_Light armor
_She is a skilled Archer also very good at 1H sword, ranger class.
_She comes also as a castle version to avoid overcrowded cities, she will wait for you at Sapphire castle close to for Greymoor IF you choose this option.
_If you want to save disk space an "asset" version is available, it share assets with another of my followers that uses this feature, Farodadestin's asset pool is required, also erasing zipped file is recommended once installed to really save space.

Faq
_It´s safe to install? Yes
_How i intsall it? Use any mod manager of your taste or drop the content folder on skyrim data folder.
_She is marriagable? Yes
_How i change her body and textures? Unzip folder, look at body mesh folder, put your meshes there (replace it), rezip and install. For textures something similar but involves CK and it´s a longer process, watch guides on youtube.
_She is too powerful, too weak- Use ssedit.
_Why do you link other game assets? Only for credit purposes, search it for yourself
_Is not lore friendly_I don't care
_What is an ESP-FE? Normally skyrim allows 255 esps (mods plugins), well this not count

Ava is a custom Wood Elf follower with light armor and archery/one-handed skills, available as a standalone follower or as a replacer for Auri, Beleval, Lydia, or Serana. Includes an optional castle version and an asset-sharing version to save disk space. Requires Farodadestin's asset pool for the asset version.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 503 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Flexible install: use as a standalone follower or replace popular NPCs like Serana and Lydia.
- Asset version is a smart space-saver if you already use Farodadestin's pool.
⚠️ Cons
- Asset version requires another mod (Farodadestin's asset pool) and manual file cleanup to actually save space.
- Customizing textures involves CK and YouTube tutorials—not a quick tweak.
- Replacer versions overwrite vanilla NPCs, which may conflict with other mods that alter those characters.
For Skyrim players who want a new elven follower with a specific look and combat style, or who want to swap out vanilla followers for a fresh face. Also good for those who want a marriageable companion with optional placement. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or fully voiced followers—this one is a silent preset.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use the asset version, delete the zipped file after extraction to actually free up space.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other mods' files when installing the replacer version.
- To adjust her power, open the plugin in SSEEdit and tweak her stats or level multiplier.
