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.
About Asta 2/2
Date: 2014-02-07 07:13 am (UTC)She stayed pretty much away from most factions, causing both sides of the war to worry over whether the other would be able to grasp hold of her. While she traveled all over Skyrim, Whiterun became her home base and she became very, very loyal to Jarl Balgruuf, and very, very pissy when it came to any threats regarding the town. She refused to leave for Alduin until she was assured that Whiterun would be safe from attack and called a truce, under threat of shoving her foot up everyone's ass (er, she totally used diplomacy~).
At the start of her journey as it were, Asta was very ignorant about politics and really had no idea what she doing in that regard, but through trial and error learned as much as she could about as many of the groups as she could, and tried to make her major decisions as logically as possible within the situation. She quickly learned to have a distaste of being hounded after due to her status, preferring the quiet treatment of her former life, as well as developing a hatred of the Thalmor ideals. During her travels she occasionally would make a point of being a pain in the Dominion's ass whenever possible by stealing all their paperwork.
Asta had a bit of a balancing act, as the woman donned a cowl whenever going out on Dragonborn business. While everyone in Whiterun was aware of who she was and what she looked like, to the rest of the world Asta was just another dime-a-dozen blond haired blue eyed Nord- the cowl hid her facial scars, so the general public didn't have that indicator to pick her out of a crowd.
By thirty five, Asta had defeated Alduin and while she'd of been more then complacent to simply live her life as the Thane of Whiterun (and focusing on booting the Thalmor out of Skyrim), it grew more and more increasingly apparent that sitting idly by and watching the war take its course was getting them no where, and only making the country more susceptible to being crushed by the Thalmor. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided that it would be in the country's best interests to throw her hat in and help end the war.
While not a perfect choice, Asta decided she was going to assist the Stormcloaks- while neither of them were perfect for what Asta had in mind, she believes that she can get Ulfric on board with her agenda quicker than she could Tullius, so long as she can manage to shift his blind hatred of non-nords and refocus it on booting the Thalmor out of Skyrim.
And now we're caught up to OGaM! Again, that actual fill will probably be incoming sometime soonish but we all know that could mean three days or three months so we will see.
Also for those of you who haven't read it but are possibly intrigued, Asta has 2 fills on the meme, which should both be tagged by her series tag; Domestic is a short ficlet, and Of Gods and Monsters is AstaxUlfric (part 4, page 21, second prompt <3) OuO
'Saint' OGaM OP here!
Date: 2014-02-07 11:00 pm (UTC)It's made me like Asta's character even more and appreciate how she became the woman she is now.
I'm also looking forward to seeing how Ulfric reacts to all of this!
Looking forward to an update, whenever it comes :)
