Rarely using a blade in hand always relying on their spells and keeping far away from combat. A decent amount of health to keep them alive along with light armor. Using ice to shatter their enemies then raising their broken bodies to fight for the rest of their foes.

Brutal and deadly but with a heart of gold she will tend to the needy and helpless. Since she was a kid she dreamed of traveling to skyrim someday, a provenance that she heard was blessed by Malacath himself. Her time with the legion forged her to become a great warrior and a talented blacksmith. Special attacks: Malacath's offering: berserker rage + soul tear + power attacks. Trembling hearts: disarming bash + dismay + veggie soup + sweep.
