Name: Meike (Stormblade)

Gender: Female

Race: Nord

Okay, so this is a long one.

Meike's family come from Falkreath. When the Aldmeri Dominion attacked Cyrodill and trouble rising in Hammerfell near the border, her parents decided to get far away from the conflict and relocate to the island of Solstheim, where her father's brother lived.

In Solstheim, Meike's parents had two children; a son, Ales, and a daughter, Meike. The family lived quite peaceful lives in a Skaal village.

As they got older, Ales and Meike grew tired of the 'mundane' way of life on Solstheim. Ales heard tales from travellers of the Stormcloak Rebellion in Skyrim and felt obliged to sign up and fight for his parent's homeland. Meike and Ales were inseparable, and so Meike was to travel to Skyrim also, though unsure of what would become of her once she was there.

They travelled together through the pass in Morrowind taken by Dunmer refugees, who helped the siblings on their way, sharing food and resources, and giving Meike the respect of the Dunmer she shows even today.

As the pair reached Darkwater Crossing, they were caught in the Imperial ambush. Ales immediately rushed to aid the Stormcloaks, but was caught by an Imperial arrow and fell. Meike had little time to grieve for her brother before her capture, where she learns of her important role in saving Nirn.

Her grief for Ales inspired her to aid Ulfric Stormcloak lead his victorious campaign to take Skyrim from the Empire, fulfilling Ales's goal, and her own of finding her destiny in Skyrim.
