EDIT: She never had preycanthrope, turns out the scent from being a previous werewolf just takes a long time to wear off, and she just had bad luck running into violent lycanthropes.

Physical Description

Casual Outfit * Travel Outfit * Normal Outfit

Ma'Sura is a lithe build khajiit. While not the smallest or skinniest, she's still obviously on the smaller side for a Suthay. She's left handed with longer fur that's constantly cleaned, with a poof at the end of her tail. She has a smaller chest, with thicker arms and legs, and a gut that extends slightly.

She has a rounder face with a more protruding square muzzle, and large deep blue eyes. The hair around her ears has outgrown, and she allows her hair to fall long despite it not being the norm for khajiit females, due to her breton upbringing. She sports subtle tiger stripes, and the tip of her nose has a darker shade of fur than the rest of her body (signified with a burn scar in game).

Personality

Ma'Sura has multiple dynamics that alter her behavior. First off, she is very mentally weak; easy to persuade, influence, intimidate, anger, etc. She's quick to jump into a fight to break it up or prove a point, even though she isn't a capable fighter. Even with this mentality, she has a huge heart, and doesn't want to see anyone hurt. This doesn't stop her from trying to rob people at knife point though.

She has recently become interesting in khajiit culture, this does things she thinks a khajiit would do for that reason alone, such as stealing things then bragging about it to their face, conning people with mind games or backwards logic, speaking in third person however only when referring to her body (talks about her soul are always in 1st person). On top of all of this, she has a hatred of argonians and a fear of large bodies of water due to a near death experience.

Why is your character in Dominion territory? How did they get here?
She snuck in from northern lands because she heard rumors her mother moved to this area. Her primary motive for sticking around is to find clues, and eventually locate her mother, whom she hasn't seen since birth.

Background

Ma'Sura Harlan was left in the car of a Breton family at a young age with her sister, Notsu Harlan. Their father, Ra'Hazdara, fought in a Wayrest militia, and left his kids in The Reach to survive the flu. However, when the two sisters learned their adoptive parents were cultists, they fled into Falkreath, where eventually Notsu was scratched by a werewolf and fled, leaving Ma'Sura alone to hunt her sister.

After a few years, she located her sister in The Rif, and chased her to Eastmarch as she went feral. Calling upon Hircine to give her strength to join her sister, she became a werewolf to overpower her sister and beat her into submission. With her sister secure, she took them to both be cured, however this abusive of his power did not sit well with Hircine, who cursed Ma'Sura with a special strain of lycanthropy that prevents any form of transformation, but provides a weakness to silver, a strong scent that attracts were creatures, and subtly drives them to violence.

Dealing with this, she fled back to High Rock which is more wary of were creatures, to reduce her chances of encountering them. Instead what she countered, while fishing on her boat, an argonian admirer who wanted her to himself. He pulled her under and nearly drowned her, but she fought her way to the shore, where her friends witnessed the lizard stab her in the back, killing her.

Before her soul left her body, she was quickly revived, leaving her soul in a damaged state. This side effects are many, but the most relevant one is the ability to astral project without any training. However, without this training, her body is left helpless, she can't navigate the astral realm without emotional connections guiding her, or materialize her soul in the physical one. If she can latch onto another soul, she can observe their dreams while they are asleep, however beyond therapy for people she cares about, this ability is dangerous and has no real benefit.

Eventually, after meeting her father again, she learned her mother moved to Vulkwaston after leaving her husband. Eager to meet her mother and learn of her family history, Ma'Sura joined with her friends and now cyrodilic ranger of a sister to travel to Valenwood, where she is currently residing until she picks up a trail to where her mother may be.
