“Compassion is the key to keep the evil far enough to be discernible.” — Eleena to her friend Orsino, 9:35 Dragon
Eleena is also very close to her family, wishing to protect them all. She was 24 at the start of DA2. When she fails to save Malcolm from a disease (the Taint, actually), Bethany from an Ogre and Leandra from a mad mage, she falls into alcoholism to forget and inhibit her feelings of pain and guilt. Meeting the Kirkwall gang helped her go through the madness of this life. Especially Fenris. Even if they went their separate way after sleeping together, he still took care of Lina. After DA2, they went together to Skyhold to assist Varric. The fear of losing each other made them decide to finally marry each other after all these years, even if none of them are really Andrastian believers. They both went to Tevinter to avoid Fenris fate to happen to others, and free the slaves. She has blue tattoos on her face and neck (Kirkwall Heraldry), the same shade as her eyes. Varric calls her “Healeena!” when he needs healing!

| Full Name | Eleena Amell Hawke |
|---|---|
| Name Meaning | • Eleena is a variation of Helene, meaning Shining light or bright one. |
| • She used to be called Loustica as I named all my first protagonist after Loustica or Lucia. Eleena keeps the same meaning: a light source. | |
| • Amell is her mother Léandra’s birthname. She uses it a lot after 9:37 to avoid getting recognized as the “Hawke”. After 9:41, she goes back to Hawke, as it’s simpler. |
| Titles & Aliases | When? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Champion of Kirkwall | 9:34 Dragon | Although she has never liked the attention, Eleena is proud of her title. Especially as an apostate mage. It’s her chance to show a facet of mages to the world, one that can heal and strengthen others, instead of fearing them. |
| Blue Wraith (of Tevinter) | 9:44 Dragon | Travelling to Tevinter alongside Fenris, they hunt down slavers. Fenris’ lyrium abilities and her ice magic make them known as the “Blue Wraiths (of Tevinter)”. |
| Nicknames for Eleena | By who? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| El | Everyone | She is very fond of that nickname. |
| Everyone who knows her call her El at least one in her life. | ||
| Hel or Hell | Carver Hawke | She is very nostalgic of that nickname. |
| In his more “rebellious phase”, Carver used to call her Hell. He’s more mature now, but sometimes call her that way just to tease her. | ||
| Eli | Merrill | She is very affectionate of that nickname. |
| Merrill is like a little sister to Eleena, this nickname warms her heart every time. | ||
| Lee | Isabela | She is very affectionate of that nickname. |
| Isabela likes to say “Lee Hawke” would be a very cool pirate title, if her best friend would like to become one, someday. | ||
| Lina | Fenris | She is very enamored of that nickname. |
| She calls him “Fen” in return. | ||
| Healeena or Healerna | Varric Tethras | She is very amused of that nickname. |
| He screams this when he is in need of Healing. | ||
| Waffles | Varric Tethras | As a (mainly) diplomatic Hawke, Varric calls her Waffles when they go to Château Haine. |
| Nicknames Eleena gives | To who? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fen | Fenris | It might just mean “Wolf”, but it’s a way Fenris liked to be called, when it’s from Eleena. |
| Merry | Merrill | Linked to her spontaneous and cheerful personality. |
| Bela | Isabela | Based on “Bella” meaning beautiful, gorgeous. |
| Ricky | Varric Tethras | Varric hates that nickname and it’s exactly why Eleena continues to use it :) Just a thing “besties” does to tease each other, and eventually loving these nicknames. |
| Carv | Carver Hawke | Diminutive for Carver, obviously. Also represents the “smol/younger brother” from when they were just kids. |
| Beth | Bethany Hawke | Diminutive for Bethany, obviously. Also represents the “smol/younger sister” from when they were just kids. |
| Léa | Léandra Amell | It rhythms with “Mama” , as she used to call “Mama Léa” as a toddler. It just stayed all these years. |
| Andy | Anders | Anders from the Anderfels seemed like a joke, so she started calling him Andy. |
| Name | Description/Role | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Halani Virnehn | Mutual Crush, Fellow Healer at the clinic in Lothering | Deceased (9:30) | Eleena started having feelings for an elven girl who helped her a lot back in Lothering. They took care of countless sick people and kept Eleena’s magic a secret. |
| They never actually had the time to have a story together. She died during the attack of Lothering, while Eleena was busy taking care of her family, first. | |||
| Fenris | Husband (9:41) | Alive | She started flirting with Fenris because his frank replies amused her and she loves to tease… but she eventually fell in love with him. Every aspect of his life — at least the ones he felt confident enough to share — resonated with her, and their common pain grew into care, attention and finally, love. |
| Name | Description/Role | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leandra Amell Hawke | Mother | Deceased (9:34) | Leandra and Eleena has always been close, even if she was closer to her father due to their common magic and interests. They still deeply cared about one another. Leandra teached El how to be elegant, formal and overall, a pleasant person. |
| Her death truly put Eleena in a state of depression, drinking almost every night out to forget that horrible sight. She once again felt guilty and desperately helpless, incapable of saving her. She has swore to protect Malcolm — he died, Bethany — dead too, Leandra — joining them now. Only Carver remained and she was scared to lose him to Meredith’s madness. | |||
| Malcolm Hawke | Father | Deceased (9:27-9:30) | Malcolm taught Eleena all she knows about magic and herbalism. Her magic was centred around healing and ice, which could both be used to help as a medic. To hide her powers to Lothering villagers, she barely used them in secret and mostly used her herbalism knowledge instead. |
| Bethany Hawke | Younger sister | Deceased (9:30) | Eleena and Bethany were very closed. Always training with Malcolm and Carver in the forest to remain discreet about their magical abilities. |
| They shared everything, from clothes to accessories, gossips and secrets. Her death deeply wounded Eleena. She is a healer, yet she couldn’t save her one younger sister beside making that promise to her late father… Eleena was stuck in denial for a while after her passing. | |||
| Carver Hawke | Younger brother | Alive | Eleena has always been closed with her siblings. Carver grew cold and rebellious against Eleena — and the rest of the world — upon Bethany’s death. |
| Who could blame him, when he was a warrior and El a healer and they still failed to protect her. With time, he grew and accepted it wasn’t any of their fault. | |||
| He eventually joined the Templar Order, first out of rage toward Eleena for refusing to take him along in the Deep Roads. But mostly to protect his remaining family, by covering up for Eleena’s apostate status. | |||
| I like to imagine he remains in the group, as if he was a Grey Warden instead. Meeting more and more often with the rest of Eleena’s group, he quickly feel in love with Merrill and they ended up marrying one another after a couple of years travelling the world together. | |||
| Gamlen Amell | Uncle | Alive | Leandra used to tell a lot of stories about her little brother, Gamlen, to Eleena and the twins. All the shenanigans of their childhood, how he helped her and Malcolm sneaking out… But meeting him in person seemed like a whole different human being. His gambling addiction and reclusive attitude made him seem cold. |
| Although they might not always agree on everything, she cares a lot about him. And he does too, even if he doesn’t want to admit it. | |||
| Charade Amell | Cousin | Alive | Being Gamlen & Mara Hartling’s daugther, it makes Charade Eleena’s cousin. But Gamlen wasn’t aware he had a daugther. As someone very close to her family, Eleena helped Charade to get in touch and catch up with Gamlen. It was tricky at first, but they overcame the distance between them. |
| Revka Amell | Cousin once-removed | Unknown | They’ve never met. Eleena only heard stories from her parents about Revka. |
| Aristide Amell & Bethann Walker | Grandparents | Deceased (9:11 & 9:10) | They’ve never met. Leandra’s parents told her to choose between Malcolm or them, and she choose Malcolm. As they left on bad terms, she didn’t talk about them much. Eleena heard more about her grandparents from Gamlen. |
