Isabela
Good looking rogues with a sharp tongue isn’t anything new for Bioware, and with Dragon Age 2, players got a pair of them. In addition to the expert storyteller Varric, there’s also a pirate captain who’s “equally skilled with dagger and insult, and it’s hard to know which cuts deeper.” We speak, of course, of the enchanting Isabella.
She shows up as a teacher for a specialization in Origins, but she makes a full-fledged appearance in the second game. Despite her status as a pirate captain, she’s not too fond of shipping people off to slavery, which eventually puts her in the same path as Hawke and company. Her lifestyle makes some of the best dialogue moments when wandering around with her as part of the party, especially with the more innocent of the lot like Merrill or Bethany. Sure, sometimes her pirate ways have a bad habit of blowing up in her face, and eventually yours, but can you hate her as she’s slowly corrupting your sister or flirting you up?
