Alva

Alva is a Nord vampire and a resident of Morthal. She lives in her house in Morthal with the widower, Hroggar, and can be seen wandering around Morthal after dark.
She is a vampire who was sent to Morthal by the master vampire Movarth to turn some townsfolk while preying on the rest. She is seen as uncaring and sees the townsfolk as nothing more than cattle, but her journal reveals a desire, at one point, for love and romance.Alva's Journal
==Background==
She came to Morthal on orders from a master vampire named Movarth, with whom she fell in love. Her primary objective was to establish a presence in the town and then seduce and enslave the guards. After she had done this, Movarth and the rest of the vampire coven would enter the town and use it as a constant source of blood and protection from the sunlight.
She seduced Hroggar so he would guard her house during the day, and turned Laelette to serve as her handmaiden. She ordered Laelette to kill Hroggar's family and make it appear as an accident, but Laelette burned the house with them in it, causing suspicion amongst the townspeople. She can be found sleeping in a coffin in her basement during the day, and can also be seen in Movarth's Lair during the night.
==Interactions==
===Laid to Rest===
After finding and killing Thonnir's wife, Laelette, and discovering she is in fact a Vampire, the quest marker will point to Alva's House. Alva is in the basement, lying in a coffin. When the room is entered, she rises and immediately attacks if one is not sneaking. If it is nighttime, she may not be in her coffin. Her journal, which is lying in the coffin, reveals that she was the one who changed Laelette and also plans to enslave the entire town of Morthal with a coven of vampires which had sent her to the town.
==Dialogue==
;Laid to Rest
After asking Jonna about the burned house:
They say Hroggar burned down his house for you. "Do they? How delightful! I'm lucky to have a man that is so devoted to me."
==Conversations==
===Hroggar===
Hroggar: "How are you feeling?"
Alva: "I feel wonderful, just like every night."
Hroggar: "Do you need anything? Are you hungry?"
Alva: "Oh Hroggar, you know I'm always hungry. Don't worry, I'll eat when I need to. Oh, look! We have company!"
===Moorside Inn===
Alva: "Why, good evening Jonna!"
Jonna: "What can I getcha, Alva?"
Alva: "What can't you get me, sweetie?"
Jonna: "Umm... Did you want somethin' to eat?"
Alva: "Eat? No, I don't think I'm... hungry. Not now, at least."
Jonna: "Right. Okay, tell me if you change yer mind."
Alva: "I'm bored, Benor. Nobody wants to have any fun with me."
Benor: "If you leave that kinslayer Hroggar, I would be happy to keep your company."
Alva: "Hroggar doesn't have to know if we sit together. Or drink together. I doubt he would even care."
Benor: "You tempt me mightily, Alva. But I won't cuckhold another man, even on murderer like Hroggar."
Alva: "Would you like to buy a lady a drink?"
Gorm: "What would Hroggar say if he heard I was drinking with you?"
Alva: "Forget about Hroggar. He's always so tired lately. I need someone with a little fire in their blood."
Gorm: "After all you've put that man through. You should be more loyal to him."
==Quotes==
*"Well, aren't you the handsome one. You and I should spend some time together." —When first introduced, if the Dragonborn is a male
*"Well, aren't you the pretty one. I bet all the men chase after you." –When first introduced, if the Dragonborn is a female
*"The people here work so hard, and they never allow themselves a moment of fun. It's such a pity. It won't last forever though."
*"These people are like cattle. All they do is work, sleep and eat."
*"Gathering plants, picking mushrooms, brewing potions. It all gets so dreary after a while. This town needs something exciting to happen."
*"I know you for what you are. This town's blood is ours. Leave it! Now we must return to our roles lest the sheep suspect the wolves." —During Laid to Rest, if the Dragonborn is a vampire
*"I hear you put Laelette out of her misery." —During "Laid to Rest," after killing Laelette
*"Now I'm going to have to kill you!" —During "Laid to Rest," when within her house
==Trivia==
*Alva is one of the few owners of the rare Tavern Clothes, and due to her related quest, she is likely the easiest way to obtain them.
**During "Laid to Rest," if the Dragonborn has not killed Alva before entering Movarth's Lair, they can sneak attack one of Movarth's followers beside him at his table with a bow. Sneaking then to the left and down the ramp behind the rocks through the small sleeping area, the Dragonborn can see Alva engaging a Vampire Mistwalker in combat. If the Dragonborn does nothing, the vampire will kill Alva.
**If Dragonborn uses Voice of the Emperor on Alva while in her house, it may cause her to run to Movarth's lair. If power's effect expires before she reaches it, she will go back to Morthal and attack everyone on sight.
**Alternatively, if Alva survived after completing "Laid to Rest," she can be found sleeping inside the coffin in her house and neutral to the Dragonborn. The Dragonborn can then choose to pickpocket her Tavern Clothes with Perfect Touch perk as a means of obtaining Tavern Clothes whilst keeping her alive.
*She, rather often, makes very seductive comments towards male characters, even females, presumably so that she can enthrall them, as per Movarth's plan.
*Being a vampire, she is extremely vulnerable to fire dragons during attacks on the town.
*If Alva is forced to fight, she will use her vampiric powers to defend herself, revealing her for what she is. Strangely, the people of Morthal do not care about, or even notice, this occurrence.
*As noted above, during the quest "Laid to Rest," if Alva does not die while searching in her house, she can be found within the lair. In some instances she will not fight unless attacked, while in other instances she assists the dragonborn in attacking the other vampires. Occasionally, she can possibly be found dead in the cave as well, likely killed by a fellow vampire (related to bugs listed below).
*If Alva is killed before Laelette, and someone sees it, the bounty is 40 gold, not 1,000, most likely because the guards realize she is a vampire, yet they will still attempt an arrest for assault.
*Killing Alva, even in self-defense and during the related quest, will lower Lami and Hroggar's disposition by two points, even when they find out she is a vampire.
*Alva is not actually a vampire by race, and her race is instead that of a normal Nord. This means that she does not have the usual appearance of a vampire, lacking the red eyes; similarly, her appearance will not change with installed. However, she will still use the Vampiric Drain spell, and the Sun Damage and Turn Undead effects do work on her. She will also be highlighted when using the Detect Dead spell.
*If the player speaks to Alva as a vampire, despite threatening them if they refuse to leave, she will not actually become hostile or otherwise impede the player outside of her quest.
==Bugs==
* Alva may be found in Movarth's Lair as a human after completing "Laid to Rest"; attacking her will result in a bounty.
*If she is not killed before the Dragonborn goes to Movarth's Lair, she will go there and will be friendly to the Dragonborn but all the vampires will be hostile towards her. If she survives there, Hroggar will still be thankful for saving him from her, but after she returns home he will immediately become hostile and fight Dragonborn alongside Alva.
*Sometimes, when entering her home she will not be there, and when assaulting Movarth's Lair she may not appear there either though she may reappear back in Morthal later and will not be hostile.
*Even after the Jarl learns that Alva is a vampire, attacking Alva when she is not hostile will gain a bounty and guards will attack if there are any around.
*Alva's appearance does not change to the new updated appearance of vampires found in the Dawnguard DLC, and according to Creation Kit, she is not a vampire.
* Alva may become unkillable.
