I didn't like her. Just as Lady Hawke and Gamlen were starting to form a close bond since they were the only family either had left his daughter suddenly appears and it's all, screw you Hawke, I don't need you anymore.

[DarkSpiral]

I wouldn't be opposed to that. I'd also like an elven girl named Ametheyne, native to the Denerim Alienage, to be a companion possibility. She should be old enough to get involved in such things by the start of DA:I.

I'd love to have Charade back. From what little we saw of her she made a really positive impression on me, and I'd love to see her again as either an NPC or a fully fledged companion.

[Wulfram]

She didn't make much impact on me.

[Fast Jimmy]

The only thing I could see being a problem was that (I believe) her appearance morphed with Hawke. As in, if Hawke was fair skinned and red haired, she could be as well. Similar to your mom.

If that's the case, people might not recognize her in future games.

I would be willing to bet the team had plans for her in the Expansion, but these were scrapped when it was.

I remember her looking the same in all of my playthroughs and I had a fair amount of appearance variation in my hawkes, so I looked it up on the wiki and it said this:

Dragon Age Wiki...

Unlike the rest of Hawke's family members, her skin tone does not change to match them. This was heavily implied when Gamlen "thanks the Maker" that she got her mother looks.

I don't recall her hairstyle changing either, and none of the family's hair colour ever changed.

[DarkKnightHolmes]

No.

To be honest, I had to look the name up on the wiki to even know who Charade was... She just didn't make an impact on me at all. Of course, I could say the same about Merrill in DAO... And I ended up adoring her.

I wouldn't be opposed to it, though I expect that she'd get a bit of a redesign if she were added as a companion (nothing dramatic like Isabela but maybe something similar to Merrill or Anders though that might scare some of you). Obviously she could connect us to Dragon Age II, she doesn't have the chance to die (which is a huge advantage over other companion candidates) and her story is blank enough that she could be really fleshed out which is always a win in my book...not that my opinion matters

I just hope people realize that if they get her as a companion she could wind up completely different from their expectations similar to Anders and Merrill. The same with any fan favorite return. Sometimes the return of a companion is just...not what we wanted.

[CuriousArtemis]

Yes, I loved Charade. I thought she had her cousin's snarky wit. She inherited her scheming nature from her father, I suspect lol

She'd need a new hairstyle though.

 Wouldn`t hate it!

Thinking about it today, I think she would make a great companion.

1) She seemed fairly normal, which is certainly a good trait bearing in mind other companions we've had
2) She seemed quite good in combat
3) She provides a link back to Hawke
4) She can't be dead

So, what do you guys think? Her character development could be different if you never introduce her to gamlen or never met her.

I'm curious...what exactly is "fairly normal?" And how have previous companions not been that?

Seems to me that the hallmarks of an enjoyable or intriguing companion would run the gamut - from having a solid backstory, to being engaged in a cause (their own or the PC's), partaking of humorous or thought-provoking banter, etc. If Charade can boast any of that, then it might be interesting to see her as a companion. However, I think "normal" is really a subjective term, and none of the DA companions thus far have seemed abnormal in any way, imho.

[Amirit]

Can not say I was a big fan of her in DA2, but I do like the idea of her as a companion in DA3. She would connect the games, yet she did not had a big impact on the story, means she is open to any interpretation of the character.

And think of all the stories she could tell about Hawke! And reasons for travel and become an adventurer!

[mousestalker]

I would define fairly normal as someone unlikely to recruit friends to gather materials for making explosives and then using those explosives to blow up buildings containing much loved public figures. That's probably fairly rigid and uncaring, but there you are.

Ah, well then I take my reseverations back. I think she would be a very cool character to have, and maybe be an easy way to either bring a Hawke back or have previous DA2 companions or references brought into the fold in a way that makes sense.

Again, I think she was originally planned for the Expansion, but they said they did recycle lots of things from the Expack into DA3, so we shall see? I would not be upset.

What about amnesiac ex-slave with superpowers derived from magical experiments that leave their body covered in lyrium tattoos?

That's pretty normal.

[Sir George Parr]

At the point she is introduced into the story,i thought that Gamlen and Charade would basically fill the holes left by other characters and provide Hawke with some reason to stay in Kirkwall.She would be the ideal minor character to expand and flesh out as a companion and provide a link back to Hawke . A hair cut would be a good thing for her as well.

I don't see what Jack has to do with this conversation.

I just didn't find her very interesting. I mean she worked for what she was in DA2, a way to elaborate on Gamlen's history and personality. But I can't see myself enjoying her as a companion if the writers didn't add some majorly interesting aspects to her character. She was just rather bland in DA2... and her hairstyle and makeup didn't help either.

[Kidd]

It would be a nice throwback to Hawke for sure, yeah =)
