Canon Grey Wardens
I've heard some people refer to their "canon" Wardens, out of all their various incarnations. Closing in on the end of my second playthrough (f!Surana blood mage), I'm interested to hear about other people's experiences. Do you have a canon Warden, is it the first one you played, and what sort of Warden were they?
I haven't played all the origins yet, but from the hints in the game and from other people's stories, I can already see myself developing elaborate "canon" versions of each origin, separate and different from how my game might have turned out. See, I make a lot of choices that are specifically to experience parts of the game I haven't played yet, and also to unlock achievements. But, what I play is not necessarily what makes most sense to me from a characterization POV.
That's part of the reason I picked Surana for my second game, because she's kind of a wild card in my eyes. Maybe I put too much stress on characters being a product of their upbringing, though.
Anyway, everyone loves talking about their characters, and I'd love to hear your stories.

Branwen Cousland is very much a noblesse oblige kind of girl, doing the right thing, even if it's hard. Like breaking things off with Alistair because the chance of two Wardens being able to have a child are minuscule. And an heir to the throne is very important, so she ended things with him and had him marry Anora (it's implied that it wasn't her fault that she didn't get pregnant - Cailan seems to have been shooting blanks, since he's had lots of lovers but no bastards). She's usually dignified and serious, but deep down she's very playful and somewhat mischievous.
Ceridwen is pleasant and placid on the outside, but pretty driven on the inside. She's had a harsh time growing up in the Circle, and her sweet-mannered-maiden routine is just a mask. Other than Branwen she doesn't form deep connections to the people around her - she makes sure that she's liked well enough, but she doesn't really let people in. She doesn't like violence, so she usually talks people into submission. Nice and helpful she may be (with a soft spot for small, fuzzy things and children), but don't get on her bad side. She's got a quick, devious mind, and when the gloves come off she can be pretty ruthless. As Irving found out the hard way in my fanfic ^^
