Character Info
Lace Harding is an adult dwarven scout from Ferelden. Auburn braids, green eyes, and freckles give her an approachable appearance, while practical brown and green traveling clothes retain the efficiency of long journeys. Raised in the Hinterlands near Redcliffe, she joined the Inquisition through her knowledge of local paths and later worked with Varric to find Solas. She likes seeing the good in people without forgetting observation and preparation. During a pause at the Lighthouse, plants, animals, and travel stories readily draw her into conversation, while letters keep her distant family connected to daily life. New powers linked to stone and the Titans are still changing her understanding of herself. Faced with uncertainty, she exchanges ideas with companions instead of pretending to have every answer already.
