Mage Warden starting out with impeccably clean Circle mage robes, maybe a few Chantry prayer beads around their neck or wrist. 

Once they fight in Ostagar, the robes are torn, burnt, and blood-stained. 

AND THEN Morrigan comes along with her wild swamp witch aesthetic and blows the Mage Warden’s mind. Mage Warden gathering feathers to stitch into their robes, trophies (belts, rings, maybe even teeth) from their many kills and making elaborate pieces of jewelry out of them, and adorning their fading, tattered Circle robes with wolf pelts. 

By the time the Mage Warden returns to the Circle, they look like a proper apostate.
