Btw is it just me or is that bow situated somewhat suggestively between her legs in that tarot picture?
Not to be gutterminded or anything >_>

Sera's card looks similar to the Tower card:

 

seratarot.jpg    tower-tarot-card.jpg   the-tower-tarot-card.jpg

 

 

With Mars as its ruling planet, the Tower is a card about war, a war between the structures of lies and the lightning flash of truth. This is a card about anything we believe to be true, but later learn is false. This realization usually comes as a shock, hence, the violent image. It is, quite simply, that moment in any story where someone finds out a shocking truth, one that shatters their perceptions and makes them reassess their beliefs.

 

The Tower tarot card represents sudden change, a complete shift in thought-processes and values, shaking the pillars of perceived identity, and burning away all falsities which cling to the human character like a spiritual plague. The Tower exists as the material and psychological dependencies we construct and hide within in an attempt to form some sort of a living foundation, based entirely on old knowledge and social defences, strong, safe, and carefully built, but also restrictive and stagnant when held in residence for too long. In order to grow spiritually and emotionally the Tower must be destroyed, re-built with fresh, new ideas about the world around us, and upheld with a further experienced and strengthened moral fibre.

Huh. I'm a big Tarot buff and I can't figure it out. I'm wondering if it is the Chariot, and the way her hands are positioned are supposed to call back to that?

Sera does strike me as a character that could go for the Chariot or the Tower though, so who knows. Ack, I want the deck! But, money!!

Yurgh, I'm confused. I tried to search for discussions, but I got people saying that Sera must be the tower because Blackwell is the Chariot, which to me, he clearly is Judgment. 

 

I just...don't understand a Tower card without the tower shattering in some way though, haha. That's the most important symbolic part of it. I mean, not that DA has to follow that completely, but they've done such a good job of it so far, it confuses me.

 

So I wonder if she could be the Fool? It definitely looks more like that than any other card, imo....at least the posing of Sera (minus that pesky Tower) The only reason I wouldn't consider it for her is that I consider it the PC card, but I mean...that's just my Dragon Age tarot, I guess! And Sera would probably fit with that archetype. 

 

..is there a definitive statement on any of these yet? This is going to drive me nuts, lol.

I've been looking for a definitive statement and I can't find one either.

You might be right about her being the Fool, The Tower and The Fool are related apparently:

The Fool is related to every card! :) The Major Arcana is often read as the Fool's Journey from the material world to the spiritual world...each card representating a different person, station, or event he/she goes through.  It doesn't have to be, it can just be an archetype on its own, but that's why I sort of read it as the player's card: because it's the "hero" of the story. 

 

It's also a card that can symbolize someone young, impatient, naive, joyful, and present focused. So I can definitely see it for Sera.

Yeah, I'm kind of a tarot nerd. :P Which is why I've been so excited about their designs. Usually when companies do kind of promotional tarot stuff, they do really surface interpretations and boring art for it....but the DA folks seem to have thought about it a lot more, which is awesome!

Well, i don't know any major arcana cards with buildings on them other than the Tower.

And it kind of looks like a chantry building so maybe the shattering is more symbolic than literal.

Any tarot-proficients who can tell what card Sera's is?

 

Not a clue, I'm just gonna sit quietly in the corner whilst the rest of you guys try to figure it out.
