It's the wielder that makes it a weapon.\"\n\n-Ma'jyrr\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nMy sister is an...interesting character to be sure.\u0026nbsp; Nicknamed, the \"Smiling Beheader\", for reasons that will later be discussed, she is a fierce warrior, a master bow-woman and a capable assassin.\n\nMa'jyrr was born 46 years ago (By the Eight, we're getting old), in the small town of Moonshadow.\u0026nbsp; There we grew up eight years, before an attack by Thalmor at the end of the Great War slaughtered our town, killed our mother, and took us captive.\u0026nbsp; Ma'jyrr and I were tortured, before being rescued by the Krin.\n\nMa'jyrr currently stands at the top of the Renrijra Krin branch in Skyrim, having taken over the position from her mentor, S'mrishcha-do (22).\u0026nbsp; The Renrijra Krin, also known as the \"Smiling Scum\", \"The Laughing Landless\", or the \"Mercenary's Grin\", are an elite anti-Thalmor organization, that used to oppose the empire.\u0026nbsp; As head of Skyrim's branch, she is one of the most important and influential figures there, likely right below her mentor, who has recently earned a promotion to the overall commander, following the death of the previous, Do'falina.\n\nMa'jyrr breaks the normal mode of the Renrijra Krin.\u0026nbsp; She is a very grim character, smiling when in combat, but not when out.\u0026nbsp; Our traumatic experiences with the Thalmor when we were kids changed her.\u0026nbsp; But, since her grin is fierce in combat, and she has a tendency to behead people, she has earned her nickname.\n\nMa'jyrr is the most capable swordsman in Skyrim and, as a likelihood, most of Tamriel.\u0026nbsp; Her skill with a blade is unmatched, and her stealth skills sublime, bested by only me (6), Do'razzi (13) and Dar'mhirr (15).\u0026nbsp; Since Ma'jyrr has had rigid training under the Krin, unlike her older brother, who left earlier, she has developed a few talents her brother doesn't have.\u0026nbsp; For example, her bowmanship is amazing, bested only by Jiira (18), a Khajiit huntress.\u0026nbsp; Dar'mhirr is comparably equal skill to both of them, but only with his croosbow.\u0026nbsp; Standing with a bow, Dar'mhirr can be seen to lack skills.\n\nMa'jyrr is a master of the one-handed weapon, but also worked to learn the art of two handed weapons, or, as one of Khazzi's (21) instructors said, \"The fine art of hitting people until they die.\"\u0026nbsp; Though lithe, Ma'jyrr is quite strong and is capable of wielding a broadsword, or even a war hammer.\u0026nbsp; However, her Khajiiti tendencies disincline her from this.\u0026nbsp; Ma'jyrr is also quite adept at hand-to-hand combat.\n\nUnlike most of her light-armour contemporaries, Ma'jyrr does not seek to better her armour class.\u0026nbsp; She sticks simply with the leather armour she stitched in the Renrijra Krin, a marked contrast to others.\u0026nbsp; However, unlike some others (Dar'mhirr, for example), Ma'jyrr does not leave her specializations.\u0026nbsp; She knows what she's good at and does not vary in her pursuits.\n\nMa'jyrr is a member of the Thieves Guild of Skyrim, but only so her ears can be close to the ground, metaphorically speaking of course.\u0026nbsp; Her intelligence network, as the head of Skyrim's Renrijra Krin, is about as big as the networks in other nations, which is to say, extensive.\u0026nbsp; Despite the standard Nord's opinion on the cat-people of Elsweyr, the Renrijra Krin has a rather large Nord component.\u0026nbsp; Now, this could stem from the fact that the one thing that Nords and Khajiit agree on is their hatred for the Aldmeri Dominion, though I bet Dar'mhira (19) and Razum-dar (20) would disagree.\n\nMa'jyrr may be considered a contemporary of the two aforementioned Khajiit, as she works for the best of her people, against a hostile regime, and has risen to a high station.\u0026nbsp; If the Aldmeri Dominion of yore were still present, Dar'mhira and Razum-dar would be on opposite sides of Ma'jyrr.\u0026nbsp; However, my guess lies that Ma'jyrr would not even be a member of the Renrijra Krin if the Dominion were like that under Ayrenn.\n\nMa'jyrr has brown fur and black hair, with blue eyes.\u0026nbsp; Her braids are filled with rings, which she puts in after every successful campaign.\u0026nbsp; She has a story behind every one, though don't ask her to tell you them.\u0026nbsp; She can't.\n\nAn opinion circulates that Ma'jyrr may be mad.\u0026nbsp; As one who has worked with madmen and fought against others (the Thalmor spy Ancano comes to mind), my sister exhibits none of the traits.\u0026nbsp; Dedicated?\u0026nbsp; Yes.\u0026nbsp; Terrifying in battle?\u0026nbsp; Yes.\u0026nbsp; A menace to the Dominion?\u0026nbsp; Absolutely.\u0026nbsp; Mad?\u0026nbsp; No.\u0026nbsp; In her single-minded ambitions, she could sit alongside Dar'mhirr, though she has none of his emotion-suppressing style.\u0026nbsp; In fact, she uses her emotions to great effect, striving to become better and better and directing her anger at her foes.\n\nAs family, Ma'jyrr is a very caring and compassionate person.\u0026nbsp; Never accost her on the subject as she'll deny it and, maybe, stab you to prove her point.\u0026nbsp; I jest, but in all seriousness, Ma'jyrr is caring.\u0026nbsp; When I was in bed for a month with Lung Rot, she went all the way to Black Marsh to retrieve a potion that could heal me.\u0026nbsp; We were in Elsweyr at the time, serving under the Renrijra Krin, and nobody else would do it.\u0026nbsp; Though the men of the Krin said she would likely be killed, she went anyways.\u0026nbsp; And behold, she survived and got the potion.\u0026nbsp; So, I would not be here today were it not for my sister.\n\nOnly Ma'jyrr and Dro'amoreth accompanied me on my final fight with Alduin.\u0026nbsp; As the Dragonborn, we managed to slay Alduin and delay the end of the world for ages unknown.\u0026nbsp; However, my heart breaks to think that we are the last Dragonborn.\u0026nbsp; That none after us may share in this amazing gift.\n\nIn conclusion, Ma'jyrr is an opponent that should be feared by any who dare to cross her path.\u0026nbsp; Should you cross blades, you will have little time to fear.\u0026nbsp; Your life will be over before you know it.\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Story of the Khajiit","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1194266-jo-akora-the-dragonmage.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1196434-dro-amoreth-the-wise.json"}}
