Septima with her foster father Vergonus Varn.

I used DA Origins CC for this one.

My Skyrim character's Backround story (very short version)

Septima Varn was born and grew up in Cyrodiil. She never knew her parents and her adoptive father was Vergonus Varn the Arch Mage of the University of Magic of The Imperial City. As a child Septima was shy and modest, often cried when she did something wrong or when other students teased her. She preferred people to call her just "Sep" instead of "Septima" because she believed that she doesn’t deserve to be named after emperors of the Septim dynasty. She believed she was just an ordinary girl who has a dream to be a hero.
When Septima became 25 her father told her that now it’s time for her to go to Winterhold and continue her education. Septima didn’t want to go to Skyrim because she doesn’t like cold. For a long time she argued with her father and eventually agreed. Septima’s father wrote a letter to his good friend Savos Aren the Arch Mage of the College of Winterhold and asked him to take his daughter to study in the College. Septima herself always wanted to travel, and at the same time she didn’t want to leave her father.
Septima’s adoptive father had a reason to send his daughter to Skyrim. Long time ago, when she was a kid, Vergonus saw a vision of Akatosh. The Dragon God of Time told him the truth about Septima and claimed that no one should discover her legacy until the time comes. Vergonus remembered Akatosh’s words “Septima will stay with you until she becomes 25 years old. Then you must let her go. Send her to Skyrim, that’s where everything will happen. She must save Tamriel”. So Winterhold was just a motive, not the reason.
When Septima crossed the border of Skyrim she was captured by the Imperial soldiers. She had no idea about the civil war in this region and was shocked when they arrested her. And the only question she asked was “Excuse me, how do I get to Winterhold?”. The guards took her into custody and brought to their military camp. Septima tried to convince them she was just a traveler but they didn’t listen. One of the guards said “Take her to the others for now, we’ll deal with her later”. Back then Septima didn't realize who those "others" were… Two days she spent in a prison with the rebels. It looks like the Imperials just forgot about her. And then they sent her to the execution, along with other prisoners. Septima survived only thanks to Alduin and then she escaped with the Imperial guardian Hadvar…

In Dragon language my character's name sounds like "Septiimah". Her name is three words of power like the names of all other Dragons. Paarthurnax knows the meaning of her name but keeps it in secret.

Few facts about Septima. Sorry for my terrible English.
