Line 792:
* [[Informed Ability]]: She is supposed to be a skilled storyteller, but her storytelling skills really don't rise above the rest of the cast. Also by her accounts, the smooth talking, courtly-connivers seem to be stock in trade and a survival necessity for Orlesian bards. Yet her repartee is less evident than her loss of words; she's often flustered and easily embarrassed. Perhaps it's because she's less articulate in Fereldan, and therefore stumbles for correct phrasing, or perhaps her lack of verbal sparring explains the cause of her exile from Orlais.
** And if the Warden sleeps around on her, she comes off as painfully naive and easily lied to.
** In hindsight from DA3, its looking more like [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] here all around; Leliana is shown there to be ''epically'' hard to fool and very subtle when she has to be. In DA1 she was apparently doing her best to convince the Warden that she was not a risk to travel with and so deliberately played up that while she was still useful in a fight she wasn't actually a ''skilled'' manipulator and assassin, honest.
*** Which ties in both with Marjolaine's warning in DA1 that the Leliana you thought you knew was not the real her, ''and'' the part where Zevran (another assassin) never treated Leliana as anything other than a professional equal.
* [[Innocent Bigot]]: She'll make some well-intentioned but racist comments to you if you're playing as an elf. If you tell her you're offended, she'll apologize and thank you for [[Character Development|opening her eyes]].
* [[Jeanne D'Archetype]]: [[Action Girl]]? Check. Devoutly religious? Check. French (or [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture|the equivalent]])? Check. Visions telling her to fight? Check. Case closed.
