BUMP!
This is going to be a Then and Now dedication to my latest character, Renee Gade III, daughter of Renee Gade II, and granddaughter of Renee Gade the first. I think since this is grandma, mom, and daughter why not have a look at the one who started it all.

That is Renee Gade, and she is Imperial. This is her as pictured in the Year 389 of the 3rd Era. She is my TES 1: Arena character. I like to imagine she is very young in this pic; no more than 18. She's not very good with writing, she keeps a journal which is so sloppy I can barely tolerate reading it, but she is also bright enough to use magic. I like to think she was a battlemage-in-training for Uriel Septim's VII's court, but unfortunately she (along with Uriel himself) was imprisoned by Jagar Tharn, the evil wizard who took over the land of Tamriel.

And that is Renee Gade II, she was an OB character from my PS3 days. Unlike the original battlemage from Arena, RG2 did not use magic at all, RG2 was a pure fighter. The only exception to this was I allowed her to use the default healing spell. She was my first DiD character, but she lasted quite awhile. She was also my first true roleplay. Umaril the Unfeathered is the one who eventually did RG2 in.

That is a picture of Claudette Colbert, who played in Cleopatra, a movie from like 1933 or something. I put her pic there because Claudette is the one whose looks I used to model RG2. See the similarity?

I did my best. I wanted to use Xena for inspiration on RG2's looks, but the problem is the vanilla game does not support hairstyles with bangs. And you
gotta have bangs on your head if you want to look like Xena. Anyways, Cleopatra instead of Xena.
Sorry if that's a bit indulgent. I want to see all my gals in one place for once. Anyways, next we'll get to the Then and Now portion.
