I don't remember her. I'll have to reload the game and replay it a few times. Ah, how I suffer for my research :)

Agreed to some extent: but Kallyr is human, not super-human. Jareel, yes, quite possibly, though I know far less about her.

Sounds good, and not like something the Kallyr I know would do. At least, not by brute strength. Skill, or magic, yes. Some of the moves I've been learning (it's all right, only in choreographed and "pulled" versions) from the medieval combat manuals would look a lot like throwing your opponent in the air if done at full speed. (Then they hit the ground back of head first, breaking their neck, their sword-arm got broken as you launched them, and you follow up... no, we don't do this at full speed!)

Sure, in principle I agree. But she won't do anything as stupid as standing around holding more weapons than she can wield. Nor trying to look "cute" ie. helpless. At least, not by 1613!
