Moments with Sera

I am not sure how others felt about Sera as a character in Dragon Age:  Inquisition.  I would guess that some people hate her ridiculous weirdness and goofy sense of humor.  I, however, am loving Sera.  Her motivations are simple--if someone does bad stuff they deserve to have bad stuff happen to them.  It's her own version of karma and it's easy to understand.

There have been several really great interactions between Sera and my little ladies club that has become my go-to party.  Cassandra, Vivienne, and Sera have turned out to be quite entertaining.  Sera clearly annoys Vivienne and seems to enjoy it.  There have been two really funny exchanges between the two of them.  In one exchange Sera calls out to Vivienne to look at something and then Vivienne indicates that she's already seen Sera's "bony butt" before and she's clearly not impressed.  There's no actual nudity but it did make me laugh.  In another moment Sera informs Vivienne that she sent some "rabbit raisins" to one of her fancy Orlesian friends posing as Vivienne herself.  Vivienne plays it cool and tells Sera that the Duke thoroughly enjoyed them.  Sera comments with "ewww" and Vivienne explains that this Duke has a very unfavorable position and is lucky that all he received were Sera's little gifts.

Cassandra Pentaghast.  Non-wearer of underpants.
Cassandra is much more patient with Sera than Vivienne and has also been the focus of Sera's strange questions and exchanges.  At one point Sera starts listing colors--rose, robin's egg blue.  Cassandra takes the bait and asks what game Sera is playing.  Sera tells Cassandra she is trying to guess the color of her underpants.  Cassandra then calmly informs the group that she doesn't wear underpants much to Sera's chagrin..."you all heard that, right?"  The best Cassandra related moment so-far has been Sera asking her if she's ever punched a bear.  Cassandra seems boggled by this question and wonders why anyone would punch a bear...or ask such a silly question.

It is vaguely possible that the party banter bug was effecting my first playthrough of Dragon Age:  Inquisition because I have laughed a lot this time.  Maybe I just picked a better group of companions?  I am looking forward to more laughs courtesy of Sera.
