AT the risk of being unpopular I am going to disagree with this set of gifs. I don’t think he was happy in Awakenings. I think he was deflecting and bitter. And I don’t blame Justice for what happened - Justice thought he was helping, their…

I agree with you there, I know he was something more of a cocky little shit in Awakening haha! I’m not hating on Justice at all, after all like you said, it was Anders who suggested the whole damn thing, it’s late at night an Ima just trying to put out a little light hearted comedy. C:

Nah, he wasn’t happy. He had a sense of humor and a coping mechanism, though. Even if that coping mechanism (RUN AWAAAAAAY) wasn’t mature or healthy.

tl;dr BAWWWWWW ANDERS NEVER HAD A PROPER CHILDHOOD

Did any of the companion characters?

WE MADE A CHART and then deleted it. But it helped us come to the conclusion that a pretty small number of them have backstories that don’t involve them being in some way traumatized (or just straight fucked around) during childhood. We didn’t count Sten (childhood doesn’t exist as a familiar concept in the Qun), Shale (unknowable), Dog, or Justice. The Hawke siblings count only once.

THE OFFICIAL LIST OF DRAGON AGE COMPANION CHARACTERS WHO DID NOT (OR AT LEAST PROBABLY DID NOT) HAVE SHITTY CHILDHOODS: Leliana, Oghren, Velanna, Merrill, Aveline, Varric. Sebastian and the Hawke siblings could go either way, really.
