Nonetheless, a Breton character does stay somewhat lore-friendly to the canon story, technically having Nord blood in him since the race is a mix breed of either Altmer and Nords or Atmoran and Aldmer, the former of which are the primary ancestors of modern-day Nordic people. Since the Dragon Shouts are/can be considered a form of magic, it fits in well with the fact that a Breton is naturally attuned to magic, not to mention they tend to keep the human-like appearence that a default Nord Dragonborn is typically portrayed as, given that a Breton's physical appearence is generally more man than mer, but as far as their inner abilities and blood goes, they are much more strongly attuned to their elven ancestors due to their magical prowess and intelligence.
