Personality: Atharen is a kindly soul. She will go out of her way to help not only her clans men but humans if she happens upon one that is injured. Her helpful and nurturing nature extends to wild animals as well. Atharen's willingness to help is only matched by her desire to learn about her people. She reads the books she can get her hands on and investigates any ruins her clan happens to pass by in the hope of meeting one of the sentinels the Inquisitor met in the Temple of Mythal. 

History: Atharen was born in the shadow of Sundermount, just outside Kirkwall. She had the fortune of being born to the Dalish clan Lavellen as her birth came after one of the apprentices to the Keeper being mauled to death by a bear. Her magical talent emerged at an earlier age than most and many feared she would be unwittingly possessed by a demon. What her clans men didn't know, was that she was being watched over while she slept.
While in the Beyond- or the Fade, as the humans called it- a spirit taught Atharen how to heal. All while her Keeper was telling her all spirits were dangerous.
As she grew older, her Keeper officially named Atharen her second apprentice. At first, she and the First got along very well. Though, when she revealed she walked the Beyond with a spirit of compassion, the First turned from her.
Withdrawn from her clans men, Atharen became closer to her natural surroundings. From the benevolent spirits she met, she learned about the Beyond and her own world. She never sought material gain, only knowledge. 
As the years wore on, the Keeper took notice of Atharen's uncanny ability to heal with magic. While she suspected spirits, the Keeper simply told the clan she was more powerful. The First to the Keeper became jealous of the attention Atharen was getting and decided to prove once and for all that he was superior. He asked her to meet him outside of camp.
When she entered the clearing, there was a halla in front of him, bleeding to death. He played innocent, told her the shems had done it. This halla, however, was one that pulled their aravels. How would a shem get close enough to their camp to injure it without being heard? He said he had found it a ways off and carried it thus far. Atharen could hear a faint whisper through the veil. It told her he was lying, but she already knew that. The halla recognized her as she approached and called out in pain, pleading for her to end its suffering. He said he was going to heal it with magic the Keeper taught him. Too late, the poor beast had lost too much blood. He couldn't save it. She pushed him away and summoned the power within her, the skills the spirit taught her. 
The hallas body knit together quickly. It was on its feet faster than a lightning strike. She glared at him. He knew she knew. Soon the Keeper would too. If not from Atharen, then the halla keeper as the halla would speak to its caretaker. He fled into the night never returning. The next morning, Atharen was named First to the Keeper.

When the war broke out between Tevinter and Orlais, Cullen sent out missives to all known Dalish clans, asking for assistance. Atharen was the first to volunteer and found herself in Orlais shortly after with a small group of hunters.
