this is a super confusing character log for daewen. because i've played two different saves of the same character under different coditions, parts of her story change. for example, when i'm her on xbox she is married to farkas, a companion and a werewolf. on pc, she's married to brynjolf and never met farkas. she'll always have cicero though.

What do you know about this character that she doesn't know yet?
What is this character's greatest flaw?
What do you know about this character that she would never admit?
What is this character's greatest asset?
If this character could choose a different identity, who would she be?
What music does this character sing when no one is around?
The Age of Aggression. She requested it from a song list given to her by a bard in the Bannered Mare without knowing it was a pro-imperial song. Although she disagrees with the line "Down with Ulfric, the killer of kings" she finds it super catchy.
In what or whom does this character have the greatest faith?
Mjoll the Lioness: Recovering Grimsever for Mjoll was one of the best things Daewen ever did, in her opinion. After that, Mjoll agreed to accompany her on her adventures, and even looked past the fact that Daewen had joined the Thieves Guild, a group that Mjoll often spoke her hatred of.
Mjoll values good friends, and Daewen has always been one to her, and now Daewen can trust that Mjoll will always have her back. If they're out together, she knows that (once she catches up, the difference in their types of armours keeps Mjoll from moving as quickly as Daewen does) Mjoll will always be right there in the fight keeping the bandits, creatures and forsworn away.
Cicero: As the Listener for the Night Mother Cicero will obey Daewen's every word without fail. He's a little bit annoying, though.
Farkas: He's a tasty werewolf. The two bonded over their fear of frostbite spiders. The two dated for a while, but Daewen's reluctance to join the Companions/Adventuring away and Farkas' being busy with Companions things caused the two to break up, but remain very close friends.
Does this character have a favourite article of clothing? Favourite shoes?
Guildmaster Armour set. (xbox timeline)
Rogue outfit or ancient falmer armour, deathbell flower crown (pc timeline)
Name this character's favourite person. (Living or dead)
Describe this character's most embarrassing moment.
She tends to accidentally Dragonrend things instead of using Unrelenting Force?
What is this character's deepest regret?
Never getting to the vampires soon enough. She's lost a few good friends to them and wishes that she'd been more alert. Now she always checks behind her when entering a town a night just in case. She has left the Dawnguard behind, however. She only worked with them to stop Harkon and the vampire attacks, and will only go back to Fort Dawnguard to check in on Serana and Beleval.
What is this character's greatest fear?
Frostbite Spiders.
Describe this characters most devastating moment.
Once she walked into the Riften hall of the dead, it must have been after a vampire attack, and was seeing who had died and found Aerin's coffin. She had no idea that Aerin had died, or how long ago it had been. Now Mjoll walks around Riften on her own. It's pretty sad.
What is this characters greatest achievement?
Becoming Guild Master for the Thieves Guild. Yes, she's rid the world of a dragon who was going to destroy everyone and she's basically in charge of Skyrim's faction of the Dark Brotherhood, but neither of those things, or any of the other things she's done will ever feel as good as being Guild Master. It was also pretty cool getting into the tribute chest. Daewen loves shiny things.
What is this characters greatest hope?
That one day Brynjolf won't be busy.
(he's no longer busy on the pc timeline)
Does this character have an obsession. Name it.
She collects wooden plates pretty obsessively. She had a safe in her basement full of them.
What is this character's greatest disappointment?
In the xbox timeline, she's joined the Companions and is pretty disappointed whenever she gets back from a job for them and only receives 100 gold.
What is this characters worst nightmare?
Cronvangr Cave.
Whom does this character most wish to please? Why?
The Night Mother, obviously. Daewen's always tried to carry out her contracs as well as she can, and often takes Cicero on assassinations with her as a second.
Describe this character's mother.
Pengae Riverrun (Was Willowsky before marriage). Daewen's mother was a beautiful woman. Very womanly and feminine. Long hair, no warpaint. Very against crime, but loves a bad boy (Which Daewen's father was!!) Was devestated when Daewen had to leave, even though she paid her sisters a lot more attention. From a very wealthy family.
Describe this character's father.
Dirding Riverrun. Was a bad boy in his younger days. Mostly pranks, nothing harmful. Loved Pengae from the moment he met her. Very close to his daughter as she was growing up, but grew progressively more disappointed in her as she began stealing. Tried to stop her stealing but her love for shiny things was too much. Eventually asked her to leave the family, which is when she left for Skyrim, to join the Thieves Guild there.
Where does this character fall in birth order? What effect does this have?
Youngest of four children. She has three siblings, two sisters; twins, and a brother. Daewen's mother spent more time with the twins than her other children which could have lead to Daewen's troubled behaviour as she was trying to gain the attention of her mother. She still loves her sisters, however and spent a lot of time with them before she had to leave. She mostly looks up to her brother who became her best friend, he promised to follow her into Skyrim one day and meet with her again.
Describe this character's siblings or other close relatives.
Covan, Belwen and Cirwen. Belwen a few hours older than Cirwen. Both three years older than Daewen. Both very feminine, like Pengae. Belwen often wears her hair up, with a full fringe cut just above her eyes. She has a few ear piercings and loves to show them off. Mostly wears mid length dresses and boots. Sleeps in a large shirt from her Orsimer boyfriend. Her mother is slowly warming to him. At least her can look after her. Works with him at a smithy. Only good at making arrows.
Cirwen inherited her mothers lightly curled hair, and she wears it down. Unlike most Bosmer is awful with a bow. Wears quite revealing clothing. No partner. No job.
Corvan. Oldest of the four. Very close to Daewen, would protect her from anything. Very good at sneaking, loves poisons, very muscular. Always wears hair in high ponytail. Shaved underside.
List the choices (not circumstances) that have lead this character to her current predicament.
She chose to join the Dark Brotherhood rather than destroy it.
List the circumstances over which this character has no control.
She is the Dragonborn
What wakes this character in the middle of the night?
When she actually sleeps, she is occasionally woken by Cicero. Sometimes he'll be awake, talking to himself about the Night Mother, or talking to the Night Mother (Who obviously isn't there) about everything he's done with Daewen during the day. At first Daewen would tell Cicero to shush, but she became used to it after a while and actually enjoys listening to it. Although he's completely mad, he has a great memory and is says quite nice things about her. She doesn't let him know that she is awake.
Brynjolf probably wakes her a lot in the pc timeline. ;)
Who depends on this character? Why?
Pretty much everyone on Nirn, I suppose. She was the only one able to sort the Alduin problem.
Write one additional thing about your character.
From Greenheart, Valenwood. She had to leave because she had been caught stealing too many times. She was young and quite clumsy back then, she's a master at it now. It was her father who asked her to leave.
NOTES:((Elven ears are EXTREMELY sensitive to the touch, and are usually considered erogenous zones.))
