נυℓιєℓ ѕєℓяαηє

Juliel was born to a Breton family set up as merchants in Rorikstead. She was the third child and first daughter born to them, though three sisters followed soon after. Like most girls in Skyrim, she was expected to know how to help the household, as well as protect herself. At the same time she was learning to weave, cook and farm, she was also taught to wield a sword and use a bow. Given the rough terrain and the dangers in Skyrim, it was important for every pair of hands to understand how to contribute as well as to protect the homestead. There might not be dragons any longer, but there were bandits, wolves and giants, as well as a looming civil war.

At the age of 16, a stranger came to Rorikstead called "Alain Dufont". He presented himself as a traveler and spent time in the village, paying particular attention to Juliel. He promised to marry her, making her a ring out of a yellow wildflower and took her to bed. Being young and idealistic, she believed him. It wasn't a surprise to her parents when he left without a word one early morning. They had tried to warn her, but she was too stubborn to listen and suffered the early heartbreak common to most girls in similar situations. She discovered she was pregnant not long after. Ashamed and frustrated with her refusal to rid herself of the child, Juliel's parents made a bargain with her. When she was starting to show, her mother would take her to Solitude to wait out the rest of her pregnancy. For the sake of their reputation, she would then travel to High Rock to stay with family and in return, her mother would claim the child as her own. Juliel agreed. She gave birth to a son and a few weeks later, she journeyed by ship to High Rock.

She remained there for 5 years, never hearing from her parents. Her cousins continued her education, focusing particularly on the bow for her (which she showed a natural talent for). When she turned 21, her cousin gave her an ultimatum. She couldn't stay with them any longer, as they had enough mouths to feed. Either she return home or she married. Still holding out hope for Alain, Juliel chose to return to Skyrim, wanting to see her son.

Her ship was wrecked off the coast near Dawnstar. One of the few survivors, Juliel trekked through the icy tundra, making her way first to Dawnstar and then Windhelm. She took odd jobs to earn more coin for herself, particularly helping Jarl Ulfric with a string of murders taking place in the city, earning both his respect and the guards. They started a friendly relationship after that, one that would last for years and several trials. Eventually, Juliel traveled to Rorikstead, finding her home abandoned with no word left for her. According to the townspeople, her family decided to move elsewhere in Skyrim, though they did not say where they were going. There was no sign of a child with them either.

Hearing rumors about a young boy named Aventus Aretino, Juliel met with him. Assuming she was a member of the Dark Brotherhood, an assassin, he asked her to murder Grelod the Kind of Honorhall Orphanage. Shocked by the stories of mistreatment, she paid a visit to the orphanage, confirming what Aventus said was true. She murdered Grelod, reassured Aventus and continued her travels. Not long after, she received a mysterious letter simply saying "We know".

She was stolen from her bed one night by the Dark Brotherhood, taken by Astrid to an abandoned shack where she was given a choice. Three figures were bound and covered with hoods. One had a contract on their head; Juliel had to choose which it was and kill them. Following the instructions, she chose the Khajiit, who proudly declared he was a murderer and a defiler of daughters. The choice, in the end, didn't matter. It was that she followed Astrid's instructions and killed as she was told. Astrid, impressed, invited Juliel to join the Dark Brotherhood. There, she was given some semblance of family with a number of members that were friendly or at least welcoming. Though it was Arnbjorn, Astrid's husband, that gave Juliel a great deal of hostility.

One of the first contracts she received was from a woman named Muriel, who wished for a faithless lover and liar to be killed. As it turned out, it was Alain Dufont, who Juliel learned was a bandit leader and a grifter. Facing him in his hideout, he didn't recognize her or have any memory of their time together. Disgusted, Juliel killed him and left her flower ring on his corpse. When she returned, she asked a few of the members of the Dark Brotherhood to help her find word about her son, whether or not he lived. Meanwhile, she set up a house in Falkreath and adopted Sofie, an orphan from Windhelm, as well as a dog named Meeko.

The Dark Brotherhood was soon visited by the Night Mother, one of the leading figures of their organization, and her keeper, Cicero, a mad jester with a fixation on the old ways. Astrid was openly hostile to change and anyone threatening her authority. Believing that someone was plotting with Cicero, she charged Juliel with sneaking into the jester's rooms to see who he spoke to at night. Hiding in the Night Mother's coffin, she was suddenly confronted with the woman's voice, telling her to meet Amaund Motierre and to accept a contract from him. She was also told to share with Cicero the words "darkness rises when silence dies", this was the secret phrase to tell him that the Listener has been chosen. The Listener was the conduit to the Night Mother, the one to receive the contracts that the Dark Brotherhood must take.

Astrid reacts with disbelief, refusing at first to acknowledge Juliel's new role. Shaken and frightened, Juliel turned to Arnbjorn, sleeping with him unintentionally. Eventually, Astrid agrees for Juliel to meet with Amaund Motierre who tasks the Dark Brotherhood with killing the Emperor. Juliel takes the lead in the quest, killing several notable figures, including the Emperor's cousin at her wedding. Arnbjorn, meanwhile, responded callously to their shared night together. It's only when Cicero, angered by Astrid's mockery of the Night Mother, attacked her and another member that things changed. Arnbjorn chased Cicero to Dawnstar where he was wounded. There, Juliel found him and tended to him, sending him back to the sanctuary while she finished Cicero off. Despite his pleas, she brutally killed him for betraying her family and injuring the man she was falling in love with. She and Arnbjorn reconciled and began an affair, exchanging tokens (she gifting him a wolf necklace and he giving her a wolf ring).

During this time, one of the members, Veezera, located Juliel's son, now named Blaise. He was abandoned in the woods as her mother was returning home and was rescued by a family in Solitude. However, the parents died serving the Legion in the Civil War. Left orphaned, Blaise relied on the charity of a nearby farmer who let him sleep in the stables in exchange for work. Reunited with her son, Juliel took him home to Falkreath, eventually telling him the truth of who she was.

The day came to kill the Emperor. Traveling to Solitude and posing as a chef, Juliel poisoned his food. The man died, but it was revealed by the head of his guards that he was only a body double. Someone in the Dark Brotherhood made a bargain, selling Juliel out in exchange for immunity and a chance to continue the organization as it was. Backing out of the deal, the man decides to kill both Juliel and the whole Brotherhood. She escaped with her life, but returning to the sanctuary, she found it set on fire and under attack. There, she witnessed Arnbjorn's death in battle and found the corpses of the rest of her family. Only two other members survived, Nazir and Babette. Following instructions from the Night Mother, Juliel found Astrid inside, near death and badly burned. She revealed she was the one to betray the Dark Brotherhood, wanting things to go back as they were. She asked Juliel to kill her and fulfill the contract, asking her to keep the Dark Brotherhood alive. Juliel killed her, but felt little pity for the woman.

Despite the setback, Juliel moved forward with the contract and killed the Emperor, as well as Amaund Motierre by the Emperor's request. Broken by her loss and hurting, Juliel traveled from inn to inn, losing herself in drink and random contracts. At one of the inns, she met a man named "Sam" who challenged her to a drinking contest. Several days later, with no memory of what happened, she tracked down Sam to find that he was one of the Daedric Princes, Sanguine, looking for amusement and drew her into his games. This set Juliel on a path to meet each of the Daedric Princes, accepting their tasks in exchange for rewards and weapons with great power. It was Boethiah and Namira that pushed her to act in ways that would come to haunt her. At Boethiah's request, she murdered a childhood friend, Erik in cold blood. Namira had her bring a priest for her followers who eventually fed on him. Juliel took a bite of his flesh, but was so disgusted with herself, she turned to drink and skooma to try and forget the memories.

Ulfric intervened when she was arrested for a barroom brawl, shaking sense into her. He pushed her to remember her children, admonishing her for nearly letting despair to get the better of her, especially for a man that was never really hers. Ashamed, Juliel traveled to Whiterun to look for purpose and some means of cleansing herself. The Temple of Kynareth asked for her help in reviving the Gildergreen tree. The selfless act and the pure ritual helped Juliel, moving her away from substances as she attempted to wash away the sins of her past. She visited a bow master, Agni, to hone her skills and to become a better warrior. Returning to her children, she did her best to forget her past actions and to build a better life for them.

Passing by Helgen, she came across ruins caused by a dragon attack. She moved to warn the residents of Riverwood and Whiterun. Charged by the Jarl to help take down the dragon, Juliel joined his soldiers at the West Watchtower. The battle was difficult, but eventually the dragon was killed. After, the creature seemed to burn, its soul causing it to turn to a crisp, transferring suddenly into Juliel. It was then that she learned the legend of the Dragonborn and that she likely was one. This meant she could absorb the souls of dragons and speak their language, a devastating Thu'um that held greater power than basic magic. She was summoned by the Greybeards, an ancient order that studied Thu'um, left relatively idle because of the disappearance of dragons and dragonborn.

She traveled the Thousand Steps where she began training for her abilities, which came quickly to her and much stronger than the Greybeards imagined. She was given a quest by them to retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller in the middle of a draugr tomb. Unfortunately, someone had beaten her to the horn, leaving a note for her to meet them at the inn in Riverwood. There, Juliel met Delphine, a member of an order called "The Blades." She informed Juliel that dragons were returning because of Alduin, the World Eater. He was a mythical and very old dragon with the ability to destroy worlds and raise dragons from the dead. Juliel and Delphine traveled to Kynesgrove where they witnessed this firsthand, eventually killing the dragon that Alduin raised. Delphine told her that their work was only just beginning and gage her the Horn to take to the Greybeards. There, in their temple, the Greybeards formally recognized Juliel as the Dragonborn and taught her the full shout Unrelenting Force.

It is here she is pulled into another world and a game...

Juliel is a skilled archer, able to fell any enemy and animal from yards away, often in low visibility conditions. She has been noted to take down a dragon with one shot, causing him to crash to the ground. She's also a talented swordswoman, skilled enough to take on seasoned warriors. Like many others in Skyrim, she is versed in weaving, cooking, and gardening. She makes her own clothes and armor, her own potions and poisons, as well as food that she takes on her adventures. She's extremely picky about her food, preferring her own cooking to something she can buy from others. She can also make soap and enchant her weapons and armor.

She isn't a practicing mage, but her true magical ability is in her Dragon Shouts. She knows a few shouts, in particular, Unrelenting Force, which can knock someone off their feet and several feet in the air. It can knock dragons out of the sky and sometimes turn someone to ash. She also has the completed Clear Skies, which can clear harsh weather for a short period of time. Most of the shouts she knows are not complete and so aren't fully effective; she only knows the first word to those shouts.

Her current uncompleted Shouts:

Kyne's Peace
Marked For Death
Slow Time
Whirlwind Sprint
