I’ve been playing a lot of Dragon Age recently and this idea lodged itself into my skull and won’t leave - I’m only on Origins and have skimmed the wiki so some of my info might be wrong. Also spinning some headcanons a fair bit, so -

Izuku is an Elven Mage. He was a rouge mage until he met Mina, and he quickly became enamored with the Qunari faith and culture after being oppressed by the chantry and Humanity all his life. Initially he hid his magical abilities and became proficient with bows and arrows in order to assimilate to Qunari culture. After instinctively using his magic to save his fellow Qunari however, he became the first sanctioned Mage in Qunari Culture - A role he has grown to take very seriously.

Mina is a Qunari from Par Vollen. While she follows and wholeheartedly believes in the Qun, she is a lot more lenient towards the more extreme natures of it. Still, like any other Qunari, she does her duty - Considering she’s a solider, lore wise, Mina is technically considered male in Qunari society, being Aqun-Athlok. Mina is the one who introduced Izuku to the basic principles of the Qun, and was unaware he was a mage at the time - Though she has come to accept it wholeheartedly

I wonder if people have realized I really really like the Qunari…
