Ilia starts out a very faithful Andrastian and ends up disillusioned. Deconstruction is rough on her. She knew the chantry needed reform, but it was worth reforming because she KNEW there was a Maker, and now she's just...not sure of anything. She doesn't feel free; she feels alone 😭

Going through screenshots and I fucking love this moment in the chess scene where you can tell Cullen you should spend more time together, and he's like "what about Blackwall" and then the camera cuts to Ilia making this face, like she truly has no idea what flirting is and just OH NO WHAT HAVE I

I eagerly await your judgment

I recruited him late because I didn't realize he was going to be a companion, and I expected him to be kind of mid 😭 I liked his beard but I thought he seemed too old (😭) and boring (⁉️) for Ilia. Then he was so fucking charming that he derailed all my plans for the game (and the rest of my life tbh)

Unless there is a nice plot reason to bring someone else, the go-to groups are:

Amélie - Alistair, Leliana, and Shale (and Dog, always Dog)

Hawke - Varric, Aveline, and Isabela

Ilia - Blackwall, Dorian, and Sera

Jess - Lucanis and Davrin

I feel weirdly emotional about it being Inquisition's birthday, and I don't think I can actually accurately talk about how much this game means to me. So anyway, here's my Ilia, as always 💚 you can just picture me carrying her around at all times, clutching her to my chest

It was a shocking revelation for her demi ass, because she hadn't felt that way about anyone in an extremely long time. And then, of course, he pushes her away, so it takes a while for them to actually end up together, even though they both know how they feel.

Ilia fell in love over months of late night campfire chats and early morning sparring sessions. She didn't realize it was happening until the night Haven was attacked, and she knew she wouldn't be as afraid to lose him as she was if she hadn't started seeing him as more than a friend. 👇

Mostly she feels overwhelmed. She really believes she's been chosen by the Maker to do something important, and she doesn't believe she deserves it or that she can live up to the titles she's given. I don't think she would call herself a hero, but she is aware history will probably call her one.

Yes yes that one

For #DAFanFriday, I've finally posted the first chapter of my big fic!

Ilia Trevelyan goes looking for a Grey Warden in the woods and finds something more than she expected.

It's Thom 💚

At the start of DAI, Ilia tells Cassandra that she'll go back home to Ostwick when this is all over, because where else would she go? It's where she's from, even if she feels like an outsider when she's there. But then she experiences for the first time what it's like to have people 👇

Cross stitching this for inkyblackfire! It's been so fun to work on (minus this part where I should have picked better icons ahfjdhdkd 😆)

He calls her Ballerina because

1) hair bun
2) she is the opposite of graceful - always tripping over her own feet, trying to climb things she shouldn't (and then falling), ending up covered in little scrapes and bruises

(pls no one tell me ballet doesn't exist in thedas; I need it to)
November 11, 2025 at 6:55 PM
Cursing my past self for not switching out one of these icons when I made the pattern

Ilia uses a greatsword (because she originally learned using her older brother's sword that was too big for her) and always runs right into the middle of the action (giving Blackwall more grey hairs every time she does)

Honorable mention to old man Wataru who is not romanceable and yet
November 10, 2025 at 5:57 PM
She wasn't really sure what to make of him overall, but this certainly made a strong first impression

I also love Jessica's nose, which is perfect in every way and exactly how I pictured it before I made her.
