We see little of her beyond the profile and even that is half-concealed by the short dark gray hair falling over her eye. Hawke in Kirkwall sometime around 9:35. She has the Amell features too, the more delicate grandfather's side rather than her sister, mother and grandmother. Dark hair is cut into a bob, and she wears heavy liner and shadow in addition to the blood-red paint smear across her nose. She looks like she's making yet another smart remark.

When she was 12 Luna Lavellan strayed too far from the camp of Clan Lavellan. A human who was looking for the clan attempted to kidnap her, and in the struggle, her magic manifested for the first time and she set him on fire. She was excited for the magic and felt she defended her home.

Her first kill was her mamae when she was 14. Lea'vune had made a deal with a Rage demon to protect her from the Templars but had lost control of the spirit. Freya only survived due to her magic manifesting as she was about to land a blow. Her mamae ended up impaled by a bolt of fire.

I got a bit carried away in writing this 😅 be kind, I didnt really reread this or anything, just a drabble.

Sin's first kill was... traumatizing. He was not having a good time when he was a kid.
Sin only tells of his first kill many years after their adventures. They were in the North of Ferelden and happened to come across the barely standing remains of a cottage, a poisonous shrub having taken up residence in the rotting wood. A large apple tree stands in the overgrown clearing, Sin approaches with a somber look and places his hand against the bark. He turns to Lucanis, Davrin, and Assan. "I'd like to introduce you to my little sister, Amaryllis. Ryll, these are my husbands, and Assan." Later he tells them the story. He an Ryll were on the run, the Templars had attacked their Clan and scattered the survivors. Ryll got Blighted. They had sought out the Wardens, not knowing all the Wardens in Ferelden had been slaughtered at Ostagar. Instead they found an old elf in this cottage who said he could help her. They were scared kids, so they trusted him. Sin woke the next morning, his sister dead in his arms. To say he was overcome with grief and rage was an understatement. He doesnt remember much very clearly, but he does know the old elf did not fight back as Sin, barely 9 years old, killed him. Sin knows the elf had spoken something, but he does not remember, perhaps it was a plea for his life, perhaps it was a curse, though he has a feeling it was forgiveness and understanding. His memory becomes much clearer late into the day, body sore from digging a grave for his sister, trying to remember the funeral rite hed heard. He laid by the shallow grave, holding Ryll's hand for a long time, unsure if he could let go. The following day he buried her with apples hed found in the pantry, hoping one might grow to mark her resting place and that she might live on in some way within the tree. The old elf's body he left in the house, covered by a quilt. He tried to burn the place down but it never caught, and he couldnt bring himself to stay there any longer. Now, Sin took a long moment standing before the ruins, pensive. Part of him was still angry, still bitter, he could feel it roiling to life in his chest, but he was older now, much older, and he's seen what the Blight would have done, he knows his sister would not have gotten help. Amaryllis would have suffered and become a monster, the old elf did save her. It was a mercy they had found him when they did, before any worse symptoms had started. "I forgive you, stranger. I wont apologize for what I did, and I dont think youd want that. I just hope... I hope you're doin alright, wherever you've ended up."

I've slightly rephrased the question (I just wrote about this a long time ago, back when I was creating Rina's story 🤭)
"When I killed my first person... We were once clearing out a slaver's hideout, he was selling children, the bastard. So, I thought we'd killed everyone, I climbed into the hatch to check, and out of the darkness this kid came screaming at me. I didn't even put my dagger down, kid ran right into it. Blood was gushing, I stood there like an idiot, other children were bawling out of the darkness... Our healer said kid died instantly, ran into a dagger right in the throat. The team had to give me some time afterwards, while I was drinking dwarven moonshine like water..." "Wait, you said it yourself, you were clearing out the hideout. And those weren't your first slavers..." "Well, slavers, that was it, and you asked about the first person I killed..."

Vallira's first kill was a dwarf (child of stone.)

At first, nothing. They were all told they were merely drones, and as a Spirit of Harmony, Vallira felt killing such a mindless and soulless creature was nothing more than pruning an overlarge ant colony of a few of their members

pasco's first kill was another fledgling during the earlier days of his training (after being brought into the crows at age 8 but before he survived the poison test that brought him into house de riva at age 15). it was set up in the training to be a fight to the death so he really had no choice--

Zecky: didn't learn combat or magic until he left the Val Royeaux. The Dalish taught him cuz they had to fight people on the road often. His first kill was a bandit w/ lightning. He had nightmares at first. He tries to avoid killing people if can but will not hesitate to defend himself and friends.

carion’s first kill was some venatori he didn’t know the name of. he had seen death before. when he was brought into the shadows, raoul had killed a venatori right in front of him…

but for some reason, there was a strange bittersweet feeling that came with his own kill. he got over it quickly

It could've been sometime during the initial mage rebellion, but I always think of it as that first fight in the Hinterlands. Evelyn is so new to the Inquisition, new to the outside world in a lot of ways, and her first kill is some sellsword in a war that she's only reluctantly part of.

U'lea hadn't killed a person until he met Varric, and traveling with him and Lace and then being in the Veilguard he barely remembers his first anymore. But it was probably a bandit or a Venatori or a follower of Solas

Vincent’s first kill was at the age 14, one of the men who murdered their parents. It was instinct, a necessity. That event awakened something inside them, something snapped into place from that day making them who they are.

maybe an unnecessary obvious tw but we're talking some canon typical murders today
Back in Denerim, Vanya never killed. She was a thief, and sometimes she badly injured human boys and men who insulted her or tried to hurt her, but she didn't kill until being kidnapped by Vaughan on her wedding day. Fighting her way out of the estate, she just wanted to survive, she didn't think about consequences of her actions, and she sure as hell didn't stop to think "oh no, murder bad, I should be a nice little elf and obey!". She was angry, and she had been way too nice to these shem for all these years she carried her two sharp daggers. Not that she enjoyed the carnage, but she felt that she was in the right and they were long overdue for a punishment. Later, on the way to Ostagar, she thought about it more, but she didn't feel any remorse for the men she had killed. Only worry for what the revenge on the alienage would be like. Similarly, Branwyn would sometimes injure or incapacitate the templars that were hunting her family, but she didn't kill, ever — in fact, she was taught to not do that. Murder bad. Don't become the mad apostate they expect to see. Her first kills were the darkspawn on the escape from Lothering. She didn't feel anything for the monsters. Her first human kill was a merc during her first year in Kirkwall. She burned him to ashes in self defense. She was shocked, it happened so fast, she didn't really want to kill him. She drank too much that night, to try and forget. The following few times were similar. It wasn't until helping Anders meet up with Karl in the chantry that something snapped in her and made her feel…less bad about it. She takes no pleasure in it, however. With her clan, Fern spent most time studying and learning magic with her keeper, but sometimes she went hunting with her brother. She's not squeamish about killing an animal if that animal is to feed the clan so they can survive winter. That's just life. When Cassandra first took her out of the prison, Fern was terrified facing the demons. She's always been scared of them to begin with, and now she was to kill them? Nope. Too much. Let me hide and hope they go away. But she wanted to survive, so she did what was needed. Don't get me started on when she killed her first human (or elf, or dwarf). She was getting sick for the longest time. If not immediately in the field, then in the privacy of her bedroom. At first, she was unwell even when hearing the numbers of soldiers her Inquisition army killed — in her name, in the name of the idea she represented. She prefers peaceful ways, but understands that it doesn't always work like that…and she hates that. Havran ran away from home at 15 and wandered the land aimlessly for a few weeks. She had to defend herself sometimes, from various thugs she encountered, and she usually didn't look back to see if she killed them or not, she just wanted to get away fast. She tried to block it out and not think about it. Her first kill that she remembers clearly was when she was ambushed by some darkspawn on a path through the forest. She was able to defend herself and kill some of them with just an old axe she had stolen from the alienage. But there were too many of them and she could not defend herself forever. If it wasn't for Vanya and her group, coincidentally passing by and hearing her screams, she likely wouldn't have made it. That aside, she was honestly proud of the darkspawn she killed alone, and was even more dead set on becoming a Grey Warden in the future. Little did she know.

His mom when he was 4. It wasn't exactly intentional. Frank didn't get a lot of time to process as he was taken away quickly after to be sold off to a blood mage and her body was left on the streets of Qunandar. He is yet to find out what happened to her remains.

If animals count, Elion's first was a rat he killed with a rock at the age of six (and hated himself for). As for people, it would be his first contract at the age of fifteen—a noble's son known for mistreating women in brothels. He didn't feel so bad about that one.
