About this image

Decided to finally start a second playthrough with a new character.

Her name is Eclair Petitfours, the pint-sized nightmare from Cyrodiil. She was born and raised in the Imperial City by a wealthy family. Being around the pomp and grandeur of the Imperial capital caused a lot of it to rub off on her. Eclair is pompous, greedy, petty, arrogant, sarcastic, immature, and has a serious Napoleon complex.

She looks down on others, and she treats those few she manages to befriend as her "loyal subjects", as she aspires to become the future Empress of Tamriel and already sees herself as such. She is attracted to money, power, and authority, and will do almost anything to get it. She is not necessarily evil, but not totally good either, she's simply out for herself. She helps people, but only insofar as it will benefit and/or entertain her.

Though she is from a privileged upbringing, she's not new to adventuring, and has built a small name for herself in seedier circles in other provinces. Indeed, she is wanted in Valenwood, and outright banned from High Rock. The only reason she travelled to Skyrim was to seek out new opportunities (and also to escape some trouble she got herself in). She was caught in the middle of an Imperial ambush whilst crossing the border, and you know the rest...

Now penniless and in a strange land, she's trying to make the best of it, and finally establish a real reputation for herself as a powerful force to be reckoned with. She's willing to step on anyone who gets in her way, but maybe... just maybe... she still has a good heart left in her...

(Eclair is my first attempt at RPing a character that is not a traditional "good-guy" and toes the line between good and evil. It's a challenge, because I naturally gravitate towards good/honourable characters)
