The Altmer girl had grown tall; taller than her Bosmer parents That isn't now it works. In TES a child is always the same race as the mother (Unless magic is involved or something) so two Bosmer cannot have an Altmer child. Ahem. You didn't really read the story, did you ? Legate Fasendil rescued her as an infant from the " Night of Green Fire " where Altmer dissidents were slaughtered by the Thalmor in Cyrodiil. He then left her with a Bosmer couple to be raised as their own. He is an Imperial Military commander, and would not have the necessary facility to raise a child himself, so he fostered T'auriel with a Bosmer couple. This is the big Secret her parents will have to reveal to her when she shows up at home with the ' Bound Bow ' spell. This explains via my story why she is an Altmer, but shoots a bow nearly as well as a Bosmer. I designed her as an Archer/Conjuror. That is why she as an adult seeks both Legate Fasendil and the College of Winterhold in Skyrim, and has sworn vengeance on the Thalmor, who slaughtered her parents and all the other Altmer dissedents who had fled from the Dominion in that one Elven settlement. And as far as her having access to a ' Bound Bow ' spell before Helgen, well, I played with that one a bit. I for sure obtained it as quickly as possible in game. Because it rocks.
