BioWare introduces us to Dragon Age II soldier Aveline Vallen

BioWare has posted a new character for Dragon Age II on the game's official website, and we've got the information on her posted below.

Her name is Aveline Vallen and she's a soldier, who is "a master of sword and shield, and a tireless guardian... to a point".

Here's what the website says about her:

The daughter of an exiled chevalier, Aveline is not the knight her father wished her to be. Although fully trained in chivalrous combat, she was raised in the shadow of a lost life and will not lose another for the sake of honor. Protecting her adopted home of Kirkwall becomes a chosen duty, not a privileged calling. The people she stands for will not be wasted on lost causes or protecting the foolish from themselves. Pride can be bandaged like any other wound—when threats are dead and everyone is safely home.

Previous character reveals include the dwarf Varric and pirate scourge Isabela.

Dragon Age II will be available on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on March 8 in the US and March 11 in Europe.
