Character Trivia #1 - Nevri
@cresu tagged me for this first and I love it! A chance to ramble about the blorbos? Beautiful! As @luciolafantastic, @sulphuricgrin and @sanzas-reverie have tagged me too I'm doing a few more of these :P
Name: Nevrasa "Nevri" Veledor
Born: 20th of Evening Star 4E167
Occupation: Waitress at the New Gnisis Cornerclub, Waitress and helping hand at the Wretching Netch
Background:
Nevri was born to a rather rich family of Dunmer merchants. Her mother, Khestis, is the heir to the trade business of the family but was more interested in pursuing a career as a pottery artist. Sathis, her father, took over the trade after his plans of being a mercenary and hunter were ended after Khestis became pregnant.
Nevri grew up in a loving home, with a strict mother who valued family traditions and a father that taught her to hunt and fight. Her grandparents did not stay long in Windhelm when she was little and left for Mournhold. When Nevri was grown, her parents too settled over to Mournhold but she decided against coming with them.
After working in New Gnisis Corner Club for a few years and earning a living with it, an incident happened and she had to flee from Windhelm. She found herself in the wildernis of the Velothi Mountains and was found by Eranya. Through her, she became part of the Cult of Boethiah and later Champion.
Canmal: Her childhood and still best friend, the positive to her negative. Canmal is the best bean and we all love him and there will never happen something bad to him.
Eranya: A priestess of Boethiah that saved Nevri's life when she had to flee Windhelm. She too talked her into joining the cult and stayed by her side, being her friend and advisor when she had climbed the rank of champion.
Morotar: The bane of her existence and the love of her life. Do I need to say more?
Teldryn: A fling that became a friend to her when she lived on Solstheim.
Lovira: Soon to be bestie in Alinor and the one she can gossip about Morotar with.
Ria: The 1000-year old adoptive child, who she bonded with over a shared fate.
Sebenian: Nemesis and wanna-be-rival for the cult leadership

Quick wit (but with a portion of fatalism)

Selfish to a degree (due to her impatience often), but would throw herself in front of a friend if needed
Morally grey, with a tendency to dark morals
Nevri wields a Dwemer sword and a crossbow in battle and prefers ranged attacks from direct ones, as she is a much stronger archer than sword fighter. She has learned the use of her crossbow from her father in detail and had plenty of time and practice to perfect it. With the sword, she has only had little play-fights with Canmal as a child (with wooden swords of course) and learned much of her skill by doing back at the Sacellum. Saving one's life is a great motivation to get better!
Because of that motivation, she's often an reckless and unfair fighter but with a good eye for her opponent's weaknesses. It has saved her ass numerous time to do the odd trick while fighting and with her gained ability of immortality, she even uses this to get the upper hand (great example in chapter 44 of DwDII).
Prominent scars: first only those she has gathered at the Sacellum but in DwD II she gains a lot of bulging, red scars that never really heal (google hypertrophic scars if interested), most prominent ones are: neck (from ear to ear), above her heart from a stab, a big, cresent shaped one above her liver and throught her ribs on her back in the same shape (girly got impaled).
Tip of her left ear missing
