OOC Your Character's Backstory

My character, Malendreia Raveius, is a female Breton Battlemage, specializing in Destruction & Conjuration magic, along with a few others. Also, One-Handed. She has light brown hair, and the same hairstyle as Sigrid, Alvor's wife. Here is her backstory:

Named after her mother's great-grandmother, she is of, obviously, Breton ancestry, but her father has ancestry of Nords. Her mother, Arabelleia Kira, was once Arch-Mage of the College of Winterhold, long ago, and reserved a spot for Malendreia. After her release in Helgen, she went to Riverwood to spend a couple days to get ready for her journey. She makes few septims cutting wood for Hod, so she can buy new spell books and Robes. She has made an acquaintance with very few people, as she is very shy. Malendreia leaded a life of learning Magicka from her mother, whom she is very distant from now and is not sure is she is still alive, after her mother fled from a group of vengeful Necromancer's looking to devour her soul. Malendreia's father, Reggius Mansteir, was a former Master Wizard at Winterhold's College, and grew up being friend's with Tolfdir. He was distant from Malendreia for most of her life, until she met him randomly while he was traveling. She doesn't speak to him at all, and she isn't close with most of her family anymore, so she relies on her friends. She is looking to be Arch-Mage someday soon.
