Name: Valana Sabrae
Age: 32
Sex: Female
Race: Elf
Class: Mage/Knight-Enchanter
Title: Warden-Lieutenant
Appearance:
Magical Abilities:
Spirit Blade - She creates a blade of solid magic to make melee attacks against enemies. Effective against magical barriers. With Defending Blade she is able to deflect projectiles such as arrows.
Fade Cloak - She surrounds herself with magic of the Veil itself becoming briefly invulnerable and able to pass through her enemies.
Fade Shield - She creates a Barrier that is strengthened during combat. While unable to completely stop attacks, it acts in much the same way as a Warrior's armor.
Energy Barrage - She unleashes a salvo of elemental attacks from her staff that home in on a single target.
Flashfire - She fires a ball of fire at an enemy that ignites them, causing searing pain and possibly sending them fleeing in terror.
Personality: Valana is typically a grim young woman. She may have once been quite a good humored and friendly girl in the past, and she even shows signs of this side to her on occasion, however the events of recent years have caused her to lose much of her previous mirth.
History: Valana was born to the Sabrae Dalish Clan however due to the custom of only allowing three mages in any one clan, Valana was forced to leave the clan when she was barely more than ten years of age, before even receiving her Vallaslin. She would have died in the wilderness of the Hinterlands had she not been found and taken in by a human family of farmers living near Lothering. The family was surprisingly friendly to her despite her Elven heritage and as a result Valana found herself wanting to do anything she could help them. However the moment started their hearth fire with a simple wave of her hand, an innocent attempt to help out, the family's friendly attitude was lost. Valana quickly found herself locked in a cold, damp basement, where she remained for the night, until the Templars arrived in the morning to take her away.
Valana's life in the circle of Magi was an uneventful one. There was no room for Valana in the Ferelden Circle, so she was sent to study magic in Orlais. As a fresh new mage-apprentice Valana found herself fascinated by the glamorous and powerful Knight-Enchanters. She would take any chance she could to talk to the mage warriors or watch them practicing their craft. Her attention did not go unnoticed and, little did she know, the First Enchanter was arranging for her to be groomed towards becoming a Knight-Enchanter herself.
Valana was not destined to continue her life in the Circle of Magi, however, as the Orlesian Commander of the Grey made a call on the Circle, looking for recruits. Valana was one of the few chosen to join the Grey Wardens and, despite her trepidation, she found herself conscripted. Even during her time in the Wardens, Valana never stopped her studies into the Arts of the Knight-Enchanter and before long, she had constructed a Spirit Blade Hilt of her own. She had become a Knight-Enchanter in all but name. She progressed through the ranks of the Wardens becoming a Senior Warden with a small command of her own.
And then Corypheus used the Calling to manipulate the Orlesian Wardens and, Valana was called to Adamant Fortress by Warden-Commander Clarel and informed that she would be expected to use Blood Magic to summon and bind a Demon. Valana had her misgivings, but she would not disobey her Commander. She was never called to perform the Blood Ritual, however, as the Inquisition attacked Adamant before it came to that. In the battle for Adamant Valana fought and killed almost a dozen of the Inquisition's soldiers before the ceasefire was called and the Wardens of Orlais were conscripted by the Inquisitor.
Valana was present at the Fall of Skyhold and fought valiantly alongside Commander Cullen's forces before finally being forced to flee with him. When Cullen was made Commander of the Orlesian/Ferelden Allied Forces, she remained under his command and was ultimately chosen to join his new Order of Silence in the war against Tevinter.
