It is. I'm learning that of all the people I have met from my home that have come to the fleet - The Hero of Ferelden - Riona as you know her - Hawke and The Inquisitor all vary and yet for the most part those like myself, Fenris, Varric, Anders, and various others remain the same. The Hero I knew was Riona but there are others who have differing accounts, just as the Hawke I knew was not Adawolfe Hawke but Marian instead. My friend Inquisitor Trevelyen was also not an elf and I was told that there was an elf that went by the name of Jove and was given the title of Inquisitor where Cole is from.

[Honestly it makes her pinch the bridge of her nose a bit, staving off a headache. Tl;dr everyone's the same except the Warden, Hawke, and the Inquisitor and only Atroma - or probably the Maker - knew why.]
