Okay so I'm not sure if this qualifies as a fill since it's mostly just a quick type up, but in that case; Tags: Nord, Asta (series tag) Triggers: Mentions of miscarriage and character death! Bewarned! Summary: A quick overview of Asta's life.
I just wanted to type something out to get the muses flowing for OGaM again- OGaM OP, you qualify for sainthood by putting up with me.
Also I'm praying there's no continuity errors but I don't ~think~ there is. I tried to see if there was a Haldor in-game but all Google pulled up was RP OCs.
Thirty five years ago, Asta and her twin sister were born to her seamstress mother and hunter father in Whiterun hold. At age three, her sister became ill and perished. Her childhood was a fairly quiet one, with just her parents and a stray dog, but as Asta knew no other way of life, she was a very happy child. While they lived a secluded distance away from the towns, the family was near by enough to bring in their kills to the meat vendors in town, as well as to get jobs for Asta's mother. Though she was taught how to make and mend clothing (from scratch if she had to), Asta preferred to go out hunting with her father instead, favoring the bow and arrow over the needle and thread.
At seventeen, she was with her father one day talking to one of the meat vendors they sold to when she noticed a young Nord man around her age. Nothing about him really warranted notice, but they made eye contact and over the several next trips into town there was some long distance flirting. It wasn't until Asta went into town on her own that the man actually approached her- likely for fear of his life as her father had been quick to catch on and just as quick to dish out death glares. His name was Haldor, he said, and a scholar. Though things were a bit tense at her house at the beginning of their courting (with her father being of the old school beliefs about strong Nord men, rather then magic-practicing scholars.), eventually tensions settled down and the pair were married shortly after her eighteenth birthday. Life was basically roses for Asta the next eleven years, as she and her husband made a home for themselves. He taught her basic magic, though it was like pulling teeth- this would be where she learned how to use fire and healing magic, though of course it is very low-level. There was, unfortunately, two major tragedies during their time together- At twenty three, Asta conceived a child. Three months away from her due date, a thief broke into the house. While Asta and Haldor fought him off Asta was thrown into their table, with the impact causing her to miscarry the child. She never conceived again and assumed the trauma of impact rendered her infertile, followed by the late-term miscarry.
At twenty nine, the second tragedy struck; while traveling, the pair were caught off guard by a bear. The bear knocked Asta to the ground and gave her the facial scar she has today. The only reason she survived was because Haldor made a last-ditch effort to save his wife, in which he took the brunt of the bear's blow before managing to finish the creature off himself. Asta desperately tried to save him using what little magic she could and the few potions they had, but his injuries were too catastrophic and he bled out. Asta stayed with her husband in the road until a group of guards her.
Traumatized by the loss of the love of her life, Asta essentially disappeared. The only time anyone saw her was when she came in to do trading with the vendors, and she was gone not long after that. At thirty, she bought a three year old horse named Rush.
The bordered became meaningless to Asta as she followed the herds, and several years later at thirty four she was arrested by the Imperials and sentenced to death, along with Ulfric Stormcloak. Escaping Helgen, she made her way to Riverwood and then Whiterun, where she established herself as Thane. Asta was fairly accepting of her role as Dragonborn, though slightly out of her depth being a simple hunter.
