Nisrrina's backstory brainstorming

Nisrrina's Personality/biography concepts

Q. WHY IS SHE AN ASSASSIN?
A. She wants power; in a sense of "being respected". Not to control others. Wants to make others know she's not weak.

Q. WHY DOES SHE WANT TO BE RESPECTED?
---------------------CONCEPTS-------------------
Something in her past made her that way.
Father abuse?
Father killing mother?
Ends up killing father and realizes that killing others makes people respect her?
Possibly picks up hunting/killing from her mother, hones it into assassination.



Q. WHAT'S HER PERSONALITY?
A. Comes off as a cold, distant person. Doesn't like to be played around with. Confident about her skills as an assassin. Possibly more open to around females than males (because of her father abusing her, mostly hitting. Breaking point came from when her father tried to rape her when she started maturing into an adult.) Mostly like to spend her time hunting/taking jobs from the Night Mother in the Dark Brotherhood.

When killing, she feels more at peace with herself. However that does not mean that she kills anything she likes. But because it combines the thing that her mother has taught her as well as getting rid of those who are unwanted.



Early life (With family)
-----------------------------
As a child, Nisrrina grew up with her mother and her father. Her mother hunted deer/elk as well as capturing fish in order to provide the family with food while the father was a merchant that sold trinkets and archery equipment. The father suffers from severe withdrawal from Skooma and Moonsugar (possibly due to being introduced to it by the mother whom regretted the decision after Nisrrina was born) The father went through intense cravings, on and off through Nisrrina's childhood (Maybe bought some from skooma dealers in secrecy to ease his cravings but only became worse) As for Nisrrina, she and her mom spent a lot of time together during her hunts, which created an extremely strong bond between them. The Mother also teaches Nis how to lay down traps, make poisoned arrows, and stalk prey.

Eventually the father becomes desperate and argues with the mother for more skooma, which ultimately ends up with the father killing Nis's mother in front of her.

After the incident, the father continued to raise Nis by himself, still selling his merchandise while Nisrrina takes up hunting. During their time together, the Father takes out his anger in the lost of his wife by constantly berating and abusing Nisrrina, possibly under the influence of more skooma withdrawals. As Nis matures, the father tries to rape her. Nis ends up killing her father due to pent up aggression and distaste for him, as well as defending herself.


Early life (Post family)
-----------------------------
After killing her father, Nis ends up using her survival tactics to live off the land. Thanks to her mother, she learned quite a bit in order to hunt and defend herself. During this time, she practices her skills in archery/alchemy and hones them almost to perfection, even up to a point where she would hunt down Bears and Sabers on her own. But for her, living off the land wasn't really enough for her.


--------IDEAS FOR NISRRINA TO JOIN DARK BROTHERHOOD----------
1. One of the members of the Dark Brotherhood noticed her talents at killing/stalking bigger predators. They end up asking her to join.
2. She stumbles across the entrance, one of the members tries to kill her but Nisrrina was able to hold her own. They offer to let her join and explains what they are all about and she accepts.


After joining the Dark Brotherhood, Nisrrina ended up fitting fairly well with them. Time passes and after she takes up a few marks on her own, the Dark Brotherhood is tasked to take down Veitizion, an Argonian mercenary. Due to how fierce their mark was, most of the members was either unsure or afraid with taking up the challenge considering he has taken lives from them before. However, Nisrrina accepts. Her group warns her about what she has gotten herself into and also tells Nis they won't blame her if she fails.

Nisrrina tracks down Veitizion and attempts to take him by surprise but fails, only to be brutally injured. She tries to retaliates but Veitizion ends up snapping the sword in half with only his bare hands. Before Veit is about to kill her, she falls into a state of emotional depression (at the thought she was not able to kill her target for the first time)
