Theresa was far more skilled at swordsmanship, stealth, and marksmanship than pre-Rattay Henry. She was going out of her way to kill the raiders, and had them surrendering & fleeing. Realistically this was just because I, the player, had improved at the game with more practice, but I very much enjoy the idea of Theresa being terrifyingly good at combat with no prior experience (Henry at least had like at least two sword-fighting lessons). As well as subsequently navigating her own grief-fuelled anger, natural talent for combat, and desire to protect others with the societal rules and expectations for women, all without wanting to give up her womanhood.
