"She gave her life not because she'd sworn an oath, or had been marked as special, but because someone had to do it."
- Inquisitor Éirinn Lavellan about Andrea Hawke's death
Andrea Hawke was a human warrior, also known as the Champion of Kirkwall. She was the daugther of Leandra Amell, and Malcolm Hawke, big sister to Bethany Hawke and Carver Hawke. She was born in Lothering, and considered herself a Fereldan, despite leaving for Kirkwall at the age of 24.
Overview
Physical Appearance
Andrea's appearance at the age of 24, when she escaped Lothering with her family
Andrea has a very distinctive appearance. She is tall and muscular for a woman, having broad shoulders and stronger arms mostly because she wields two handed heavy blades. She keeps her black hair middle-length, and tied in a low, loose pony tail. She has quite sharp features, which give an impression of intelligence, but also make her face a little less feminine - her forehad is large, she has an aristocratic nose, and a quite strong jawline.
Her eyes are very characteristic, often described as "impossibly blue". This was a trait very rare in the family, she obviously inherited it from her father's lineage - her iris is almost turquise, Anders once mentioned that the color is very resemblant of lyrium.
Andrea often wears heavy armor in fights, and enjoys comfortable, but often not really good looking clothes at home. She rarely wears any jewelery, and even than, only amulets, or some enchanted rings, that help her in the fight, and not make her uncomfortable.
Personality
Anders once mentions that jokes are Andrea's answer to everything - and that is true. However, her funny (and often unintentionally rude) personality is partly masking her inner struggles with grief, failures, losses... she takes every mistake really hard, and tries to keep cheerful, and inspiring, but it is, many times not easy. As a big sister, she has a very dual relationship with her siblings... Originally, she wasn't the defensive type. She enlisted to Cailan's army with Carver, and she fought together with Bethany. She felt her siblings could stand on their own - however, she took Carver's death really hard, especially, when her mother said it was her fault. During their years as mercenaries, she tried to keep Bethany away from the battles (that resulted in Andrea gaining much bigger name than her sister), but Bethany tried to convince her to let her take more active roles in battles. Andrea eventually gave in, and despite her original plans, took Bethany with her to the Deep Roads expedition. When she was corrupted, and had to join the Grey Wardens, Andrea never truly forgave herself, and when she lost her mother too, no one could convince her that it wasn't her fault. When the Wardens started to hear the calling, she immediately contacted Aveline, to take Bethany away from the danger... she couldn't bear the thought of losing the last living person of her family.
Andrea was always supporting the mages' rights, mostly because of her sister and father. She didn't born with magic, but she lived with mages most of her lives, and she could never imagine Bethany being corrupted by power... she believed that a supportive, loving, normal environment helps more in overcoming the hardships of being a mage, than being locked up in a tower. This was one of the main reasons Anders felt attracted to her... she was more understanding as a warrior than many of the mages. When she gave him a second chance, and they left Kirkwall together, even as fugitives, she tried to give the same support and help to Anders, hoping that it will prevent him from slipping again.
Andrea was always the kind of person to "take the leap" when the opportunity presented itself. This was an advice from Flemeth, when she met her... she didn't think of what she said, but strangely, she seemed to heed it. Some called her brave, some outward foolish for running into danger, simply because she felt like that's the right thing to do, or sacrificing everything for one shot, one chance to step forward. This was the trait, which, while made her a hero, in the end, led to her death... she charged Corypheus despite knowing that losing her would break her friends, and break Anders.
Talents and Skills
Andrea almost always fights with two-handed greatsword. She has very little skills with the sword and shield combination (despite taking some lessons from Aveline), but she is deadly with a two-handed weapon. She fights aggressively, with strong passion - although she is trained as a reaver, she rarely uses the abilities, that come with it, she focuses on the berserker style of fighting, and therefor she does a lot of damage relying on her anger and emotions.
