God, I love Josephine. I don’t mean just kind, beautiful, soft spoken Josephine with her lovely smile and big brown eyes, although for the love of God who can blame me? I mean I love adviser Josephine.
I love the woman who spoke ‘niceness before knives’ not only because she would rather speak than shed blood, but because she realizes niceness can be a far more devastating weapon.
This is the woman who told you she can end a marriage with a well placed glove–or that when a low standing noble attempted to get his daughter back from the Inquisition, she dressed that daughter up in Inquisitor colors and had her destroy her father’s entire presence just by outshining him at a ball–or stop an entire war by speaking to the right people.
Josephine doesn’t need a knife to ruin someone. She needs her wit, her charm, and a smile.
Cullen will a send an army for you. Leliana will stand a man in the back and blackmail another with the murder. Josephine only needs a single letter to take down a family dynasty and anyone connected to them.
