“Trust your instincts. Intuitions never lie the way words do.”

Sulevin means “Purpose”. Her mother named her this way after her husband was taken away by Templars when he asked for help for her delivery. Growing up without a father, she found that paternal love with her uncle instead. He taught her the ways of knives and daggers. How to hunt animals quickly so they don’t suffer. She became Inquisitor at 21, still very young and ignorant about the world outside of the clan. Her curiosity and interest for everything, books, old scrolls and forgotten knowledge made her closer to Dorian and Solas. The latter eventually fell in love, even if she felt something was “off” about him. When she learned the truth, Sulevin forgave him. She actually wants to find a way to redeem him, but she’s ready to do whatever that means. Meanwhile she’s part Red Jenny with her best friend Sera, part Inquisitor. Sully tries to infiltrate other organisation with her own spies. (Not sure yet, but she might have a son called Oliver with Solas, he’s unaware of it until Trespasser.) She’s the cousin of Callathian Gamordan Lavellan Pentaghast.

Romance(s)

NAME	Description/Role	Status	Notes
Sennarel Lavellan	Ex-boyfriend	Deceased (9:42)	Sennarel was Sulevin’s boyfriend. She had multiple “adventures” — more like, one night stands — with other Lavellan members in the past. But they had been dating since they got their Vallaslins in 9:38.
He died with the rest of the Lavellan Clan in 9:42, when Sulevin tried to assist them, it was too late.
Sera	Crush (mutual)	Alive	When they met, they had a mutual crush quite quickly, but both decided not to act on it. Mainly because Sulevin was “too elfy”, following her Dalish ancestry and believing in these Gods. But they remained close friends, best friends even.
Solas/Fen’harel	Boyfriend ?	Unknown	Sulevin was curious and hungry for knowledge. Bonding with Solas had been easy, as he was always glad to teach and answer her many questions. She learnt how to read with him, Varric and Dorian. Making her ask even more questions, get more books to read and continue this cycle repeatedly. After different flirt attempts from both parties, he kissed her, and she kissed him back. She confided her deepest fears and hopes, discussed entire nights as he was painting… Sulevin even learnt a couple drawing techniques, although being quite mediocre for a while. She never gave up, and that’s what he liked about her.
He liked to join her in their dreams, enjoy walks in ancient alleys, discover the past of every locations they travelled to. Everybody knew what was going on between them. Some were shocked, mainly by their status or age difference, but it never bothered them.
He tried to resist it, but they made out a couple times in Skyhold. In her bedroom, most of the time, but sometimes in the secret underground library or the rotunda couch when everyone was asleep but them (or so they thought).
Sulevin knew Solas was Fen’harel for a while now, with all his knowledge about the Fade, Arlathan and his goddamn necklace. She was only waiting for him to trust her enough to share this. When he asked her to come along in Crestwood, she thought this was the revelation he would do.
She had just lost her entire clan and family a couple of days ago, and felt ill from depression (and unknowingly, expecting a child) when he revealed the true nature of Vallaslins. Sully decided to keep them, to honour and remember her lost ones, no matter their past meaning, and he broke up with her, leaving her in this cold, rainy place.
She thought it was her fault, at first. But this guilt and sadness turned into rage and violence in a couple of minutes.
Hatred for her own naivety. He was Fen’harel, of course he would trick her.
Sera	Girlfriend	Alive	After Trespasser events and the confirmation Sulevin was right about Fen’harel and the other Elven Gods, she decided to stop them — all of them. With nothing separating Sera and Sulevin now, they got even closer and eventually got together. Sera was a not-so-surprisingly amazing mother to Oliver, and the two of them were the most roguish couple you could have met. Sulevin remained the “Inquisitor” to many, but she was Sera’s Inky and Ollie’s mom first.
Her actions as new Red Jenny helped the Inquisition, and the Inquisition helped the Red Jenny. It was a match made in heaven.

Relative(s) & Clan

NAME	Description/Role	Status	Notes
Emerald Knights	Ancestors	—	Sulevin grew up in the Dales where her ancestors fought alongside the guardians, wolves. The origin of Ashlynn coming back from the Fade as a spirit is a legacy of their traditions.
Adaren Lavellan	Mother	Deceased (9:42)	Adaren raised Sulevin with the help of Thevardis, Sulevin’s uncle. She did her best to teach her the Dalish ways and things Elgarhel knew as the First to the Keeper and son of Deshanna. Adaren would have loved Sulevin to pursue archery like herself, but her daughter chose to follow Thevardis’ steps.
She died with the rest of the Lavellan Clan in 9:42, when Sulevin tried to assist them, it was too late.
Elgarhel Lavellan	Father	Unknown ?
Found in 9:44	Sulevin grew up without her father, who was sent to a Circle of Magi in the south of Orlaïs soon after her birth. She only knew his heritage: what he was like, anecdotes and how important he was to the Clan before his departure.
Thanks to the Inquisition having troubles in 9:44 in Orlaïs, Elgarhel heard about her and tried to contact his daughter after over two decades apart.
They eventually met in his Circle Tower and got permission to meet her from time to time. He also met Olivier, his grandson, and sadly learnt the fate of the rest of their Clan.
Thevardis Lavellan	Uncle	Deceased (9:42)	Thevardis was the closest person to a father for Sulevin when she grew up. He always took great care of her, teaching her the art of the blades, how to sneak in the forest, prepare traps for animals and wait for their preys. He taught her everything she knows about daggers and discreetness.
He died with the rest of the Lavellan Clan in 9:42, when Sulevin tried to assist them, it was too late.
Callathian Lavellan	Cousin	Unknown ?	Sulevin barely met her cousin as a toddler, before he left the clan and wandered in Ferelden and Orlaïs. She — and the remaining of the Clan — has no idea of his whereabouts ever since.
Deshanna Istimaethoriel	Grand-mother	Deceased (9:42)	Deshanna was close to Sulevin, always excusing her childish misdeeds and teenager rebellions. She loved to talk about Elgarhel to her. While Adaren avoided it, most of the time.
Deshanna thought Sulevin would likely become a mage like her father, and trained her as a possible candidate First to the Keeper, but Sulevin never manifested magic.
She died with the rest of the Lavellan Clan in 9:42, when Sulevin tried to assist them, it was too late.
Dill Lavellan	Hunter friend	Deceased (9:42)	Dill grew up with Sulevin, being two years older than her. He was fun to be around, but once he got into “hunting mode”, nothing could take his focus away.
He died with the rest of the Lavellan Clan in 9:42, when Sulevin tried to assist them, it was too late.
Melanna Lavellan	Best friend	Deceased (9:42)	Melanna was Sulevin’s best friend. They were born the same day, although in different places. They were linked by the stars, like twins of souls and mind. They knew each other’s deepest secrets, could finish their sentences and didn’t need any word to communicate.
She died with the rest of the Lavellan Clan in 9:42, when Sulevin tried to assist them, it was too late.
Feyvin Lavellan	Cook of the clan	Deceased (9:42)	Feyvin was an old friend of Deshanna. She was the cook of the clan, preparing the best food out of nothing and making sure to equally distribute food amongst everyone.
She died with the rest of the Lavellan Clan in 9:42, when Sulevin tried to assist them, it was too late.
Oliver Lavellan	Son	Alive
(Born 9:43)	A couple months after killing Corypheus once and for all,

Companion(s)

NAME	Description/Role	Status	Notes
Léliana	Master Spy, Divine, trusted friend	Alive	Léliana is one of the first person Sulevin trusted, probably because of their rogue background. She knew it was better to be on her side than against an orlesian bard.
Cassandra Pentaghast	Seeker of Truth, trusted friend	Alive	At first, Sully was dumbfounded in her presence, finding her aura both menacing and soft, and it confused her. She really grew to love her. The two of them can chit-chat for hours about any subject without any blank in the conversation. When Sulevin learnt how to read in shemlem’s language, they had reading sessions, sharing their favourite books.
Cullen Rutherford	Military adviser, trusted friend	Alive	Sully knew her father had been taken away by Templars and thus always feared them, somehow. It took her some time to get along with him, even if Cullen isn’t a Templar anymore. But they grew to be friend after months of plannifying battles.
Varric Tethras	Trusted friend	Alive	Varric’s humour worked on Sully the minute they met each other. She was very naive and young at the time, and he could lie to her easily. Their relationship was similar to Varric and Merrill in a way. They grew to be each others confident over time, especially after how lonely he felt when ‣ and the rest of the gang all went different ways (even if they stay in touch and send each other letters, they rarely find the time to meet.)
They have each other’s back.
Joséphine Montilyet	Advisor, Trusted friend	Alive	Sully always respected Joséphine’s social skills, knowing nothing about court, nobility and all the shemlem traditions. They taught each other’s many life lessons .
Cole	Adoptive family	Alive?	Cole was like a little brother to Sulevin, although his spirit must be way older than her. She gladly spent a lot of time talking to him and helping him. Somehow, she could rarely miss him. Could it be the Anchor, her strong connection to the Fade or just her discreet rogue nature, she could always spot him. Or maybe, he never felt the need to hide in her presence.
Dorian Pavus	Best friend	Alive	Dorian was flabbergasted to know she couldn’t read their language, so he and Solas worked hard to help her. As she already knew how to read in another language, it was easier for her and only took a couple of weeks. They quickly bonded over each other’s humour, curiosity and books.
Vivienne	Disagreements	Alive	Vivienne’s point of view over the Circle of Magi was everything against Sullevin’s. They often conflicted each other over such matters. Sully helds a grudge against the Templars and the Circles as they took away her father.
Once they got to this discussion, Vivienne apologized for his fate, and she apologized for being so self-centered. They both respect each other, although they’re not very close compared to other Inquisition members.
Sera	Best friend to lovers	Alive	Another elf, another rogue. It was almost too coincidental. They mostly spent time together at the Singing Maiden, then at the Herald’s Rest. Always drunk until they had no more alcohol, and then they talked, seriously, an entire night long, until dawn rose in the horizon. They trusted their biggest fears, secrets, hopes and dreams. Best friend was an euphemism, they were soulmates.
Thom "Blackwall" Rainier	Game night friend	Alive	He spent most his nights playing cards and drinking at the Herald’s Rest with Sera and Sulevin. They were mostly “night friends”, even if they grew to become closer friends over time on the fields.
Sully liked to take him along with Solas to see the tension, as the latter disliked Grey Wardens, it amused her.
The Iron Bull	Fun drinking mate	Alive	Most of the time, Sully woke up with an horrible headache and no memories of the eve, and that’s when she knew she had spent the night drinking with the Bull and his chargers. She enjoyed it though, she thinks.
Valta	Companion	Alive	They only got to spend a couple hours together, but they trusted each other instantly, knowing their mission was important. After The Descent, there was no way for them to stay in touch.
Renn	Companion	Deceased (9:42)	Renn died quickly after their meeting, and she was saddened to see how impactful his death was to Valta.
