Personality: Jailani is a bit of a sociopath. She is nice enough to people who give her no reason do dislike them, but anyone who makes the wrong remark is usually cut down by a vicious insult of some kind. She often fakes emotions when she needs someone's trust. She is also incredibly perceptive when it comes to people, so she is better at hurting them. She is not easily surprised, so when she is taken by surprise she lets her cover down and is very stark and cruel. She is not a full sociopath though, and on rare occasions her true emotions are visible.

Backstory: Jailani was born to a wealthy family in Sentinel. Her mother's family had deep ties to Hammerfell royalty, and her father's family had been the most successful merchants in western Tamriel for generations. Growing up after the Great War, Jailani never understood the hate of the Thalmor. Yes, they did invade our kingdom and ravage the south of the land, and yes, they were a bit harsh, but that was how Jailani's family had gained its status. Each of the patriarchs of her father's family had been more ruthless and successful than the last, and her mother's royal relatives (leading up to her third cousin, the King) had put down many an uprising within their court over the years. Jailani also appreciated the High Elves' cosmopolitan sense of style, which caused them to base a large part of their society on eugenics. Jailani was a little Thalmor sympathizer by age 13.
She learned with puzzlement that many others, even those who she thought had ought to agree with her, disagreed on the pretense of "nationalism", something she never grasped. To her, money and power went beyond borders. She kept this attitude quiet. Until, that is, she learned to fight.
At 15, she beat a boy half to death after he made a remark which she took great offense to: "You should stop acting like some damn elf." Luckily her father was able to pay the boy's family of aristocrats to not have her executed. After this, Jailani didn't have to be quiet, because nobody would dare oppose her. She kept training.
When she was 18, her dream came true. The Thalmor wanted to establish a more peaceful presence in Hammerfell, and to do this, they planned on paying their way in. They opened up trading between the major merchants of Hammerfell and Alinor and started pampering the rich and powerful of the kingdom. Prior to a major trade deal that her father was to sign, the Thalmor threw a ball for the up-and-coming of both nations. She loved it. And she loved the High Elf boy she met there.
This, she thought, was her chance to be like the High Elves. So she made an advance on the boy, in close proximity to his mother.
The chewing out she received was brutal (though she would come to admire it one day). It ended, "...and I will not have some slut with the blood of MAN come near my boy!" This made Jailani snap. She stared at the woman for a long time, then was on top of her with a knife from a nearby table in her throat.
Jailani promptly ran home from the hall where the ball was held, gathered her things, and stole a horse from her mother's stables. And she rode. And she rode.
And she rode for months until she met Nachael. He was strong, and rugged... And he was a Redguard. A Redguard who was proud of his homeland and his race. In fact, the first she had wanted in years. She hid her snobbish manner as best she could and set off with him to travel the world and train under the world's masters of combat. They became fast friends, and soon more than that.
The two had great times together. Since Jailani had acquired a hatred of the Thalmor (as an entity, she respected their ideal) from the mother of the elf she had propositioned, there was a period of a couple months when all the couple did was raid Thalmor camps and enjoy one another's company. They were also under an Orc mage for a few months, and various other teachers.
They both grew in their skills through the years, but it was under the great vampire hunter who callled himself Hannibal that they blossomed. It was also under him that they grew apart. Jailani's horrible nature began to show through more and more each day, pushing Nachael away. The final break in their relationship came when Hannibal died. They both loved him dearly (he was one of the few people Jailani genuinely liked), and when he perished seconds after Jailani came to his aid from burns given him by a daedra, Nachael blamed her. This brought Jailani's true self to the surface.
The group had been traversing a treacherous ravine in the Alik'r Desert for a few days, and after Hannibal passed, Nachael and Jailani still had two days' journey to go until they would reach an oasis. During these two days, Jailani was incredibly abusive to Nachael. When they reached the oasis, they parted ways. Over the course of the following years, the two had crossed paths occasionally, resulting in a mix of seduction, heated battle, and bitter silence.
Combat style: Jailani is skilled with any and every weapon or school of magic, but prefers her own set of weapons. She uses her ebony sword in her right hand with either a spell or her ebony dagger in her left when facing enemies in direct close combat, her bow in mid to long range combat (stealth and direct), and she throws her iron daggers when in mid to close range stealth combat. She always wears her jewelry, but switches between her clothing and armor when she is prepared for either battle or infiltration.
