My current character build is an orphaned half dunmer (mother side)/half imperial (father side) from Cyrodiil. Father was conscripted into the Empire army during the Great War and is currently missing in action. Mother was killed during a Thalmor raid. She is currently in Skyrim following up on a lead that her father was transferred to the legion there. She holds the Empire responsible for the loss of her parents. While she hasn't fully sided with the Stormcloaks (yet?), she is definitely a sympathizer.

There are a few things with the second one that I don't get.

1. If the Thalmor killed her mother, she should know that an independent Skyrim that goes to war with the Dominion is bound to get destroyed, shouldn't she side with the Empire, and try to wait until it has recovered enough strenght? 2. If her father is in the Legion, why would she join the Stormcloaks? That would mean she could be ordered to kill her father and vice-versa. Not to forget that her fellow Stormcloaks might also run into him and kill him. Wouldn't it be better if she and her father stood side by side?
