📋 About This Mod

Freya is now part of Pandorable's Heroines with updated stats and a new look.

Freya is based on this preset that I made a long time ago, and has been highly requested as a follower. I made some minor changes to her appearance but tried to stay true to her original look. She's a fierce stormcloak warrior and a proud member of the Gray-Mane clan. Like her sister Olfina, she can slay a troll as well as any man - if not better!

Freya is standalone, meaning that she doesn't require any other mods. She starts at level 5 and will level with you indefinitely. She's a strong warrior and has basic training with all types of weapons and armor, but her true talent shows with a sword and shield. Freya recently came back to Whiterun after months of adventuring, and you can find her at the Skyforge between 9am-4pm, in the Wind District between 4pm-11pm or inside House Gray-Mane between 11pm-9am. She is using steel plate armor, a steel shield and a special skyforge blade that her father Eorlund made for her. As always, I highly recommend the use of a follower framework such as AFT or EFF as well as Relationship Dialogue Overhaul to get the most out of your followers.

By request, I added an Olfina Gray-Mane replacer under "optional files". For immersion, she doesn't have the warpaint. It is perfectly fine to use together with Freya but unless you want them to be identical twins, I would suggest just picking one of them.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no special load order needed, but place it after other NPC overhauls to avoid conflicts.
  • Check if you have any mods that alter Olfina's appearance or AI, as the replacer option might conflict—use the standalone follower if unsure.
  • Make sure you have the latest Skyrim patch and SKSE if you're using mods that require it, though this mod likely doesn't need it.
