Ok with a lot of talk about companions i was thinking about stuff you dont tend to see. like a Hulking woman. ( yeah i know Shale.) or a Drunken belching Elven female Oghran or a flirtatious pamperd male character.
what would you like to see?
I want a girl with zero personal hygene.
I thought Dorian was our flirtatious pampered male character. Or by flirtatious you mean to women only?
I really don't like hulking women. Reason I can't get into the latest Avatar series (loved TLA though).
What about a clean shaven dwarf? Nope, never-mind, got that covered.
How about a Qunari that liked cookies? 
If I wanted one added ... maybe a flirtatious pirate wench? Oh dang it. I'm really sucking at this.
Nope, I guess plain or boring is all I want.
Wait, you consider Korra to be a hulking woman?
Well yeah. Compare her to any of the guys she works with. She definitely has more muscle than any of them.

Bolin is actually pretty muscular due to being an Earthbender. More muscular than Korra.
Oh i know bioware are pretty good when is comes to characters im realy just asking what you would like to see.

On topic: I think any character, if well written, can be interesting, even if they're conforming to well worn tropes, but yeah, sometimes seeing something new, especially in a fantasy setting, is very welcome.
Sera cut her hair off with a knife, just saying, she doesn't seem to do hygiene that much... :-D

Granted. But Korra would definitely fit into the "non gender stereotipical" group.
I would say that Cass fits into this role also, though we have seen a few heavy armored females in DA before.
Have we seen a heavy armored female elf before? I don't recall one.
Female Elf berserker for the win.

HELL YEAH!

Not quite on the level of Oghren or "zero" hygiene, but Isabela seems to kind of be an example.
Agreed. Same writer too.
Dude its about anything you want to see that hasnt been done before.
I was really hoping this thread was going to be about trans/nonbinary companions, not "hurr what if a girl were strong?"
LOL I know. And I haven't watched The Legend of Korra, but the main character is all over tumblr, and she's basically a cute girl who knows magical martial arts. I had no idea that was "non-conforming."
I wonder if wearing pants and earning an income makes me a non-confirming female *snorts*
Female Elf berserker for the win.
Paedra in the Pearl in DA:O if you looked at the poster and fought
I want a Dwarven Mage... (Who is actually just a Warrior that hides a leprachun inside his pants who do the magic for him) He also suppose to throw kittens as a special weapon.
I'd like to see a woman like "Hammer" from Fable 2, someone who's built to look like a warrior rather than built to look sexy and then be given a sword. 
I would like to see a lot more variety in female characters in general. Let there be morbidly obese merchant women with 8 rings on each finger and a giant ruff type collar, women who are tall and bony and horse-faced, women who are old and wrinkled and bent over and actually look old (giving a hot young women light crows feet and grey hair does not make her old BW...), women who are heavily scarred the way Zaeed was, etc...In addition to the young, sexy, perfect model-featured women that already exist in games. I'd also like to see more characters of differing ethnicities. Vivienne is awesome and a great start, but I'd still like to see more non-white people to shake things up.

Not to be a downer, but this is a very steortypical trope http://tvtropes.org/...Main/BrawnHilda but I see your point. We already have several female tropes.
Sera http://tvtropes.org/...ain/ActionGirl
Cassandra http://tvtropes.org/...eanneDArchetype
Morrigan http://tvtropes.org/...adyOfBlackMagic
Isabella http://tvtropes.org/...Main/PirateGirl
Lelianna http://tvtropes.org/....php/Main/SheFu
Maybe not perfect fit. But you can very easily see the resemblence in the tropes. The same goes for the male charaters. Honestly. There are enough tropes to fit them all. one way or another. So Sterotypical? You mean "Women = Weak but agilie and smart and cute" and "Men = Strong, dumb, slow and focused" Well. We don't really have that in dragon age.

Yes to all of this especially the bolded
