I never caught the banter about feeling like she’d seen things before. I liked Sera but never romanced or invested in her heavily. That said, I think the explanation may be a lot simpler than we realize. She’s leaning on the fourth wall, not breaking it entirely, but on some level she was written to be aware of her situation in the game. I won’t say that explains everything, but it seems an appropriate explanation for her deja vu moments.

I like Sera, really- yes I’ll be judged and loathed for saying this. I find her to be interesting, funny, endearing, and if you take a second to listen to her what she says has certain wisdom. Yes she’s still abrasive, immature, and even petty- however I believe her viewpoints to be valid in some respects.

I always thought Sera's idiosyncrasies is that she has magical talent, but has them deeply repressed, but they still subtly manifest.

I think Sera is wickedly clever. Flawed and often unreasonable? Yep. But not stupid. I love well-rounded characters.

Everytime I play DAI, I try to romance another character but I always fall back in love with Sera.

Idk how I feel about Sera being something more elf-y than she would like, but it's worth noting that Sera talks about the anchor with the almost EXACT language as Cole. She just does it in a less poetic manner, but one of the first things she says is "you glow" which no one other than solas or cole comment on the anchor being visible.

What really got me with Sera’s dialogue is after Adamant, if Stroud died she’d be like: “lost a serious mustache there” and I dunno how many times I’ve heard it but it still makes me giggle. 😂😂

I feel like Sera is a mage but represses it heavily for one reason to another and Solas noticed it immediately. It's possible Sera may be an insanely powerful mage like Solas and Flemeth

Theory: Sera is tall because she is an ancient elf that was forced to sleep like Solas at a very younge age. Because she didn't want to sleep she woke up early and obviously had no parents around to claim her because of this. She fears magic so much because she is secretly a dreamer who was constantly harassed by the demons she feared. After seeing a mage get mobbed and others being taken to the circle, she decided to hid her magic abilities by picking up a bow and posing as a Rougue. She is a tempest because it allows her to hide her magic when she slips up while guiding her arrows. And her ears point towards the fade because they are searching the magic that once use to cover thedas so she can stop hiding from the world

I heard a theory once that Sera's oddities have something to do with the small painted box because the First Enchanter must have kept it secure for a reason. This is the theory that I like best because I'm also really annoyed at the idea of her being associated with ancient elves but the oddities are too numerous to just discount.

I'll always love the moment when Sera begs the Inquisitor to stop hurting when the mark is killing them near the end of Trespasser, you could really feel how afraid she was that she might have had to watch us suffer and die.

Dwarfs get more approval from her than humans actually.

"I know of the spirit, trapped, unknowing, in your heart". How's that?

Some of Sera's behavior kind of makes me think of Kieran when he has the soul of an old god, what with the weird way she talks sometimes and how she seems to be able to sense things beyond herself. I wouldn't say she has an old god's soul in her too, but maybe she has a fade spirit of some kind for a soul.

Sera is one of the most IMPORTANT voices in Dragon Age Inquisition because she and Bull seem to be the only ones insisting you look at the individuals under your power rather than seeing them as little more than expendable cannon fodder. And even then, Bull still has some concept of The Greater Good that was drilled into him by the Qun. Whereas Sera has perspective of only what affects her, which may sound small minded to some, but really is important when it comes to leaders making decisions and treating individual deaths as "losses" and "attacks on their group" rather than as personal tragedies.

Weird idea for a theory I got at the end of the episode:

So- a story.

I never romanced Sera, I didn’t realize how sweet it is in a relationship! She’s so thoughtful 🥹 She really grew on me. I didn’t like her much at first but now she’s one of my favorite companions 😊

Just here to say I love Sera. I think she's a lot smarter and kinder than she lets on. Hard to romance because she has eyes on the back of her head and self respect. Love her.

I wonder if the translation of what Solas says to Sera could also mean something like "I realize I trapped your spirit with my song something something heart" and his song meaning, the Veil he brought up. Sera's weird memory loss and mind issues could imply she is actually another Evanuri - like Mythal - that wasn't pushed into the Fade (possibly because there wasn't much of her to push behind the Fade, like Mythal who was only a wisp at the time) and I like to point to Andruil, the Goddess of the Hunt. Andruil's choice of weapon is the bow, she had a relationship with a woman already (lesbian, bi maybe - since she wanted Solas to serve her in her bed...whatever that meant) and eventually Andruil went mad until Mythal sapped her strength (like Solas did with Mythal later) and stole Andruil's knowledge of how to find the Void (maybe took a little too much or that memory theft combined with the loss of power made her forget more and more over the centuries). I'm not saying Sera never dies, I am wondering if Andruil's spirit hops to different bodies or keeps reincarnating, unable to enter the Fade.
