Minaeve is an elven mage scholar and a creature researcher for the reformed Inquisition.

Backround
Born into a Dalish elf clan, at the age of seven she was cast out into the wilderness after displaying magical ability as the Dalish clans keep a limit on mages to avoid attracting too much attention. Shaken and malnourished she eventually came upon a human village, but when the humans discovered her using magic to repel woodland predators, they attempted to kill her. The Templars stepped in however and she was taken to a mage circle. Never particularly good at magic Minaeve spent most of her time in the Circle studying. When her circle rebelled during the Mage-Templar War, Minaeve gathered a small group of tranquil and fled. Eventually she and wards founf themselves under the protection of Cassandra Pentaghast, and when the Inquisition was reformed she signed on as head creature researcher.
