She's a half-elf. But that is also one of the reasons I created this topic. Both Astarion and Shadowheart lean towards evil and have 'edgy' backgrounds.
As Slippery Catfish mentioned above, elves lean heavily towards chaotic good. I found it odd that both Origin characters with elf blood share that in common, having a more traditional option in between would have been really nice.

I wouldn't really care, if Origin characters wouldn't have the advantage of a richer experience in comparison to custom created characters.



Kinda agree there.
From what I've seen so far of the companions, only the human mages seems OK/interesting to me.
The evil gay vampire interests me not, the elf gives me a edgy try hard vibe, which I hope I'm wrong about, since she the only female companion that looks decent.
