Just thought of one of the reasons I am disappointed in Spite and Lucanis. Why doesn’t Spite take control of Lucanis during an emotional stressful time. We get it when Illario kills Zara sure. But nowhere else do I see Lucanis struggle against him. I saw it so much with Anders and Justice. And based on how Lucanis almost lost it in the wigmakers job and had to have Illario shake him out of it, Spite should be feeding off of Lucanis’ struggling emotions. Lucanis should be having to struggle with holding himself back more. Or he should be having moments of spanning at people because of emotions. Like Caterina. Or Illario. Or davrin. It should have been more abrasive because of Spite adding into it. Or Spite should slipt through during those moments.

And I am so annoyed that they let all the potential that Lucanis had, go to waste. I wanted to be able to see his struggle with Spite more. Show me that he is a malicious demon, not just an annoyance to Lucanis. I wanted him to keep everyone at arms length and him to slowly have those barriers broken by spending time with the group and Rook. I think Illario should have been called out for his betrayal but the same time for Lucanis to be called out on how he treats his cousin. And I wanted to see Illario get a chance to express everything he has had to deal with that lead him to the point of betrayal. I wanted both of them to be able to START to reconcile, not it all magically go away but for them to slowly rebuild trust. And Illario and Lucanis together could have challenged Caterina and made Illario First Talon with Lucanis to support him. It would have broken the mold both of them have been forced into at such an young age. Lucanis would be free from Caterina’s control and Illario would finally have the recognition he deserved.

• Had sex in public: No
• Gotten tattoos: No
• Gotten piercings: No

ARE THEY:

• A cuddler: Yes! She has a hard time sleeping if she doesn’t cuddle something. Whether that is a teddy bear or Lucanis.
• Scared easily: When in a serious situation, no. She can keep her head cool and focus on getting her mission done as fast and efficient as possible. in her day to day? She is easily scared. Someone hiding behind a wall and then jumps out at her, she will screech and fall flat on her ass.
• Jealous easily: No.
• Trustworthy: Yes. She may be sarcastic some of the time, but when it comes to important things, she is 100%.

FAMILY:

• Sibling(s): No she is an only child. Though she does consider the other Shadow Dragons sort of like her family.
• Parents: She doesn’t know her parents. She was orphaned at a very young age and was enslaved and almost sold off to the Crows, until a group of freedom fighters attacked the auction she was in and freed her. That was when she started learning how to fight and swore to help free the other slaves in Tevinter and to protect the people she considers family.
• Children: Her and Lucanis end up adopting a small elven girl about a couple years after the final battle. They find out her parents were killed in that fight and Silvana sees a bit of her self in this young girl so she takes her in. And then after another couple of years, Silvana finds herself pregnant with twin boys! The Dellamorte genes are strong!
• Pets: Silvana never got a pet living on the streets of Minrathous. Lucanis probably still has a pet snake and maybe their daughter gets a pet Raven. And then maybe around the time the twins are about 5 they get a Mabari dog. Silvana conviced Lucanis to get it under the pretenses that Mabari are incredibly smart and will help keep their family safe.
