Dragon Age: Origins/Characters/DLC Characters: Difference between revisions

''"I know a human crime when I see it, I have experienced more than enough of them."''

 

 

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]

* [[The Atoner]]: While she'd never admit it, part of her reason she joins the Warden is to make up for being an unwitting pawn in the Architect's plans.

* [[Berserk Button]]: She's ''very'' sensitive about her ears. Any implication of them being oversized sends her into even more of a fit than usual.

{{quote| '''Velanna''': [[I Resemble That Remark|You make me out to be some kind of shrill harpy!]]<br />

'''The Warden''': [[Sarcasm Mode|My mistake. Yelling is clearly out of character for you.]] }}

* [[Gaia's Vengeance]]: Her abilities lean towards offensive nature-based spells.

* [[Jerkass]]: Think Morrigan, but replace the [[Deadpan Snarker|snark]] with outright hostility.

** To be fair, Morrigan got a whole 60+ hour game's worth of development. Velanna, a character in an expansion pack, got almost none.

** Although one epilogue has her protecting humans from a bandit attack, a far cry from when the Warden first meets her.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Her companion quest can only be triggered through a random encounter that has a low chance of occurring. Many players cannot even trigger the encounter at all.

* {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body]]: If the Warden leaves her at Vigil's Keep and doesn't abandon Amaranthine, then this happens to her.}}

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Nathaniel.

* [[Tsundere]]: Normally none too fond of humans, she does get deredere towards Nathaniel when the two start chatting.

* [[Literal Minded]]: Takes a while to understand that Sigrun's death is symbolic.

* [[Magic Knight]]: His default specialization, Spirit Warrior.

* [[Warrior Poet]]: "A world so full of beauty that beauty goes overlooked."

* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: Justice finds himself envious of the love between Kristoff and his widow Aura, but also associates such feelings with Desire Demons.

* [[Name's the Same]]: [[Jade Empire]] features a [[Expy|very similar looking demon with the same name.]]

* [[Nightmare Face]]: The bleeding face, and the {{spoiler|way the lower part of her face opens up and comes off when you fight her}}.

* [[Was Once a Man|Was Once a Woman]]: As a Broodmother, she was once a humanoid woman who suffered a [[Fate Worse Than Death]].

 

* [[My Greatest Failure]]: {{spoiler|Creating the Mother and turning Urthemiel into the fifth Archdemon.}}

* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: With a nice dash of [[Body Horror]], as it appears to be a part of his body.

* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Breaking It Antivillain]]: Pretty much everything that happens in ''Awakening'', and for that matter, ''Origins'', can be traced back to him and his own efforts to combat the Blights. The Mother? His doing. The death of all the Wardens and most of the soldiers at the Vigil? His attempt to forge an alliance there that went wrong. The awakening of Urthemiel and the beginning of the Fifth Blight in the first place? His doing!}}

* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: {{spoiler|He goads the Hard Line Guards into torturing him before Sketch, because they'll remove Sketch's hands to prevent him using magic, and he figures the punishement they have in store he could take. Unfortunately, he is wrong.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lion]]}}

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red to Sketch's blue.

* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Against Orlesians.

* [[Hypocrite]]: He hates Orlesians but has no issue with sleeping with Marjolaine.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: See [[Cluster F-Bomb]]. Also, his reaction if {{spoiler|Leliana tells him that she will expose his attempts to start a war with Orlais.}}
