Stop the idea that...
Fenris is quick to anger and is some sort of cruel, hate-filled - raging character that just despises everything
That Fenris hates affection - seriously, did you see that end game kiss?
Fenris hates every single mage he comes by with a burning passion - because he doesn’t. Listen to his banter with Bethany, especially in Mark Of The Assassin and Legacy.
Anders tormenting of him is justified or that Fenris is the one to provoke it. All I can say about that is: listen to their banter, listen to their inflections
Along the line of banter - Fenris only calls Anders an abomination once
Fenris is broody and perpetually pissed about everything - HE SMILES, LAUGHS, JOKES, and is kind to those who are kind to him.
That Fenris hates all of Hawke’s companions - he calls them ‘friends’ all the time (including Anders)
START SPREADING THE IDEA THAT
Fenris is a very calm, controlled character
Fenris is pretty open about his relationship with Hawke. He wears their crest, a ribbon, says “I am yours” when traveling around, openly shows his jealousy (especially in MOA)
Fenris and Anders got off on the wrong foot and they stayed on that foot. Nothing will change that - but just because he doesn’t get along with Anders doesn’t make him a monster.
Fenris is smart - smart enough to know when to hold his tongue and when to express his opinion. Honestly, he gives his opinion rather freely and does so with unflinching honesty
He is an abuse survivor and because of that he is still coping and may be easily triggered. He’s been hardened because of it.
Fenris is a polarizing character, and because of that, most people either love him or hate him - and that’s okay!
