Which race/class do you believe is canon? (fun question)

I chose the female dalish Rift mage on my 1st playthrough, and it fits well indeed, but now I prefer a huntress. My mage was too much like a student in front of Solas, and it was harder to picture her as a military leader. I was disappointed that she wouldn't study herself the Mark and seems to know very few things about elven lore. I also wanted a character that would not follow the path of the Keepers, drawn to the past... she was too melancholic. So Tempest DW rogue is now my personal canon. A descendant of slaves, rising to power with a strong will of change, rejecting the past and its lies, fighting for more freedom and peace, brave in the melee, wild and terrifying in her coat of flames... and in the end, giving birth to a new world under the eye of the Dread Wolf.

My canon:
Male qunari warrior (2 handed; champion spec)
- Allied with mages and Wardens
- Hawke died in the Fade
- Morrigan drank from the well
- Romanced Dorian
What I think would be their canon:
Female Dalish mage (rift magic spec)
- Allied with mages and Wardens
- Stroud died in the Fade
- Inquisitor drank from the well
- Romanced Solas
To me, that one is the "best" story from a canon perspective.

Both of the Bioware "canon" characters romanced no one, so they're not going to do Female Elf just because of a romance option.
Personally, I'd say that a non-mage human of either gender fits within the story the best, but they might pick a dwarf rogue or something just be contrary.

Maybe an elf rogue. They kind of taking the preference, and since the warden was an elf warrior, I guess they need an different class.

I find it hilarious that Thedas fears mages while Sera, Varric and a Rogue quizzy go around murdering the biggest, baddest things that Thedas has to offer in seconds.

Either a Dalish Female Mage, or a male warrior Dwarf with a deep belief in the Chantry.

Plus, their go-to race/gender/class in the demos was a female qunari mage.

Qunari Mage. Aside form the fact that Qunari rock as mages, it makes a great headcannon as to why your parents, or at least the people that raised you outside the Qun left Qunadar. Tamassran fell in love with a sten, she got pregnant and, had birthed two serrabas before so was worried this one would be as well and, she and her sten wanted to be together so, they fled Qunadar. about six months later, the mage child was born.
A mage just makes sense, any other class would be freaked out by the anchor, and need a lot more time and practice to learn to wield it than the game allows so, it works best for me as a mage.

My Canon is a Human Female Mage/Rogue that drinks from the Well, and sides with the Mages. I need to play through as something that sides with the Templar's, but I can't bring myself to yet. I've sided with mages since DAO and DAI doesn't really give you any compelling reasons to choose other wise

Personally, I don't care much for the default worldstates, I don't plan on using them.
I suppose they will go with human though, not sure about the class.
Any kind of Rogue, just for teh lulz.
I find it hilarious that Thedas fears mages while Sera, Varric and a Rogue quizzy go around murdering the biggest, baddest things that Thedas has to offer in seconds.
While I enjoyed my circle mage playthrough, Rogues are so fun to play (and so OP!!!).

Has Bioware ever had a romance for their canon characters, because that seems like the key point in a lot of people's belief that it's a female elf.
Nope. Both their Hawke and Mahariel romanced no one. It's just a bunch of Solas girls grasping at straws.

For all games I'd assume the canon would be mages considering their importance.
In DA:O they've established it as a dalish based on defaults. I always felt a female mage who romanced Alistair was the most fitting canon but they made them Dalish it seems.
In DA2 I figured it would be a male Hawke who romanced Isabela given the trailer.
In DA:I... Story-wise... it would seem a Dalish female who romanced Solas honestly. The romance is the only way to get some real hints towards the twist at the end with him. Problem is only 1/8 characters on average can even attempt that romance. Elves have so much unique dialogue and seem to have a role of overshadowing importance in DA:I (Flemeth, Solas' helping the elves, etc.)

Qunari rogue because I liked my Qunari rogue. He was grey but had bad hair.

Female Vashoth Mage(Rift, I hope) Inquisitor seems to make sense, in part because it's the last thing anyone would expect the "Herald of Andraste" to be. Also poses some very intriguing potential plotwise if they will be focusing on the war between Tevinter and the Qun.
I have a canon for each race and gender I'm compiling. So far, female qunquisitor mortalitasi is one, and the other is a male qunari Reaver. The first romanced Sera; the latter IB.

I'd say either Human or Elf. The Qunari and Dwarf races just felt too out of place, especially if you consider the very human and elf centred plots in both the main quest and the side quests of inquisition. But if you look at the image on the game cover you see a human, male warrior... This same human, male warrior appears in most trailers as well... If I was to guess I'd say that this is the Bioware intended canon. Somehow it seems like it would be the most appropriate, seeing how the biggest audience for video games are probably the straight males, and how being a warrior seems like the most obvious option for a hero (even though my two playthroughs were both female, one a human Mage and the other a Dalish rogue...). I think the default world save for DA4 will confirm who the canon inquisitor is. The default world save for DA:I had a male Mage Hawke and a female (dead) Warden.
I wouldn't take promotional images as a reflection of what they consider "canon". A Dalish elf was the established canon for DA:O's Warden, even though a human warden is what they portrayed.
