Nergal is a goblin of few words. She prefers to listen and observe rather than speak, and she reserves disclosure of herself to those she comes to trust. Nergal has learned that keeping quiet and watching closely has been her best bet at survival and gaining the upper hand. Despite being a goblin, Nergal has demonstrated a higher intelligence than the average beast, but still finds that she is often underestimated and seen as less intelligent. Her poor manners and etiquette hasn't helped this image, but she's found that these preconceived notions could be used to her advantage.

• It isn't known where exactly Nergal came from. The sideshow owner who obtained her spoke little of her true origins and instead spun various stories about her depending on the show. In one, Nergal was a regular goblin blessed by Julianos to have heightened intelligence and the ability to reason; another was that she was the offspring of a goblin mother and an elven father whose race depended on the location preformed at. In other shows, she was told to be a "pygmy orc" who was the runt of an orcish stronghold that was abandoned and left for dead due to her small, weak body. Despite all the stories spun about her that she was compelled to go along with, Nergal never received any real answers.
• One of her performances involved reciting various poems for the audience to show her understanding of language and "civility." However, Nergal was partially illiterate due to having never received any formal education, and took to memorizing many poems and utilizing her small recognition of words to recite them. After being forced to read so many poems, Nergal has come to hate poetry.
• Life for Nergal as a sideshow attraction wasn't terrible, considering. Though, she was treated more like an animal than a performer and the typical punishment for noncompliance was having meals taken away or getting verbally lambasted. She learned to be compliant with the tamers if it meant eating, and consequentially, developed a fear of angry, raised voices.
• Eventually, the travelling carnival she belonged to became tight on funds and many performances and attractions were dropped, before disbanding all together. With the "talking goblin" being one of the first to go, Nergal was to be sold off to the Thalmor to work as a goblin slave. Assuming she couldn't understand the details of her fate, those in charge of relocating her spoke of the arrangement within earshot of her, prompting Nergal to begin plotting an escape. Faking ignorance, Nergal pretended to comply with the relocation, waiting for those taking her to lower their guard, where she would then make a daring escape. During a pit stop, Nergal managed to pick the lock of her cage and slip out while the carriage guards were distracted. Her silent creeping soon turned into a full spring as she distanced herself from the carriage. With no idea where she was, Nergal ran aimlessly thorough forest and countryside, until she spotted a tall, white tower off in the distance. Curious, she ventured towards it, eventually finding herself in the Imperial City of Cyrodiil.
• With goblins being a nuisance in Cyrodiil, Nergal didn't exactly receive a warm welcome and was shooed away by Imperial Guards. Stubborn, Nergal slipped past them and sought refuge in the Waterfront District. She has recently began to venture out into the city at night under the guise of a small elf due to her more upright posture.

▌ Skin : Green
▌ Eyes : Yellow
▌ Height : 4'5"
▌ Body type : Scrawny
▌ Misc :
Even as an obvious goblin, Nergal's facial structure is notably more human-like, with a longer face and larger head. Her posture is upright like men and elves, though her feet are claw-like and structured differently. Nergal doesn't appear to put much effort into her appearance, usually leaving her hair down and unkempt. With few traditionally feminine features, Nergal is often mistaken for a boy, though she doesn't seem to care or correct those who misgender her. There have been a few occasions where she has also been mistaken for an unusually small and scrawny orc.

•｛ Power: Description
Nergal never had any formal training in combat, especially with weapons or magic. Instead, she has learned to defend herself with her teeth and claws. Though, Nergal is small and not physically strong and prefers to avoid fighting unless she is cornered. Her style of combat could be likened to a wild animal mauling, with tearing of claws and heavy bites to any exposed area. When absolutely threatened, she will always go for the throat.

▌ PLOTS :
•｛ Something "Borrowed:" Nergal hadn't exactly learned that taking things without permission was wrong--even if she was certain that she needed it more. Now that she has spent more time learning the do's and don'ts of society, she has decided to return a few stolen goods to their rightful owners.
•｛ Pest Control: Despite showing greater intelligence than the average goblin, Nergal is still judged as an animal. When she gets into a spot of trouble, a hunt is put out on her as both punishment and as a means of pest control. Frightened, Nergal hides out at a trusted acquaintance's house, whether she was invited or not.

•｛ Night-Eye: As a goblin, Nergal can efficiently see in the dark.
Nergal never had any formal training in combat, especially with weapons or magic. Instead, she has learned to defend herself with her teeth and claws. Though, Nergal is small and not physically strong and prefers to avoid fighting unless she is cornered. She predominantly relies on stealth and speed, which she uses to get out of most confrontational situations. Her style of combat could be likened to a wild animal mauling, with tearing of claws and heavy bites to any exposed area. When absolutely threatened, she will always go for the throat.

Plus, joining the college would give her a place to stay and hide. However, she's nervous of the heavy Thalmor presence at the college and remains uncertain about joining.
