#JadaBrosca didn't ask for it, but it's better than Dust Town. She warms up to "hero"
#AdrienneHawke would give it all up to have her family back
#GavrenCadash never wanted worship, but he accepts it if it means he can help
#MarideRiva doesn't feel worthy, but its a job and they're a professional
#JadaBrosca always stands up for the little guy
#AdrienneHawke is ride or die for her friends
#GavrenCadash is extraordinarily kindhearted
#MarideRiva is very straightforward and honest
#JadaBrosca is a knife-thrower
#AdrienneHawke is a clown
#GavrenCadash is the ringmaster
#MarideRiva is an acrobat
Holy shit this was so easy lmao
Maybe I'm just a weirdo who likes giving Hawke mommy issues, but i see the "finding a suitable husband" as a point of conflict between Leandra and Hawke, and Leandra's heteronormativity toward her bisexual daughter is just one more thing when she doesn't want to get married at all.
#AdrienneHawke
#JadaBrosca - bisexual, cis woman
#AdrienneHawke - also bi, woman (but would probably id as nonbinary if she cared enough?)
#GavrenCadash - gay man, genderqueer
#MarideRiva - bi, nonbinary/agender
#JadaBrosca - her temper. She gets violent very easily
#AdrienneHawke - never taking anything seriously, her inability to read the room
#GavrenCadash - people-pleasing. He'll gladly hurt himself to make someone else like him
#MarideRiva - their impulsivity & anger bites them in the ass a lot
#JadaBrosca - her shrewdness. She is very street smart and can sense bad intentions from a mile away.
#AdrienneHawke - her free spirit. She hates being confined or tied down and that makes her an excellent rebel mage
π§΅
#JadaBrosca - a skimpy leather bodice with the shoulder straps falling down
#AdrienneHawke - Varric/Isabela's clothes, no underwear
#GavrenCadash - a slutty silk robe with lingerie and/or shibari underneath
#MarideRiva - a long, dark collared shirt unbuttoned to the waist, no pants.
I love how in my canon, Adrienne and Jada have shared two of the same sexual partners. Everybody's fucked everyone by proxy lmao
#JadaBrosca #AdrienneHawke
Varric sexily twirling a crossbow bolt between his fingers
Adrienne Hawke talking to Varric with a suspicious expression. Carver is looking at her as she's speaking.
"This guy is definitely trying to scam us..."
#AdrienneHawke #VarricTethras #CarverHawke
Adrienne Hawke in the Gallows Courtyard during the DA2 prologue. She has fair skin, short brown hair, and silver-grey eyes. She looks a bit like a young Olivia Wilde.
Ugh she's so freaking pretty π
#AdrienneHawke
Our girl is looking like herself now #AdrienneHawke
#AdrienneHawke has flirted with basically the whole Kirkwall crew at some point. She doesn't really go for the angsty ones tho. Definitely not serious about Anders or Fenris. She playfully teased Anders a couple times and he came back super intense and she's like OK back up buddy were not doing this
"Hawke?" Varric rumbled, voice still rough with sex. "Hmm?" Hawke hummed in acknowledgement against his chest. "We should probably talk about Bianca." "What, you want to bring your crossbow into the bedroom?" Hawke teased, tilting her head to grin up at him. "A bit of an odd fetish, but I'm open-minded." "No, Hawke," Varric sighed. "The girl she's named after." "Oh," Hawke's voice faltered as her expression fell. "Who is she?" "She's a lot of things. A lot of very complicated things." He had started talking before he knew exactly where to begin. "She's a smith. She's a genius. She created Bianca β the crossbow that is. She's one of a kind." Varric took a deep breath. "We wereβ¦involved. Several years ago now. But her parents are Kalnas β Dwarven traditionalists, you know. They never approved of me, and I lost her to an arranged marriage." "I'm sorry, Varric." Hawke's otherworldly silver eyes were brimming with uncharacteristic sincerity. "Don't be. I never deserved her, anyway."
He paused. Hawke waited for him to continue, brows furrowed in focus. "We write letters, and we manage to meet up every once in a while. We risk a clan war every time we do, though." "Do you love her?" Hawkes voice was barely above a whisper. She wasn't asking the easy questions. "I do," Varric confessed. "So, where does that leave us?" "Oh, Varric," she said. She lifted her hand to trail her fingertips along his stubbled jaw. "I don't make any claims over you. You said it was complicated with her? It doesn't have to be with me. I'm here for as long as you want me." "Promise you won't get hitched to some snooty nobleman?" "Do you know how many suitors my mother has thrown at me? And I've never been engaged once." "Of course. No one could ever tie you down. It's what I like about you." "Good," she said, and kissed him.
It's not #WIPWednesday yet, but I'm super proud of this scene y'all
#AdrienneHawke #VarricTethras #HawkexVarric
#JadaBrosca will always resent her mother for being a useless drunk and always being bitter even when she lived in a fucking palace and was mother to a paragon.
#AdrienneHawke also resented her mother for blaming her for Bethany's death, but then she died horribly and she got over it.
π§΅
He and #AdrienneHawke were in love. They ended up in bed together after they returned from the Deep Roads and got plastered, and they never really looked back.
#GavrenCadash considered him a close and trusted friend. They got along well since they're both smartass dwarves who care too much.
π§΅
Bonus non-canon but canon-to-me LIs
Varric/ #AdrienneHawke - no big gesture here, just drinking at the Hanged Man one night watching her laugh at her own joke and he knew he was gone
π§΅
Zevran/ #JadaBrosca - when she reacted with sympathy and understanding rather than judgment when he told her about Rinna
Isabela/ #AdrienneHawke - when Hawke still wanted Isabela in her life after the Qunari debacle, doubly so when she helped get her ship back
π§΅
#JadaBrosca was terrified of rain the first time she saw it on the surface. She still hates thunderstorms, even if she's indoors
#AdrienneHawke hates rats. When she saw them at Gamlen's house she would make Ser Slobber (her dog) get it. It took a lot to not freak out when she saw one at Merrill's
#JadaBrosca: feisty, resilient, shrewd
#AdrienneHawke: goofy, outgoing, loud
#GavrenCadash: kind, charming, hedonistic
#MarideRiva: blunt, impulsive, loyal
#JadaBrosca - bisexual, cis woman
#AdrienneHawke - bisexual, polyamorous, gender-apathetic woman
#GavrenCadash - gay, polyamorous, genderqueer man
#MarideRiva - bisexual, nonbinary/agender
I'm pretty sure they're all demiromantic to some extent, too.
Jada Brosca was despised for existing in Orzammar. Of course she relished getting out of there and coming back a hero, and eventually being named a Paragon.
Adrienne Hawke never asked to be a hero. She just wanted to protect her family, which she ultimately couldn't do.
