I cant resist a demon in a nightgown

Well teehee. She will enter 🦇🧛‍♀️

Iseuda is a noble from Starkhaven, born to a highly religious family with deep and close ties to the Chantry. And because of those ties, they simply would not accept that their daughter was born a mage. Simply could not be. Why would the Maker punish and shame us like that. So they would simply ignore it, while attempting every method to "cure" her without templar involvement.

Well, eventually, that just isn't feasible anymore. In her teens, she just cannot control her magic abilities, and Iseuda is pulled from her already limited public life, and rumors are spreading. With the help of a high ranking Templar and close childhood friend of Iseuda's mother, they fake documents of Iseuda being sent to become a lay-Sister in a Chantry in Orlais to explain her absence without risking their reputation. In reality, Iseuda is actually locked away in the family estate's attic, with the Templar creating special wards to subdue her magic and connection to the fade. The family puts her off their minds, and the Templar is the only man Iseuda has any contact with and who takes care of her for the next 4-5 years

Eventually, Iseuda's despair is strong enough to garner the attention of a very powerful Hunger demon, who manages to slip between the wards. Together, the demon and Iseuda hatch a plan to take revenge on her family, and Iseuda becomes an abomination

Iseuda manages to get the Templar under her thumb, appealing to his unrequited pining (and obsession tbh) with her mother and Iseuda's obvious likeness to her. When his guard is down, and he begins to take apart the wards, Iseuda attacks and fatally wounds him. She doesn't kill him, but slowly feeds off his mana for the following week to gain strength and lives in the walls of the house for the duration

Iseuda plants fake evidence in the appropriate places to implicate the now-dead Templar, and sets the entire estate on fire. In the chaos of the family trying to escape, Iseuda personally "takes care" of them, and slips into the night.

Well, being the only surviving member of the Courbis family and only heir, she makes the grueling and oh so long journey back from her lay-Sister duties in Orlais back to Starkhaven and rebuilds the estate after the tragic murder of her family. so sad. 

She quickly garners sympathy and help from the rest of the noble class of Starkhaven, and even becomes a close ally of the ruling Vael family for her good Andrastian nature, and her donations to the Chantry and care of their Templars. So what if every now and then she takes a bite of one for their potent mana. No one needs to know

When the Vael family massacre happens, Iseuda decides its best not to stick around, and claims her former Chantry in Orlais has requested her financial aid and close eye. She moves to Orlais and cements her position there

Oh that's such a dangerous route to go. I can't see a scenario that ends in a normal relationship with Iseuda, she cannot be fixed. If you try to fix her she will kill you. If you offer her a drink she will most likely end up killing you. If you catch her eye in the romantic sense she will go full Dracula mode. She is living in your walls she is ruining your day and youre finding roses in places they shouldnt be. If you find out her demon nature and engage in a psychosexual enemies-and-lovers battle (either physical or political) I think that would be the most fun for her.

But you'd have to show her geniune passion– not for her, but for life. You'd also have to get past her three children (her demon-dogs. Not actual children)

And definitely, there will be an ending where you can choose either to kill her or accept her nature. It's gonna be very dramatic. It's gonna be in the rain. There will be bodies and tears
