Born to a retired Forebear warrior and a Cyrodiilic priest, it seemed natural for Oadalupe to become an Aspirant of the Kynarian Order of her home city of Rihad. Her gentle nature seemed at odds with her martial prowess at first, but her faith in the Divines served as an anchor for her contrasting roles of healer and fighter.

Over time she grew more and more curious of her father's culture and homeland. Rihad and its Forebear Redguards embraced much of Imperial culture, but in the end it was still through a Redguard lens. She decided the time came to learn more of Tava as Kynareth and set out for the city of Anvil to the south.

She remained in the city for some time, the local chapel of Dibella serving as a base and the Fighter's Guild hall a source of income while she established herself in the province. Shortly after making a name for herself, she continued her pilgrimage so as to not overstay her welcome or become prideful and complacement.

Her next destination would be the nearby city of Kvatch and its chapel of Akatosh. Little did she know her previous trials were only preparation for the horrors ahead.

Bonus art and commentary after the break

Some day I'll come up with a hair for post-game/KotN, which doesn't exist because I could never get that far on her saves lol

So my OG followers will know this character as the one I first created here on tonglr dot net, and will also know how fragile her saves were. I don't think I've ever made it to the end of a playthrough before the save ended up corrupted, but I guess there's always the future.

Anyways, not sure whether I go with that spelling for her name or the original "Guadalupe". I figure it's more...lore friendly? to go with Oada instead of Guada given there's no Spain analogue in-universe except maybe Wayrest? But that's far away from Rihad so lol
