Dagna

"You're back? But it takes a minimum of two weeks and four days to make the journey to the Circle Tower and back."

Dagna (born 9:11 Dragon) is a female dwarf living in Orzammar and a member of the smith caste.

Background
Dagna is something of a misfit amongst her family and to dwarven society as a whole. In spite of being a smith caste dwarf she feels no interest in smithing and chafes at the restrictions of her life, feeling misunderstood by her family. Instead, she wishes to travel to the Circle of Magi to study magic, a peculiar desire for a dwarf as they are incapable of using magic.

She is the daughter of Janar the armorer and can initially be encountered to the west of Orzammar Commons, just outside Garin's stall.

Approval

 * After agreeing to tell the Circle of Dagna's request: Leliana, Wynne
 * Morrigan will speak if she is in your party, but no approval change will occur (tested at 90+ approval).

Trivia

 * Dagna is not the first dwarf allowed into the Circle of Magi. Other known dwarves are Minderel, and Ureldin "during the 13th century."
 * If the Warden tells Dagna's father of her plans and then speaks to her again, she reveals she is 19 years old.
 * In the earliest builds of Dragon Age: Inquisition, Dagna was an Artificer.

Bugs

 * It's possible to encounter Dagna in the apprentice quarters of the Circle Tower after just having convinced First Enchanter Irving to accept her as a student, if you leave the first level of the Circle Tower and then return. In dialogue, she will speak as if you had returned to Orzammar to complete the quest (i.e. you tell her that she has been accepted and she says she will leave for the tower). Then, if you return to Orzammar, she will be standing in the Orzammar Commons. Her dialogue will be the same as if you visited her in the Circle Tower after she becomes a student (i.e. she will tell you how amazing the tower is).
