I'm at a loss. I've spent 40 hours with trash characters, recently. I've deleted every one.
Any advice?
I want to play a
Female
Human
Warrior
Any suggestions to make the long experience more fun?
Any role-playing suggestions to spice up my game life?

What exactly is the problem you're having?
Do you mean you are gimping the character builds?
Your title suggests it's more role-play advice you're after. In which case, how about an all-warrior party? That was a fun playthrough of mine. Headcanon a warden who dreams of glorious, crusader-like battles and cannot stand magic or dishonourable, sneaky tactics. Gave me a whole new respect for the power of the warrior class.
Or you could dismiss/kill/not recruit every optional companion (apart from Dog, perhaps) and have it just the two wardens, you and Alistair (and their dog?) fighting their way through Ferelden on their mission. That gives a new feel - especially if you're romancing him.
Or how about a very religious character, who initially sees her quest as a holy mission to save Ferelden - with one interesting twist: she actually accepts the dogma of the cultists in the Sacred Ashes quest! Maybe the dragon really is the glorious, risen Andraste reborn, and by defiling the ashes and taking her power as Reaver, you are officially Her holy champion, ready to defend Ferelden in Her name.
Just a few ideas.

You want to play a female human warrior? No wonder you're bored! You're playing a human noble!
Your first step to spicing up your game life is to ditch the boring human noble and pick an origin that's fun and interesting.
If you're partial to the warrior, that leaves out the mage origin. However, that still leaves four others to choose from. The dwarven origins are both excellent, in my opinion. They have a lot of passion, intrigue, betrayal, drama, and roleplay fodder for when they set out to the surface. The elven origins are also great, but I'm partial to the city elf. Among other things, the City Elf has just as much, if not more origin-specific content for the Landsmeet as the Human noble, since you're returning to your home city, get to see your family again, and get to run through your family's killers and slave-traders with a sword. You even get a personal reason to defeat Howe!
Probably not the answer you were looking for, but it's the best one I have based on what little information you've given me, OP. (I'm only being half-serious here, people.)

I spice up the role play by the mods nude bodies & no armor hack,
and then i play elf female and envision these mysterious creatures are one with nature
and thus nude is the natural state for them

What parts of the 'trash characters' appealed to you? What do you like to do in a game? What do you not like?
Faerunner's suggestion about trying the other origins is a good one but absent any idea of what you like, we're shooting in the dark.
You're probably playing on an xbox (as that is what your one registered game is for). But, if you are playing a PC, you might trying modding it up to enhance your immersion.

If the role-playing is boring for you, are you just repeating the archtype(s) that the Human Origin lends itself to? Like Ferretinabun suggested, Step One may be walking away from the honorable, dutiful scion of a great noble house. (I'd also avoid its reverse, the free-spirited, 'I never wanted the responsibility' wild child.)
A strong opinion on something that's relevant to the game can push you to pick different choices. Maybe she thinks magic is a curse, believes that elves are naturally weaker (physically, mentally, morally), or that Couslands are just better than everyone. Keep those things in mind when you talk to your companions and go on quests and see if your game takes a new direction.
Take a few minutes to think about who else in the game she knows. Was she best friends with Anora as a child? Did she dream about stealing Cailan away from her and becoming queen? Did she idolize Queen Rowan (and if so, how does she feel about her brothers Eamon and Teagan)? Or is the Arl of Redcliffe a growing threat to the Crown the Couslands serve? She was probably raised on stories of the Hero of River Dane - does that change what she's willing to believe about Loghain?
Considering being political, or even ambitious.
OR
Mostly ignore the Origin and substitute a different backstory. Instead of being Pup Cousland, you're Ser Pup, one of the knights or even a common solider serving at Highever. In the chaos of the Howe attack, you find the teyrna and protect her until she decides to stay with the teyrn - you escape with Duncan and go from there. Avoid the dialogue choices that make a big deal out of your being a Cousland, and you can try your hand at a DIY Commoner Origin. (And you can still want Howe dead for killing all your fellow soldiers and oppressing your Commoner family in Highever.)

Strength build her, or play her as warrior archer.
