📋 About This Mod

2025 Update

Anabella is now a part of

MXT Followers AIO

The AIO includes the exact same follower plus 19 other girls, all using a shared resource pool to minimize disk space used, but the girls all share a common body mesh.

User body and skin variants are also available for the AIO.

*Anabella's AIO version uses the base version (not the realistic version) and comes in vanilla clothes and weapons. If you prefer the variants offered here, use this mod instead.

Version 1. 2: Realistic Edition added (Preset added in Misc. Files)

An ancient prophecy tells of a great hero, the Last Dragonborn, that will arise and face Alduin in a showdown that will decide the fate of Nirn itself. Having felled her first dragon at the Western Watchtower of Whiterun and discovering her ability to absorb its soul, Anabella was first set upon her path of destiny by the Greybeards.

Unfortunately, she was greatly distracted by other events that happened around her concurrently. In the course of her journeys, she gained great power and influence, leading the Companions of Whiterun to glory, bringing riches and fortune back to the Thieves Guild, gaining the title of the Archmage of the College of Winterhold despite only using a shield to defeat their enemies, aiding the Dawnguard in their struggle against the vampires etc etc

Things were going well, until a certain warrior clad in pitch-black armor sought her out while she was clearing her list of endless favors of fetching; the shadowy warrior challenged her to a duel, which she accepted without hesitation.

On that fateful day, Anabella was struck down. Her companion, Megumi, desperately tried all manners of healing spells and potions to keep her alive, but she was fading out fast. Her opponent sheathed his weapon calmly and stood over her, removing the Elder Scroll from her back. After a great sigh of disappointment, he opened the Scroll, held it facing Anabella's direction, and began a strange and powerful chant. The snow around them rose and swirled while the ground beneath them began to shake. A mystical force took hold of the two girls and suspended them in mid-air. The warrior closed the scroll, and spoke, as though in riddles, to his defeated opponents as they began to fade in a blinding light,

The Sundered will succumb to the Umbral darkness;

The Collector plots betrayal, for the artifacts must scatter;
