Boggles the mind that he stays in Kirkwall, though I think that has to do with his pinning over Hawke more than anything. He has little empathy for elves, and even back in Awakening he was always ready to insist that mages have it worse than elves, who are social/economic slaves in Ferelden and literal slaves in Tevinter.Īnders would like nothing more than to be a Tevinter magister. Anders is a human Andrastian who thinks his religion is the one true way. She is very much like Isabela in that way, given that Isabela takes the perception of her "looseness" and plays it up times a thousand to mess with the other followers as well.Ī good example would be Anders. It probably never thought she'd figure out how to actually clean the mirror. Yes, the demon told her how to do it, but it likely only dropped a hint so she would keep coming back. That's not a little thing she figured out there. Meanwhile, Merrill is a genius level mage who figured out how to cleanse the taint with blood magic.
So to have people treating me like I'm stupid because I'm black and/or because I look younger than I actually am is all levels of insulting. My IQ is about twenty or thirty points above average. And it's even worse when you're a "minority" because the way people perceive you is further colored by their prejudices on top of your seeming youth. People talk down to me, coddle me, and patronize me all my life instead of recognizing me for the strong, independent, intelligent person that I am. I'm saying this as a woman in her thirties who people still mistake for a teenager.
Unfortunately, people are always going to treat you the way you look and not the way you actually are.
