Description Dragon Age II will never let me go away.
Mostly because of her.

Greatly inspired by wonderful works of amazing artist Pheberoni

You really captured the fierceness of her default appearance ^_^. Default!Lady Hawke the Warrior is best Hawke in my opinion.

Thank you! 
I'm happy if I managed to catch this 'fierce' feeling of her.
I do love all the Hawkes! *____*
But my favourite is Default!Lady Hawke as Mage. I just love mages way too much. (:
(Also, this one is Mage!Hawke though it may not be obvious when you can see only her face  ^.^')

You're welcome ^_^.

I dislike Mage!Hawke in general due to meaning Bethany's death (I wish you could chose who lives, as with Kaiden and Ashley). Not only does the Mage!Hawke story mean that mean your mother is fridge'd, but your sister too, so it’s a double whammy of tired, sexist trope. And in a sexist way too (she cannot defeat a creature that her brothers/brother and sister can). If people wanted to play a mage that badly, they had Bethany’s story, which is far more compelling than that of Carver and Mage!Hawke anyway. And once Bethany (sadly) left, the player still has Anders, then Merril and Anders. You can even play your preferred style - the former if you want all offence, and the latter for a mixture or just healing.
Not to mention, of all the classes, they chose the one where the sister dies (granted, people did not know at first), and of course, that same class is the one in the trailer, and male mage Hawke, the most sexist and cliché of the stories, is the default (and the one in the trailer, then again, it is almost always the male protagonist in trailers anyway). And with female mage Hawke, it plays into the Guys Smash Girls Shoot dynamic (with Carver) that is shown through the twins (though with the Aveline being one of the few female warriors in the series, it does not bother me as much as other examples, such as the first game).
I do love Mage!Hawke's Companion armour, though (and I did, I noticed the fur peaking up).
