HISTORY Naariko was born to an extremely influential family of Altmer in Summerset Isles. Her life growing up would be that of a spoiled brat, being handed nearly anything and everything that could possibly be given to her. Why? She was a specimen of what an Altmer should be. With a good form, she was strong, intelligent, and had a natural inclination for the use of both dark and light magics. She couldn't have made her Altmer family more proud, as they had a daughter to present to the Atlmeri. As Thalmor, it was imperative that they had a child that could take on their legacy and pass it to her own young.

At a young age, her family was asked to oversee the goings on of the embassy in Skyrim, so they packed their belongings and moved to the wintery lands that Naariko would live in for the rest of her life. Growing up, she was subject to the the finest tutors not only in various educational subjects, but also the best mages to instruct her on the ways of the magics. Unfortunately, however, because of her parents doting on her, she had gotten quite spoiled, and so she had problems listening to authority, especially with how gifted of a mage she was naturally. She got herself into mischief around the embassy, some of it worse than others. Despite all knowing it was her, she covered her tracks just well enough so that no one could ever be able to pin anything directly onto her - especially without upsetting her parents. And so they came up with the plan to send her to the college in Winterhold, not only to advance her natural talents further, but to get a rein on her insolent behavior.

Her life at Winterhold started when she was a 'young woman', and there she spent many of the following years. At first, it was the same as it had been in the embassy - creating mischief and not allowing it to be pinned on her. Unfortunately, however, here she had no doting parents in which to hide behind, and was given severe punishment for various things that she did. She quickly learned, given discipline, what was proper behavior and what was not - though she's never quite dropped her sly attitude.

There, her magical abilities only intensified, and she eagerly - and arrogantly - learned all she could from her trainers. It was there, too, that she met what would eventually be her husband. It wasn't very long before she found herself drawn to his power and stature, and in the following years, they studied more anatomy than what was given in general schooling.

But as all things, it had to end. Eventually she was called back to the embassies, and was parted from Tyer. There, she would join the embassies as an aide to an older Thalmor. Over the next period of her life, Naariko would climb in the ranks of the Thalmor, until she was highly respected, both for her magical abilities and her attitude. It was during that time, as well, that her parents were killed in the Great Collapse of Winterhold - where they had been going to watch certain nord activities. She hardly mourned their death. She was seventy nine years old when that happened.

And once again she met up with her previous lover from her younger years in the college of Winterhold, as he joined the embassies as well as a Thalmor. It didn't take long for their passion to reignite, and when she was ninty years old, they were married - something they asked of the Dominion having spent much time with other races in their younger years.

For twenty five years they remained married, until the Great War began - which of course Naariko took a part in. Though not being in the front lines, she nonetheless was one of the manly Altmer that fought in that bloody battle, and was alive to see the treaty be signed. Four bloody years of combat made her not so fond of wars, still, it was her duty and so she completed it, happy to be able to be with her husband once it ended.

It was very shortly after that when she became pregnant, eventually giving birth first to a son, and a few years later to a daughter. Despite being disappointed in the son that they had created - and wondering how on Tamriel they had produced such an odd child, she was nonetheless proud of their daughter, who was both intelligent and powerful. When he came of age, Naariko sent her son to the embassies to be 'straightened out' by Elenwen and the other Thalmor, while her daughter was taken to the college of Witnerhold.

It was only recently, however, that a magical piece found by the college - and visited by herself and her husband - has effected their minds, causing them to get a lust for power. And so, their march to become the king and queen of Winterhold and wipe out the Stormcloaks in that area has begun.

PERSONALITY

Arrogant - True to the stereotype of her race, Naariko has from a very young age thought even more of herself than perhaps she should have. Being raised the only daughter of a very important family, along with being spoiled and indulged and told she was the product of perfect selective breeding, it's really no wonder she became as arrogant as she did. This has only increased after she's had her skills as a mage increased and gotten more power.

Sly - Despite nearly always turning the tides in her favor as to what she desires or wants, Naariko is often very sly and even quiet about doing so. She likes to sneak around behind the scenes and then watch from afar as things fall into place just as she has wanted them to. And they always fall into place, since when she goes about doing something, she attends to even the smallest detail. Yes, she's very cunning and often uses her intelligence to deceive others.

Mischievous - Even further beyond her cunning nature is her mischievous side. Naariko has had this trait due to being indulged, and is very fond of causing trouble or bringing harm upon others. Over the years, this trait has become almost a hobby or pastime, one she enjoys as much as others might enjoy some other form of 'relaxation.' And though she likes to have others be sure that it is her that's doing the things she's doing, Naariko always covers her tracks just enough so that no one can truly pin the behavior or problem on her.

Passionate - Always having had a real zeal for living, Naariko has never been bored by any means. When she has something in her sights or is on the track to accomplishing something she needs or wants, she will not quit, being driven by a sort of heady passion to do what she desires. On the flip side of that coin, is that she has this same extreme passion for the Altmer that has been hear husband for fifty five years now. Her recent bout of near crazy behavior has seemed to only increase her passion for him so as to have turned into what one might call lust. Whether it be for her husband, power, or another desire of hers, Naariko is driven toward obtaining what she wants.

Major Skills.
Alteration - Defined as 'the School of Alteration involves the manipulation of the physical world and its natural properties. This skill makes it easier to cast spells like Waterbreathing, magical protection, and Paralysis.', Naariko has become very skilled at manipulating things to her advantage. Because of her ability to magically protect herself, she remains free from armor and only relies on magic to keep herself free from harm.

Illusion - Illusion is that of changing the viewpoint of what is happening to the target in which you are attempting to do so to. Perhaps her devious nature has made her strive to become proficient at this particular skill, but Naariko does enjoy toying with any she's in battle with by casting some illusion spells to put them in chaos.

Restoration - Because Naariko doesn't rely on any armor when she fights, but only her magical barrier, there is the possibility of severe injury and definitely minor ones. It's smart of her, in this case, to have become adept at the skill of restoration to be able to heal herself if anyone or anything does get past her magical barriers.

Destruction - Because she views any sort of physical weapon as barbaric - especially for a female to wield - she relies purely on her destruction magic and does not carry a blade or bow with her. She normally focuses primarily on shock attacks, but she's also very able with the various other types. Still, because she only fights with magic, there is the possibility that any highly skilled in melee attacks or with a blade might be able to overwhelm her.

Conjuration - Perhaps the least of her abilities, Naariko is still able in this area of magic as well, though she hardly relies on it in a fight. Despite that, if she does find herself in more of a pinch, Naariko has been known to summon creatures to fight by her side, and will use them as a way to disengage herself from a battle and flee to safety before she starts another frontal assault.


Weapons, Armor, and Belongings.
Sphinx - A cat-like animal from Hammerfell, Naariko paid a very hefty price for a hunter to capture a baby for her to raise. Since becoming an adult, it now can be seen often with her mistress, even sitting on her lap while she's sitting or sitting regally at her side otherwise. Taarie is the name of her companion.
