Ella grew up on the roads of Skyrim. Her natural state is moving from place to place. Her mother was running from the Dark Brotherhood, and Ella has no idea if she's still alive or not. She found herself apprenticed to an arrowsmith in Solitude when she was young, and learned her craft there. She believes, with some measure of bias, that she makes some of the best arrows in Skyrim. She much prefers the roads and the woods to the cities, though it is easier to sell her goods and safer to sleep in the cities. She has an awkward, stumble-y air about her. She is very stubborn, especially when it comes to the prices on her goods. When she puts her mind to a task she refuses to let go of it. Ella has no opinion on the civil war. She sells her arrows to archers in both camps. She just does not feel that Skyrim politics affect her more than as a surplus of business. [style=font-size: 14px;]Friends |
Ella is likely to have multiple friends, though most of them are really more business acquaintances. Most of these would be archers, smiths, and hunters. She does not go out of her way to talk to persons she does not believe would be interested in her goods or trade. She does spent a lot of time on the road, but she stops in the towns frequently enough to hold relationships. She would be more than happy to share stories of her "adventures" with her friends, but there is no telling which stories actually happened, and which ones were fabricated.
Enemies
She's most cautious about the Dark Brotherhood, and would probably rank most of its memebers in her enemies. She's not opposed to the existence of the Dark Brotherhood, just to the part where they were the reason her mother left her in Solitude. Bandits, theives, or other nefarious types that attempted to steal from her, or hinder her business would fall in this category as well. Outside of that, there would not be many people who would fall in to this category, unless they went out of their way to do so.
Lovers
Tradition marriage for Ella is a difficult option. While she would not be opposed to a nice marriage with a good man, she could not stay in one place. So, either he too would have to be on the road more often than not, or he would have to tolerate her wandering spirit, and how little she would be at their home. She is not opposed to having physical relationships, though they would probably be more of a casual shag as they crossed paths now and then.

alistair the frail
you make me laugh you make me cry
Alistair the Frail, so dubbed by his six older brothers, has always been small for a Nord. He's not tall, or strong, or a warrior by any meaning of the word. What he lacks in the physical prowess of his brothers, he makes up for in magical abilities. He studied at the College of Winterhold before being offered a chance to study under the Court Wizard of Solitude. His family is very supportive of the Stormcloaks, four of his brothers are soldiers in the Stormcloak force. Despite the capitol's Imperial influence he tries to just focus on the magic not the politics. Alistair prefers learning to fighting. He would rather read a good book than head out to the tavern. He enchants weapons and makes potions on the side. He does tend to be forgetful, especially about names. Alistair is slightly careless, constantly losing and having to search for things. [style=font-size: 14px;]Friends |
He frequently comes across as unfriendly. He doesn't intented to, but he would just really rather read than make friends. That aside, he is a very useful magical resource for anyone who happens to be in Solitude. He rarely leaves Haafingar hold, unless sent out by the Court Wizard. Most often those errands are to the College. Chances are any friends he has he met either at the College or in Solitude.
Enemies
Imperial soldiers, necromancers, and anyone who tries to turn magic to darker purposes. He no more goes out of his way to make enemies than he does friends. To earn a space as his enemy out side of the previous qualifications, one would have to work very hard. He tends to forgive and forget, heavy on the forget. So someone who had wronged him many times, or done something incredibly horrible to him could make this list if they really wanted.
Lovers
As of now, Alistair has no romantic interests. He is not opposed to the idea, he just has yet to meet a young woman who keeps his interest. His list of perfect qualifications is really too long and very unrealistic, but as the life expectancy of someone who does not adventure often is much higher, he figures he has plenty of time to find the right girl, and is in no rush.

'til there's nothing left standing nothing left of yesterday
Isobel was born and raised in Bravil in Cyrodiil. Having no desire to conform to her mother's life plan for her, she joined the legion there the moment that she was old enough. She is younger than most of her fellow legionaries a solider, though she recently volunteered to fill the position of courier for them. Growing up idolizing her two older brothers, she learned to fight at a very small age favoring her shield. As a courier she is all over Skyrim on any given day. She spends a almost all of her running from one end of the country to the other, delivering letters and orders to the various Imperial camps dotting the landscape. Though she is unashamed of her Imperial affiliations, when out in Skryim she tries her best to blend in. She is highly competitive and combative. [style=font-size: 14px;]Friends |
Isobel is a little difficult to play nice with. She is rough around the edges, stubborn, and highly opinionated. She is very much a leap first ask questions later kind of friend. She does things purely on instinct and less on thinking it through. As such, she would be a hilarious friend, the kind who's stories started with a great idea and ended with where in Tamriel are we. The people she does make friends with, she would fiercely protect. She is newer to Skyrim, previously only knowing other Imperial soldiers, but any new friends are welcome!
Enemies
Stormcloaks. Dark Brotherhood. Any one else that the Imperial Army would be officially against. She tries to stand up for what is right, and disapproves of anyone who doesn't. She generally has issues with thieves, bandits, and necromancers as well. Out side of obviously being a criminal, one would have to work hard to make her class them as enemies. She may be rough, but she is pretty forgiving.
Lovers
Isobel always wears an amulet of Mara. Not because she's looking for a proposal of marriage, but because she grew up in Bravil with a temple of Mara so close, her mother gave it to her to remember her home. However, she would not be opposed to an offer from a decent enough looking bloke. She is a soldier. She knows she's likely to die the next time the Imperials raid a fort, so, a very in depth romantic relationship is not likely for her. Purely physical relationships are not unwelcome.

layla shadowblade
from the city lights and sounds deep in to the dark
Layla is an altmer of Skyrim. She was born in Skyrim and has always lived there. Her mother is one of the senior enchanters at the College of Winterhold, as such she grew up there and visits her mother there frequently. She lives in Solitude, with her husband when he isn't away selling goods as traveling merchants tend to do. She was previously a witch hunter, but has had to give up most of her hunting duties as she is currently expecting their first child. She hopes to get back to it once the baby is born, but will have to work out how to balance caring for an infant with ridding Skyrim's countryside of witches. While she is away from her normal job, she is enchanting weapons and selling potions to make a little money on the side. She is generally very kind, often putting the needs of others before herself. Highly skilled in most forms of magic and incredibly intelligent, but she lacks the haughty attitude that is common amongst high elves. She has no interest in the Thalmor or the civil war. She could not care less for which side wins the civil war, as long as someone wins before she her child is born. She can't imagine bringing him in to such a volatile atmosphere. [style=font-size: 14px;]Friends |
She is hardly picky about her friends. More than likely anyone she's helped with a witch, hagraven, or vampire problem would fall here. She's willing to make friends with anyone living in or visiting Solitude, as thats where she spends most of her time. She is not one to judge anyone on their race. She understands why some Nords are quick to dismiss her. It is an unfortunate accident of birth that she resembles the Thalmor.
Enemies
Witches, Necromancers, Hagravens, and Vampires. She has hunted these creatures for a very long time. Anyone that falls in to those categories would be on her enemy list, and she on theirs. Chances are good that she's killed at least one relation they have in her tenure as a witch hunter.
Lovers
Layla is married and has the only lover she currently needs. However there were years before where while she was not serious about settling down, she may have had other relationships. So, while she is not looking for a current romance, a previous history kind of romance may not be a bad thing.

babette motierre
ring-a-ring o'rosies a pocket full of posies ashes ashes they all fall down
Babette was ten years old when she was turned in to a vampire. She was brought in to the Dark Brotherhood two hundred years ago by Vincente Valtieri and has considered it her home ever since. She does worry what she will do when the Dark Brotherhood finally collapses. She saw it at its greatest strength and has watched its gradual decline in to the collapsing shell of what it is today. She can be cruel and feels no remorse for killing. She frequently feeds but tries to keep it away from the sanctuary as she does not want to bring vampire hunters to their doorstep. She takes contracts as often as she can. Because of her "age" she is frequently dismissed as a child, even by those who know of her condition. This drives her completely mad, but she cannot change how people perceive her. Except by killing them, and she tries not to do too much killing outside of her contracts. When she can help it… [style=font-size: 14px;]Friends |
Her "Family." Any member of the Dark Brotherhood, Babette is quickly attached to. Her loyalty is to the family and no one else. She cares for each of her family members, at least the ones that last more than a few contracts. While she knows she is going to far out live them, she still gets attached. Outside of the Brotherhood she would not have many friends, perhaps a few alchemist contacts or other business arrangements, but not real lasting friendship.
Enemies
Contracts. Penitus Oculatus Agents, Witch/Vampire Hunters, People she stalks and feeds on. Babette has not always been the nicest person. Outside of her "family" she really does not try to make friends, and would probably push most people over in to the enemies category. She figures she will out live them anyway why like them at all? Because of her young appearance she does have an easier time fooling people in to believing that she is a normal child, so that might help lessen this list a bit.
Lovers
Because of her young appearance this category is almost nonexistent. She does use her age to a benefit for targets with certain perversions. There is more than a little chance that Babette has a crush or two on various male characters, but knows because of how young she was turned that they would just remain crushes. Being simultaneously ten and three hundred and eighteen is incredibly difficult.

farkas
ya hear him howlin’ around your kitchen door
Who doesn't love Farkas? He grew up in the companions and has never known any home other than Jorrvaskr. He and his twin Vilkas are among the senior members of the circle, making them both werewolves and kind of awesome. He really has no loyalty other than to the companions, they were his family, his friends, and his entire future while he was growing up and now that he is an adult he knows nothing else. He is a little bit softer than his brother. He tries to be hard on the new recruits for their own good, but he becomes fond of them rather quickly. He lacks all of his brother’s intelligence but is by far the strongest of the companions. He helps train the new recruits, assigns them jobs, and generally just stands around looking like he owns the place. He is blood-kin to the Orcs and frequently travels through their strong holds. Really, everybody knows Farkas. [style=font-size: 14px;]Friends |
He will have plenty of these amongst the companions. There are no companions that he dislikes. sure Aela and Skjor pick on him, but he’s generally pretty good about it. He generally likes the townspeople of Whiterun and has several friend in the city guard. Anyone that the companions have filled a job for would probably fall into this category as well. He has no opinion on the war, and no bias towards anyone of any race, so there are no blocks on this list there.
Enemies
Few and far of these. Badits, outlaws, thieves, assassins, and all the other normal things that fall under bad would go here. His slower tendencies might upset some people. He is generally not one to make enemies if he can help it, but he’s not about to let bad people get away with being bad either.
Lovers
Farkas has no lovers yet. He does think that the Jarl’s wife is attractive, but other than that he’s been too focused on the companions to really think about the prospect of love. He wouldn’t just fall for anyone. They would probably have to be a member of the companions, and would probably have to have impressed him greatly in combat. He’s not going to be with any fair, delicate thing. He wants a warrior who can be his equal. Though a rogue who could out smart him would be attractive as well.
