silverfoxflower | Ariel Tabris (Dragon Age: Origins OC)

Early twenties
Rogue: duel-wielder, assassin/duelist
Wavy chin-length red hair, facial tattoos, slim sporty body with small breasts, below average height, light blue eyes, lightly tanned skin with freckles
General personality: Tomboyish, good-natured, snarky. She doesn't like to verbalize her trauma or show strong emotions in general and tends to defer with light humor. There is a core of something dark in her, though, and she can show surprising brutality when the topic of nobles, rape or oppression of elves is brought up.
Interactions with strangers: Ariel takes a measured, neutral tone with most encounters, giving the impression that she mildly agrees with the speaker even as she privately judges them. If the speaker uses elven slurs to her face she will call them out with a dry tone, but not press to violence unless they double down. Subscribes to the "smile to their face so you can stab them in the back" approach.
Interactions with friends/those closer: Generally playful and (depending on the person) casually flirtatious. Gets along best with Shale, Zevran, Alistair and Leliana. Is curious/happy to listen to others talk, but strongly avoids sharing her own traumatic history.
Morality: Neutral good, prioritizing change/flexibility/freedom. She is earnest about helping others, but doesn't care to subscribe to laws that were originally designed to oppress her (i.e. is perfectly happy to steal from nobles). Sees most factions as inherently neutral and complicated, and avoids taking sides unless necessary, UNLESS the topic of slavery/removal of freedom is brought up (i.e. Anvil of the Void) in which case she is uncompromising in opposing it.
Attitude towards love: Though she is a casual flirt, Ariel tends to keep her "serious" love interests at arm's length and shies away from commitment. She still wears her wedding ring, not because she was in love with her former groom, but to remind her that love is fleeting, fragile and painful, a distraction from the work at hand. When she does fall in love, it is for forever, though she has to be dragged kicking and screaming into admitting it to herself.
