BIOGRAPHY

Arlana was born in 9:32 and raised in the Dalish Clan of Clan Aldwir near Arlathan Forest, considering it to be like home. Her parents had taken inspiration from the forest itself in naming her Arlana, which also means "Oath", hoping their daughter would do better for the future of elves.

At the age of 16, as a late-bloomer, she discovered her abilities as mage. However, Clan Aldwir had already hit the quota on how many mages they could have, and after discovering their daughters magical abilities, her parents feared her becoming an abomination. Hence, in 9:47, Inquisitor Ellana Lavellan was called in to deal with the situation. She had joined back up with the Dalish after disbanding the Inquisition a couple years back and was working on forming a group of Dalish with some others (the future Veil Jumpers.)

With her parents already considering her an abomination for having magic despite not being possessed, and no one else willing to train her, Ellana takes Arlana under her wing as her student/adoptive daughter, teaching her how to control her abilities and learn to accept the fact she's a mage instead of trying to hide or repress it.

It isn't until 9:50 that the Veil Jumpers are finally formed inside Arlathan Forest and Arlana takes her place beside them, enjoying the hunt for elven artifacts and learning all she can about elven history. She had finally found a place where she could belong. However, that moment of bliss was short lived when a couple years later while on an expedition to some ruins, it came down to a choice between saving an invaluable map leading to a hidden area of the forest, or saving the rest of her teammates lives who had found themselves stuck trapped in the ruins ancient magical defense. Making her choice to save lives, hence losing the map, left her to be resented by some Veil Jumper leaders and even teammates.

But yet, it left a shinning impression on Varric Tethras, who had personally participated in that mission with her by Inquisitor Lavellan's insistence at having Arlana join him and Harding in their search for Solas, which proved to Varric that Arlana had the cleverness, adaptability, and determination that Varric needed in his second-in-command. And from that moment on, Arlana had been swept up into another adventure, not knowing how much her world would change once more.
