PERSONALITY

As a princess, Lara carries an air of grace and sophistication about her. Trained at a young age to know what’s expected of her, she plays her part, wearing a smile and keeping a calm composure about her. However, underneath it all, Lara is an emotional, fiery, outgoing, and free-spirited person who carries her heart on her sleeve.

She proudly serves and cares for her people, being the hope and salvation they look to as the future mother of a savior, although carrying the weight of the world can feel suffocating to her. But she carefully hides this feeling, also fearing to let her people down and be seen as a failure. Yet Lara wishes she could be seen and appreciated for who she is, not just the beloved princess and carrier of the prized Elder Blood.

Despite being raised around the views her people have developed towards humans due to them killing off fellow elves, especially their brothers on the continent— the Aen Seidhe elves — Lara seems to have kept an open mind about humans, wanting to learn more about them and even believing they may not be as different as elves. This leads to her eventually trying to fight for co-existence between elves and humans, and not just because of the influence from the human mage she has fallen in love with, but because she wants to make a beneficial difference for everyone.

Already betrothed to someone else, falling in love with a human wasn’t something Lara had expected. In fact, it started to cause a conflict both in her heart and with her people. Although Lara cared for her fated partner, Avallac’h, who had also been her close friend and was in love with her, it seemed things weren’t meant to be. The conflicting feelings that had been clouding her heart only grew and grew more, resulting in Lara to finally take the initiative on her own life for once, taking a risk and with a heavy heart, leaving everything she knew behind to be with Cregennan of Lod. However, their relationship didn’t end well and despite the couples efforts, prejudice didn’t die out easily, resulting in Cregennan being killed by his own people and leaving Lara with a traumatic memory that haunts her in her dreams, along with the tragedy that befalls her daughter once she is born and the rest of her descendants that carry her Elder Blood.

From this point on, Lara only wishes to do right by those she loves, having also matured from her choices.

BIOGRAPHY

Born as the daughter and only child to Shiadhal and Auberon Muircetach — King and Queen of the Aen Elle —it seemed Lara’s life was predestined for her from the start. According to the prophecy of the elven diviner Ithlinne, ‘the Child of Elder Blood will one day save the elves from annihilation.’ Lara, being the result of a genetic potential many years in the making, possessed Hen Ichaer aka Elder Blood in her veins and was meant to carry on the blood line by bearing an even more special child who would help them open the Ard Gaeth — Gate of Worlds — and regain the power lost to the elves after the Conjunction of Spheres, saving their cousins, the Aen Seidhe, still trapped on the continent in another world.

Undergoing training at a young age to become an Aen Saevherne (Elven Mage) like her father, this was when Lara met Crevan Espane aep Caomhan Macha aka Avallac'h, a fellow sage. The two became close friends and an arranged marriage was developed between them, realizing they had the perfect genetic matchmaking to achieve the prophecy. However, Lara instead fell in love with a human mage named Cregennan of Lod, ruining everything planned out for her by her people. Their union was very controversial for both races.

After Cregennan died, hunted down by human assassin’s, Lara gave birth to their daughter, Riannon, but died herself soon after, orphaning the child. Cerro, the queen of Redania at the time, adopted the half-elf girl and named her Riannon.

The descendants of Lara Dorren, which include Ciri, are regarded as special, for their magical gifts are considered to be very strong as they carry Hen Ichaer, Elder Blood.

VERSE ;; The Tragedy of the Elder Blood

(The Witcher)

– 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙴 𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙾:

According to the prophecy of the elven diviner Ithlinne, the Child of Elder Blood will one day save the elves from annihilation. Lara, the princess of the Alders, was the result of a genetic potential many years in the making, possessing Hen Ichaer aka Elder Blood in her veins and was meant to carry on the blood line by bearing an even more special child, ending up in an arranged marriage with another elven sage, Avallac’h. However, she ends up falling in love with a human mage, Cregennan of Lod, ruining plans centuries in the making. The union between a human and elf was controversial for both races. Cregennan was hunted down by human assassins and killed, and Lara gave birth to their daughter, but died soon after, orphaning the child. Cerro, the queen of Redania at the time, adopted the half-elf girl and named her Riannon.

Lara’s story is told from the different opinions of both elves and humans; either being a vengeful witch who bewitched the human mage, or a victim whose heritage was stolen by humans. Although everyone thought the elder blood and all it’s hope died with Lara, it in fact, lives on through her descendants, bringing tragedy to whoever carries it.

VERSE ;; Thrown into the Inquisition

(Dragon Age)

– 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙴 𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙾:

Traveling from the world of the Aen Elle Elves, something goes wrong and the Princess of the Aen Elle ends up trapped in another world entirely. Stumbling across a world like the Aen Seidhe where elves are being hunted and treated a certain way by humans, Lara finds herself accidentally getting into something much bigger, resulting in her gaining a mark upon her hand and being forced to become a part of this world as an Inquisitor. Thinking of the mark, also called an anchor, as being nothing more than her Elder Blood trying to manifest its abilities, Lara will finally have to face her destiny and make a choice. Either way, she has fallen into a wolf’s den with no escape.

Details/Headcanons:

1. Follows the Dragon Age: Inquisition game with Lara being the Inquisitor feat. Elder Blood.

2. Despite having her powerful Elder Blood which gives her the ability to time travel between worlds easily, Lara is trapped in this world with no way to venture back to her world. She ends up accidentally getting the anchor because of it and struggles to control it despite being a powerful mage.

3. Although Lara may be mistakenly taken for a Dalish elf by some people, she will reveal her true origins to those she knows she can trust, especially if they are elves.

VERSE ;; Legends Never Die

(The Witcher AU)

– 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙴 𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙾:

Lara and Cregennan were hunted down by humans for their relationship. Cregennan died protecting her in order to give her time to escape. Lara managed to survive, but started going into labor soon after. With no other choices in where to go and in shock from all that had just happened, Lara looks for help from her good friend, Queen Cerro. After Lara manages to safely give birth to a healthy daughter and names her Riannon, she makes the hardest decision of her life, having Cerro adopt Riannon so she could live a normal human life and not be hunted down.

Although the world thinks Lara Dorren died, she is in fact, very much alive. Now on her own in the world, Lara goes into hiding, hearing the tales of her fate from both humans and elves. However, after everything she’s been through, she’s determined to take the reins of fate and destiny and write herself a better story.

Details/Headcanons:

1. This verse is pretty flexible on how things can go down depending on what we choose to roleplay with it. The most important thing of it though is the fact Lara is alive and didn’t die.

2. No matter what, Lara will keep an eye on her descendants, either secretly watching them or being a part of their lives in some way. She cares for whoever carries her blood because they are family to her.

3. Since I will be roleplaying with this verse the most on this blog for obvious reasons, I have more headcanons on it in my HEADCANONS TAG.

VERSE ;; Vengeance of the Elder Blood

(The Witcher AU)

– 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙴 𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙾:

Sometimes witchers must put to rest ghosts who haunt the living. Wraiths appear near cemeteries or in homes they inhabited during their lives. They usually have no memories and are guided strictly by hatred towards the living. May they rest in peace.

Wraiths suffer endless, indescribable pain. Filled with anger and a sense of having been wronged, they both envy the living and brim with overwhelming hatred for them. The same can be said for Lara Dorren, who was wronged, having been killed and lost everything to humans because of her relationship with Cregennan. Not long after, her daughter dies of heartbreak and the tragedy that befalls all her descendants doesn’t help. Lara’s soul cannot rest until she gets the vengeance she craves.

VERSE ;; Princess of the Higher Vampires

(Vampire!Lara AU)

– 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙴 𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙾:

In an alternate universe, Lara Dorren is the daughter of a royal Higher Vampire (an Unseen Elder). Because of the rarity of higher vampires, as well as the unique abilities they often possess, Lara tends to live a pretty sheltered life away from humans, especially after the loss of her mother when she was younger. However, growing tired of being a princess locked away in a tower like a precious pearl, Lara starts to venture out to explore the world beyond her castle. She can be playful and come off as vain, but her heart is as true as the words that fall from her lips.

True higher vampires can look exactly like a human being and can even evade detection from a witcher’s medallion, only revealing themselves at their own convenience. Higher vampires are also incredibly intelligent, and possess numerous - and often unique- abilities. Unlike their lesser cousins, higher vampires do not need to drink blood to survive; however, the consumption of blood offers an experience not unlike the consumption of alcohol. Not all higher vampires are dangerous to humans either; many even avoid human contact altogether, and some even work altruistically, if clandestinely, to aid humanity.

Details/Headcanons:

1. Lara is the daughter of an Unseen Elder (a group of older higher vampires who serve as leader figures for their brethren.)

2. Her mother was killed by another Higher Vampire a long time ago. It was the reason the Unseen Elders made it taboo for other vampires to kill each other.

Details/Headcanons:

1. Follows Baldur's Gate 3 plot feat. with Lara's abilities with the Elder Blood presenting itself as Wild Magic in this universe. She can either be a Tav or a companion.

VERSE ;; The Mafia Princess

(Mafia AU)

– 𝚅𝙴𝚁𝚂𝙴 𝙸𝙽𝙵𝙾:

Lara Dorren is the only daughter and heir of Don Auberon Muircetach. Born into the life of a Mafia family, she has been treated like a princess as her father lavishes her with love, attention, and gifts, along with other members who join the family.

While she may be spoiled rotten, she is no idiot. Lara knows the dark secrets hidden in this kind of life and is looking for a slice of the normal. While she is set in an arranged marriage with her father's most trusted Consigliere, Avallac'h, her eyes are focused on an ordinary man with no ties to the kind of life she lives, Cregennan.

The day of the wedding, she decides to run away with her new lover, setting in motion a whirlwind to come. It is no big deal for Lara though. She is a princess...and she always gets her way!
