It's a pretty mixed bag on who speaks Orlesian and who doesn't. Cullen in particular gets increasingly suspicious and Fereldan whenever Anaïs is in vicinity chatting normally without a translator.

His least reasonable pet peeve is late sleepers. He’s an Obnoxious Morning Person who’ll huff that "you’ve wasted your day" but who’ll be in bed by like. 8. He and Bull lightheartedly clash on this further down the line. Bull usually wins.

Ariahris is stupidly in love with Josie, in a very Prototypical Romance type of way—the two can be pretty sickening when they find the time to be, which, of course, always boils down to scheduling.

If Varric met Warren, he'd call him Prince. It's a simple, easy jab that makes him visibly recoil every time. To Varric, it's an easy win.

Knox has a lot of solitary games he's picked up over the years. He's uncomfortable in most social interactions, so most of his hobbies keep him to himself. He knits. He gardens. (He actually realizes after a while that Leliana's been having her people water the flowers he's been growing in the bedroom, which is both touching and deeply alarming.) He's also really into astronomy, constellations, and stargazing.

Pippa's full name is Philomena Marielle Mabel Trevelyan. She goes by "Pippa" as one show of disrespect to her family out of many.

Ariahris and Krem regularly spend nights together at the tavern, exchanging stories, camaraderie, and enough drinks that jumping up onto the furniture (and, on occasion, Bull) seems appropriate. They’ve a very down to earth friendship and an open ear for one another—Krem’s the first person to really talk with Ariahris person to person and not the Herald of Andraste, and therefore the first person in the Inquisition with whom Ariahris feels truly comfortable.

Finnuala typically goes by "Fin". "Finnuala" feels flowy and elegant and too big to grow into–"Fin" is sharp, punchy, and that suits her just fine.
