Bioware did it.

 

Anyway, I guess that fits. I've been mulling over Sera a lot these past couple of days. At first I thought she could have been a reincarnated god, but at the same time it'd be an overload on the plate that she already has. I wrote up a huge post earlier in another thread about all the weird things she has going for her, haha.

 

I'm actually kind of curious as to what you guys think; apparently Vivienne's aware of some of Sera's past, if the banter is anything to go by, which is kind of funny because the spymaster and the ambassador found lickety squat on her. Makes you kind of wonder how Vivienne has a hold of that sort of information to begin with, given that all the information we do have comes from the horses mouth, and goddamn it, why can't we ask her about it? whyisthatnotanoption.

 

 

Ok, not a troll. Sorry. Gotta be careful when it comes to that in a fan thread of one of the more hated characters.

Cat, I actually found Tarots at home.

 

I can't see people falling, or her being close to an edge. Or a dog/whatever that is on The Fool.

 

 

Yeah, but Sera's very fascinated by Dragons.

 

Gotta say, I'm quite a bit like her. Some High Dragons, I just watched from a distance for several minutes before comitting to a fight.

Look at her feet. The ground is going down into nothing. It could be the edge of a precipice.

 

It doesn't have to be an exact match. Besides, what if she is the Fool? The card doesn't signify stupidty.

Fool Tarot Card Meanings Keywords

Upright: Beginnings, innocence, spontaneity, a free spirit

Reversed: Naivety, foolishness, recklessness, risk-taking

Seems pretty accurate.

Alright, Cat. You win. This time....

Dragons are awesome, just throwing that out there.

 

Wait, The Fool?

 

Fool is an old word that seems to have lost a lot of its nuance, and the cards have their own meanings. It isn't necessarily negative, at least in this context.

 

Sera

 

She always holds her bow in the most interesting ways.

Isn't The Tower impending disaster as well? I mean, that might fit an elf romance, but otherwise...

Are you a follower of Sera!? Do you promise to spread the Word of Sera across all four corners of the BSN!? Do you swear to uphold all the Laws of Sera, now unto death and beyond!? Do you agree that Sera is the One True God!? Do you... okay, I'll stop now...

Sera's sort of my favorite character out of every character in DA (I blame the amount of intrigue that surrounds her; its hard to take her at face value when there's a ton of weird **** happening around her). I wouldn't troll about such things anyway, it's hard enough to discern tarot cards as it is (at least for me).

Innocence... unlikely. The other ones... most definitely.

Innocence can also mean a lack of experience. That would fit.

Also, my own research:

 

The Hanged Man supposedly signifies sacrifice of sorts... "Future progress possible at the cost of sacrificing things important until now"

That fits Elf Romance pretty well, but it might also foreshadow the fact that Sera ceases to be a Red Jenny...?

 

Star: Hope, fate,light in the dark, something will give and important impulse for future life...

 

I'm still not convinced the "Arrow between legs" is actually Star, though.

Yes, I am. Yes, I promise that so shall I do. Yes, I swear that the laws uphold I shall. Yes, I hereby swear my life into the service of the Seranade.

Good point. I'm just being careful. Sometimes, it's a good thing.

Always great to see others who like her. And who are willing to speculate about her...

So what is up with this theory on Sera being Andruil? Where did it come from exactly?

It's because Sera's attitude has striking similarities to Solas', doesn't remember having parents, and is gifted with a bow, and dragons. Also, the symbols for Andruil are similar to the symbols found on her tarot.

 

A nice theory, but a lot of the evidence can just be taken as meta-hints that Sera's not entirely away from her culture as she'd like to think.

 

EDIT: Allow me to rephrase: She's not away from elven culture as she'd like to think.

They are interesting parallels , but what about her dislike of her own kind?

The game sonly been out for just less than 2 months :P

According to Solas, Andruil hunted her own kind for sport.

 

So uh.

 

On the other hand, Iron Bull and Sera's banter suggests that Sera doesn't enjoy killing things and doesn't think too deep on it.

I *think* it originated on Tumblr and was likely inspired by the Solas theory of a similar idea.

 

It's interesting and deeper than you'd think, but I have a feeling it's just one of those instances where us eager fans are reading too much into things.

But it all fits together perfectly. Like a jigsaw puzzle.

After Mass Effect and the brilliant theories some thought up, of which NONE turned out to be real, I'm a little more careful when it comes to expectations based on fan speculation, no matter how authentic.

 

Call me dull :P

I have a difficult time getting into the theories as I still remember the theory that will have no name in this post after the ME3 ending disaster. People want to believe that there is more to things or people than what they are given, I'm not saying that any or all of it can't be true but I can't put much stock in it myself.

Sera was made to be a character that's hated by many, someone that can be thrown out at any time and with no importance to the story at all but you know I still love her character even with her flaws and lack of importance. She is by far the most exciting and vibrant character in the game, of course that's only my opinion.

As someone that grew up with self worth issues I would love to have a character that I identify with be more liked and involved in the story or have another character that I identify with be less killable but I guess that's the way it goes.

What about R+L=J?  :huh: Totally nothing to with Dragon Age or BioWare in general but what's your take on it?
