meta meme - does sidri have issues adjusting to life without her arm? what does her recovery process look like and how does it effect her everyday? her fighting style? does she get some kind of magical prosthetic?
send me a topic to write a meta on / accepting!
losing her arm is something that she eventually comes to terms with and accepts, though the first few months are brutal and it takes a few years for her to not feel self-conscious or uncomfortable about it.
she’s never felt comfortable with the anchor, so there’s an immediate strange sense of relief. it’s always felt alien to her and like something harboring in her body. sidri’s always loathed it and feared it and, in turn, there is a bittersweet joy to losing her arm.
she prides herself on being self-sufficient and so the first few months of adjusting including a lot of angry tears and frustration when she struggles with simple tasks, like writing or dressing herself. she hates asking for help and struggles longer than she needs to regarding this, but with time her pride eases enough to allow her to ask for help.
she’s very fortunate in that she has the opportunity to lead a life that doesn’t involve combat or needing to fight following trespasser, though sidri does miss training and being as active as she had been during the main timeline. she occasionally makes time to train, even if it is just light and easy and nowhere near as intense as prior, as a way to relax.
maybe surprisingly, she makes the decision to forgo any prosthetic. she wants people to remember her as the inquisitor and what that cost, though more for the sake of leveraging her power than any sort of personal pride. she finds the lack of prosthetic makes people take a second look, which generally means they recognize her, and she’s comfortable with that recognition because it’s accompanied by respect.
