As well as Hysteria and her images. What do they do, how exactly do they work does it stays still like Miria’s, does it goes forward? So to me, is like they underwent a hypnotic process to make them forget everything but their fighting skills. Also Hysteria said that she didn´t remember anything and that all that she did remember was that she had to kill the rebels that that was very clear to her.

You think it's strange for them to be able to do things that they shouldn't be able to do without their memories and you also think it's strange for those patience to keep behaviours connected to something that they don't remember at all.....well,the only reason you think like that is because you are not very informed on the matter since actually both those things are 100% normal for patiences in that situation (memory loss).

Example:
If a mathematician completely loses his memories about his life,it's still quite probable that he would be able to solve very complex equations even if he has absolutely no idea why he can do it (since he has no memories about his study).
The term you are looking for is Implicit Memory. Helps explain most, if not all, of the above-mentioned points.
