introducing she-who-breaks-the-laws-of-nature-kind-of
Hello, everyone! I'm Alice, and I'll be bringing you the Dwarf Mage premade--y'know, the one who really shouldn't exist naturally? According to all recognized facts about magic and dwarves? Yea-p. That's her.
Her name is Signe [pronounced sig-NEE or sig-NAY, as near as I can tell, though if anyone is much up on their Norse myth and wants to tell me the correct pronunciation I would be forever in your debt!] - she was once Signe daughter of Orsin of the Smith Caste, but when her distant cousin Dagna was made a Paragon for discovering how to make dwarves into mages, Signe was raised (along with every other good-for-nothing person who could claim feasible relation to the new Paragon) to the nobility and made Signe Dagna, or Signe of House Dagna. Of course, now that she's been exiled from Orzammar and made Casteless, she's right back to plain ol' Signe.
She's a young, clever girl, if a little bit withdrawn; but she's never been to the surface, and only left Orzammar once or twice in her life (and that, recently)--she's got a lot of those troublesome dwarven superstitions about the surface and topsiders. Like, are you definitely sure that we're not going to fall up into the sky and burn to death on the sun? ..... can you check? Just to make sure. She became a mage mostly because of peer-pressure and nepotism--the extended family pressured Paragon Dagna into "doing some good for us for once" and administering the Lyrium Treatment to at least one family member. Conscious of this, Signe has been working her butt off to prove that she's not just another good-for-nothing member of the newest and probably least worthwhile noble family in the Diamond District.
I'd love to plot with you guys~! Establishing any common history with her might be tough, if you're not the Dwarf Commoner or Orzammar Noble or someone else from Orzammar, since Sigs has been underground her entire life, but we can always plan something for later down the road!
edit: I think there is a reason that I should never be allowed to do anything after waking up at 6AM. It's actually Signy and I have been writing Signe all day and oh god I do not have a brain I need to go smarten up or something.
