* Some of her dialogues with Zevran are also kind of flirtatious, such as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZVgRgwQCkg&feature=related one] where Hardened Leliana dares him to remove his pants in front of her to "disprove some myths about elven men" before she'll "consider a tumble." In [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX_hCSEfLEk another] a Warden of either gender who is romancing Zevran can ask her if she's been watching him, which nets a flustered response. The Warden can then tell her, "He's been claimed. My apologies."

* Some of her dialogue indicates that Leliana does not believe [[If It's You It's Okay]] is a valid foundation for a long-term emotional and physical relationship. (The only kind that she's interested in.) If a male Warden cheats on her with Zevran and then chooses certain dialogue options, she'll say, "You don't have to deny it. I always thought there was something missing between us. Now I know what that is," and break off the relationship. That indicates to me that she does not think that a heterosexual relationship between herself and a predominantly homosexual man would work, even if they liked each other. She ''might'' have just meant that "it" was that there was "someone else" in the picture, but the context that she said it in raises eyebrows—and she does ''not'' say the same thing to a female Warden who breaks up with her in the same manner by sleeping with Zevran. (Instead she says, "I think I [[Mistaken for Gay|made a mistake]] about you. It's not your fault, I'm sorry. Let's just put this behind us?") I have to wonder why she would think a relationship between herself and a straight male Warden would work if she was entirely homosexual herself.

* Remember that Leliana's primary character trait is ''devotion''. If she's in love with you she's not going to show any attraction to ''anyone'' else, regardless of gender.


=== Sten's stoicism has nothing to do with him being Qunari or his natural character, but is a symptom of the cultural alienation resulting from his exile in Ferelden. ===
