TES Character Profile: Zenoya

  • Hey y'all!

I'm back with another character profile! This particular one I've been playing with awhile but I decided to write her up for roleplay purposes. I might be working on a story that involves her too. Oops. I'm excited to get to roleplay with her, so if anyone would like to, please let me know! I'm available on both this site and Discord!

Without further ado...

Backstory:
Zenoya was born in the Summerset Isles to Aldmeri Dominion Mages. They served in the Great War, but retired shortly after the signing of the White Gold Concordant. The fight opened the couple's eyes to true war, and that was something they never wished to participate in again. A few years later, the couple had Zenoya, and began to feel normal again.
When rumors began circulating about tensions within the Empire's provinces and a Second Great War, the two knew their young daughter would likely pulled into the coming conflict. With her best interest at heart, they left the comfort of the Summerset Isles and fled across Tamriel, seeking to be left alone by their old life.
They managed to make a living as traveling merchants, buying and selling goods between provinces. They were fairly successful, and eventually made their way into Skyrim from Morrowind. It was a mistake they had no time to regret as they were attacked on the road North of Windhelm.
Bandits were opportunistic across the country, but even more so when it came to preying on Mer. When they saw the elves alone on the road, they attacked the carriage. Initially, they planned on looting and letting them go, but the tensions between the Thalmor and Nords clouded their judgement. The bandits kidnapped the mages and their daughter, despite the fight the couple gave them. The Nords tortured the trio at their hideout for months until Zenoya's mother and father died from their injuries.
Zenoya was kept alive and suffered under the bandits for 7 years, doing whatever they asked. The only positives from her enslavement came from her forced labor. She learned how to work a forge, how to temper weapons and armor, and how to survive in the harsh Skyrim climates. Every other affliction would work against her physically and mentally. She began believing what the bandits told her: Altmer were evil, she was defenseless, and she would never leave.
Zenoya was released from bondage by chance when a group of College Mages tracked the bandits to the hideout in response to the clan attacking one of their students. They spared Zenoya and took her back to Winterhold to recover. They entrusted her to Nelacar in the inn, and checked regularly on her for the first few months.
While recovering, the two began growing close. Zenoya began to regain her trust in people, while Nelacar enjoyed the company of another Mer than wasn't condescending. He taught her spells to use a defense so she would never feel vulnerable again. Likewise, the college took a special interest in her, hoping to advance her skills themselves when she was old enough.
However, shortly after she was fully recovered, the Arch Mage was murdered and replaced. The same night, Nelacar mysteriously vanished, leaving her his belongings and a note explaining how proud he was of her and how sorry he was to leave. Zenoya was confused and scared, not having a plan or goal without the College or Nelacar, but she decided she wouldn't let them go so easily. Setting out with Nelacar's robes and armor alone, Zenoya began traversing Skyrim hoping to find a trace of her mentor.
Zenoya has spent the past three years working as a mercenary across the province. She refuses to trade in the robes and armor that belong to her mentor, hoping to return them one day. She tries to avoid Winterhold altogether as she no longer has an interest in the college, and memories of her time in the hold are painful. Her current hold is The Rift, as there's an abundance of crime and the climate is much warmer than the frozen wasteland of her youth.

  • She looks awesome and so intense. Very nice pictures Kendrix. I’m quite envious of yours and Blackbloods ability to come up with such expansive stories for your characters. I can write just enough to fit a quick snapshot.

    • Comparing me to BB? You flatter me. Haha. Don't sell yourself short though. Your builds are FAR better than anything I can come up with. :D
