Will we have at least one cute woman companion in DA4?

Have we ever had a Dragon Age companion that doesn't have combat barks about how exciting combat is and/or how fun it is to kill whatever it is you're currently stabbing and/or setting on fire? That seems like a pretty high bar if nobody in our party over the course of three games and an expansion ever clears it.

Anyway, I think we'll probably see Harding AND Charter AND Calpernia in DA4. My bet is on Harding for crossover companion and Carver for advisor/faction leader/quest giver after she takes over as Inquisition spymaster for Leliana. Calpernia could easily be a companion, but they could also go the faction leader route with her. If Maevaris is our companion then they might not want two female mages from Tevinter in the party, so I can see one of them being a companion and the other an NPC.

Whatever happens, we're going to get a group with wildly varying concepts of morality and levels of niceness, because we always do. One of the rolls of the party is to present us with a variety of world views. If they all agreed it would be a tea party instead.

But for which faction? The Venatori are finished after Corypheus death.

Mae and Calpernia are like Wynne and Morrigan before different enough to be two possible DA 4 partymember.

Yes both are two female Tevinter mages but Mae is a noble Magistra and has moderate ideas in reforming Tevinter

while Calpernia is a former Slave who served the last game antagonist Corypheus for the racial goal to rebuild Tevinter and free all the slaves.

Maybe my memory is wrong but i think that Mae doesn´t mind the slaves and own even one or two slaves.

To your point that Mae could just a (major) NPC my question is what possible purpose in DA 4 could Mae have then?
Especially with Dorians role in DA 4.  It seems highly unlikely that both Dorian and Mae play a similiar role as faction leader.

Therefore i believe that Dorian will be the faction leader of the Lucerni faction and Mae a partymember.

Just like with Leliana and Cassandra in DAI before.

By the way are Qunari women "cute? Because a new female Qunari partymember doesn´t seen that far-fetched.

Maybe Bioware can reuse the idea of Valo-Kas leader Shokrakar? A qunari rebel?

"Shokrakar is a female qunari who spent her life rebelling against the dictates of the Qun, and finally escaped. She was always too aggressive and too opinionated to fit the Qunari´s idea of proper female behavior, and rebelled repeatedly against every profession and part of society the priests tried to force her into. Her name literally means ;rebel, in qunari. She bears hefty emotional and physical scars from years of enduring re-education camps, but is triumphant about having gained her freedom. She is forthright, confident and impossible to intimidate. Visually, she should show the scars of her background, but have a relaxed, open demeanor, since she has finally achieved everything she was fighting for"

Isn´t Rasaan supposed to be the new Ariqun? If so that high rang makes her very unlikely to impossible to appear as DA 4 partymember.

But i still think that she is in DA 4. She is one of the more prominent Qunari who always lives in all possible world states.

I'm going to quote Cole here.

"You couldn't help the bandits. Some people have to die. Being happy for your skill doesn't make you cruel. "

These mages and templars were on a killing spree and wanted to kill everyone who isn´t a mage or templar. So its totally unterstandable that she is smiling here

because the civilians with Mother Geselle are safe. Or maybe she is just proud that in her archery skills.
