Thanks. When I do make a character I enjoy playing as, I sometimes make them a good backstory. I mean, I always give my characters backstories, but I really work on these ones, usually writing them journals.
Usually my stories involve the character being quite innocent and young, but events force them to grow up fast. Like this one. She already knew how to defend herself (she was a hunter), but she had never killed anything other than an animal. But now she's alone.
I haven't wrote anymore of her story, but I'm thinking she'll go to Bruma where she will hone her skills, maybe be forced to kill someone, then return to Skyrim and get captured somehow.
I applaud your conviction to your character creation, that you should go beyond the facial features and hair is commendable. I like to add a bit of that to my characters as well, my character ClĂodhna's father, for example, died as described below except he fell off the bucket onto some arrows, just outside the Ragged Flagon. Such things are common in Riften, I have come to understand. I have a picture, but it's not very pretty.
To be clear, because the journal sounds rubbish just like that:
She stopped writing in her journal after her uncle Roe died, about 6 months before her father. She and her father built a home together next to Riverwood (Hunters Cabin of Riverwood by Okiir). That's just a catch up entry.
After her father died, she left Skyrim to return to Bruma, Cyrodiil, where she was born.
"3rd of First Seed, 4E 200 Last week father was out hunting without me, he was ambushed by a pack of wolves, he killed them, but he was badly hurt. He crawled home and I took him to Whiterun to get healing magic, but he was to badly injured. The mage couldn't do anything.
He passed a few hours later. I lost the two people who mean the most to me within a year. I didn't get father a pyre, he always wanted to be buried in the land. I took his remains home and buried him behind the tree, his grave has a nice view of Riverwood, a town we both loved. I cried for 3 days."
The other she lost was her Uncle Roe, killed by Forsworn.
Will she embark on a quest of vengeance to slay his killers? Or did he have a heart attack whilst on the crapper bucket, eating a hoarker and eidar sandwich? You can't really have closure with that one.
