If Velanna is not recruited...

The Warden-Commander refused an alliance and killed Velanna, believing her crimes too great to go unpunished.

If Velanna is recruited...

However, the Warden-Commander discovered that darkspawn were to blame for Velanna's sister's disappearance. Hoping to rescue her sister, Velanna offered to help the Warden-Commander destroy the darkspawn.

After Velanna undergoes the Joining:

Velanna was upset to discover that her sister, Seranni, was working willingly with the Architect. She pledged herself to the Grey Wardens and survived the Joining.

After completing the quest Velanna's Exile:

An encounter with Velanna's former clanmate Marren revealed that the clan had cast Velanna out and denounced her anti-human crusade.

If Velanna's approval is over 25...

Velanna is fond of the color green as well as items that remind her of elven culture and nature.

If Velanna's approval falls too low...

But Velanna grew impatient with the Warden-Commander and left the Grey Wardens.

If Velanna is brought along to Drake's Fall...

Seranni reappeared as the Grey Wardens were making their way through the Mother's lair and explained how the Architect has convinced her of the similarities between the darkspawn and the Dalish. Seranni's passion may have swayed Velanna's feelings.

If the Warden-Commander leaves Velanna at Vigil's Keep without sufficient upgrades...

Velanna likely perished in the second darkspawn assault on Vigil's Keep.
