Answering with Dianisamahl, a sentinel of Elgar’nan.
4. What would your character wear to a formal gathering such as a dance, a wedding, or a funeral?
Generally, a sentinel is expected to wear their armor. Since sentinels mostly attended formal gatherings as honor guards, Dianis would primarily wear that. However, a sentinel is sometimes given a leave of absence and Dianis took one to see her sister, Ryatha, graduate from the university in Arlathan. Since she technically doesn’t own anything or have her own money (she’s provided for by the temple she serves), a priest she was close with let her borrow one of their more modest dresses. Elgar’nan had clean, geometric aesthetics (which you still see in Dalish designs today) and Dianis likely looked quite intimidating, especially since she still wore a short sword on her hip.
9. Does your character have a dream job or life path for themselves?
Dianis is a simple woman. She wants to see Solas dead for his many, many crimes and the Evanuris (or at least Elgar’nan) freed from the prison he put them in. She wants to keep her sister safe and to plea for the gods to treat the Dalish with the love and kindness they deserve, as per her agreement with Belavhana. After that, she doesn’t ask for anything more. She doesn’t see why she would want to.
10. Does your character have a particular way of talking or acting?
Dianis maintains a crisp, formal air and has closed body language. Like many ancient elves living in the modern age, her speech sometimes comes off as florid, but this is less an aspect of her personality and more the result of translating the way Elven flows directly into the Trade Tongue. By Elven standards, she’s quite direct and simple.
Around people she’s close to, such as Ryatha, Belavhana, and Seldras, she will sometimes relax and loosen her body language and make jokes. She is a very mission-oriented person, however, and this is rare.
16. What’s one memory that your character will always be fond of?
The aforementioned graduation of her sister. A person doesn’t choose to be a sentinel, they are chosen by clergy and there is no opting out. However, the people that are chosen are usually offered something in exchange for their commitment, assuming that they successfully make it through sentinel training. Dianis asked for her sister to be elevated and granted an apprenticeship and a chance at university education. Ryatha is a smart woman and would have served Elgar’nan better as a researcher than a simple temple slave.
Ryatha struggled to meet the standards of her professors, having only a modicum of prior education in comparison to her peers. She put long, long hours into catching up and reading every scrap she could on her area of interest. She sacrificed a social life and even some of her health for the sake of graduating and defying the classist expectations set before her. She graduated in the top 3% of her class and when she and Dianis saw each other for the first time in decades after the ceremony, they both positively wept. Their mothers didn’t live to see their little girl grow up to become a respected scholar in Elgar’nan’s court, but they would have been so proud.
