Thistle is a simple hunter who is content selling her prey and living her life... She has little use for nobles or as she calls them "high and mighties"... Although local law abiding (for the most part) she can often be seen lugging her wares around or singing in a tavern after a few beers... She will regard Khajiit with severe suspicion and while not openly hostile... she would be hard pressed to have a conversation with one. If one begins talking politics she may put her fingers in her ears with an unladylike "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" quality. You may also find her smoking a pipe.

Why is your character in Dominion territory? How did they get here?
Born and raised here, Thistle has seen very little of the world at large. She rather sell her wares to merchants and let them do the traveling.

Background
Thistle is the only child born to her Breton father and Bosmer mother.... Her father made a decent living selling his catches and built furnishings to local and travelling merchants a like... From the time she could walk she stuck to her father's side... Learning how to build traps and hunt game... She became particularly skilled fetching rabbits. When her father was away in town Thistle would sit with her mother and learn to whittle little figurines that were given as gifts or sold...

A travelling merchant Khajiit started to come around when her father would be away.... First he merely purchased figurines from her mother for coin.... then one day he traded her a bottle of "spirits" instead... It was then that her mother became addicted to skooma... Thistle and her father found her lifeless body next to a spilled out bottle after coming home from a hunt....

Her father kept Thistle by his side at all times... Never leaving the confines of their comfortable forest home... He insisted no good can come of leaving what you already know.... What is safe... When asked by townspeople why Thistle was in the market instead of school he would reply that everything she needed to know he could teach her... At night she could hear her father weeping for her mother.... At 16... her father succumbed to his broken heart... Thistle buried them together by her home.

Thistle then began to fend for herself with her hunting and occasional furniture making... She still whittles in the evening while smoking on her father's pipe...
