Name: Fadara Varrvayn
Race: Dunmer
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Appearance: Fadara can be described as a very plain Dark Elf, nothing in particular about her makes her stand out. Her skin is an ashen grey with glowing red eyes that are a known feature of her kind. Her hair is raven black that reaches half way down her back when down. However, most of the time her hair is tucked up into a bun with only a few strands that hang on either side of her face. At first glance, her build seems rather normal but with a close look one could notice her tone muscles. One thing that could be considered noticeable on her is the scarring on her hands. On various spots there seem to be burn marks which are due to her first times learning to use a forge.
Personality: This Dunmer is full of passion which can lead her into precarious situations. She gets easily excited about the things that interest her and will try to fain interest in other things if they show the same kind of passion as her about what they like. In her excitement and passion, she tends to rush into things and does not think things through. Whether its rushing into a crypt full of traps or getting into heated arguments with the wrong crowds, Fadara is not fazed and will stand her ground. She also tends to have a short fuse leading to her getting very angry over somethings that are quite minor.

Occupation: Roaming blacksmith but mostly a mercenary
History: Born in Raven Rock on the island of Solstheim, Fadara was daughter to a family of Dunmer who worked in the mines. As a child, she spent most of her days watching the blacksmith while her parents worked. The way metal could be worked always fascinated her which led her to begin working as soon as she could to pay the blacksmith to teach her. She was also fascinated by the way these weapons could be used. Although she had the talent for magic like most Mer people, she was never interested in learning any kind of magic. At 17 she was had saved enough to start an apprenticeship as a blacksmith. With every weapon and piece of armor she made, she practiced with it with some help from one of the local guards.
At 21, she learned all she could from this local blacksmith and decided to travel to the village of the Skaal to learn their blacksmithing ways. However, weary of an outsider, they refused to teach her and she quickly stormed off to hack at a tree until she couldn't swing anymore. That was when she decided to leave her home and venture to Skyrim, hoping to learn as much as she can about smithing. She was surprised to find just how differently some Nords would treat her just because she was a Dunmer. This has led to her spending a night or two in the hold jails for having beat up people who said anything against her or her kind.
She spent her 22th year at the College of Winterhold to research in their library to see if they had anything on blacksmithing. She also picked up a few basic spells such as basic healing, and magelight.
With her funds running low and no town willing to hire a blacksmith, Fadara has resorted to being a mercenary, mostly being taken because her abilities to fix armor and weapons. She is saving her money and continues to take the work, hoping some will lead her to places where she can unlock more secrets of blacksmithing.
