(This is where I’ll be posting my main fic of Kayla and Miraak called ‘Tethered Dragons’ )
Thank you to @cresu @neloths-tea @sulphuricgrin for tagging me!!
Name: Kayla Seran
Age: 24 at the start of fic / TES 5 events
Occupation: Last Dragonborn, Listener / Assassin for Dark Brotherhood, former-ish Harbinger of the Companions
Background: Kayla was born in Cheydinhal, Cyrodiil as the youngest to her Imperial mother and Dunmer father. Kayla grew up with two older brothers: the oldest brother Gavin is an Imperial Legion Captain (he’s also the most human/imperial looking of the siblings but does have red iris’) and her second oldest brother named Julian is a bit of mercenary rogue type (the most Dunmer looking of the siblings with typical gray color skin, the classic red Dunmer eyes and elvish ears). Kayla’s mother was originally a priestess of Mara at the local temple and her father is a ‘mercenary / sword for hire’ (he’s a dark brotherhood assassin and does do mercenary work but that also serves as his cover LOL).
More under the cut! It’ll be too long if I don’t add it 💖 (also here’s drawings of her, her two brothers, and her mom and dad :3 )
Notable Relationships: OH BOY! I’m gonna restrict this to actual Skyrim NPC’s otherwise it’ll be too long lol
Miraak ❤️: well we probably all know this one 💀 I could yap about then forever so I’ll keep it brief! Kayla and Miraak end up doing the Enemies to Allies to Friends to Lovers route 👍❤️ eventuallyyyyyy they get married and have kids and goddamn someone give Kayla some sort of Medal of Honor for having 5 kids with Miraak smh
Vilkas 😬: you KNOW I gotta bring up this one LMAO SO! Kayla and Vilkas were nearlyyyy on the cusp of being an actual couple but that gets hastily interrupted by a cultist attack that leads her to venture to Solstheim for a few months 👀Kayla sets Vilkas in charge while she’s gone and eventually she also leaves the Companions and names him the harbinger in her place YEUP. It’s a whole thing. Vilkas still has feelings for Kayla even after time has passed and they were in fact very good friends for a while before the other stuff comes up. Someone previously mentioned in this post is a DAY ONE NUMBER ONE HATER of Vilkas for more reasons than 1-and it’s great 🙌 gotta love drama
Teldryn Sero 🦀: Kayla hires and then befriends Teldryn as she journeys to Solstheim to figure out ‘who this Miraak asshole is’. The two end up being really good friends and continue their friendship beyond the dragonborn dlc quest. Teldryn is, at least at first, pretty disappointed in her befriending AND then eventually getting romantically involved with Miraak LOL, it’s pretty much the “really? Of all the people in Skyrim or Tamriel….this one?” 😂 Teldryn and Kayla initially connect over the fact Teldryn’s from Blacklight and Kayla’s father originally lived there too!
Teldryn and Kayla are both sassy troublemakers which is a big part of their friendship and they both enjoy teasing / ‘rage baiting’ Miraak. As mentioned, Teldryn and Kayla stay friends throughout everything and even into the future, Kayla and Miraak’s kids call him Uncle Tel 💖
Camilla Valerius 😳: HEHE so Kayla and Camilla became uh friends with benefits / fuck buddies for a while which is one of the funniest random lore I have for Kayla 😂 so while Sven and Faendal bark around at each other and bicker about who should be with Camilla, Kayla’s over here going to freaky town with her without either guys having a clue 😂😂
Serana 💜: Kayla does the dawnguard quest line and definitely becomes friends with Serana. Kayla and Serana bond over a lot of different things and build a deep trust with each other. Serana becomes another lifelong friend and the two remain close and frequently in contact after the main questline and dawnguard questline events.
Lydia 💅: Kayla gets the whole thane of Whiterun title which means Lydia is appointed to her. At first, Kayla is annoyed with the idea of being assigned a bodyguard-I’m the Dragonborn why do I need a bodyguard?? but eventually accepts Lydia’s help with a quest or two and they become very good friends. Lydia is no stranger to Kayla’s antics and isn’t afraid to call her out or lecture her-in a loving bestie kind of way ❤️ Lydia sometimes is the voice of reason Kayla needs 🩷
Strengths:
Speechcraft, in many, many ways (She isn’t exactly one to enjoy or partake in lying and avoids it when she can BUT that gal knows how to put on a performance whatever the occasion may be especially if it’s of a um flirty nature). Smooth talking, gets her way out of trouble, sometimes she amplifies being unassuming, friendly, or ditzy to purposefully fly under peoples radars. And if you’ve seen or read anything about her dad I’ve shared, that’s exactly who she gets it from 😂
Combat and Murder 💀 that’s to be expected at this point 😭 she’s a melee fighter gal through and through and uh well being in the Dark Brotherhood is great for that because she’s skilled at killing people and they DB pays well for her to do it!
One handed / dual wield weapons!!
FAST! She’s small and swift!
Sympathetic / Empathetic / Caring to others (especially those who have mental strife or young). A surprising trait for a fighter assassin lady 😂 Kayla’s kind of an oddity in that she can be her scary warrior Dragonborn self but also is incredibly gentle and soft with those she loves (friends, family, etc) and espeicllay to kids-she’s very protective of them especially given the past she had. That’s how she so quickly agrees to help Aventus Arentino and gets thrown into the whole DB questline. She also used to babysit her two nephews (from oldest brother) alllllll the time back in Cyrodiil. She’s very nurturing, playful, whimsical, and protective which the kids gravitate towards.
Weaknesses:
RECKLESS: Especially / specifically with fighting, she’s the type in battle to be like, ‘I don’t care if I die fighting you, you’re going down with me’
Often overly self sacrificing or commits herself to helping others when she is already out of her depth. She tends to also feel the need to prove she’s strong and capable since she’s often overlooked for that and in turn leads to her burning out or getting injured or other unfortunate outcomes
Too comfortable / too detached with enacting violence / killing enemies: well I had a whole spiel for this but I’ll just put this here quickly. Due to Kayla’s past, she can be a bit detached from the foes she kills and sometimes not as detached and more willfully cruel. This definitely stems from her papa, but he’s ultimately worse/more guilty of this, the sadistic fuck lmao
Kayla’s grandmother on her father’s side talking about her to Azarain (Kayla’s dad):
“She is a juvenile serpent that doesn’t realize when and where to seep her venom in a panic. Teach her to wield it accordingly.”
Disorganized and Unstructured
No interest in:
Learning more Magic?!?? She just wants to attack things fast and hard with one handed weapons 💀
Thievery. “I don’t wanna waste time or energy stealing shit, feels weird. If I really need something from someone I’ll ask, talk my way to it, or kill them.” A.K.A: ‘I may be a killer but I’m not a thief!’
Substances beyond the occasional drinks lol save that sort of thing for her brother Julian or as I like to call him SKOOMA BOY
No concept of:
Minimalism (those dovah hoarding tendencies yall)
Staying on task (yep that’s my ADHD girlie right there)
Conformity or fitting into expectations
In battle:
Kayla is mostly dual wielding / using one handed weapons. She knows a few little spells here and there but nothing advanced at all or most intermediate level spells. She likes melee through and through and enjoys close proximity rather than ranged attacks. Because she is smaller/shorter, she’s had to learn to find ways to counter this set back such as being very fast and very aggressive in her attacks. She’s also incredibly unpredictable with battle strategy / movements / attack patterns which also serves as another vantage point to her combat.
Distinguishing marks or notable features?:
Has a few lil scars here and there with one larger one on her back near her ribs that’s about the length of her hand. Other than that, in terms of noticeable physical details: SHORT height! This gal is literally 5’2” or 157.5 cm 😭 the nicknames “Mal Dovah” from Miraak or “Tiny Terror” from Teldryn are in fact very accurate 😭😂😂
Trivia?:
Kayla’s last name Seran stems from her family history with House Redoran and the Seran family-one of the 30 revered families of Vvardenfell that can be traced back to the Chimer! The family has an ancestral tomb in Morrowind TES 3 you can find actually!
Kayla enjoys artsy hobbies like charcoal sketching and painting and enjoy singing a bit too-her mother tried to encourage a lot of hobbies and other varying skills when she was young to balance out the more unsavory and ‘lethal ones.’ Kayla also enjoys hobbies that keep her hands busy usually
Okay so this is relevant for the next lil lore piece but Kayla has pretty rough PTSD prior to TES 5 events and it comes up frequently in her life (I got a whole post explaining those but it’s a bit heavy-it was for the myths of Tamriel disability post so if you wanna know more feel free to look there). She loves animals and eventually ends up with a few including her dog she adopts from the Dawnguard named Winnie. Although the dawnguard dogs are usually husky looking, Winnie resembles more a long haired German Shepherd. Winnie acts as the TES equivalent of a PTSD service dog in many ways such as general comfort /grounding, crowd control / blocking, disrupting SI behaviors, alerting (usually to Miraak) for help, checking surroundings (Kayla can sometimes suffer hallucinations in bad flashbacks and whatnot so Winnie helps to show that the area is safe). Winnie is the best doggy :3 and is able to lend that sort of therapeutic animal duty to Miraak too from time to time ❤️🩹 who wouldn’t wanna pet and hug that big fluffy dog?! :3
Even though Kayla’s only half Dunmer, I like to give her some of the aspects usually associated with Dunmer including the ole Morrowind Ancestor Guardian! Kayla’s main ‘guardian’ shows up here and there and is an aunt from of course her dad’s side of the family longggg ago. I’ll have to draw her and post her but her name is Nova Seran or as Kayla calls her Aunt Nova (or Daesma Nova / just Daesma as a sort of Dunmeri translation for aunt- sister: Daeseh and Mother: Alma, thank you to @changelingsandothernonsense for the translation idea help!))
Kayla’s religious associations and practices are all over the place!! Her mother being a priestess of Mara from Cyrodiil, her father worshipping the Reclamations just as his family does back in Morrowind, Kayla also being the listener for the dark brotherhood-it’s scattered to say the least!! It’s easy enough for her to have an appreciation for Aedra but also has no quarrels with appreciating Daedra (mainly just the Reclamations-Azura, Mephala, Boethiah). SO! When Kayla and Miraak do eventually marry, their wedding ceremony is a bit of a mixture that includes little traditions or homages from their cultures (I mean we got a half Dunmer half Imperial with a half Atmoran half Yokudan lol).
Tagging these lovely folks (no pressure to post) (and also if I forgot to tag it wasn’t intentional and feel free to tag me in yours if you want :3 ) and YOU READING IF YOU WANT :3 🫶❤️
My favorite dynamic of Miraak and LDB is like. Deeply upsetting for anyone else to observe in that they're Really Fucking Weird about each other. Like, matching each other's freak in ways that Deeply Disturb the public.
Hey there! SO in my fanfic / art version of Miraak, I have it that he’s around 27 ish when he’s swooped up into Apocrypha from his battle with Vahlok. I sort of have it where he’s kind of “frozen in time” a bit there at least when it comes to certain physical things while he’s there.
SO this animatic is Kayla “trying to guess” his age before Apocrypha, and she’s purposefully being annoying with the help of Teldryn ❤️ I heard this audio again recently and HAD TO DRAW THIS 😭🤣
Hope yall like my dumb silly art stuff :3 thanks for stopping by 💖
Thank you so much for the tags <3! @honeybeebunny111 @cresu @donemer @friend-of-giants @blue-dartwing
I was thinking about skipping this week, but gonna post my doodles anyway!
I did a slight study in portraits, I suppose, though I should have done more of the full front face perspective, but I chickened out since I still struggle with Loomis.
These three ladies are as follows: Freya's Breton mother (suddenly can't remember her name now! DAMN IT!), Freya in the middle, and my Bosmer Lyra on the end. I tried to draw her antlers ;____;
I tried to make Freya resemble her mother, but I think I made the noses too different.
At work today, I was bored and decided to draw some plants, but Skyrim plants. I got inspiration from @skyrimhusbandmaterial, who once drew a wonderful Nirnroot picture. I need to reblog it!
I thought it funny if Freya tried to keep track of certain alchemical ingredients, and if she did, what would she write down for each one?
So this may become a series, idk yet.

My blog has only been quiet because I have been on ESO so much. But I love posting and boosting others' art!
Below the cut is a funny glitch I managed to screen-record on Sunday in ESO, along with a peek at a new custom armor I somehow acquired.

Small edit: Going to hopefully up my game with this!
WOW so I posted a lot of wips so I don’t think I even have the most!? 💀 BUT I remembered I have hundreds upon thousands and thousands of words written never seen or shared so I’m gonna put some of that here!
The urge to obsess over Azarain continues….. SO most of this is related to him and Adrianna >:3 (LDB OC Kayla’s parents)
Of course more under the cut!
(Word count: 660):
(For context, this takes place sometime after Azarain and Adrianna have already met (Kayla's parents). Essentially, they first meet when Azarain got injured on a Dark Brotherhood contract mission and Adrianna found him wounded, helped heal him, and get him to the temple of Mara she works at. It doesn't take long after that for both to be smitten with one another but there is certainly some barriers to their shared attraction)
“You! Why are you back here?! You’re lucky enough I haven’t run off to the guards and told them about your occupation!” Adrianna interrogates in a hushed tone, pulling Azarain through the doorframe and shutting it behind her.
“I am lucky! I’m not denying that. Although if you turned me in, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation and I think you’d miss my pretty face,” Azarain casually replies with a grin. Adrianna rolls her eyes and attempts to keep herself busy with organizing different potions and medicinal supplies scattered around the surfaces of the room. It was already tough enough for her to be working at the temple today, the last thing she needed was that smug-albeit handsome- man around here again distracting her. He had already managed to occupy her thoughts enough already, more than she'd ever wish to admit.
“You really shouldn’t be here you know, I actually have things to do right now- I’m working,” Adrianna scoffs reminding him, and perhaps herself too, of her duties at the temple.
“Ahh you’re right I shouldn’t be. That’s why I figured I should ask to take you somewhere else,” Azarain sighs leaning against the wall watching her busy herself with tidying and grinning to himself. Azarain found she was all too easy to tease and even prettier when she was flustered like that.
“What?!” she yelps nearly knocking a jar of herbs over as she stands to face him again.
“Humor me, I’ll take you out on a date and if it’s the absolute worst date you’ve been on, you can turn me into the guards,” Azarain offers a little too cheerfully and casually.
“Is this a joke?! Are you crazy?!!” Adrianna stammers unsure whether she should be freaking out over his date invite or the suggestion of his own potential imprisonment and death. Someone being in the Dark Brotherhood was pretty much frowned upon well, everywhere. She knew that for him to be discovered like that would almost undeniably lead to his execution.
“Crazy for you, yes. What do you say? Tomorrow before noon I’ll meet you here-“
“Here?!”
“Okay I’ll meet you…….by the old Bridge Inn near the bookstore and we’ll have a picnic! I’ll bring food, basket, everything. A proper date, a real one. What do you say?” he beams with a hopeful smile. Adrianna looks at him entirely stunned, confused, and peeved but undeniably intrigued by this entire insane situation.
“Why? Why would you offer to let me turn you in? You know what they do to people in…..who do your type of work right?” she questions lowering her voice, eyes glancing around as if anyone else was in the room with them.
“To earn your trust and prove how I feel. I’m not a gambler, but I’d like to think the odds of the latter being the outcome are slim. So, what do you say princess? Is it a date?” he answers casually moving off the wall and stepping closer towards her with his hand held out to her. Adrianna looks between his extended hand and the hopeful but almost smug smile on his face a few times before letting out a small sigh and shaking his hand.
“Very well then Azarain. I’ll meet you by the inn tomorrow," she replies trying to compose her tone and keep a straight face.
"Wonderful, I'll be looking forward to it. I'll see you then Adrianna," he comments back, playfully mimicking her almost cold guarded tone before pressing his lips to her hand that he held before swiftly seeing himself out the door.
"Hey! Don't just go out the-ugh!" Adrianna hollers after him but remains where she stands and crosses her arms. Maybe it was a good thing after all they didn't have as many priests and priestess available at Mara's temple today, otherwise they'd probably interrogate her for the blush on her cheeks and if anyone saw that tall Dunmer man stop by.
Bonus meme: Kayla’s mom:
And other Azarain meme lol:

Here I thought I was gonna skip WW this week but, here we are again ahah. Finally getting a ref-sheet started for Shiala.
First time me actually thinking the scar-placement on her chest properly, it might still change. Looking forward crashing out while trying to figure what she will wear.
I wasn't planning on sharing any writing either but thanks to @helloskitty99 I dug out something I recently wrote about the Yngvild-sidequest, so here you go a snip from that!
Words: 400ish
The cold breeze of the Pale beats Shiala’s cheeks without mercy when she finally arrives to Dawnstar. It was foolish to think she’d have the means to just go straight to Yngvild, the size of that tomb was ridiculous — she could still see it from the edge of Dawnstar. What on Nirn did nords compensate for back in the day?
Stepping inside the Windpeak Inn brings back strange memories. She remembers vividly being covered in gore after killing a dragon and listening the local whisper in terror until she finally managed to get changed. Other half of the crowd desperately surrounding Erandur, begging for his help with their nightmares. That’s how they met, not knowing some time later their acquaintance nearly lead to his death. The messy, passionate months after feel more like a hazy dream now. Sometimes she thinks perhaps so much of was exactly that — a dream. The miasma messing up with her head. His head, when she caused him to relapse. What a mess it all was.
The innkeeper recognizes her. He smiles, though behind his facade there's still the same apathy as she remembered— a mark that Vaermina left in his poor face, not physically, but the mental drain that all left in him still shows.
“Good to see you,” Thoring says to her, but she doubts he means it, ‘what can I get for you?”
Shiala’s purse jingles out of her little pocket as she lays it on the counter. “If I could get a room for tonight, and perhaps something to eat.”
“Seeing your old friend?” He asks with a yawn.
“No,” she pauses, hoping she won't end up bumping up to Erandur this time. “Can you tell me anything about Yngvild?”
His right eye twitches. It makes Shiala chuckle a little, thinking the man already regrets saying that it was nice to see her — because was it really, knowing Shiala always gets herself involved with the town's problems, even with the once not needing for attention of the Dragonborn. “Many strange things happening lately. First the nightmares, then the Black Door, women going missing.. ”
Missing women? Shiala senses his nervousness and the volume of his voice lowering. “Sounds more for a reason to pry further. What's so strange about it then? There's some kind of master wizard, no?”
“Aye. There’s some unsettling rumors going on about that place.” Thoring serves himself a drink, too, drinking ale straight from the bottle. “Necromancy.”

First of all, thank you all who tagged me in the previous weeks!^^ I haven’t done a WIP Wednesday in a hot minute (and was rather inactive on tumblr, sorry about that too!) sooo im hopping in to show some stuff i was working on as of late:3
Aside from Artfight stuff (which i will be posting at the end of July – feel free to share the attacks i made for you or use it as you please in the meantime!:3), i have been sketching my beloved ocs again – aka my fav rat Narusur getting his tattoos done + a sketch of Sen
Im also planning to do some short-comic-type-of-things featuring my ocs, mostly because im enjoying drawing way too much than actually writing them:D I’m currently quite meh about doing fic-stuff, so i have another outlet to share some story snippets this way:3
At the moment i’m focusing on Salyn’s storyline among the Morag Tong:
Tagging some of mutuals, no pressure as usual!^^

First I must apologize if I don't get to your tags today, I have a migraine. :(
I am on my quest towards reading 100 chapters of fics this month, still haven't read anything today but I have some chapter reserves from the weekend, so I think I'm safe. (66/100 atm btw!) I do have to admit that reading has been cutting into my writing/drawing time. Trying to do it all, but it ain't easy.
Here's a little snippet from the next chapter of A Song Without the Voice (230 words) under cut:
CW: None
"I don't think I'm the same person I was three days ago."
The admission slipped out before she could stop it. The room seemed to grow still around it.
A moment passed.
Then, with the slow deliberateness of someone approaching a frightened animal, Ralof pushed himself up from the chair and crossed the room.
The movement alone made something inside Talisse seize.
Her shoulders tightened instinctively. Every muscle along her back drew taut beneath the blanket. For one brief, humiliating moment, she thought he might reach for her. A hand on her shoulder. A comforting squeeze. Some well-meaning gesture that would send her heart lurching straight into her throat.
She hated that she thought it. She hated even more that she couldn't stop herself.
But when he lowered himself onto the floor beside the hearth, he left space between them.
Not much, but enough that she didn't feel cornered. Enough that she could still breathe.
The firelight danced across the floorboards separating them, throwing shifting ribbons of orange across the wool blanket gathered around her shoulders. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him hesitate once as he settled. His hand lifted slightly, as though some old instinct had urged him toward reassurance. Toward contact.
Then he stopped.
The hand dropped back to his knee.
Talisse found herself unexpectedly grateful.
Eventually Ralof exhaled quietly.
"None of us are."
