One of my favourite things to do in Inquisition was making a non-human mage and having her fully embrace the Maker and her role as Andraste's Herald. So, I'm wondering if other people liked to do that. If you did, please feel free to post their backstory here.
Here's mine.
Rasaan Adaar was born in 9:06 Dragon in Ostwick to two Qunari who had fled from Par Vollen because they wanted a family of their own. They raised Rasaan to believe that, like in the Qun, everyone had their role in society. But unlike in the Qun, everyone should be able to choose their role.
Other than her parents, Rasaan didn't have any friends, as neither the humans nor the elves wanted anything to do with a Qunari. So, Rasaan spent most of her time alone. For some reason, this caught the attention of a revered mother of the local chantry, who started to spend time with her. When Rasaan asked her why, she simply answered: "We are all the Maker's children and Andraste taught us to accept and love each other, rather than reject others simply for being different." This resonated greatly with Rasaan, for another aspect of the Qun that her parents taught her to appreciate was the unrestrained acceptance of other races. The more Rasaan learned of Andraste and the Maker, the more she idolized them. She even began to consider joining the Chantry as a sister. This dream, however, was crushed when her magic manifested. She was shipped off to a Tal-Vashoth mage who trained her to master her abilities, then enlisted into the Valo-Kas mercenary company. She spent the following years serving with the mercenaries, offering prayers to Andraste and the Maker every night.
Rasaan was quick to embrace her role as Andraste's Herald, viewing it as vindication of her beliefs, and would continue to act in accordance to them. She would ally with the templars, banish the Wardens and uncover the truth about Gaspard, Briala and Celene's actions, forcing them into a truce. Ultimately, she would support Leliana as divine and restructure the Inquisition as a peace keeping force.
