Character: Adelaide LeBlanc (Original Native) Occupation/Role: Spirit Healer, Aequitarian Member of the Inquisition's Mage Council, Poultice/Potion Maker, Teacher A/R/N/M: 36, Human, Orlesian, Mage Elevator Pitch: Adelaide is an Orlesian Spirit Healer of a noble family with finite patience for fools, far too many injured to tend to, a small flock of apprentices and mages from The White Spire that have come to the Inquisition from Andoral's Reach along with her to mind, a wry demeanor and a heaping helping of PTSD courtesy of the events of Dragon Age: Asunder. She works hard to heal those that come to her, to continue the education of her wards, and to keep far from Templars if she can help it. If not, to remain civil. Since Arriving she's become a member of the Inquisition's Mage Council and is struggling with how to handle that in a balanced and civil manner. It is a work in progress. Being of a more moderate viewpoint means playing peacekeeper and urging compromise from both sides of the discussion- it's. Stressful.
Opinions:Mages are her people for better or for worse. She teaches those that come to her and remains infinitely frustrated with the violent outbursts from pockets of apostates. There is a better way to handle this, they are in a position to do BETTER than they have before and need to take the opportunity granted with both hands. Templars are all but triggering for her due to the events in the white spire. They leave her frustrated and formal at best and outright hostile at worst. Her ability to extend the benefit of the doubt or any trust is slowly being rebuilt and for the sake of appearances and harmony, she's attempting to work with them. Attempting being the operative word. The Chantry She used to believe in their laws and regulations but then- well. The spire. Now she thinks they're full of shit, all pretty words and empty promises. Elves Some of her best students have been, as well as one mentor. They are no less capable and the inequality is baffling to her but she knows damn well it's not he place to say anything on it. Dalish are impassioned, opinionated, and infuriating. She wants to work with them in the council, she truly does, but a way to do so without coming off as condescending isn't possible just yet. Dwarves Make amazing things but she's never met one in person. Qunari She knows more Vashoth than Qunari proper, but those she knows have left her with a positive opinion of them at least. Qunari that follow the Qun leave her wary for their treatment of mages. Humans are stupid in large groups more often than not. Individuals are worth noting. Politics give her a headache and yet she is now mired in them. Rifters are as lost as the rest of them, doubly damned for the fact this isn't even their world.
Where They've Been: Raised in an Orlesian Noble Estate until her magic came about, Adele studied magic in The White Spire until the events of Dragon Age Asunder. Before that she'd be sent out to heal those that paid for her services with a guard, usually to places in Orlais or small villages in Ferelden, especially after the Blight. After the spire fell she and the remaining mages fled to Andoral's Reach and only recently traveled from there to Skyhold. She has now also been to the Fallow Mire. It was not fun.
Future Plans: Dealing with the shattering of her faith in the system and the Chantry. Working through her distrust of templars and her frustrations with apostates, learning to be both a voice of reason in the council without sacrificing her point of view for the sake of peace. Also training people in ice or spirit magics, sassing them as she heals them, and dealing with weird patients. Handling her new position of guidance for the other mages and balancing that with her own issues and prejudices. Her family is now aware that she's alive so I mean to have some noble shenanigans coming down the line. Betrothal bs and the like.
CR Desires: A little of everything would be awesome. Adele lost a lot of people and learning to reach out and have more people would do wonders for settling her. People to mind, people to argue with, to educate and be educated by, to try to remind her that she's more than just a mage or just a healer and that it's ok to love, that'd be great.
