We've had Sexymen, we may be getting sexywomen soon, so how about crowning the Elder Scrolls' No. 1 GILF?

Many thanks to @elavoria for providing me with a large variety of Morrowind and Oblivion elderly to choose from. All characters are chosen at their oldest age.

tesinktober2021 prompt 20: alchemist

Got a new reachfolk girl! Her full name rn is Marihøne "ladybird" Áine, she hasn't gotten her third name yet because she's still pretty young and hasn't achieved it.

Her parents were killed during Ulfric's attack of Markarth, so she was taken in by Eola

They're not blood-related but Mari calls her auntie

By other people, she's called:

- Eola = Áine (bc they're both reachfolk)

- Bothela = Marihøne (even though Bothela is a reachwoman, she doesn't want to influence Mari to go and join the Forsworn; she's already lost her grandson that way)

- Muiri = Ladybird (Ladybird is the translation of her snowname, Marihøne)

She works part time at the Hag's Cure with Bothela and Muiri, they both dote on her a lot. Bothela teaches her a lot of poisons, her and Muiri experiment with other potions together

She's a little Namira worshipper :))

She has a pet millipede and a toad that she loves very much

Kin'aru is a little bit terrified of her. shes like a little gremlin that appears every now and then when he's visiting the Hag's Cure

OOOHH BESTIE U CANT JUST ASK ME THAT, i will go on about it for ages!! i have SO much to say about alexi's childhood in markarth and some pretty detailed notes on her relationship with a lot of the residents of the city, ESPECIALLY bothela who's like her #1 role model and one of the most positive influences in her life. this is my (failed) attempt to keep my ramblings short.

so when it comes to borkul the beast, i actually have a long ass fanfic in the works explaining the details of how they met, but the gist is: her uncles (thonar and thongvor silver-blood) have always wanted to get rid of their eldest brother/alexandria's father and his whole side of the family because of his marriage to a reachwoman. alexi pretty much spent her entire life with a target on her back, and a complex set of circumstances basically ended up landing her and her siblings in jail when she was 17 and robin & marceline were only 12 years old. it was there that she met all the cidhna mine prisoners, and it took a while but they eventually got on everyone's good side. borkul was the hardest to convince, but when lex threw up a fire cloak spell and tackled him to the ground because he was scaring her siblings, she earned his respect lol. he ended up insisting to teach her how to throw a proper punch. this is the promo for the fic btw:
