So since I started playing DA Inquisition again, I'd been thinking on some stuff about my DA canon again.
My Inquisitor, Ivenya "Ivey" Lavellan, stealth rogue and middle child of three. Younger brother Nav'en, healer mage, and older sister Miriaa, combat mage. All raised in clan Lavellan with their parents.
Around the time Ivey is 15, the clan was passing nearby to an Orlesian city, and a Chevalier and his men attacked some of the clan's members who were far from the clan proper, and while Ivey is able to hide in a tree, her parents are killed. Other deaths are few, Ivey and the others make it back to the clan. The siblings are not taking it well, but an angry Ivey and disillusioned Miriaa begin to argue about what to do, as Ivey wants revenge but Miriaa doesn't want to lose her too.
As the clan starts to move to avoid further attacks, Ivey sneaks off one night to get her revenge. Miriaa soon notices she's gone and tries to track her down. Ivey snuck her way into the Chevalier's home, finding him lounging alone late at night, and after a short scuffle with him unprepared, Ivey had taken her first life and he laid bloody on the floor. His daughter Adelaide, the same age as Ivey, had heard the scuffle and had come down to investigate only to find the aftermath. She ran in fear, yelling for anyone. Two guards would rush towawrd the scene, but before they could find and face Ivey, Miriaa took them out in surprise. Miriaa without word dragged her sister out of the city, taking her back to the clan. She never told them what happened and where they went, and it would be months before Ivey told Nav'en what happened that night.
Ivey fearing the loss of more family became more protective over Nav'en, as much as he insisted it wasn't needed. Miriaa became more and more distant from the clan and her siblings over many months, and nearly a year after losing their parents Miriaa left the clan by herself one night, without warning. Nav'en was upset by this, but Ivey was upset and angry. Miriaa travelled on her own for six years, with nothing of her travels going back to the clan. Being a general nuisance to anyone she didn't like, from Templars to Chantry folk to those fearful of apostates, Miriaa always found trouble somewhere, and did little to stop it.
Eventually at age 22, Ivey ends up at the Conclave. Several major events later, she is appointed the very young and inexperienced Inquisitor. About two weeks after the reclamation of Skyhold, Miriaa would turn up at the keep to see her sister, alongside an Orlesian human woman, Adelaide, with neither women knowing the past they share. Fair to say emotions run high during this encounter.
