“Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear.”

- The Black Sacrament of The Dark Brotherhood

---
So I wanted to draw my lovely nord in her dark brotherhood gear. I've been coming up with a bit of a story with her, and I'd like to share. 
I named her Aela before I was aware of Aela the huntress, and did not learn of her until I was level 13 and had already bonded with the character that I hold. I wasn't willing to restart because of a name, since I'd already done so much with her. Also, if you plan on reading through the summary of her, there are spoilers 


Aela Bonecrusher was a hardy and fair nord woman who had lived within the boundaries of skyrim her entire life. The harsh land had not been kind to her, and she wished an escape.... So she attempted to find a way out. To sneak across the borders, to try and find a new life... Unfortunately, this did not go as planned. She was captured by imperials, thinking her to be apart of a group of stormcloaks whom had been doing one thing or another. She traveled to helgen with a thief, a warrior and none other than the famous jarl of windhelm- Ulfric Stormcloak. The man whom had killed their high king with nothing but his voice... or so the stories said.
She was readying for her execution when the dragon attacked... She escaped from Helgen with a stormcloak soldier by the name of Ralof. From there, he lead her to the town of Riverwood where his kind resided. She set out with the task of informing Jarl Balgruuf the Greater of Riverwood's dire position and how open to the attack of a dragon she was. In her travels, she encountered a group fighting a Giant. 
The companions... She had heard stories of the elite group of warriors since she was a tyke. She assisted them, unable to resist the call of battle and was extended an invitation which she promptly took advantage of once the news was delivered to the jarl and completed the tasks he set her to... One of which resulted in her slaughtering a dragon, with the help of several guards. She found out that she was something called dragonborn... She held the power of the voice.
She took on the tasks of the companions, quickly being accepted as one of their own. She was but a whelp, but still one of them. She was told to prove herself. She was sent with her shield-brother, Farkas, to retrieve a fragment of the axe of the companion's founders. This is when it was revealed to her that the companions had been hiding something... Something rather amazing. Those of the inner-circle were granted the gift of beast blood... They were werewolves.... Through a few more tasks, she was granted the very same gift.
From there she decided to go off on her own for a time. She wanted to explore the land she had been confined to her entire life... And whilst traveling, she met a warrior by the name of Benor. He challenged her to a fight, to which she promptly won. It was the beginnings of a friendship the two would forge... he followed her throughout many quests, earning her trust and affection. They soon married.
They purchased a small home in whiterun. A cozy home, one where they could rest comfortably... Though Aela's beast blood kept her from ever fully resting herself.
They adopted two children, since Aela herself could not bear her own. It was not much of a problem, since there were many orphaned children throughout skyrim who they were willing to offer a home to... The first child they adopted was a young girl named Lucia. She lived in their own hold... The hold of whiterun. She was a kind spirited child who brought a smile to their faces... When they were out on their adventures, Aela's housecarl, Lydia, cared for the children.
Through their travels they found another child, named Alesan. The boy was sleeping on the floor of an inn they were investigating... After hearing his story, they plucked the child from his rough and unkind life and eased him into the easy going home  and family they had established. For a short period of time, they were happy.
However, this did not last long. 
Benor was lost to them. He had been slaughtered by vampires they had had the misfortune of running into. After that, Aela became obsessed with the battles that plagued the land. She joined the vampire hunters, the dawnguard.. She joined the rebellion to fight for their freedom so that she would not lose another loved one. She had many companions, followers over her travels. She lost many of them, including Vorstag, Marcurio and her beloved housecarl Lydia. 
In her battled for Skyrim's independence, she encountered a few rumors. One of a boy who wished to contact a group of esteemed assassins... or rather, formerly esteemed. They were nothing but a shadow of what they formerly, but they were still a force to be reckoned with. She found the boy... he was but a child. He wished for her to slaughter an old woman whom had done nothing but cause pain for he and the other orphans that resided in riften. She went ahead with the plan, the children cheering her as she slaughtered the old hag, Grelod the kind.
Soon after taking out the woman and receiving her payment, she received a note. A simple one with but a handprint and a simple phrase...
We know
it was a chilling note. When she awoke the next morning, she did not awake in the inn she had rented a room in... no, she was in a shack. One with a woman who had her choose a victim to slaughter out of three. A dark brotherhood contract had been stolen, and this was how she would repay.... Aela did so with very little remorse, having lost much and caring so little about what blood was spilled nowadays.

She was extended an invitation to join the brotherhood. She accepted, being brought into the family.
She has served them ever sense.
