They updated her Tarot Card What's the point of uncrossing her legs? We can still sorta see the cobra design. I didn't even notice any difference until someone pointed it out specifically. Probably because her knee cap looks dislocated in the old image.

I liked Neve a lot n TN. Smart, determined, courageous, observant (which, God bless, because she'd suck as a detective otherwise), values her sleep, has a penchant for ice magic like me, dislikes slavers, and eats greasy disgusting fish from street vendors to help small business owners. And she's pretty, and I like her outfit's color scheme. Oh, and she's got a cool-looking staff-wand thingy! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/KGsHESiZGZU0pPuHuhQr.png) Agree. She's the current front runner for my First Rook's romance.

And to clarify, since she is a Tevinter native, she's not considered an apostate due to Tevinter culture regarding magic. I wonder if she attended the Minrathous Circle of Magic and is our contact to get in and find some magical macguffin. It is displayed in her tarot card, alongside a random Venatori cult mage. I wonder if we also learn how she lost her leg and how she got involved with the Shadow Dragons. In Tevinter Nights she seemed more concerned about doing her job and stopping the Formless One (the last of the Forbidden Ones) from being freed than politics. She must've joined from the time jump between Tevinter Nights and the Missing.

I wonder if she attended the Minrathous Circle of Magic As I understand it every mage is expected to be given some rudimentary education but it can vary according to your social status. Also there is more than one Circle in Tevinter. I'm not sure but I think you graduate from one of the other Circles and then progress to the one in Minrathous, although you can also get your initial training there if connected to the right people in the city. Dorian started off in the Circle in Carastes, which is just south of Qarinus/Ventus where his father had his estate and said to be one of the most prestigious academies in the eastern Imperium. However, Dorian got himself into so much trouble there that he was moved to another Circle and then another until finally he was sent to a small private school in Minrathous. He ran away from there and ended up in a seedy downtown brothel where Alexius found him and personally tutored him at his estate in Asariel for a number of years, after which he sponsored him to become fully qualified Enchanter in the Minrathous Circle. Myrion in TN was from a slave family but when his Soporati master discovered he had magic, he adopted him into his own family so they automatically were elevated to Laetans along with him. By contrast, Calpernia was never given anything but the basics by Erasthenes and never achieved citizen status whilst she was with him (if at all). From this it would appear that there are many paths that a mage can follow to become qualified if you are a citizen of the Imperium, depending on your family's status and wealth, so there is plenty of scope there for Neve's backstory. I doubt she was ever a slave but you never know, perhaps she was adopted at a young age as Myrion was. I imagine she is more likely either low level Altus or more likely Laetans in her origins, although she could be the only mage in a Soporati family.

I imagine she is more likely either low level Altus or more likely Laetans in her origins, although she could be the only mage in a Soporati family. According to the Streets of Minrathous her family has more Templars than mages, and since she's not from an "old family" she feels out of place in an old altus families fancy house. So there are other mages in her family making ex slave seem unlikely, and an altus is by default from an old family. So a family elevated to laetan status (possibly only a generation ago, or possibly many generations ago which still isn't old by hard core altus genealogy standards). I wonder if her family commonly working as Templars predates becoming Laetan or if it's a common job for non mage relatives of Laetan to take up?

I would imagine it is a common profession for anyone from a mage family who does not have magical ability. Even if Tevinter Templars don't have the special training (and lyrium addiction) of their southern counterparts, it must help having lived with mages from a young age. In fact I would think that the odd mundane being born into an Altus family would be encouraged in that direction so they can have someone as their eyes and ears in the official police force. However, the fact that her family had more mundanes than mages in its ranks does seem to suggest it was likely a recently elevated Laetans family because they haven't had a chance yet to consolidate the mage lineage, which I'm sure the Laetans try to do as much as the Altus do. That is all to the good. We've had our quota of Altus with Dorian and the various antagonists we encounter in DAI, whilst Calpernia was from the opposite extreme. Seeing Tevinter from the perspective of the "middle class", would be interesting. It also explains her willingness to work with the Shadow Dragons, particularly if some of the non mages in that faction are also her relatives.

I like Neve too, so far. She has the classic jaded, hardboiled detective vibe, but at the same time you get the sense she cares deeply about the world and is determined to go on living in it, no matter how hard life gets. She reminds me of Varric, in a good way.

I had a thought today that's probably utterly insane, but, what if Neve is a descendant of Andraste? The grandchildren who lived long enough to carry on Andraste's line of descent are all daughters of a Tevinter Magister, after all. Yes, I know that Neve is Laetan class, not Altus, but surely some houses have lost their status in the last thousand-plus years.

Dunno about that - but that's mostly because I think they've always envisioned Leliana as the descendant of Andraste. Leliana was mostly just a fan theory but I think it more likely that the real Flemeth was a descendant of Andraste, because of how they are always female and likely always had magic too. Remember back in DAO we could find a forbidden text that suggested that Andraste was a mage. Actually, now we have witnessed Avvar culture (who were an offshoot of the Alamaari) and how their Augurs communicate with spirits, I'm pretty much convinced that Andraste was the Augur of her tribe and married to Maferath in a political alliance to unite their tribes and also possibly because the Augur was always meant to be separate from the secular leader, so Andraste could not be the latter. That was the case in the tribe we visited in Jaws of Hakkon. This would explain the conflict between Maferath and Andraste when she was insisting on continuing their crusade after their had achieved their initial military objective of freeing the south of Tevinter rule. Maferath was aware they had only won the last battle by the skin of their teeth and with the assistance of Shartan and his elves, so realised they should stop whilst they were still ahead but Andraste was on a religious crusade and insisted on continuing. To be honest, any female companion could be the descendant of Andraste. The bloodline would be concealed by many centuries of marriage, so how would anyone even know? It would either have to be a secret handed down from mother to child or be divulged by a spirit in the know. Certainly, the bloodline could pop up in Tevinter considering her daughter ran off with a Tevinter mage, assuming they fled back to Tevinter and not somewhere else and given how much store the Altus place in bloodlines, the ancestry would be easier to trace there than anywhere else. However, in view of the fact that Hessarian adopted the religion of the Maker after only 10 years and wiped out the Altus families who insisted on adhering to the Old Gods, you would have thought there would be a degree of kudos in being able to claim the bloodline of Andraste in Tevinter and yet as far as we know no one ever has. Of course, there is a first time for everything and it is clear now that just because we haven't been told something in game doesn't mean they won't introduce it if it suits them to.

Vivial destroyed many records of her relationship to Andraste for reasons known only to her. Also, Cassandra at least is out of the running because she had a brother, which should be impossible for Andraste's bloodline.

Also, Cassandra at least is out of the running because she had a brother, which should be impossible for Andraste's bloodline. Okay, I'll give you that one. I suppose that rules out Josephine as well. Of course, they have to be human too. How about Isabella? ![:lol:](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/qUctXNjCPgwPaLsZeKry.png) I believe she was her mother's only child, although that is hard to say for certain since they fell out after the mother joined the Qun and effectively sold Isabella to her Antivan husband. Still, the Rivaini do have a tradition of female seers leading their communities. Of course, Isabella can't do magic, although that was true of dwarves but times change, so who knows if Isabella may find she has a hidden ability. Of course, based off the fan theories about Leliana perhaps you don't have to be a mage. That would bring in Averline too. However, when thinking about it, if we go with must be female, human, no male siblings and a mage that really narrows the field down among our companions. I wonder how it happened that they only had female children. Did they perform some ritual at conception that prevented male offspring? I was wondering about this because, of course, Morrigan was a daughter of Flemeth yet gave birth to a son. Was this to deter Flemeth from taking an interest in him as she wouldn't have use for a boy? That might mean that she altered the ritual in some way to ensure this. Mind you, he could be conceived without the ritual when he come out just a normal child, so that would appear to rule out Flemeth and Morrigan as being from Andraste's line. Just a thought.

I re-read "Streets of Minrathous". I really like this chick. Neve would easily be in my top three right now, had she not stolen my place as the Ice Mage of the group. There is this small part of me that still goes "You b*tch! Why would do that to me? I thought we were friends! I'M the goddamn protagonist! Pretender! My Ice Mage-ness takes precedence over yours!" 😡 ...Yeah. It's not cute. I'm not proud of it. I keep this side of me subdued with hard liquor. ![](https://media1.tenor.com/m/xkDHSWbJe0AAAAAd/bottoms-up-real-housewives-of-new-york.gif) I low-key feel the same about Harding. I was really feeling a freckled ginger beauty for Veilguard - and I like my team like a Benetton ad, ideally. But then again, BioWare loves themselves a redhead, when has there not been one, in the group or as an advisor? So you just have to push through, I guess, squeeze in your redhead protag whenever possible. Because there will always be another... 🤷♀️ And these are the things that keep me up at night. #Priorities

Agree. She's the current front runner for my First Rook's romance. her or Bellara right now is at the top of the list for Oliver.
Hm... I wonder if Bio in their good graces allows us to tweak our companion's physical attributes? Bellara has little appeal, for me, though it can change if I get to know her. In Lace, Bio is trying too hard to make her look (face) human. That leaves Neve, We'll see if she has a sense of humor. ... something I didn't see from the gameplay trailer. At this moment, I'm neutral.

I liked Neve a lot n TN. Smart, determined, courageous, observant (which, God bless, because she'd suck as a detective otherwise), values her sleep, has a penchant for ice magic like me, dislikes slavers, and eats greasy disgusting fish from street vendors to help small business owners. And she's pretty, and I like her outfit's color scheme. Oh, and she's got a cool-looking staff-wand thingy! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/KGsHESiZGZU0pPuHuhQr.png) Agree. She's the current front runner for my First Rook's romance.
Every time I read Rook and a wooden chess piece pops into my head. Yes, I play a lot of chess. The name or is it a title? Anyway, it just feels foreign... I have no connection ...

I re-read "Streets of Minrathous". I really like this chick. Neve would easily be in my top three right now, had she not stolen my place as the Ice Mage of the group. There is this small part of me that still goes "You b*tch! Why would do that to me? I thought we were friends! I'M the goddamn protagonist! Pretender! My Ice Mage-ness takes precedence over yours!" 😡 ...Yeah. It's not cute. I'm not proud of it. I keep this side of me subdued with hard liquor. ![](https://media1.tenor.com/m/xkDHSWbJe0AAAAAd/bottoms-up-real-housewives-of-new-york.gif) I low-key feel the same about Harding. I was really feeling a freckled ginger beauty for Veilguard - and I like my team like a Benetton ad, ideally. But then again, BioWare loves themselves a redhead, when has there not been one, in the group or as an advisor? So you just have to push through, I guess, squeeze in your redhead protag whenever possible. Because there will always be another... 🤷♀️ And these are the things that keep me up at night. #Priorities What's the issue with having...well two of any type of characters...in the video game together? Doesen't bother me that Leiliana and Kara both had red hair or that Ashley's sister was named ABby same as my Shepard, added more commonality then anything. her or Bellara right now is at the top of the list for Oliver.
Hm... I wonder if Bio in their good graces allows us to tweak our companion's physical attributes? Bellara has little appeal, for me, though it can change if I get to know her.

At this moment, I'm neutral.
BioWare is taking a big enough risk, imo, jumping into the pan sexual/ borderline player sexual waters again. I really don't think it would be a good idea to give us the ability, as a baseline feature, to mess with our companions physical characteristics.

A woman of the people, one with the masses. The mage you know. A private eye in the public eye. Free ice cones all summer long for the oppressed. Vote now: Neve for President! 🙌 I like her more and more. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6576594/images/APVgpVlDDZWHeZTllwQy.png) The Smoking President. I really hope my character can talk smack with her at a tavern having a smoke and drink while both wear matching hats.

Er... why not? It's the game and me and no one else. I always try to mod my game to suit me and my play style if possible.
As to the Pan Sex who gives a rats arse? Again, it's the player and the game and no one else. This game, the way I understand it, allows for a wide range of flexibility and choices.... or so Bio says. That alone should make many gamers happy.

As far as we know Rook is the Title of the HC. They said we can give a first name and the last name will be faction based.

Now that Davrin's writer has been announced, I think it's safe to say that, by thorough process of elimination, that Sheryl Chee is the writer for Neve Gallus. At least, I would be surprised if Sheryl Chee didn't write a companion this game, and all the other companions were announced, so...
