'''Sebastian Vael'''

An archer of noble birth, Sebastian comes as a DLC character in ''The Exiled Prince'', where the player must help him avenge the death of his family. His trailer is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEefvzjO81Y here]].

* RevengeBeforeReason: Judging from the trailer, he's willing to go to any end to avenge his family's death.

Mages have melee attacks now, and the trailer exaggerates their prowess for marketing/Rule Of Cool purposes. Isabela had dark skin in the first game. She was simply in odd lighting.


* AllYourPowersCombined: Hawke may be able to become both a warrior and a spellcaster of some sort, as evidenced by a trailer where Hawke shows both great proficiency in weapons and magic.

Sorting alphabetically (by first name, since we don\'t know everyone\'s last name) after the Hawkes. Also, I\'m going to go ahead and add Merrill from that German preview. As far as I can tell, none of the information was wrong, but someone mistranslated. In any case, no developer has said she isn\'t. Estrogen Brigade Bait is an intentional trope on the writer\'s part, not a character with a lot of fangirls. As the example itself notes that Varric really doesn\'t count, he\'s not an example.


'''Aveline Vallen'''

The daughter of an exiled Orlesian Chevalier. She believes that honor and pride come second to pragmatism.

* HotAmazon: So far, she's the most muscular woman in the Dragon Age (or in {{BioWare}}) games to date--that's not to say she doesn't have a feminine figure.
* MeaningfulName: An in-universe example; Aveline was the name of the first female Chevalier.
* WidowWoman: Wesley, her templar husband, dies shortly after meeting him due to darkspawn taint. Either you or Aveline can kill him.

'''Fenris'''

An elven slave turned living weapon. He used his power to escape his master, a Tevinter Magister who is trying to reclaim his "property."

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: That pretty much runs the norm for elves anyway. Especially if they have white hair, green eyes, and a dark and troubled past.
* IdentityAmnesia: The lyrium-infusion process wiped his memory.
* LivingWeapon: Brainwashed by his Tevinter owner into this.
* ScarsAreForever: Due to being infused with Lyrium when he was transformed. They cause him some amount of pain, more so when touched.



'''Merrill'''

A Dalish Elf who was Keeper Marethari's first in the Dalish Elf Origin. She returns in Dragon Age II as a companion after being pushed by Marethari to join Hawke.

* AscendedExtra: She was a temporary companion for half of the one-hour long Dalish Origin, there to give the player a mage temporarily. In ''Dragon Age II'', she returns as a full companion.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Just like Isabela, Merrill appeared earlier in the ''Dragon Age'' franchise for a brief time.



* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Quite possibly one of gaming's most unconventional examples. You wouldn't believe the amount of {{Squee}} the man can generate.



'''Aveline Vallen'''

The daughter of an exiled Orlesian Chevalier. She believes that honor and pride come second to pragmatism.

* HotAmazon: So far, she's the most muscular woman in the Dragon Age games to date--that's not to say she doesn't have a feminine figure.

It was there in NWN, as well. It\'s not really a mythology gag, any more than the sheer amount of dead wives/girlfriends for male LI are (for the record, the count is six thus far, not including Anomen\'s dead little sister).

* FanNickname: The female Hawke is called "Lady Hawke" by the fanbase. "[[PunnyName Mike]]" is a favorite name for Male Hawke, for some reason...



* BuxomIsBetter: A screenshot of Hawke and Bethany shows that, at the very least, Hawke's sister adheres to this trope. A recent post by one of the developers points out the [[UnreliableNarrator Unreliable Narrator]], hinting he might be [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean exaggerating other aspects]] about Bethany and Hawke, besides their badassery.

The Chick does not mean any female character. It is a particular archetype amongst a Five Man Band of the character who is the emotional core of the team. Nor is Hawke The Hero that we know if, because we don\'t know of any Five Man Band. If the five archetypes of the Band don\'t exist, neither does the trope.
