Yeah, it's becoming a bit much to say the least. I preferred her back in the days of ARR when she was the character willing to speak up and deliver some harsh criticism even to her own allies, including calling out Merlwyb for her handling of the Kobold and Sahagin predicament.

It's also hilarious that she's 'died' the most times out of the core cast and has no meaningful lasting consequences...even her blindness isn't really a drawback since it doesn't stop her studying, moving around or engaging in combat.

Then again, Thancred losing the ability to manipulate aether doesn't really hold him back any either. There's such desperation to maintain the status quo at any cost which just leads to everything becoming so very predictable and safe. Then whenever something darker actually does happen, the game - and many of the game's more vocal players - just quietly seek to brush it under the rug.

That reminds me of the time in Shadowbringers that a pregnant woman was brutally murdered by the Warrior of Light and Scions. Then again, the pregnant woman in question was a sahagin - so there was quite a lot of people who sought to downplay the act and push it as an 'unfortunate necessity'. A familiar tactic, it seems!
