The only backstory I have so far I quickly assembled from talking to Serana.

Race: Redguard

Name: Raela (Suda)

Class:

Backstory: Raela grew up a modest life with her Redguard parents. Even though they were closely related to the noble house Suda, her family preferred to live in earnest, instead of living extravagantly. Make no mistake however. Even though house Suda spent vast amounts of gold. They were a catalyst in pushing back the Aldmeri Dominion. Her parents were loving, but also stern. Her father taught her everything he knew about combat. Her mother taught her more of the 'womanly' tasks. But don't be fooled, her mother was a fierce warrior. And taught Raela moves her father could've never taught her. .  Barely Eighteen, Hammerfell had pushed back the Aldmeri Dominion. However, during the resistance her parents were killed. Out of fear and pain, Raela payed a caravan to drop her half way to Skyrim. She wanted to forge a new life there, and forget all of the pain. But first, she had to deal with the person who caused her parents death. Iman Suda, or 'Saadia', now. Her first cousin. Sold out their house to the Aldmeri Domion, the result, costing her parents lives. She would pay. As soon as she crossed the border she was  ambushed, taken to Helgen, and sentenced to death. She however, did not blame the Imperial Legion for her execution. It was just a corrupted guard. And maybe Hadvar's sympathetic and guilt clouded eyes helped. Because of Alduin, the Stormcloaks escaped, as well as her. She was ever so grateful for Ralof's help. But a little voice prodded her to follow Hadvar into the keep. It would be that voice's actions, that would cause her to cross blades with her Acquaintance, Ralof much to her dismay. After escaping the keep, and witnessing first hand the savagry of the Stormcloaks, she was shocked. When she escaped the Keep with Hadvar, despite his suggestion to split up she followed. Along the way finding her birthsign (the Warrior) and learning the Imperial's side of the story. Convinced to join the Imperial Legion, she promised her new friend (and soon to be more) that she would join the Legion, eventually. After returning the Golden Claw to Lucan, she was off on an important journey to Whiterun for Alvor. The end result being giving a old stone to Farengar Secret Fire, fighting a dragon, realizing she was Dragonborn, becoming Thane of Whiterun, and meeting her soon to be good friend Lydia. It was by sheer luck, that Raela came across the Alik'r. Instantly taking this chance to collect gold, while exacting her revenge on 'Saadia'.''' If you would like to learn more of her, I'd be delighted to share! :)'''
