#she thinks blackwall will pull punches and cass is grating to train with so the iron bull it is

[martyrmarked]

while she's at least capable enough to count as an asset rather than a liability in a fight, sidri is just not a fighter at the start of inquisition. she's decent with a shortbow thanks to childhood lessons but, after deciding the inner circle has plenty of people more than capable with varying types of bows fairly on into the game, begins to train with daggers. it allows her to use her left hand more freely when dealing with rifts, as opposed to a two handed weapon or something heavier/bulkier, as well as increased mobility and agility.

she trains regularly with bull and, for about the first quarter of the game, regularly wakes up with screaming muscles and has a smattering of bruises along her arms and torso. with time, she regularly uses sleeping powder or caltrops to stall or otherwise debuff enemies to aid the party.
