Name: Sh'Zirah, or more commonly Zirah
Age: Mid 30s
Race: Khajiit
Sex: Female
Skills: Deadly with daggers and bows. Mild talent with illusion magic. Strong affinity for light armor crafting and alchemy.
Appearance: Small but very muscular, light grey fur and dark braids. Sh'Zirah makes most of her attire herself out of materials such as bone, leather, or fur. This includes a fur-lined bodice made of hardened leather, bone and leather arm wraps, and thick fur boots which were once muffled by a local enchanter. Over the years she has also collected many trophies from fallen enemies including a circlet which boosts her illusion capabilities, a ring of true shot, and a silver necklace of fortify blade. A forsworn hunting bow and several silver daggers round out her gear.
Background: Sh'Zirah was born to a local caravan group in the province of Eastmarch somewhere around 4E 128. At a young age her family was attacked by marauders and killed while she herself was left for dead. As luck would have it a local farmer, Sigund, saw smoke and came to investigate finding young Zirah in the wreckage and taking her home with him. He raised her as his own child, training her in the ways of farming, hunting, fishing, and living off the land. She also learned how to make her own bow, arrows, and light leather armor under his tutelage. By the age of 16 she had grown into a capable huntress, living in the forest for days or weeks at a time then returning home to Sigund with her skins and furs to be sold to local traders for profit. Within a few years Sigund's health had begun to fade and eventually he passed on. Having no other children he left the entirety of his homestead to Zirah, however the Jarl refuced to honor Sigund's wishes stating that Zirah was not his next of kin and Khajiit were not to own property in Eastmarch. Bitterly, Zirah returned to the woods with only her weapons and the clothes on her back. She lives a nomadic lifestyle ranging from Riften to Falkreath, occasionally stopping by local merchants to sell her wares or buy a drink.
Personality: Zirah is somewhat bitter and slow to trust others. She tends to use dark humor and sarcasm as a shield to keep people at a distance.
