Skyrim Sheet: Babette (Patreon)
Content
The amount of head-canon I developed about this character is pathetic and embarrassing. Not about her origin or anything like that. I prefer character's to only have vague origins. I like knowing that Conan the Barbarian's first big move as a young man was sacking the Aquilonian outpost of Venarium, but Howard never wrote about what exactly happened. It's only vaguely referred to. I prefer it that way. I also prefer how Han Solo asserts his skill as a pilot because of something-something Kessel Run, but we as an audience don't need to know what that it, and elaborating on it anymore than that would be tedious.
Most of my head-canon about Babette is in regards to her relationships with the other characters. I imagine that she's friends with Aela because they Companions and the Dark Brotherhood interact plenty. Arnbjorn of the Brotherhood is an ex-Companion, so right there I can connect Babette to Aela.
I think she would have met Lydia and Dragonborn early on. I like the idea that she was hired to kill Dragonborn, but maybe Lydia fucked her up, sexually humiliated her, and sent her home with a spanking and some fisting.
Babette is 300 years old. She's had time to meet everyone. I like the idea that she and Isran go waaaaaay back, and maybe they first fucked when Isran was a young man, but now he's in his fifties, and she's still a cupcake. Love/hate relationship. He would have been a Vigilant of Stendarr when they first met.
