First I wanna start off with a screenshot from when I started playing ESO seriously and right after I finished vDSA and placed my trophy:

Back in November 2015, I started playing ESO much more seriously, creating an EP Khajiit Sorcerer cuz a friend was in EP. I had beta tested before, but I didn't have a good enough machine that could handle the released game. Anyways, when I started playing, all I was doing was questing and exploring. The story line was really fun to follow, and I always looked forward to being the next 5th level to continue the main story. I spent about half a year doing this, with the occasional pvp run in Blackwater Blade. I had no idea what I was doing, but I was having fun. I made friends along the way, steadily improving myself. I was wearing heavy armor though, so obviously I had no idea to be a good dps. I was just running what I felt like running. Eventually I got to Veteran Rank 1, which was an extremely happy day for me. I was finally one of the cool cats. Keep in mind, I was still pretty scrubby then. I eventually got into an trading guild that I'm still in, and there I made some pretty awesome friends. Though I was still a mega noob, they still happily ran with me in normal dungeons and whatnot. I was still wearing heavy armor until I slowly reached Vet rank 16. After maybe a month of playing at that level, I decided to get some crafted v16 light armor made from a good friend from the trading guild. I knew that light armor was better DPS-wise, but I still had an affinity for the looks of heavy armor, especially the Xyvkin style. Anyways, for a good amount of time, I kept questing, pvping scrubishly, and doing normal pledges. Eventually I ran my first vet dungeon, Spindleclutch, now known as Spindleclutch II. Though I didn't get a monster helm, I was ecstatic to finally do a vet dungeon. I kept doing the easy vet dungeons until I got to do vet City of Ash (now City of Ash II). I got my first monster helm there, and it was training. I didn't care about the trait. I was just happy to have a really nice helm. Anyways, during one pvp run, I ran into another magicka Khajiit who was in AD, and I whispered them, excited to see another like me. We whispered for a good while, and to this day, that guy has been an amazing friend to me. I even made some AD toons to PvP with him because I really wanted to hang with him. Note, this was before One Tamriel and you could do whatever with people of the opposite factions. Around the same time, in the trading guild, I met a really cool PvE elite. He was so chill and loved to have a scrub like me around. This guy really helped me get from being a mega potato to where I am today PvE-wise. He was the one who brought me to my first vet trial, and he helped me with builds and lovingly getting competitive with dps parses. I was and am happy to know such a chill and caring PvEer. Through these friends of mine, I met even more cool people who did PvE and PvP. I happily got to do vet Hel Ra Citadel and vet Aetherian Archives for the first time, even though I was a bit scrubby with my dps still. I've had some disagreements with some of these people, and I'm sad to say I'm no longer friends with them. However, with some practice and still-caring people, I eventually got better with getting good gear and better with my sorc. And now I'm where I'm at now. I've finished vet Maelstrom Arena, vet Sanctum Ophidia, vet Aetherian Archives, vet Hel ra Citadel, and now vet Dragonstar Arena. I couldn't have been able to get to the point of where I am now without meeting so many cool people who helped me better myself in both PvE and PvP. Now hopefully these friends of mine can help me get through vet Maw of Lorkhaj and the upcoming trial with Morrowind!

PS: I've kept her a a khajiit even after race change tokens because I absolutely love being a pretty kitty, and I feel it's a unique challenge to not be a meta-race for magicka sorcerers like Dunmer and Altmer (both who I dislike a lot lore-wise).
