Rosario Lightbringer is an unusually tall high elf. She actually has giant's blood (from her mother's side), but denies it due to her racist upbringing. She spends her days healing in the dungeons of Tamriel, but not because she is kind. She heals because it makes her feel important.

I always make up extra backstory for my characters, but some are still a bit vague so here's the 3 I've fleshed out.

Danielle Aurorel. Breton templar.

She's from a minor Glenumbra noble house, merchants by trade and her family was very sure she would follow on in the family business and/or find a nice man and settle down. Which is strange because she was never the settled type. She was always the kid her mother had to call home after it got dark and usually the one arriving with new bumps and scrapes and torn clothing from wherever she had been off exploring that day. It was amazing she never got herself killed (sooner).

Eventually her parents recognised this and decided she had better learn to defend herself. They encouraged her to study magic because at least that was a respectable profession, and she did enjoy it. She enjoyed practicing with her daggers with some of the kids from less respectable neighbourhoods too. When she came of age she firmly refused plans to marry her off and changed her last name (to avoid embarrassing her family) and went off travelling.

She will never admit to them that it wasn't long before she did get herself killed. She won't admit even to herself that it may actually have been the best thing that happened to her because she finally found the purpose she had been looking for and has been devoted to stopping the Worm Cult (with occasional distractions) ever since.

Danika Aurorel. Khajiit templar.

She was born in the jungles of southern Elsyweyr and her upbringing was fairly typical for the region. She doesn't talk about her family much except to say they were good people. The fact that she always says that in past tense may say a lot more than her actual words. For reasons which are almost equally unclear (and possibly related) she does not like the Altmer, apparently considering them extremely dishonest and unreliable, and left Elsyweyr shortly ahead of their arrival. She travelled through Cyrodiil but finding nothing but war she carried on north, through Hammerfell and into Highrock, until there was nowhere further north to go.

Which is where she met Danielle. The two were amused by their similar names and Danika adopted her last name as a show of solidarity and to fit in with her adopted homeland. ((When I played the same character in Skyrim she became a werewolf to fit in so a name change isn't all that drastic.)) They parted ways after a while but wound up meeting the same fate anyway.

Curiously Danika is less concerned about her murder (she usually says she "got over it") although she is concerned about Molag Bal and his plans for Nirn. But she's equally inclined to fight the Dominion and on occasion the Pact, having discovered Highrock is not simply the place she stopped travelling but a land and a people she can live with.

Sagittam Ad Genu. Imperial Dragonknight.

Unlike my girls he's an old hand at all this. He was a soldier for years before the Three Banners War broke out and had at one time or another visited every province in Tamriel. Shortly after the war broke out he finally took an injury that ended his time as a soldier and he retired to Auridon to take up crafting.

Somewhat embarrassingly for an experienced soldier he was captured one night on the way home from the pub after a night of unusually heavy drinking. Even worse his captors proved to be the Worm Cult and instead of simply robbing him they murdered him in some kind of freak ceremony.

Well, he might be retired but he is not the kind of man who would take an insult like that lying down and has decided to make an exception to personally take revenge on every single one of the ***** necromancers he can find and their ****** master. He's not quite sure you can kill a daedric prince but he's going to give it a damned good try, with a sword he made with his own two hands.
