As far as I know we get a male elf companion like we got in DAO, but not a female.  We also get another male dwarf, but no female.  I can live without a dwarven female, but why no elf?  C'mon Bioware, elven love interests are a staple of medieval fantasy tales. (I know we got Valenna in Awakening, but she wasn't a LI, and her personality was not very appealing IMO)  I am mostly asking this because I like a bit of variety in love interests.  I do not find Isabella appealing in the least, and Aveline is a recent widow(?).  

Keep in mind I am basing this off of the screenshot of Hawke wth several npcs standing behind him, who I assume are companions.  For all I know there could more companions that have yet to be shown/revealed.

As far as we all know not all companions have been announced, so yeah.

[Leonia]

Not all of the companions have been revealed yet.



Also, I dreamt a few nights ago that Fiona was a party member in DA 2. There's a female elven mage mage right there, if it was a premonition.

VELANNA WAS AWESOME

Meh I saw her as a crankier, less funny version of Morrigan.

I absolutely, 1000000000% disagree. If she never shows up again, I'll be soooo happy.

 While only part of the initial concept idea so there is no real proof toward going beyond that. I do hope the elf in the concept storyboard is at least used as influence for a female elf companion (if we do have one).

Well without knowing much about the character's backgrounds/personalities at all, I'll admit I'm a little disappointed by the fact that so far every character revealed has had something of an Origin's analogue to them:

Varric-Oghren - based on the fact they're both male dwarfs

Aveline-Leliana - based on the fact they're both affiliated with a major faction and Avaline could potentially be a LI

Isabela-Morrigan - based on the fact that they're both free-willed, 'feisty' LI's

Meg/Gunther-Zevran - based on the fact they're both male elves, and Meg may potentially be a LI

Bethany-Wynne - based on the fact that it would be 'icky' to romance either of them

I'm sure I'm probably late to the party on this buuuttt... is that a Grey Warden crest on the warrior's shield?

[Leonia]

Certainly looks like a Grey Warden shield to me. I doubt we'll have any GW party members in DA 2 though.

If sharing the species and gender is enough to deem character an analogue, the BioWare people have really painted themselves into a corner. I mean, between DAO and the Awakening they've already covered all possible combinations of these traits save for female qunari (which doesn't exist yet)

[Ortaya Alevli]

No female elf companion?

Heaven forbid, man. Heaven forbid, for goodness' sake.

Well, there IS concept art of a female qunari, after all...

In another one of these screenshots from the Developer's Diary video, you can see the dialogue wheel with one of the options: "What do you think, Warden" or something similar.

Aye; but Mary Kirby (if i recall right) confirmed there is no female qunari model made for DA2, since they opted for improving appearance/animations of females of other species instead.

I just feel that there needs to be a female elf as something of a middle ground between Isabella and Aveline (we don't even know if she is an LI yet).  If Isabella is the only female LI then I will be very disappointed.

What's with the shaven hair? & did she borrow Morrigan's shirt?

Coolness. I only watched the Dev Diary once so I missed that.

This is dark heroic fantasy. Its edgy. Go with it.

[Schneidend]

There's going to be, what, six companions? We've only seen three so far, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Dark Fantasy doesn't mean half-shaved heads.

I said, without knowing much about the character's personalities. It could very well be that several of these aren't accurate analogies, heck, I'm not even certain Meg is an elf.
But on a superficial level they do share some similarities. 
And it may be that we've seen a mix of all possible race/gender types but in the main two games --the ones that count-- we still haven't seen a female dwarf or a female elf. Besides the DLC/Awakening cast were far more shallow than the cast of Origins (and hopefully DA2).

Hmm... I seems my sarcasm has gone unnoticed. Perhaps I should have used the  emote at the end

And what's with the na'vi face, pray tell?

It may be Cassandra--she's Nevarran and IIRC their crest is a golden dragon.  It looks more like a gold dragon than a grey griffin to me.  (I could be completely mistaken.)

I'm hoping that Qunari is in, though.
