1. Naenna honestly doesn't feel too strongly about her full name one way or the other. It's hers and no one else's, that's all that matters.

2. As a dalish, strangers often notice her valaslin first as they cover almost 3 quarters of her face. Then they would notice the strong, confident way they carry themselves and her steady gaze.

3. Honestly her personality is pretty much the same whether she's alone or with the group. She's usually stoic and doesn't feel the need to speak often, and conversations with her tend to be short and to the point. When she's alone though, she won't say a word!

4. This woman has has 2 crushes in her whole life, and she's acted the same way with both (once she comes to terms with it of course). When crushing she starts to, like, do reconnaissance on them? Just quietly observes them to find out their likes, their dislikes, and gift them to them whether directly or indirectly- all whilst gauging the other's own feelings for her. (In another life she would be a great investigator! 😂)

5. Good fucking luck trying to tell when she's lying or not- she has literally zero tells. Which makes her an absolute demon at Wicked Grace once she gets a hang of the rules.

6. Honestly had to think long and hard about this because I don't really think of particular smells when it comes to folks but I'd say other than her natural scent, leather and sword oil, you'd be able to every so often catch the sweet smell of mint- she secretly enjoys chewing on fresh mint leaves when she stumbles across it.

7. Naenna has 4c type hair which is such a dark brown it's practically black, and during the blight she keeps it shaved to the scalp. She starts to grow it out after the Blight however, like in her (gorgeous) art above!

8. Naenna has a few staple pieces of jewellery! She has 2 necklaces, her mother's heirloom which is a long necklace of small wooden beads all with different animals carefully carved around the surface and the darkspawn blood necklace that was given to her by Alistair at her Joining. She has a ironbark ring, given to her by Keeper Marethari before she had to leave the clan with Duncan and of course she has a small gold hoop earring in her left ear, given to her by Zevran.

9. She is a woman of few words, so they honestly don't have a particular phrase of word they overuse. If I had to stretch for an answer, I'd say they probably use 'fine' quite a bit? Especially if someone asks how she is!

10. Ooh I like this one! I'd say Naenna's weirdest quality is that she has freakishly good hearing! Like a fucking bat! Can't chat shit about her if she's around, she'll know. This does make it difficult for her to get to sleep sometimes however.

11. Am I biased when I say she looks amazing in any colour? Yes? Well she does. But if I had to pick, I'd say red. Whether it's a dark wine red or a bright strawberry red, she looks absolutely stunning.

12. Both platonically and romantically, the way she shows affection to those she loves is through acts of service. She'll quietly look after those she loves without even a blink, and her perceptiveness only hones her ability to find out what they need to feel better, like giving them some rations from her own pack, sharpening their weapons when they're too tired, amongst other things. With her lover, however, it includes more physical acts of service- shoulder rubs, brushing their hair, washing etc.

14. This is actually an uncomfortable topic of conversation for her- a clansmate admitted to her once that she was the spitting image of her mother, to an almost scary degree. Having never known her, or her father, and having nothing in her that reminded the clan of their beloved Keeper once deeply upset her growing up. However, unbeknownst to her, her laugh is just like her father's.

13. Naenna is comfortable with eye contact (very important when you're intimidating a bad guy) so honestly it depends on her conversation partner- but she's not someone who must have eye contact with her conversation partner.

15. Naenna's greatest strength is her iron will. She never cowers, never falters and never hesitates no matter what she faces. That will got her through some of the worst moments in her life. Her greatest flaw would be how she does not give second chances- once lost her good-will is lost forever and she cannot be moved on it, and she knows no mercy if it means protecting those she loves and the innocent.
