Elia Lavellan (romance: Solas)

Elia is not much of a flirt. She expresses her interest (romantic or platonic) by listening carefully and asking thoughtful questions. For Solas specifically, if the Fade Kiss™ hadn’t happened, she would have eventually just told him she liked him with no guile whatsoever. 

Arya Lavellan (romance: Blackwall)

Arya is my Smooth Operator™. She is an excellent flirt. She could charm the pants off of anyone. She uses all the tricks: subtle but sexy body language, coy facial expressions, subtle (or not-so-subtle) flattery, touching, you name it. In Blackwall’s case, ARYA USED FLIRTING AND IT WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE. He was dead in the water from her very first smile. 

Athera Lavellan (romance: Abelas)

Athera is a sweet-natured goof. She cracks jokes like a fiend, but she gets flustered around people she has a crush on, especially when said person is a cranky ancient Sentinel. She’s the definition of adorkable.

Rynne Hawke (romance: Fenris)

Hawke has no chill and no filter. Her approach to wooing Fenris is basically to proposition him so outrageously and so frequently that he’ll eventually give in. She’s joking half the time, though, of course! (Or is she?) She flirts with everyone this way. (But she means it with Fenris.) Wait, what?

Yes, she’s confused too. And so is Fenris.

Bonus: Nil (Horizon Zero Dawn)

Obviously Nil isn’t my OC, but I’ve written so much about him that I kind of see him as one? Anyway, Nil essentially flirts by just flat-out telling Aloy that he likes her and why he likes her, often in his own special way that I like to call “bloody poetry” lol. He doesn’t play games because he doesn’t know how or see the purpose of them. Once they’re in an established relationship he flirts with Aloy/gets her attention when she’s busy by playfully teasing her.
