30 Days of DA: Least favorite character

So I thought that favorite character was going to be a hard decision to make, but that was nothing in comparison. This, the least favorite character, is nearly impossible, because I am largely invested in the series for the characters. Even the characters I expect I would dislike as people if I met them in real life, such as Loghain, are such fascinating, deep, well-realized characters that I have a hard time calling them a "least favorite". But I suppose I have to pick someone, and it would probably be unfair to pull out a secondary character such as Howe or Bhelen. So I considered the main party characters, and others on that level, and thought about the character I found the least interesting, the one I connected with the least, and came up with Velanna.

Maybe it's not fair to have high expectations for a character you only have in your party in a DLC, but Nathaniel and Sigrun are among my favorites, so I don't think it's too much. In comparison to most of the other companions, Velanna has always struck me as being a little bit one-note: defined by her temper and her quest for revenge, and not much else. Other characters are certainly angry and ill-tempered -- Morrigan and Fenris come to mind -- but that's not all they are, and both of them are developed beyond that. For me, Velanna is not. ( Cut for Awakening spoilers. )

Again, it's not that I hate Velanna, or even dislike her very much. But she could have been more, and I wish we'd seen her that way.
