Getting on the I love how you think about your OCs train with a question about Nennaia's traveling/quests choices: how did she decide where to go after the map opened up after Skyhold? What was her first choice and why? Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and no worries if you don't feel like answering! <3

because i get very indecisive in my gaming when u can choose which quests and areas to do first, i use my arbitrary powers as puppeteer to decide that only one of the next main quests after arriving at skyhold makes sense to have a hard time limit: wicked eyes & wicked hearts, which is set at an event u do not control and would presumably in-world have a date u do not control. so i send my inquisitors to the exalted plains and the emerald graves first, rushing to gain a foothold in orlais and a position of power from which to be taken seriously at the winter palace, rather than essentially only being known for pretending to divine power, allying with the rebel mages, and falling back from haven

however on a more character-driven note, i think given the two options, nennaia would prioritise orlais over the wardens anyway, mostly because of the information you get during in hushed whispers. naia is very scared of the future she saw in that quest, a world in which the people she loves have no chance at all. the destruction of thedas is her duty alone to prevent. and while both of the main quests after skyhold are relevant to that future, you only find out where the demon army comes in after playing hide and seek with hawke and the warden across both crestwood and the western approach. so naia is much more aware from the start that the next step towards corypheus’ future is the empress’ assassination. (it’s why letting that assassination go ahead for the sake of putting briala in power was such a dangerous sacrifice in her mind, and is something she still worries over. was it worth making that gamble to improve the elves’ future, when for all she knows, by doing so she may have handed orlais to corypheus and robbed them of any future at all?)

she would also lean towards the plan that involved visiting the exalted plains and the emerald graves sooner. i doubt clan lavellan would have travelled so far south in her lifetime, and i’m sure she has spent decades hearing of the dales and longing to see them for herself one day. she experiences great wonder and grief there and her desire to safeguard those areas in whatever way she can is fierce

oof Shadowheart’s act 2 quest…

So much kudos to her VA, she absolutely kills it- the way Shadowheart swings between fierce and determined to nervous and uncertain as she wavers over what to do…

Plus my own headcanons are being so fueled by that fight in the Shadowfell with Balthazar, who’s basically a mirror of Naia’s own Worst Possible Ending (descending so far in necromancy studies that she sacrifices her own humanity for it and ends up spending centuries alone in a laboratory with only constructs for company…)

So *that’s* what’s on Naia’s mind as she watches Shadowheart grapple with her own future, and how a part of her knows that if Shadowheart becomes a Justiciar she’ll lose her forever. How Nightsong even said Justiciars give up love. How Naia didn’t even have to pass a persuasion check in the end, and Shadowheart threw the spear away herself

I just love them a lot

Here's fierce Naia >:D ✨

This is a watercolor drawing I did a month ago instead of my homework and I just found it today O_ o r🌷

She's also one of my favorites and I wish she had more screen time Tv T (and I wish we had Amri too BDSNKFKS 👁️👁️)

Some quick and low effort dark Crystal doodles I did :)

Kylan: Naia, have you ever heard of a... catboy? Naia: Do you mean those young men who wear skirts on the internet? Kylan, chuckling: No, Naia, I'm talking about... [throws down folder labelled CLASSIFIED]... the real thing.

If these two for some reason aren’t made canon in the AoR timeline I’m probably gonna get violent

A little Drenchgrot wip for these trying times.

There’s a lot of blue going on in this piece (the background is a placement to see the base colors better.

I think Amri and Naia make a cute pair and I love Amri’s design, like his hair is everything! He looks so cool and I’m nearly done with Shadows….I know I’m so late.

I hope all of my Drenchgrot shippers enjoy this little treat

Me too bud, me too.

I wanted to draw Naia for pride month because her character helped me to realize and accept that I’m bi. I’d suppressed that part of me for a long time that I couldn’t even realize when I was having a crush on a girl-fictional or otherwise. When it finally clicked that I wasn’t just into her character because I thought she was cool, it was hugely validating! Even if it’s kind of silly (she’s practically a muppet!), Naia helped me feel more secure about who I am and the character will always have a special place in my heart.

Tl;dr: I saw a woman so beautiful I realized I really was bi and not just lying to myself the entire time.

My brother just said to me: "Don't start thirsting over characters. That's not okay."

While I'm just sittin' over here thinking like:
