“Bad things should happen to bad people. We find someone not so bad, maybe he'll end up not so dead.”


Sera is an elven archer and companion in Dragon Age: Inquisition. She is a potential romance option for a female Inquisitor.

Background

Sera is impulsive and reactionary, taking delight in humbling the established authority she views as arrogant and selfish. For her, it's not about what's right, it's about what's right now. She sees actions taken for the 'greater good' as just an excuse to hurt others who don't deserve it simply because it's easier. She was a member of the enigmatic group of rogues known as the Friends of Red Jenny, yet the coming of the Breach terrified her.[1] Fortunately, Sera and her "friends" can be frightening, too, and if she needs to put an arrow through some baddies so regular people can sleep at night, so be it. Sera fights for those caught in the middle, but she also needs order restored. The world has to be normal so she can play.

Sera was orphaned as a child in Denerim and raised by humans, thus cementing a distinctly non-elven point of view and a disregard for elven culture in general.[2] However, her skills as a rogue and archer are self-trained, not taught by others.

After the Inquisitor meets with the Chantry and templars, an arrow with a message attached lands nearby, giving the locations of three satchels with instructions. Should the Inquisitor choose to follow these clues, resulting in confronting an Orlesian nobleman, who assumes that the Inquisition was targeting him. Then suddenly, Sera reveals herself and executes the noble with an arrow. She then introduces herself to the Inquisitor and offers to join the Inquisition to fight for those stuck in the middle of the chaos.


Personality and Relationships

Sera proves a very childish character, believing that conflicts in the world should be simple, that mages and templars should be "sat down" and told to stop fighting. She also voices her dislike for authority figures like Empress Celene, Grand Duke Gaspard and Briala for fighting while innocent people are endangered. Her relationship with almost every other character is tense, although for various reasons.

Despite being childish and naive, Sera swears a lot and is very fond of vulgar jokes, especially towards characters that find it disgusting (mostly Cassandra and Blackwall). Varric appears to be utterly unmoved by Sera's jokes, which she finds irritating; Iron Bull, however, is pleased by them.

Dislike for nobles is a reason to perform cruel jokes on Josephine (such as placing a full bucket over her door, and not always filled with water). If taken to the ball in the Winter Palace, she will officially introduce herself with imaginary surname composed of mentioning body parts, and take delight in the shock of the court.

Sera is afraid of Fade and everything connected to it; if taken to walk the Fade, she will have a panic attack, and go hysterical upon returning to Skyhold. For this reason, she also does not like Cole (calling him it instead of he).

Being raised by humans, Sera is distant from elven culture and is not thrilled by its legacy; it is implied that she would prefer elves being assimilated into human culture instead of restoring the old ways of the People.

  • In early concept art and gameplay videos she was shown with much longer hair down to her shoulders.
