A more head-on shot from the courtyard showing Issala's face better. (Check parent post for longer descriptions.)

Issala with a smile, indoors in the harsh blue lighting of the Lighthouse library.

A couple more with slightly better angles and different lighting.

Bethany pausing with her eyes closed to let the sun caress her after stepping out of the Library and out of the long shadows of the other buildings falling on the courtyard. Bethany is a middle-aged fem human with a short, curly dark brown bob and a full figure, here clad in pink, red and silvery gray outfit with puffy juliet sleeves and light armoring in the silvery vest and vambraces.

Sunshine.

Bethany in Veilguard CC. Same amber brown eyes and slightly square face with prominent cheeks and a button nose giving her a shallow side profile. Her gently curling hair is in a short bob, and has faded slightly from the near-black all three children got from their father.

A younger Bethany with her long wavy locks. Dragon Age 2 capture.

The mother, Leandra, whom the twins Bethany and Carver resembled very closely and conversely Leandra looked much like Bethany when she was young. The aged-up Bethany has distinct features from her mother as depicted here, especially the overall slimming of roundness but the jawline filling out a little, the hint of nasolabial folds, and the eyes appearing to sink a touch. Dragon Age 2 capture.

I keep saying this and then fiddling but I think Bethmommy is just about where I hoped and I should stop. I aged her from the 20 here to the 41 of Veilguard, using mama Leandra (47 here) for some cues.

'Sunshine' was Varric's best work.
