"Tsk tsk tsk..I never really could tell the difference."


....this was still done on start (because playing with idea and whatnot).

Also, i may have found her role. Now, im sticking to the mage/model idea BUT -and here's the delightful twist- she's a  rubbish  mage. Cant even cast candlelight or basic fire spell (well..maybe for lighting an actual candle but not much more). So,  she's a  "scroll mage". Naturally uses scrolls and staves for her "magic".

I mean, she cant possibly qualify.

And no, she cant go to bard's college because she cant sing.  Or play instruments. Not much of a cook either.

Winterhold college tolerates her because she firmly believed she can overcome this magic inability if has great teachers. That, and she pays a lot.

Spends a lot too, for  scrolls and staves and stones..and the whole "looking like a mage" thing. You know, you can excuse a lot  of weird clothing/accessories/body modifications if attributing them to illusion/alternation schools.
Not like commonfolk will argue.

And there are eccentric mages. No one can prove anything. And if they could, she would tripple whatever 'they' getting paid.
