[hider=Yvara Jemane] [center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/l8IIhI4.jpg[/img] Name: Yvara Jemane Age: 26 Gender: Female Race: Breton Appearance: Yvara stands at a rather short 5 foot 5. Her hair is a dark black and her skin is pale from her time in the cloudy skies of Skyrim. She has a small amount of freckles going from her left cheek to her right and some on her nose. Her eyes are a chestnut brown. She bears a scar from a bear claw attack over her right eye, which she covers with green warpaint. Personality: Yvara isn't the smartest of people to put it bluntly. She was rarely educated throughout her life and as a result tends to rely on her gut instinct rather than her brains. She is not racist towards any creed or race, being a race that was the offspring of Elves and Humans who was raised by Redguards, she doesn't really have much place to be racist. While not vain in the least, she hates when people insult her height and can come to fisticuffs over the matter if the insult is great enough. History: Yvara was born in High Rock, the homeland for the Bretons. Her mother and father were bakers, and owned a bakery within a small, quaint village. She grew up under the impression that she would become a baker like her parents when she was older, but her life took a very unexpected turn and becoming a baker was no longer an option really. She was around 5 at the time, and was kneading dough with her mother while her father went out to buy supplies. Bandits attacked the small village, and the small amount of guards protecting the town were more used to fighting off bears than they were bandits and were promptly massacred on the spot. Yvara's father managed to get to the bakery in time to warn Yvara and her mother but he was promptly shot with an arrow just after he had warned them. The bandits broke into the bakery and Yvara was lucky enough to have hid in a back room while her mother stalled the bandits. Yvara hid in a cupboard secluded in a dark corner of the room and watched as the bandits brutally raped and then butchered her mother. She hid in the cupboard for hours until she was sure the bandits were gone. She emerged from the bakery to meet a town burned to rubble. Corpses littered the streets and houses caved in on their own broken supports. She was found by a Redguard couple who had originally intended to trade in the village. They took Yvara onto their caravan, originally intending to drop her off at an orphanage in Solitude. But as the trio travelled on, they grew closer and closer together. Eventually the couple decided to adopt Yvara rather than drop her off at the orphanageand took her all around Tamriel in their trading travels. Her father taught her the 'gift of the gab' while her mother taught her how to use a sword and shield as Yvara grew up. At the age of 17 she left the couple to travel around Tamriel on her own. She worked various jobs as she travelled with Mercenary, courier and baker being just a few. She eventually fell in love with a young Nord when she travelled to Skyrim. They bonded through hunting and drinking games in various inns. Things went sour quite fast when he met with a few Stormcloak supporters. They convinced him that Skyrim was solely for the Nords and that every other race was in some sort of conspiracy against them. He grew to agree with them and broke off with Yvara after calling her various slurs and racial terms. She is long since over that now. And has been travelling throughout Tamriel seeking a purpouse in life among other things. When she discovered that the Jarls of Skyrim were looking for dragon hunters she thought of it as an opportunity to prove herself and took up said opportunity. Skills: Yvara was taught two important things by her surrogate parents. The first being 'the gift of the gab'. Yvara is quite good at bartering and can often sell things for higher than their worth and buy things for lower than their worth. The second thing she was taught was how to fight. She is quite adept in the use of her sword and shield, being able to use the shield both offensively and defensively. She is also quite good at baking bread, not that it's that useful for hunting dragons. Spells: -Minor Restoration Spells -One minor fireball spell Equipment: Yvara carries a steel sword with a matching steel shield. She regularly carries the sword at her hip and the shield on her back. She wears a mixture of lightweight scaled and leather armour. She carries a canteen of water and a satchel full of food on her at all times. [/center] [/hider]
