Personality
{ ISFJ | Neutral Good | No Zodiacs | Eros }
Calanthe is a tempest of primal arcane power. She's dedicated her life to mastering her magic, her friends, and her family. A lively, bubbly and compassionate soul, Calanthe is often described as a "puppy," which also serves as a more polite nod to her Ferelden roots. However, despite her seemingly demure and jovial persona, Cala is prone to making sarcastic remarks and being very stubborn. Preened by her mother and hardened by her father, she has the pose of a noble and the honour of a warrior. For all her seemingly innocent goodwill, Cala's sarcasm is notorious. Her wit is stupid fast, but her brain-mouth filter is nearly non-existent. More still, it's stupidly easy to annoy her. While she generally has the patience of a saint, there are a few things that she simply does not have the time nor energy for. True to her forgiving and understanding nature, it's very difficult for Cala to be genuinely angry. But, while it might be hard to make her angry, she is very skilled at making her disappointment known. |
Relationships
{ Anders | Significant Other | Companion }
Calanthe's partner and closest friend. While they might not always agree on things, it's clear they care deeply for each other. As of the events leading up to Inquisition, the two are in a very tense position. { Aveline | Friend | Companion } A dear friend, Cala and Aveline share the job and duty of group mom. There are precious few Cala trusts at her back, and Aveline is one of them. { Bethany | Sister | Companion } Calanthe's younger sister and Carver's twin. The two practiced their magic together often as children. It's best not to bring her up, really. { Carver | Brother | Companion } Calanthe's younger brother and Bethany's twin. It's no secret they butt heads a lot, but Calanthe cares deeply for him. Despite the differences, they're the first to each others' defenses. { Fenris | Friend | Companion } The dichotomy in their beliefs is massive, and Calanthe isn't entirely sure how they've gotten along so well. They often converse about the day over a glass of wine. { Isabela | Friend | Companion } There are few who can make Cala feel comfortable in a crowded setting. Calanthe respects Isabela, and is grateful for her open-minded mentality. { Merrill | Friend | Companion } Cala isn't exactly sure how to describe the relationship she and Merrill have. While they're blatantly disagreed regarding blood magic, Cala does see Merrill as a friend, and even a bit like Bethany. { Sebastian | Ex-companion | Antagonist } Cala enjoyed talking with Sebastian and visiting the Chantry together. Following his recent actions, she's made it clear their next meeting will not be amicable. { Varric | Best Friend | Companion } The only person who can truly claim the title of "Hawke's Best Friend." He's the one she first befriended, and there is no person she trusts more. She would kill or be killed for him, and Varric knows it. |
