Giveaway sketch for @thievinghippo of her Bethroot Cadash and Blackwall. Bethroot is absolutely gorgeous, and drawing her really made me want to play DA:I again with a dwarf Quizzy.

I didn't tear up when I saw my girl in game for the first time, you teared up when you saw my girl in the game for the first time

31 Days of DA - Introduce your Inquisitor

The one, the only, Bethroot Cadash

She has a ridiculous name and she knows it. Her mother thought she was giving her daughter a human name like Violet or Daisy. Instead, she was Bethroot

When Bethroot was 18 years old, she and her boyfriend, Lantos made a lyrium deal with some Templars and tried to keep the Dasher out of it. He found out anyway. Bethroot was beaten and tied to a chair. When Lantos was given the option of keeping the money and staying in the Dasher's good will by giving Bethroot a Glasgow smile, he did so immediately Thankfully, the Dasher only required half the smile before forgiving them both

For the next six years, Bethroot mainly worked on lyrium deals in Orzammar, becoming quite friendly with some of the nobles there. (She had a brief fling with King Bhalen before the Conclave)

Then she was sent to the Conclave and her life changed forever. Given the chance not to be a criminal for the first time in her life, she grabbed onto it with both hands. She tried to do as much good as possible, throughout Ferelden and Orlais

And then she fell in love with Blackwall. She thought they would only have a few years together because of the Calling, so she didn't truly mind the revelation of his past. After all, if she's able to reinvent herself as the Inquisitor, why shouldn't Blackwall?

After Trespasser, Bethroot and Thom Rainier traveled around all of known Thedas. While visiting Orzammar, they met a middle-aged cook named Edda in prison for stealing (she was giving food away to the the casteless). That brief encounter quite possibly changed the world

At the time of VG, Bethroot is 36 years old and she and Blackwall have a three-year-old daughter named Anise. Carrying a half-dwarf was very hard on Bethroot, so they know Anise will be an only child

After that? We'll have to wait and see!

And realized... that it's time to get Edda into the rotation, for my completionist run. So now I have Yichen (Neve romancer, level 35), Laire (Taash romancer, level 12), and new Edda (Emmrich romancer)

I am kinda sad that I'm going to delete her original save. With the 10 Rook limit, I can't afford two saves for her. Ah well. I'll get over it (and once again, can I say how happy I am that I can just import her into a new save?

But I will be taking notes and I will probably be posting a lot of screenshots for your (my) enjoyment
