Alana Pontus

She is an Imperial thief/tomb raider. She came to Skyrim to make her fortune and got caught at the borders. She then went to Riften where she heard rumors about the Thieves Guild. She was accepted right away after handleling a few debt beats without any problem (She likes to keep her blade as clean as possible). Goldenglow was an easy as pie assignement for her and she managed to evade the guards by using her arrows. When the time to destroy the hives came a dragon attacked and made a mess out of them. After this disaster, she was given a second chance and was sent to Whiterun Hold where she discovered about her dragonborn powers(The dragon actually attacked Goldenglow after i defeated Mirmulnir but i pretended that the Goldenglow attack was like a flashback she had while fighting Mirmulnir). She accomplished her mission for Maven but before getting back to Riften she met the Greybeards and then Delphine(she doesn't like Delphine's paranoid attitude and only tolerates her and after slaying Salokhnir, she let her prepare the Embassy break in) For the following months she would do multiple jobs for the Guild and under a year the Guild made more coin than they ever did for the past 25 years (crazy i know but Karliah said she was on the run for that period of time) Of course when Mercer finally tracked down Karliah, she almost paid it with her life(throughout the tomb Mercer kept getting detected even though I was still hidden. I think he was trying to get me killed. Oh wait). After this, she wasn't sure who to trust but she followed Karliah's plan and confronted the Guild who apparently never checks their vaults once in a while to make sure it is not being emptied by someone like Mercer Frey. She was later made Nightingale, defeated Mercer and returned the key but not because of Nocturnal (she doesn't care about a daedric prince machinations). She returned the key because of her loyalty to the Guild. She was made Guold master but she only makes the plans for heists and leaves actual management to the professionnals like Delvin, Vex and Brynjolf. As of now she is more of an adventurer than a thief and she prefers to steal from bandits because it is more thrilling to try and evade dangerous marauder than housewives. She also has a soft spot for children and is always gives to the begging one like Sophie and Lucia (She might adopt them at one point). She also tries to be legit by helping out some of the shop owners she used to steal from (Oh the irony) but she is still a thief in her heart and will rob you if you piss her off like that Nazeem guy in Whiterun or the Thalmor because she happened to be near a shrine of Talos. Delphine has finally made all the preparation and she might be on her biggest heist yet: the Thalmor Embassy.

Alana is a skilled archer and a descent bladesmans but she prefers to keep her blade sheathed and her arrows on her quiver. She is sneaky and fast. She can figure out how a lock works in no time even dwarven locks (That's my explanation for the same interface on all locks). She is very good at pickpocketing to a point where people won't even notice when they don't have their weapons anymore. She is a good alchemist and is working on a formula that might make her arrows explode on touch (mod). She also knows quite a bit about smithing. She always uses the best bow available when she is on a fight and has even augmented some of her bows with scopes (mod). She prefers to avoid using lethal shouts and uses those that can cripple of fool people to sneak past them. She prefers to just steal rather than murdering. In fact she hates killing and only does it in self defense (I have yet to complete the main quest with this one. In fact i've only completed the Thieves Guild questline with her. She is one my favorite characters since its the first time i decuded to avoid killing npcs as much as i could even bandits. I use invisibility potions to get in, pickpocket all of their stuff, take their treasure ant get out. It is so much more fun.)
