I like coming up with backstories. My little Dragonborn is named Katsumi. I use the "Alternate Start mod" so it isn't the general beginning. She is a Bosmer, originally chaotic neutral, but changed to lawful neutral. Katsumi was born in a small village in Elsweyr where she was raised by two older women, one a fellow bosmer, and the other a khajiit. Together they both raised her and trained her to be a thief. Not long after reaching adulthood, she left Elsweyr and her caretakers, and began heading to Cyrodiil to thieve and wreak havoc. Once she got there, however, she became bored because it wasn't as fun as she had hoped. Rumors of a Thieves Guild in Riften eventually reached her ears, and she took off at once. She never made it to Riften. Along the way, Katsumi was attacked by a group of vampires and left for dead in the wilds where she was later discovered by two Vigilants of Stendarr. She had contracted sanguinare vampiris from one of the vampires. The Vigilants cured her, took her to the Hall of the Vigilant and took care of her wounds. Katsumi ended up staying with them and joined their ranks, but still seeking a way into the Thieves Guild... until one day, after an afternoon of hunting dinner, Katsumi found the Hall of the Vigilant burned to the ground, the bodies of her friends mingling with those of vampires and their death hounds. Katsumi was lost for a while after that, left to wander Skyrim. Then, as she entered Whiterun, an orc approached her and urged her to join the Dawnguard, a group of vampire hunters. Katsumi then realized she had been spared that day for a reason, to join the Dawnguard and avenge her fallen comrades.
