Personality
Having been abandoned by her father; her only blood relative living, Sorcha was forced to leave childish things alone at a very young age. This has made Sorcha into the stoic young woman she is today. Although she has a touch of bitterness about her. Because of this Sorcha may come across as a bit of a smart-aleck. She is hardworking and never gives up when she decides she wants something.

Although stoic and enduring; Sorcha has extremely immature moments. Her temper is short and has gotten her in trouble with the mages at Winterhold numerous times. She is also naive. She would go with anyone who offered her safe travel if it meant she would be able to leave Winterhold. Somehow she has retained her job as the Colleges cleaning lady.

Working at the College has it's negative effects on Sorcha. She is almost ostracized by the other Nords of Winterhold although Sorcha wonders if this had something to with her father and why he left her there. Beneath Sorcha's bristled appearance lies a little girl who wants for a family of her own. She does not know who her mother was and or is and any other family she might have is also information Sorcha is not aware of. Despite this Sorcha is driven to do for herself and does not accept help from others easily.

Sorcha is painfully prideful. She stays at in an available room in the College and some of the other people in Winterhold think little of her. She has ended up in more than one scrape on the streets with men and women. Most people think her a beggar and when someone voices that opinion she is quick to insult and argue.


HistorySorcha was born in Winterhold. She was born to a woman and a man who were not married although it seemed as though they loved each other as a married couple should. Over time, once Sorcha was born and her mother gave her her name; Sorcha which meant Bright, the couple seemed to fall into pieces. A terrible illness had settled onto Sorcha's mother and after two weeks of Sorcha's life she was given to a wetnurse. This crushed the mother's spirit. She felt as if she was not good enough to even feed her child. One more week past and her mother died while holding little Sorcha one last time.

Her father did not want the child. He mourned for what he lost and, unfortunately, blamed Sorcha for his beloved's death. For seven more years he took care of Sorcha's basic needs but never was he a father. He bore his own private torture for seven years before he attempted to take Sorcha's life but ended up unable to do so. Sorcha looked too much like the woman he wanted back. He fled Winterhold and never came back.

Sorcha's wetnurse took her in as one of her own although Sorcha had grown cold by then and never really viewed the woman as anything more than an annoyance. The woman had taken her in by sheer obligation. It would of looked bad on her if she hadn't. So there they were. On the cliffs of Winterhold without a shred of love between them. As Sorcha grew so did her wily antics. The older version of Sorcha was a terror and after four years her caregiver had grown tired of her and threw her onto the streets to fend for herself in the cold.

Sorcha went home. Although it was not much of one. She quickly learned many ways of survival and could masterfully build fires and even hunt small animals in the wild. From the time she was eleven until she was fifteen Sorcha lived like a wild girl, never speaking to anyone only stealing and scavenging the woods for food. She had found a set of knives left by her father and also a cuff piece to some old armor and for some sentimental reason she kept it around her small ankle. She could catch small animals with ease at the age of thirteen and could skin them and even debone them like the gore was nothing to her. She stopped stealing and sold her meat in the main area of the town eventually and began to live in a bit better condition.

Sorcha still trusted no one and could be very hard to deal with. Sorcha caught wind of the need of maids for the College of Winterhold before long and sought employment there. Due to her success in her own expeditions a few of the mages thought her character was likable for some strange reason and hired her on. They even bought her more lady-like clothing and took her out of the small now-shack thing she called home. Although Sorcha treads carefully around magic she no longer fears it but still refuses to attempt it.
