"Well... I grew up on the island. I can't say my early childhood was an easy one, I was sick all the time, but once I hit seven, I was plenty strong enough to do well without medication. My parents had an arranged marriage, and since few of those marriages ever result in them actually loving each other, no one expected them to have children. In fact, my mother had two miscarriages before she had my sister, and my sister died a little while after turning four. Few children like me survive childhood, and even less have a face that meshes instead of being grotesque. You've heard of marriage alliances between Imperial nobility and Altmer nobility, right? Anyway, I had a wonderful childhood. My parents kept me safe, and loved me, and are still just as loving as they were when I was a baby. I mostly helped my father with his crafting; he makes the most beautiful jewelry. He made all of the things I'm wearing. He actually pieced this leaf together from small fragments of shrines to all the Daedra, and the flower has pieces of all of the divines' shrines in it, even Talos! When I got a little older, I wanted magic lessons, and got them. I left home at twenty, and went to the college. I go back every year to visit. And... That's it. That's my story.", Myra told her, starting to slur her speech a little.
