Ylva had quite an adventure. For some reason unknown to her, someone had sent an assassin after her and her parents. The assassins managed to kill her parents but she had fled. She knew how to fight because of her father being a soldier in the Imperial Legion and had good weapons, due to him also being a blacksmith after he couldn't be in the army anymore. She, at a young age, always wanted to be like him. To be a blacksmith just like her father. Her parents encouraged her to do so, even allowing her to help. But now they were dead and she had to escape. she ran north and found herself in Skyrim, for she was from Cyrodiil. There, she was mistaken for a traitor with Stormcloaks as she was found in the company of Ulfric. She didn't know who he was or what he did or even what was going on, for she wasn't told anything about what was happening in Skyrim back at home in Cyrodiil.

She tried to be a blacksmith in Skyrim but was forced to take up the blade when several of her friends in Whiterun were killed by vampires. She joined the Dawnguard and set out to defeat Lord Harkon but befriended a vampire named Serana on the way. She eventually became Harbinger of the Companions and sought a way to destroy the Dark Brotherhood, who she blamed for wanting her dead, not knowing if it was them or not but she didn't like assassins.

She paid no mind to the mages and didn't get mixed up with the thieves in Riften. Though she did get really sick of some Nord man in Riften that kept throwing insults at her. She punched him out and got thrown in jail. She also got into a fight with the stableboy and a girl in Whiterun. She beat them all with just her bare hands. Every one she beat was a Nord and everyone thought she would lose, thinking "An Imperial stands no chance against a Nord." But she amazed them by beating all the Nords she got into a fist fight with, male or female.

That's basically her story. She does join up with the Legion and leads the Imperial Legion to victory, though she feels bad for having to kill Ulfric. She does comfort Ulfric before killing him though, despite being an Imperial, she whispers, "May Talos guide you."
