Also throwing Bianca Davri on the list.
She's ten times the smith Branka was, she's a better marksman than Varric, she's completely invaluable to the merchant's guild, she's the one who figured out red lyrium was blighted, she's snarky, she's tough enough to threaten to feed the inquisitor their own eyeballs with no repercussions at all.
Bioware did everything short of having a neon sign appear over this woman's head that read "OMG, GUYS, ISN'T SHE AWESOME?! CAN'T YOU SEE WHY VARRIC CAN NEVER LOVE YOU WHEN SHE IS SO PERFECT?! EVEN HER FUCKUPS HELP YOU OUT! FOR SERIOUS, GUYS, SHE'S AMAZING!"
Seriously, I'm not even a varricmancer and I found that **** to be laid on way too thick.
Oh, and to top it all off, her plotline has no resolution to it.
