Legends of Tamriel (Skyrim Extras)

Extra 1: Character Appearance References

Hey guys; I've decided to post a legitimate /extra/ this time rather than just a drabble or something of that nature. (Haha I didn't abandon this in the slightest I was just thinking about what I wanted to do next :D ) I'm sorry that I haven't really done much with this lately, but I've got some ideas for more things to post, so I'll probably put those up sooner or later.

But back on topic, this extra will basically be a compilation of the appearances of most of my original characters from the Mage story arc - save for the incredibly obscure ones that only show up for like a chapter or so (ex. Varnand). Why am I putting them all here, you might ask? Well, not to mention it's helpful for me to write (and sometimes rewrite) these appearances out so I have a better mental image of my characters, I've had a few people ask that I post references for my characters, so, well, here they are!

I really don't have much to say, other than I hope this is helpful for you all! c:

Mage:

Helvia:

Pre-HH (High Hrothgar) Arc:

Physique: Helvia is not particularly impressive in stature, as she has a slight, petite build by nature. She is relatively fit, having been the time she lived on her family's farmstead, but has not accumulated any notable musculature from this. However, she has a remarkably high metabolism, and is quick enough on her feet when she needs to be. Her physical strength is unsurprisingly lacking, but she is very resilient for someone of her size and build. Helvia's advantages when faced with physical conflict are her speed and agility. Her pain tolerance is on the lower side, as she's had few experiences dealing with physical pain before setting out from home, but her pain threshold is average. She has a column body shape and is of typical proportions. Helvia's facial features are elegant and defined, but with a soft quality to them. Her face shape most resembles the textbook 'heart' face shape. She has cheekbones of a regular height and sharpness, and a sharp, solid jawline, ending in a sharp chin, although it is of an average length and prominence. Her nose is a little on the larger side and rounded, giving her face an overall friendly, approachable shape. She generally looks a bit younger than her age.

Height: 5'3" / approx 160 cm

Weight: 118 lbs / approx 53.5 kg

Hair Color: A rich dark brown, close to black.

Hair Style & Length: Her hair ends at her shoulder blades, and is slightly wavy in regard to its texture. She typically wears it back in a simple fishtail braid, but will also leave it down naturally on occasion.

Eye Color: Deep blue, almost navy-ish.

Eyesight: 20/30 (A bit Nearsighted)

Outfit/Clothing Style: At the start of her journey, Helvia wears a set of foreign-looking and somewhat old linen robes that, despite their age, still retain their bright royal blue dye job, accented with yellow-gold thread. (Basically the oblivion arch-mage robes, but stylized a bit differently. I'll try and elaborate on that more later). Other than that, she wears a normal pair of boots and doesn't have on anything else of note.

Abnormalities: None.

Distinguishing Marks (Scars, etc.): Nothing worthy of note.

Self Care (Makeup): At this point in her life, Helvia has neither the time nor motivation to use makeup, as she's in the midst of traveling to what she expects to be her new home. However, she does take care to keep her appearance orderly.
