History
Childhood: Avis was born an only child to a sea-faring, merchant father and a mother who repaired sails for a living in the coastal section of Woodhearth. Her mother died from complications that arose from childbirth when Avis was about 5 years old, leaving her to travel with her father on his trips to other parts of Tamriel. She would learn about all the facets of sailing in the years that she spent on his ship.
Early Teens: About 9 years later, Avis is becoming a remarkable sailor. She's incredibly young, but all of her father's shipmates respect her and claim that she was born to be on the sea because of her skills.
On Avis' 15th birthday, her father is setting sail toward a large coastal reef (Avis' favorite place to anchor) to celebrate when they see a ship in the distance in distress. As they move closer to assist them, they see the ship right itself and head towards them, slicing quickly through the water. Unable to make a quick getaway, their ship is boarded and raided by slavers. They cut down anyone in their path that they deem "unfit" to take, including Avis' father. Avis herself is found below deck, having been thrown down there by her father when he saw the ship coming toward them. She is taken captive as a slave and remains on their giant ship, The Lashing Talon. All of the slaves aboard the ship are assigned duties aboard the ship, but Avis is still allowed to do some sailing work because of her experience. However, she is still subjected to beatings, abuse, and torture like any other slave aboard the ship. This is how she acquires the scars on her back and most of her current fears.
Late Teens: Despite the challenges and horrors she's had to face, Avis has managed to build friendships with other slaves on the ship. She's been honing her sailing skills under the watchful eyes of her captors and waiting for the right time to act. While the friends she's made have helped her stay sane through her ordeals, Avis can feel herself becoming colder and harsher.
Adulthood: After several failed escape attempts throughout the years (and subsequent beatings and punishments to go with them), Avis finally manages to bring enough of the other slaves together to stage a pseudo-revolution during one of the rare times they stop at port. They kill the captain and the crew, take all the gold, and set fire to the ship as it drifts out of the harbor.
Avis uses the money she has to buy a new ship and start a new chapter in her life, where she can actually enjoy being out on the sea. Several of the former slaves join her (including her best friend Havor, who she actually promotes to first mate), as well as a couple of people who witnessed the escape take place.
Soon after acquiring her ship and setting sail, Avis gets word of the Republic of Free Men and decides to join them, thinking them to be a worthy cause worth sailing for. She's been sailing in their name ever since, and couldn't be happier.
OH god I feel like this is awful and worded really weirdly and just ugh but yeah. That's the gist of her history. If you want me to clear anything up or change things then let me know.
