Description Antonia is my player character from the seventh of my eleven playthroughs of Skyrim, playing through each of the major questlines with a different character each time, encompassing every race and most every playstyle.

Antonia is a thrill-seeker who abandoned a dull merchant's life in the Imperial City to become a full-time thief, robbing the houses of Cyrodiil's well-to-do. She was eventually apprehended and imprisoned, but escaped and fled the Imperial Province for Skyrim. In the city of Riften, she joined the Skyrim chapter of the Thieves' Guild, where her skill at bringing in coin soon saw her named Guild Master. In addition to this honor, she was also inducted into the Nightingales - the sworn servants of the Daedric Prince Nocturnal.

Antonia specializes in stealth. She's a master pickpocket and lockpick, and an expert in Illusion magic. When stealth fails her, her silver tongue can often get her out of whatever trouble she's caught herself in.

This was my seventh of eleven playthroughs, in which I completed the Thieves' Guild questline. This was an unusual playthrough, in that I significantly emphasized stealth to the detriment of combat ability. I put all of Antonia's early perk points into skill trees like Sneak, Pickpocket, Speech, and Illusion, causing me to level up quickly so that I soon had a character with a level in the mid-40s who could barely swing a sword. I was constantly faced with high-level enemies that I had next to no chance of defeating in a straight fight, which just meant that I had to rely on stealth even more. It ended up being more fun that it sounds. Antonia wears the Nightingale Armor, and uses the Nightingale Sword on the rare occasions when she has no choice but to fight hand-to-hand. She has no followers, because they always screw up stealth missions.
