So to start out, I guess I will just explain the Dragonborn before she became the Dragonborn. I figured it was best to do that so I don't have to overly explain it throughout the story. Just so you get the picture of who she is. Basically I'm trying to get you to start smelling what I'm selling. A little dip before you dive into the deep waters of love after she meets Bishop.
And if you don't care to know, you can just skip on to the next chapter and have a hard time figuring it out on your own. If your smart and can figure it out. Congrats, your a lot smarter than me. Lmao.
Now down to business.
Here goes nothing...
I won't tell you her name yet... because I haven't picked one that suits her... but I will tell you everything else.
She is half Elf, half Imperial. What kind of Elf you may ask. Not High nor Dark, a Snow Elf.
Yes... the almost extinct race that slowly turned into the Falmore or "The Betrayed" from being forced underground by the Nords and the Dwemer.
She doesn't know her parents. And... no I don't plan to get into that topic. Why?... Because I don't know if it makes complete sense what I had planned... So I guess I will tell you...
So far my plan was that before "The Betrayed" started slaughtering the snow elves in the Dawngaurd DLC. She lived in the hidden realm, her father being one among the citizens, no one specific or special. Just someone that was not opposed to mixing the races. Meets an Imperial who stumbles into the realm. Fell in love, had the little Dragonborn. "The Betrayed" attack, Father is heroic and stays behind, then gets killed. Mother fleas to Skyrim, loves the baby till her last dying breath as she gets killed by bandits.
No she doesn't get raised by the bandits, she was actually hidden away before the attack. Though a Khajjit Caravan hear her cries and save her bringing her to the Riften orphanage on their way there.
She lives out her childhood in Riften, with no knowledge of her family nor past, and gets abused by the young version of the old hag that runs the orphanage in the original game time.
She grew up with the fascination of Nordic ruins and Draugr, she fantasizes about learning about them and the knowledge their ruins hold when she gets older. She does get in good with the Thieves Guild just before her teenage years. Because of it she gains more knowledge of sneaking, lock picking, and speech craft more than any other skills.
She never got adopted because she was different from the other children and looked like no other race that was... alive... around... I don't know... the people were racist that's why she didn't get adopted. There, you happy!
Once she was old enough to leave the orphanage she left Riften and the Thieves Guild. Joined the Khajjit Caravan on their trips across Skyrim. Oh did I forget to mention, they were very close.
After they dropped her off they kept an eye on her when they visited Riften. They would stop by and see her and bring her gifts from their trades. Mostly Nordic things, considering they were the ones that told her about the ruins they heard from travelers. Anyway they were like her family, that couldn't really adopt her because they weren't able to care for a child always traveling. So they gladly let her join since they already had that bond and she could now handle herself.
She would stop by the ancient ruins on their travels never gaining the courage to go in. Just silently fangirling as they walk by, and taking notes and drawings on their entrance designs.
Once she was an adult, she decided to leave the caravan to search the ruins on her own. Since it was her passion she didn't want to drag anyone along and place them in danger.
She is finally able to go in the ruins, she doesn't fight though. She snuck her way through them, slowly gaining a collection of Ancient Nordic Armor. No weapons though. She would only fight if she had no other choice, but only using sneak attacks. She would run for her life if there was too many that would spot her at once.
It would take her days to fully explore one ruin safely. It was hard but she was patient for it's what she loved. And to her the knowledge was enough. That and the puzzles, she loved the puzzles the most.
The more we explored the ruins, the more she discovered their Shouts from the Deathlords and the walls of Dragon language and shouts. She never thought that her learning a word wasn't normal. She just was amazed by how excited she got when she read them.
Basically she thought anyone could come up and read them just like her. Unknowing that she was the Dragonborn.
From her last ruin she decided to travel to Riverwood, since she heard about Bleak Falls Barrow not being to far from it. That was a place she had to visit. But on her way she bumped into a wolf pit after hearing the howls while traveling the road. That's where she found our favorite brown ball of fluff, Karnwyr.
He traveled with her till she made it to Riverwood, and now your caught up.
I hope this was helpful, if you have any questions leave a review.
Until next time my lovelies!
