Outfit

Light Chainmail Dress with leather shoulders and a leather mandarin collar that had the Eye of the Divine stamped into it and peeked through the always-up hooded cowl + Battledress of the Provocateur (This perfect suit of Drakeskin Armor embodies the paradox of the bardic spy. Intricate details yearn for an audience, but a worthy owner gives only a glimpse in the reflection of a blade drawn swiftly from the heart.) + Lambskin Gauntlets (Elegance is the primary goal of most glovers of Orlais, but protection is close or equal if you wish a return customer. This pattern is highly sophisticated, with a number of disguised reinforcements.) + High Court Shoes (Delicate layered suede. Crafted for–and stolen from–a noble dressing far above his skill. Technically a low boot, though such pedantical offerings are social anathema in Orlais.) + Padded Leather Pants + Seeker's Circle (An amulet depicting a wheel representing the Maker's unending patience and Andraste's unquenchable passion. Simple and inspirational, though uncommon outside the Chantry. A gift meant to be given without conditions.) Favorite Shoes: Powder-Blue Satin Shoes with long ribbons that circle the ankle. Gold Lace Trim and dangling Gold Charms shaped like Puppies add the finishing touches. Equipment: Pair of Lyrium-Folded Daggers + Royeaux One and Two (The heraldry on the pommel suggests this silverite sword was liberated from an Orlesian royal guard. The informal name derives from a basic cut and thrust parade drill.) + Marjolaine's Recurve (Leliana's mentor taught her apprentice more than just social graces, and the younger bard had always coveted this masterfully worked dragonthorn longbow. Beautiful carving and delicate inlays around the grip wordlessly convey one of Marjolaine's great lessons: just because something is deadly, there is no reason it cannot be beautiful.)

Though Leliana is uncertain if this powerful memory is real or not, she cherishes the image of her Fereldan mother. Oisine died when Leliana was young. When Leliana was raised by Lady Vasseur thereafter, she learned much about the royal court and Orlesian culture. In her youth she read a lot of books, he quickly developed an obsessive interest in stories, ballads and songs, as well as any tales she could learn. At sixteen, Leliana met Marjolaine, who later became her close friend and mentor, teaching her way of the bard: manipulation, subterfuge and combat. They traveled across Thedas. Later Marjolaine betrayed and framed Leliana, having her arrested and abused. With the aid of Orlesian Revered Mother Dorothea, Leliana escaped her captors. Upon securing a new life, Leliana found purpose in the Chantry and Dorothea's calm advice. To atone for her sins and to hide from Marjolaine, Leliana joined the chantry In the village of Lothering as a lay sister, becoming intensely religious.

After their victory against the blight, Leliana and Warden were forced on a different paths, but promised to reunite some time in the future. Leliana answered a call from Divine Justinia V, her old friend Dorothea who had now the head of the Orlesian Chantry. Leliana agreed to become her spymaster.
