Hawke does not have any supernatural abilities of her own.
She does however have a dog. He has an exceptionally good sense of smell and a habit of identifying/nicknaming people based on what they smell like/personality traits/whatever seems a good idea to him at the time (these names periodically change as the dominant characteristic he associates with them changes). Also he's very intelligent for a canine (moreso than he acts) and capable of identifying if you are not exactly human/able to use magic (which has a scent)/etc. If you'd like to tell him what your character smells like or characteristics that a very clever dog might pick up on, that'd be helpful and perhaps useful for comedy or plot later on. (it will not be a very exciting name; he's a dog, he has a limited vocabulary no matter how smart he is)
Don't worry, he can't talk. Though he may find other ways of indicating to Hawke that something is Odd.

I'm a terrible person sometimes. I played a lot more attention to DA and Origins than I have to DA2, although the party banter is so much fun in DA2. My favorite is Varric and Merrill and the ball of twine, I think. (When I cosplay Merrill, I always carry a ball of twine in my bag, for authenticity.)
He... what? Seriously? O_O

And yep, I kid you not. I was nearly dead and just started using every useless item I had so I could do something while I died. I clicked on Pounce, and he brought everyone back from the dead. I nearly died again because I was so busying going "WTF?!?!?!", but I looked it up on the internet later and yep, he does that. For no reason except that the game creators thought it'd be neat, I guess!

I will be revamping Merrill this year, if I get around to it before con. XD I shall share pics if I do.
OMG that's the best thing ever. I don't even know. I KNEW he was useful!!

Anyone who comments can get run over by Jack and the dog, then Hawke can make friends by apologizing! I do love joint posts~ XD (I suppose Jack might be convinced into apologizing, too... once he gets his staff back)
Well, all cats are sneaky. It's like, by definition.
