Mithra’ama’nira Lavellan.
Part time Inquisitor. Full time dork. Love of my life.
I plan to make a full introduction post for her at some point, but for now more relevant info under the cut.
Mithra'ama'nira is her formal elvhen name. It translates roughly to pearl of the heavens. She uses Ama'nira with non-dalish as many find it difficult to pronounce. Close friends and family call her Nira. This means she goes through most of Inquisition being referred to as Ama'nira and Nira almost exclusively.
She is one of twelve siblings. Her mother is an Antivan city elf. Their entire family is trilingual, but predominantly use antivan and dalish elvish. They have subtle Antivan accents.
Her mothers family line are descendents of a high priestess of Ghilan'nain. In my lore, Ghilan'nain "blessed" her 4 high priestesses with her visage and enhanced their magic. This became a bloodline trait passed down from mother to daughter, so all the afab people in Nira's family line have golden eyes, are extremely pale, and have the hair. It is rare for them not to be born a mage as well. The family has lost all record of this connection, and just think it is a bit of a quirk of their genes.
Ama'nira is autistic, and also struggles with anxiety. Some of her core hyperfixations are the Grand Necropolis of Nevarra, the craftsmanship behind the tools used to make Vallaslin, 3 select Green Knights that led Clan Lavellan from the Dales, and any elvhen history she can get her hands on.
She is not a talented mage. She had a traumatic incident with it when she was young that makes her over think it, and has never figured out how to move past it. Therefore she is not the First of Clan Lavellan, but in fact the Third.
She has a very complicated and unhealthy relationship with her mother.
I have had this character in the works for the better part of four years. She is a part of a whole gaggle of oc's that work together during Inquisition in my canon. I've had such a blast developing a Lavellan clan and family for her. Since most of what we see in the games and books are clans dwindling in numbers, I wanted to explore making a clan that is very large and finding new ways of adapting to the changing world they live in. This was even more fun to play with and create a multi-cultural family.
Give me an oc. I can and will run away with the world building for it.

“What is the old Dalish curse? May the Dread Wolf take you?”
My M!Lavellan x Solas. His name is Lui'lan Lavellan (it's a canto name meaning lightning orchid since he's a mage) and I just love :) tragedy.
I also made a playlist as a companion to this piece! You can listen to it here.

“Dearest Mi’Var,
As you may suspect, the contents of this correspondence must remain of the utmost secrecy. I shall get straight to the point. In response to your inquiry: it is true. I was of Clan Sabrae, and I was Ethlas Mahariel.
I have spent many seasons wondering if we would ever connect again. I have spent just as many wondering what I might say to you if we ever did. I don’t think there are words enough to explain my choices, nor enough to convey my deepest apologies.
I wish I could tell you that the secrecy of my identity was a selfless one. That it was a sacrifice for the Clan’s safety. That’s what I told myself in the beginning. In truth, I was afraid. Afraid of facing the Clan again. I failed our Keeper once; I scarce thought she would wish to hear from me again. Yet in doing so, I failed you twice. And for this I apologize. I can’t imagine the grief you must have felt.
I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, but I shan’t expect it.
Enclosed, you will find a relic of our people. It is an Elvhen sending stone, created to connect two souls across space. If I may make one request of you, I ask you to please use it. I wish to hear your voice again... I miss you terribly.
May June’s fire keep your blade ever sharp,
Ethlas Atheranion Mahariel”
— A letter from Warden-Commander Elias to Inquisitor Brielle Lavellan

Sometimes, I can tell a new obsession is approaching. Or an old one returning. I can tell weeks in advance.
It starts with a random “oh, wouldn’t that be neat?” thought. Listening to the soundtrack while working. Then collecting references for a character portrait, or some doodled sketches, looking at other people’s art, maybe some GIFs and screenshots saved for future color studies, slowly snowballing out of control, and then two weeks later, I ~NEED~ to replay/reread/rewatch the thing.
On that note, I started re-playing DA:I just after I finished this portrait of my Inquisitor a few months ago :)

• Laurel Lavellan 🌿🌼 •
My newest inquisitor! He's a Dalish Warrior and romanced Iron Bull~ I think his personality would be reminiscent to a purple hawke, and only allows Bull to see his morose side.
Here's some in game pics:
