Leliana/Warden is a popular pairing of Leliana and The Warden from Dragon Age. It can be either femslash or het depending if players created a female or male Warden.
Canon
Leliana is an Orlesian bard who came to the village of Lothering to become a Lay Sister of the Chantry. In Dragon Age: Origins, Leliana is a possible companion and a romance option for a Warden of either gender. They first meet in Lothering and can go on to put an end to the Blight.
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, Leliana serves as the Inquisition's spymaster and as an advisor to the Inquisitor, while the Warden searches for a way to end The Calling. They continue their relationship in this time, should it have been established in Origins.
Fandom
As Leliana is a potential love interest for the Warden they are often paired together, although the pairing is typical more popular in femslash. This is likely because Leliana was the only female love interest a female Warden could pursue in game in Dragon Age: Origins.
