I disagree on both accounts, about the ugly personalities that is. They both do what they do for noble reasons. To protect their fellow man. Meredith especially seem to be driven out of love, for mages and all, whereas Petrice is to some extent animated by less admirable traits like fear and hate. Still I can but sympathise. We should assume she comes from the North and has a troubled past. It is suggested that she has experienced a qunari conversion wave and the horrors such a thing entails. If Hawke befriends her she can be encouraged to be less overzealous.
While Meredith is clearly unfit for her office she would no doubt have performed admirably given a subordinate position under someone stable. She deeply cares for and wants to protect the mages something that is much needed in the templar body where brutes like Ser Alric, with truly ugly personalities, seem to be all too common.
We must have played completely different games then. In my game she repeatedly breaks Chantry laws that are in place to protect mages, by turning mages Tranquil left and right even after the Harrowing and ignoring it when her templars abuse their charges. By act II she declares supporting apostates a hanging offense. By act III she wants every mage in the Gallows executed and when she fails to persuade the Grand Cleric to approve for a Right of Annullment she sends it to the Divine in Orlais instead.
I'm not sure how you can read 'love' into anything she does. There may have been a point where she was driven by a desire to protect, but that has long since been replaced by an intense hatred and fear of mages.

I adhere to the description of Meredith as an abusive but loving parent. Even in the end I think she kills the mages largely to spare them from what she feels is a fate worse than death, the one that her sister fell victim to, becoming abominations. Corruption has by then driven her to belive they are all bound for that.
I recommend this thread: Meredith: an analysis.

Cullen, natch. Only sane person in the game, and he's hawt.

Did you read the comment from the lead writer of the game (page 2)? Have you sided with the Templars and explored Meredith's dialogue doing so? Have you observed the sadness in her voice when she is asking for alternatives towards the end of the game? It seems to me she would like nothing more than to have one but her corruption doesn't allow her to see any.

Cassandra, Lady Elegant and Lilley.
Yes, the last two made a rather large impression on me despite being very minor characters.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried the end with the Templars?

It's not that bad.
Try everything, it's the best way to understand, not necessarily approve, but understand the characters, their views as a whole.
Unless if it's really impossible for you to be with the templars as well.
