My journey towards redemption has been long and fraught with challenges. It is a path I willingly chose to walk, guided by the Maker's light and my unwavering belief in the power of good. Each step forward brings me closer to my goal, but it also reveals more layers of complexity within myself.

A Past Haunted

In the depths of my being lies a past stained by bloodshed and darkness. The life I once led as an assassin for the secretive organization known as the Crows fills me with remorse and regret. The lives I took weigh heavy on my soul, like burdens that can never be fully lifted.

I have sought solace in prayer, seeking forgiveness from those whose lives were forever altered by my blade. But true absolution cannot be found solely through words muttered into empty air; it must come through actions that bring light where there was once only shadow.

Following The Maker's Path

The teachings of Andraste guide me along this arduous path towards redemption. For too long, violence has reigned unchecked across Thedas - wars waged over petty differences or greed for power. My desire is not simply to end these conflicts but to provide hope for a better future: one built upon compassion, understanding, and unity.

I strive every day to embody these values in all aspects of my life – whether it be during diplomatic negotiations or inspiring others through song or storytelling.

Love Found And Lost

During our battle against the Blight alongside Grey Warden heroes such as Alistair Theirin (now King) & Commander Surana (my heart), emotions stirred deep within me that had long been dormant beneath layers of hardened cynicism.

A forbidden love blossomed between us amidst chaos and uncertainty—a flame fueled by shared experiences on bloody battlefields where death danced around us like fate itself.

But alas! Fate conspired against our union—duty and responsibility tore us apart, leaving wounds that still ache to this day. The pain of lost love serves as a constant reminder of the choices I made in my past and fuels my determination to create a world where such sacrifices are no longer necessary.

A Voice In Turmoil

After the fall of Kirkwall's Champion, chaos reigned supreme within its walls. As an advisor to Divine Justinia V, I lent my voice and expertise to help navigate through political turmoil.

I witnessed firsthand the corruption that had seeped into every crack and crevice—the Chantry itself was not immune. It became evident that reform was needed: a cleansing fire must burn away the impurities poisoning our beloved institution.

Left Hand Of The Divine

Now entrusted with an even greater role as Left Hand of Divine Victoria II (may her reign be just), I find myself at the forefront of change within the Chantry.

A position once held by revered figures like Cassandra Pentaghast & Leliana herself before me - it carries immense weight yet offers boundless opportunities for transformation.

I am determined to reform this ancient organization from within—to strip away its prejudices and injustices, replacing them with compassion, acceptance, and true devotion towards all who seek solace in Andraste's light.

Seeking A Partner On This Journey

But redemption is not a solitary pursuit; it requires trust, honesty—someone by your side who believes in you when doubt threatens to consume you whole.

I yearn for someone whose strength complements mine—a partner who shares my vision for Thedas' future; one unafraid to challenge me or offer their differing perspective.

A confidant amidst darkness—a source of comfort during long nights spent pouring over intelligence reports or negotiating alliances through carefully chosen words.

Interactions That Reflect Complexity

Warmth, wit, vulnerability—these are the facets of my character that I strive to bring forth in all interactions. For beneath the hardened exterior lies a woman grappling with doubts and fears, yet determined to make a positive impact on this world.

When engaging with others, I seek connection—the spark of understanding that bridges gaps between us. Each conversation is an opportunity for growth—for me to learn from different perspectives or share my own experiences.

Hobbies That Inspire And Rebuild

Singing has always been a balm for my weary soul—a way to express emotions too complex for mere words. Whether it be hymns dedicated to the Maker or ballads recounting our victories and losses, music holds immense power.

Storytelling allows me not only to entertain but also inspire hope within those who listen. Tales of bravery in dark times weave threads of courage through hearts worn down by despair.

I also find solace in rebuilding what was broken after conflicts have ravaged lands and lives—an act symbolic of my own journey towards redemption.

Leliana's Song: Diplomacy And Intelligence Gathering

Leliana's Song echoes throughout Thedas as both metaphorical and literal representation—it symbolizes diplomacy intertwined with intelligence gathering & enforcement.

Through carefully cultivated relationships formed throughout years spent adventuring across Thedas, I have built a network capable of unraveling secrets hidden even from the most powerful figures.

In Conclusion

As each day dawns anew, so does my resolve strengthen—to redeem myself fully by forging a path towards justice, compassion, and unity.

I know this road will not be easy; there will be obstacles aplenty—but armed with faith in Andraste's teachings and guided by unwavering determination—I shall prevail.
