HISTORY
Early life: Nira was born to a pair of merchants who loved her very much. She would have been raised well and in relative comfort if it wasn't for the fact her parents were murdered when she was only 5. Scarred by this, the young khajiit found herself on the streets, learning from the other street urchins and doing everything she could to survive. She earned the "Dar" title to her name when she was caught trying to sneak food from vendors...though she didn't realize for some time that the one who gave her the title was a bit senile and actually gave her a male title. She went on like this, learning to sneak and be light on her paws until she was a young adult.

Young Adulthood: When Nira blossomed into a lovely young woman, her life only changed because she needed to shift her method of survival. When she was of a matured age, she took to a less-than-noble profession that had her standing on street corners and earning payment instead of stealing it. She always planned to save up and eventually get a better life, but this was changed when a merchant lord made a request of her that she had to refuse. Angered, he ordered her beaten and ripped out her left eye, stating that she would die in the streets if she would not have him. Determined to not be pushed around like that anymore and to finally take control of her life, she used what little savings she had and bought a second hand suit of armor and sword so that she could train. She trained hard, but she started out slowly...taking on small jobs until she felt she had to take a risk. A shame that risk found her as the victim of a vampire that caught her while she was resting. The vampire used her and bled her almost dry, and she would have died there if not for another vampire that took pity on her and offered her a choice. To her, it was a choice between dying a failure who never amounted to anything and never found out what happened to her parents, or living on as what others would see as a monster while having that chance at redemption. There was only one choice for her to take.

Recent: As Nira got used to her new condition, she put twice as much work into her training and soon found that she had a natural talent for illusions and alteration, plus something her sire called "Shadow Magic" (Which is what Nightblades tend to use). She put these skills to good use guarding a small group of mages who wished to learn without the oversight of the Mage's Guild. She learned how to disguise herself and made many friends...but when the mages stopped coming around, she found herself alone and wandering again until she found herself in Vulkwasten where she was offered the possibility of work and friends. How could she refuse?

INVENTORY: Nira keeps her armor and weapons close by, but with or without them she never goes anywhere without her gold, a few lockpicks, and some general items for grooming. She also never goes anywhere without her eyepatch because that would be gross. Finally, she is often followed by what looks like a small gray housecat, but it is actually her Alfiq companion Myri, who acts as a set of eyes for Nira but is really just good company.
