Traits

Bravil - Humble Beginnings

The night of Mariana's conception was not one of passion but marred in violence. In the squalid town of Bravil, a foul man forced himself on Flora Nautius.A Nibenese seamstress by trade, Flora singularly raised her daughter, Mariana, on the outskirts of the Imperial City of Cyrodiil. Surrounded by finery and yet never possessed, Flora deemed her meager earnings inadequate in providing the life her daughter deserved. With words of prayer and sacrificial offerings, she sought the aid and wisdom from the Divine, eventually her prayers were answered by the House of Dibella. It was they who Flora would come to entrust the care of her only child.

Anvil - A carefree youth

Given to the House of Dibella upon her bleeding, Mariana's carefree youth was spent at the Great Chapel of Dibella in the harbor city of Anvil. It was here, as an acolyte, that Mariana began her journey to become a member of Dibella's clergy learning such topics as companionship, etiquette, art (singing, dancing, painting, lute and harp playing), gardening and landscaping, and basic alchemy.As a youth, the girl from Anvil was wooed by a boy of Kvatch. Many trysts between the young lovers ended at one of the city's two inns. Until one late night, Mariana witnessed her young love commit an act so horrific it caused her to flee their room in terror. Taking the first ship to leave that very night, Mariana left Cyrodiil without word or possessions.

Sentinel - A life in comfort

Eventually, an adult Mariana would settle in Sentinel, the capital of the Redguards. Dibella being popular among Redguard ladies, Mariana found favor among the nobility especially one, Magnifica Carina Cabral, Tear of Hegathe who was but a child at the time. Under Mariana's tutelage, in pose and grace, the young noble grew into a formidable lady. Mariana was the Magnifica's confidant until the trouble from Anvil showed up in Sentinel. The combined efforts of the Magnifica and her former lover, convinced Mariana to return to her homeland. Her self-imposed exile had come to an end.
