BIOGRAPHY.

Avery Hawke was born in 9:06 Dragon in a small village outside of Amaranthine in Ferelden. Avery was the first child of Malcolm and Leandra Hawke. Due to her father being an apostate mage, most of her life was spent on the run and constantly moving from place to place. Avery was born in the land of Ferelden and thus considered herself Ferelden although both her parents were from the Free Marches. Eventually, she was joined by twin siblings: Bethany and Carver. Every time it was suspected that someone in the local community either had figured out that Malcolm (and later Bethany) were mages, or there was simply too much of a Templar presence to be comfortable, the family moved again. Avery didn't inherit her father's magic and instead trained herself with a sword so she could potentially defend her family should Templars ever come for them. Malcolm died unexpectedly from what was suspected to be the Blight and it was Avery who was left in charge of their family. By this point, they had settled in the village of Lothering in Southern Ferelden where they had managed to live for several years in peace. 

News began to spread that darkspawn had been spotted in the Kocari Wilds, south of Lothering, and that King Cailan was amassing an army to try and repell them. Avery was quick to sign up for this as she realised her family would be the first to be in jepordy should it be a Blight and the darkspawn began to spread. To her annoyance, Carver insisted on coming with her despite her wanting him to stay at home to protect their mother and sister. The two narrowly escaped death at the Battle of Ostagar when Loghainn refused to enter the battle and the army was slaughtered by darkspawn. Avery and Carver then had to make a desperate dash for Lothering to retrieve Bethany and Leandra before the darkspawn would arrive and raze the place to the ground.

From there, the family travelled to Kirkwall and the rest is history.
