Sontaire is a female Altmer living in Bliss, New Sheoth. She owns Books of Bliss. She seems to be quite the seductress: talking to her when playing a male character causes her to flirt; however, if playing a female she will instead comment that she doesn't like "competition". To see exactly how "seductive" she is, investigate her bedroom on the second floor of her shop: around her bed are chains and shackles. Other residents of New Sheoth confirm her nature by saying: "Sontaire may sell a lot of books, but that's not why the men visit her." Additionally, if one visits her shop later at night, as she's closing up she may comment, "gotta go, got things to see and people to do." A Freudian slip, perhaps?

Sontaire is one of only two people who wear Light Green Regalia, the other being Orinthal. If she dies, Sontaire's body will be taken to the New Sheoth Graveyard with a tombstone bearing the inscription, "Finally, Sontaire sleeps alone." This is very likely a reference to a quote from Robert Benchley about what a woman who was constantly remarrying could have for an epitath. "At last she sleeps alone."
