Ru personally dislikes Sasha because she sees him as a very hedonistic and selfish person for not helping out the inquisition to pursue his own interests instead. She’s the type to feel that heroes have no retirement age, and that you have an obligation to save the world if it’s within your power. She felt similarly about Hawke to a lesser extent, right up until he sacrificed himself in the fade. Then it was all guilt and regret for the man. Overall, she likes reliable and disciplined people who can take charge, which is why Rook is her favorite. She sees him as her protégé. Though she does feel guilty having put the responsibilities of her mess onto him.

Sasha doesn’t dislike people unless they’ve personally offended him, so he has a pretty neutral to positive view on the other pcs. He doesn’t care as much for authority or leadership as Ru does but rather he respects raw power and feats; he’s kinda surface level like that. Ru is his good books for being a cool dragon slayer lol. He’s particularly impressed by Hawke’s work for the magi rebellion too. And Rook is his son, so even if Imekari fucked up and ended the world Sasha would love him regardless, even if he is a mediocre parent at best.

Hawke really just wants to separate himself from the whole heroes of Thedas business entirely. Like he respects it from a distance but is done with the whole ordeal. It’s part of why he’s so admiring of Sasha, who does whatever he wants really despite everyone’s expectation of him. He’s very impressed of Sasha’s lightheartedness and free spirit in general. Though Ru is the exact opposite of that, Hawke still approves of her because she reminds him of himself early in his career, but he also finds her somewhat forceful and intimidating. They have a very sibling like bond. Lastly, Hawke’s dislike of Rook is entirely personal and irrational; he blames him for Varric’s death.
