For me in these sorts of games i like to take a character who's canon story had a bad ending (to me) and give them a new life. So without further ado, let me present to you the (in progress, so i'll update it at important points) story of.... Quinnus Fabrei (or Quinn Fabray to those lucky to get past her safety walls built up over the years).

Quinn was born to an Imperial father and a Nord mother, Rusiel Fabrei (Russel to his business associates) and Jofund Windcaller (who was quickly renamed to Judy after their marriage to distance Russel from the notoriety of having a wife of that particular heritage).

Quinn had as normal childhood as you would expect from someone of her station, though she had always felt her destiny was more than just regularly attending social functions that her father was invited to due to his prominent staus in Cyrodil (and how right she was). Unlike many of her peers she had private training from many of the city's elite warriors in swordsmanship, archery and horse riding. She also had some training in alchemy and did an apprenticeship at a local blacksmith. Undoubtedly though, her biggest advantage? Her quick wit and sharp tongue which she used to get out of much trouble as a child.

This life continued up until the day of her 18th birthday when it was discovered that she had fallen pregnant to a local street ruffian that she had befriended as a child. To try and cover the boys involvement she covered for him by letting the son of a less important noble (though slightly more important than the real father) be named as father. Unfortunately for this boy Russel had contacts even in the White Gold Tower so he was able to get the boy quickly executed and the real father quickly followed his head off the block.

Quinn herself did not escape punishment either, she was thrown out of her home after her child's (a daughter) birth. The child was quickly made to disappear to Honorhall orphanage in the city of Riften. Quinn then fled Cyrodil and wandered around for months until finally crossing the border in to Skyrim after having heard the rumors of Ulfric's uprising.

She arrived in the village of Darkwater Crossing just as the skirmish Ulfric's forces were engaging in was finishing. Choosing to pick up a sword she was able to kill a lone Imperial soldier before another after recognizing her, knocked her out with a blow to the head.

Upon awakening and learning of her situation from a cart mate (Ralof) she realized where she was being taken to and how quickly it would all be over. Upon arrival in Helgen and being added to the execution list (after a sackful of septims sent in advance by her ex father) she was put to the block herself.

After being kicked down to the block with the words "Russell Fabray sends his regards." Whispered in her ear she sent a prayer out to the 9 Divines. Before the executioners axe could fall however, she heard the cry of a dragon, a beast she thought was just a creature from her stories as a child. Unknowingly to her at the time the dragon's cry was the word "dovahkiin." This dragon attacked, quickly disrupting the scene and allowing her to escape in to a nearby tower that the man Ralof pointed out to her.

(I'm gonna stop here, congrats if you read all of it).
