The Beast Within

About this image

This is Svanhildr Caelestrys, eldest of the Dovahkiinne siblings and Harbinger of the Companions. Though all of the siblings are mixed Nordic and Imperial blood, Svan identifies most with her Nordic heritage - she is a daughter of Skyrim through and through. Despite this, she despises Ulfric Stormcloak and his henchmen. She believes that the Empire is Skyrim's best chance of survival against the Thalmor, and like her brother, sisters, and ancestors before her, she has spent several years in the ranks of the Imperial Legion.

Her kin also know that Svan spent many a Skyrim night as a werewolf, though all of the siblings kept it to themselves. Now, though, it matters not. She has recently cured herself of lycanthropy along with her husband, Farkas. The two live with their adopted children in an estate near the border between Dawnstar Hold and Whiterun Hold.

As far as combat goes, Svanhildr takes most after her many-times-great aunt Auriana. Yet, the warrioress eschews all magic (save her shouts) in favor of a plethora of melee and ranged weapons. Svan's patience is limited, and she does not enjoy spending copious amounts of time studying dusty tomes like her younger sister, Hjordis. She gets along with all of her siblings rather well, but she feels particularly protective of her little brother, Aleksander.

Svanhildr also sees Paarthurnax as a dear friend and respected mentor. She has been specially trained by the ancient dragon in the use of the Fire Breath shout, though she does favor Unrelenting Force as well.
