Isabela may have been slightly out of her depth when she decided to take in Lydia, an untrained mage child, but thankfully Anders is looking for a mage-friendly place beyond the Templar's eyes 👀

I've mentioned here before how Lydia was trained by both Anders and Isabela, so I wanted to explore that a little bit more!

Despite semi-raising a child together, Anders and Isabela don't become romantically involved with each other. They do become closer friends through their shared love of Lydia than they ever were in Kirkwall, though.

While she was close to both of them, saying Isabela and Anders "raised" Lydia wouldn't really be accurate, as neither really filled in a parent role. While Anders was the more traditional "mentor" figure for Lydia, Isabela was more like her Much Older Buddy (for better and for worse). Lydia still had a lot of freedom as a child once she escaped enslavement, and was often involved with the Lords without either of them.

Lydia's Dagger-and-Orb fighting style is a result of being trained by both of them, as she wasn't making much progress with the traditional mage staff.

Being so familiar with Anders and the spirit of Justice possessing him is a big part of the reason Lydia is so unfazed with Spite possessing Lucanis, even if the circumstances are Different

i feel like i must have talked about this before but the constant exclusion of mages from being innocent people ("mages, templars, and the innocents caught between them/too many innocent lives have been lost because of the fighting between the mages and the templars.") is so. genuinely infuriating now that im playing dai again.
