Mahanon was the default name when I first made him in Inquisition. I tried out so many other name options but none of them suited him as well as that. I found out later that it could derive from an old Irish name that also means "bear", so that was a fun coincidence!

Snapdragons represent strength, resilience and protection, some variants also symbolising desire or fascination. This matches well with Mahanon's survival of all the hardship he's suffered and his tumultuous relationship with Dorian.

Meraad would live in the sea if she could. She can swim very well and is able to hold her breath for a very long time while diving for treasure.
Mahanon used to enjoy swimming but since the loss of his arm, he finds it hard work and uncomfortable.

Mahanon didn't really mind the military-style outfit, but he HATED the colour. If it could have been green, grey or even a darker shade of red, he would have been far more comfortable. Oh, and he would've preferred to lose the boots. Man hates wearing shoes.

Mahanon would spend the day bothering Dorian 🤭 or if his beloved is unavailable he'd spend a few hours down at the smithy to blow off some steam. If the weather is good in the evening, he'd share a picnic dinner with Dorian in his favourite rooftop garden.

Mahanon would hate it at first, especially if it reminds him of the Anchor or what he witnessed during his past in Tevinter. He'd withdraw into himself, pushing everyone away to avoid hurting them, but with time (and a LOT of help) he might eventually learn to accept it.

Meraad would tell the story of how she hunted a Great Bear that was terrorising a village in Ferelden's hinterlands and the epic battle that ensued, ending by dramatically showing off the scars it gave her.
Mahanon would leave as soon as people started to approach.

When Mahanon checked on Dorian after the ritual his father inflicted on him and discovered he'd lost all memory of their relationship. It utterly broke Mahanon's heart, fuelling his escape and destroying any possibility that he would ever be able to forgive Halward.

Meraad doesn't dislike it, if it's well-written or makes sense with the story, but it wouldn't be her first choice.

Meraad actually leads a pretty healthy lifestyle, at least as far as a mercenary can, but she would admit to probably drinking a bit more than she should.
Mahanon is very similar to Elion and Santi; just substitute the coffee for tea 😅

Mahanon doesn't like them much either. If he's had a good day, he'll be fine, but if it's a bad one or he hasn't slept well, the thunder makes him jumpy and anxious. On those days he'll watch the storm from a window, so he can brace for the noise after the lightning flashes.

Meraad is very likely to fall first, and probably harder too 🥰
Mahanon would never admit it, but Dorian most likely fell first - mostly due to the circumstances of their meeting and Mahanon's own fears. Once he realised how he truly felt, he fell HARD 💜

Meraad prefers to keep it civil, but will start (and finish) a fight if they're asking for it. She'll probably ask if they want first aid afterwards, though.
