Okay take two since the first time I made this post, Tumblr ate it.
I'll have to make this into a proper character page later but this is SΓomha, a Reachfolk Shezzarine living during the time of Skyrim.
She was an alchemist for her clan, and during the time the Reach controlled it lived in Markarth. Like many others, she fled during the Markarth incident, but was captured by another Clan. They forcibly turned her into a Briarheart without her consent, something she actively did not want and had chosen not to pursue in her home clan. Hircine was not pleased with this, and blessed her with the gift of lycanthropy, which she promptly used to wipe out most of the clan that had visited such violence against her. Turns out a Briarheart werewolf is very hard to kill.
After this, I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing for Skyrim proper; she's not the last dragonborn, that's another character, but she is definitely *present* in some way. I know she'll at least be doing some kind of politicking to get Markarth returned to the Reachfolk. I also know she has a lot of disdain for Nords, most especially Ulfric. And she will have a ship I'm just not sure who that's going to be because she's turned her nose up at most of the usual suspects. *No* Companions specifically; she thinks they're not treating the Gift with the proper respect that they should.
Some other notes I'm not sure where to work into this text block since I'm just kinda lore dumping is that she's a trans woman and also she deals with chronic pain due to being a Briarheart. When she transforms she gets a short amount of time where the pain is dulled or even gone; I figure with her cells getting all rearranged to be wolfy instead of persony that it would take a bit for the pain to pick back up again.
