in the company of the griffons, especially Potato.
Inessa offers herself as a tutor when available, for mages seeking to master ice magic, hexes or spirit magic. When she's better established as a Rift Mage, she'll offer to teach that specialization as well.
She also teaches some non-magic classes, Alchemy: Potions and Mabari Combat Training. Who They Know: Inessa spends the greatest amount of time with Ciri, Kain and after that, other fellow Wardens. Any Circle mage from Kinloch Hold is likely to know her or know of her, and possibly Denerim alienage folks though that last connection is pretty frayed. She might also know some of her fellow teachers, especially those that might fill in for her or vice versa. What They've Been Up To: Mostly the same old stuff, but now with the addition of griffon grooming/training. Inessa is working with Potato to become an adept griffon rider, and they work on this together or also with Kain, who Potato has also accepted. The search for a more dignified name continues.
She's also been delving into Necromancy studies and whatever spare time she has to herself is revolving around slowly progressing in that area.
↠ HOPES & DREAMS Plot Plans: No set plots for the moment, I want to see how she adjusts to the upcoming move. Most likely she'll be moving when the general population does, unless I change my mind. When that happens, she'll settle in at the Gallows, at least until other arrangements can be made. Development Goals: Inessa still has trauma related to abominations and whatnot, which I'll someday revisit. (Visiting Kinloch Hold may or may not be a part of this.) She has other issues to work on as well, but the trick is getting her to find people she trusts enough to share those. See wishlist.
CR Wishlist: Past CR is awesome, as mentioned above. I'd love her to make more friends and people who will help her unwind/not be so serious or a workaholic. I also love culture clashes that won't necessarily result in negative CR (though not avoiding it, either), so interactions with apostate mages or more elfy elves are always fine. Dog-lovers are definitely welcome.
↠ MISC What's one piece of gossip (true or not) about your character that's floating around Skyhold?: Ciri and Inessa are related. This is purely based on pale hair and similarly-placed scars. Write a one-sentence dating ad: Unrepentant dog-lover and bookworm doesn't seek someone who can get her to lighten up but probably needs it anyway. Anything else:
