*'''BACKSTORY :''' Aliya was born and raised in the Imperial province of Cyrodiil, but both of her parents, who were highly wanted and dangerous criminals, were native to Summerset Isles. She never met her father because he died before Aliya was born, while her mother became a beggar after fleeing her home province. Left without parents after her mother was eventually found, arrested, and trialed for her crimes, Aliya was sent to live in an orphanage in Skingrad. With nobody to finance her stay, she only lived on bare necessities like a bed and one free meal a day, which led to her often finding her luck on the streets as a dogsbody. This is also why she developed bad habits for mundane pranks, lollygagging, and even theft, which gave her a reputation as a bit of a public nuisance by the local guards and aristocracy. However, her petty crimes never caught up to her. Her life changed for the worse when she accidentally set fire to the orphanage she was living in, just days after her ninth birthday, which led to her immediate imprisonment. Set to live the rest of her childhood and even her early adulthood in captivity, she was given a new lease on life when she was released under mysterious circumstances and transported to Morrowind on a prison ship after just one year of imprisonment. 
*'''SEXUAL EXPERIENCE :''' Aliya's understanding of sex is lewd and depraved, and not merely limited to the idea of love. During imprisonment, she was sexually abused and taken advantage of daily, which taught her much about how perverted and predatory the world can truly be. While these experiences have shaped and molded her to be very knowledgeable, aware, and even afraid about the darker aspects of sex, she's also learned to view sex and her own sex appeal as potential tools of persuasion, and even as weapons. Being in control of the situation and feeling safe means a lot to her, even when taking a more submissive role in bed. She has no gender preference for sexual partners and will gladly bed a fellow girl in pursuit of pleasure.
*'''COMBAT SKILLS :''' Aliya has an exceptionally high affinity to magic but is also highly vulnerable to it due to being born under the sigh of the Apprentice. Her favorite schools of magic are Mysticism, Illusion, and Alteration, while Destruction is secondary to her. Restoration also interests her, but she's not as skilled with it, while Conjuration doesn't interest her at all. Due to her small and frail stature, big weapons don't suit her, so she relies on short swords and daggers for additional offense.
*'''OTHER SKILLS :''' Aliya is good with stealth and has keen senses for the art of speech. Due to her interest in magical arts, Enchanting also interests her to a degree.
*'''APPAREL :''' Oftentimes, the clothes she wears on her days off are the very same she wears to battle, mostly due to her being able to utilize the same magical enchantments for non-combat spells. A simple leather vest, or better yet, a chainmail shirt to wear under clothes, is her perfect choice of defense. Heavy armor or bulky garments like robes are not part of her wardrobe at all. Comfort means a lot to her, and she doesn't care for skirts or high heels, preferring to always wear pants paired with light and quiet shoes or boots.
*'''RELIGIOUS VIEWS :''' Having grown up in Cyrodiil where the nine are worshipped, Aliya knows very little about the elven pantheon, and thus her beliefs line more with men than the elves. She feels a strong connection to Julianos due to her mentor and father figure Tumindil being a devout follower of him. Still, at the beginning of her journey, she doesn't actively worship or follow the teachings and tenets of any god in the Imperial pantheon. In fact, she doesn't care much about the gods, apart from making blasphemous comments at their expense.
*'''POLITICAL VIEWS :''' Aliya's political views are not very well developed, but she values her own personal freedom and independence above everything else. She dislikes silly, mundane laws such as the outlawing of levitation magic and especially hates censorious laws which restrict the individual's freedoms in their personal lives. Her biggest conflict regarding her views is with the Empire. She has always been taught that the Empire is good, that the Empire is great, and in some parts, she agrees. They brought peace to Tamriel and united the world under one banner, after all. However, this conflicts with her own personal experiences, which have led her to dislike the Empire's overly bureaucratic nature, its strict, overreaching laws, high taxes, and the corruption inside many of its institutions. As for other regions and their local politics, she simply doesn't know enough to have strong opinions on the matter, and she doesn't care too much either. She's more interested in the ordinary people who inhabit these lands.
