Siri Uzuri

Depending on the move Siri uses in combat, certain stats will degrade with use and deplete her overall health, regardless of having received any injury. This is put in place to make a battle as fair and realistic as possible, as energy is required to fight, and no warrior on earth can go on forever. I've included her point-based stats above.

In general, if Siri receives an injury during combat, it will affect either one of her stats depending on the type of wound. So for example, a poisoned wound will affect Cunning, as it will addle her mind and make it more difficult for her to make decisive actions. A wound to her legs will affect her Speed, a wound to her arms, Strength, etc. Whisper me if you have questions.

After a fight, these will be changed to reflect the battle's results, including health effects for Siri. Depending on wounds received as well as stats depleted, it can take anywhere from a week to several months for her to recover to full health again.

So for reference, beneath you'll find some skills which may be implemented during a fight. Each move has included with it the stat it will effect, as well as the amount it will drain. The more a stat is drained, the more powerful the attack, and also the longer the cool-down time for that attack.

Siri currently has three weapons at her disposal: Scimitar (2), Spear, and her own claws

These stats may change over time, depending on the frequency of use and other factors, but unlike the warrior stats they will not change during a battle unless a significant misblow has damaged them, such as a forceful strike of the scimitar being glanced off of an enemy and onto a hard surface.
