She's the 'brooding troubled guy on a quest to avenge his lost love' archetype, but a woman. She's a professional thief. She's related to two of the most important figures in the lore (Nerevar and Queen Barenziah). This is completely irrelevant to anything she does in the game and you only find it out if you read her dead boyfriend's book. She's been in exile for a quarter century. She's a talented and deadly archer. She makes unique poisons. The first thing she ever does in-game is shoot you. She's involved in a predictable but fun plot twist. Her dead boyfriend was a charming thief/scholar fluent in a dead language. He's still in love with her after twenty-five years alone in a temple and promises to wait for her in the afterlife. She blames herself for his death and you don't even get a chance to tell her she's wrong. Sometimes it's unclear whether she's using you, or whether you're a team working toward the same goal, and I'm not sure she knows either. She's the only Dunmer with purple eyes. She's traumatised. She's grieving. She's self-loathing. She's furious. She's the most character in the entire game. How were we not more unhinged about this woman.

“this ship is toxic and abusive” yeah that’s what makes it hot
