A naked girl is lying on top of you, and you feel emasculated?




Set anytime during the Fifth Blight. Inara was recruited into the Grey Wardens by Warden-Commander Duncan after Arl Howe’s troops slaughtered the entirety of her house—save for herself and her brother. It was with great reluctance that she accompanied Duncan to Ostagar to undergo the Joining ritual, soon after which the battle began and all the Fade broke loose. With all but two of Ferelden’s Grey Warden forces dead, Inara and Alistair set out to stop the Blight with nothing but the armor on their backs and some treaties to guide them.
Default quest choices are as follows:
- Recruited all companions, including Shale.
- In Redcliffe, she agreed to seek the mages’ aid to save Connor and Isolde’s lives.
- At Kinloch Hold, she delayed the Right of Annulment and sided with the mages.
- During the search for the Urn of Sacred Ashes, she convinced the cultists she would do what they asked, but she did not defile Andraste’s remains.
- While in Orzammar, she supported Bhelen Aeducan’s claim to the throne and destroyed the Anvil of the Void.
- In the Brecilian Forest, she convinced Zathrian to compromise with the Lady of the Forest.
- While rescuing Queen Anora, she murdered Howe with a terrifying ferocity and surrendered to Ser Cauthrien. (And proceeded to drink an entire bottle of wine by herself as soon as she managed to escape Fort Drakon and return to Eamon’s estate.)
- At the Landsmeet, she supported Anora’s claim to the throne but let Alistair duel Loghain, jumping in to stop them herself when Riordan appeared.
- Ever the practically-minded woman, Inara decided to recruit Loghain for the sake of numbers—which of course backfired horribly when Alistair immediately deserted the Wardens, Ferelden, and Inara herself.
- She talked Loghain into going through with the Dark Ritual and took the final blow herself, destroying the Archdemon.




Set in the time between Origins and the end of Dragon Age II. Inara was named the Hero of Ferelden and soon after, Warden-Commander of the Ferelden Grey Wardens and Arlessa of Amaranthine. She never much wanted to be a leader, but she does what she must, as always.
Default quest choices for Awakening are as follows:
- To be added.




Threads set during the Inquisition timeline.
Soon after the catastrophic destruction of Kirkwall's Chantry and the mage rebellion it inspired, Inara received word that something strange was going on within the Wardens' ranks. More than a little bit suspicious, she decided to slip quietly away to investigate on her own, leaving Loghain Mac Tir as acting Warden-Commander in Ferelden with Nathaniel Howe as his trusted second. If nothing came of it, she would return to Amaranthine.
In the meantime, Inara finds the traveling a welcome respite from commanding troops and answering to nobility. Preferring to go by the pseudonym Elethea, she is careful to conceal her identity from those who cross her path. It allows her to move more freely and without fear of her given name betraying her as the famed Hero of Ferelden.
But of course, she'd be a fool to believe such a rest could last. Despite her best efforts, Inara finds herself once again drawn into the role of helpful hero. She joins the ever-growing Inquisition, though only the Inquisitor themself and a few close companions know her true identity. For now, she is content to act the advisor—though with the Calling prematurely awake in her blood, time doesn't appear to be on her side.

A The 100 AU. More info to come!
Introverted, abrasive, clever, assertive, protective, tenacious, cynical, passionate, guarded, impatient, pragmatic, perceptive.Inara wasn't always as stoic and practical as she appears, and even now it is largely a front put up to protect herself. She's seen betrayal at its very worst, watched her home burn and had her brothers-in-arms slaughtered because of it. Her capacity for easily trusting powerful people was rendered almost nonexistent the night Howe murdered her family. But before that night, Inara was happy. She was never a particularly upbeat young woman, but neither was she cold. Her dry humor and clever wordplay often kept the nobles at court entertained, none of them ever realizing that much of the time her charming talk was subtly poking fun at them. Fergus, of course, could always tell the difference between Inara's sincerity and her sarcasm. He was, perhaps, the most amused of them all. During the Blight, Inara became somewhat less charming and more abrasive. She tries to keep herself distanced from things, to make the logical decision and not the emotional one, but it doesn't always work out that way. Alistair is something of a saving grace for her, his boyish charm and willingness to poke fun at himself and their circumstances making it impossible for her heart to harden completely. The other friends she made along the way each did their part in this, and in helping her heal, though there's little chance Inara will ever fully recover from the things she has seen.
i. You can call me Gina. I'm 24 years old and she/her/hers pronouns are preferred. Time zone is EST. For reference purposes, I used to be known as ladycousland for a very long time before changing my URL.
iii. No godmodding or metagaming. It's rude.
iv. Chemistry comes before the ship. I like to wait and see how the characters and the muns get along before deciding to ship together.
v. The only thing I'll go exclusive with is romantic ships, as I'm not really interested in writing the same ship with more than one person. However, I by no means expect my partners to reciprocate ship exclusivity unless they WANT to do so.
vi. Turning memes into threads is grand, but please consider the context before sending one in the first place. Memes can be awesome icebreakers, but some quite clearly do not work between characters who have yet to interact. I prefer asks to be shifted over to text posts when continued as threads, so if you reblog an ask from me, I will copy/paste your reply into a new post and tag you (if you wish to do this yourself and then tag me, by all means please do).
vii. A couple small ASKBOX POLICIES: I make a solid effort to reply to asks in a timely manner, but it doesn't always happen. Sometimes I get distracted, my attention is split between this and other blogs, or I just forget to answer. Reminders are appreciated, especially when it comes to plotting messages, as Tumblr's messaging system does love to cast things into the void and thus I may not have received your message in the first place. I may or may not post/respond to a chain message depending on its nature, but if it's a nice sentiment intended to cheer people up, I'll usually pay it forward even if it goes unacknowledged by me.
viii. One reminder about something I owe you, acknowledged by me, is plenty. I promise I'm not going to lie to you. If I say it's in my drafts, it's in my drafts, and I'll get to it when I can. Please respect that. Nobody likes a pest, and it'll only put me off writing with you tbh.
ix. VIOLENCE is likely to happen on occasion. Extreme violence may require some OOC discussion. SMUT is not something I roleplay very often, and I will not write sexually explicit material with minors. That means if you're under the age of 18, it's a no-go. Lastly, I will not ever roleplay RAPE, “dubcon,” or any other nonconsensual sexual content.
x. Any nudity or sexually explicit material will be tagged “nsfw.” Triggers will be tagged as follows: #trigger cw and/or #trigger tw. Other than general gore and violence, some triggering subjects you can DEFINITELY expect to find here include:
xi. Most icons used on this blog were made by me for my own use. Please do not save or use my icons without my permission (unless you find them in an icon pack that I have clearly labeled as free for anyone to use). I've gone to great pains in customizing my theme and making all related graphics, so please don't take any of those without asking. I'm always happy to offer assistance though!
xii. If you read through all of this, you are a brave little soldier and I really appreciate you taking the time. I know my rules sound SUPER srs, but I'm actually a huge dork with a habit of dissolving into nonsense and crack way too often. So, yeah. Don't be afraid to approach me I just wanna love you and make you laugh.
