📋 About This Mod
Thank you for understanding, and please check out the new version!
Freya is now part of Pandorable's Heroines with updated stats and a new look. Olfina is covered in Pandorable's NPCs with a (in my opinion) much better 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.

FAQ
Q: Can you make a version with a different body/warpaint/hair etc?
Freya Gray-Mane is a standalone follower mod by Pandorable, adding a fierce Stormcloak warrior to Skyrim. She levels with you, uses a sword and shield, and has a daily schedule in Whiterun. The mod also includes an optional Olfina replacer. Note: this version is outdated and no longer supported, with a newer version available.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Highly popular with over 2,600 endorsements and 116k downloads, so you know it's been tested by the community.
- Standalone follower means no dependency headaches—just drop it in and go.
- Freya's schedule and gear make her feel like a real part of Whiterun, not just a generic follower.
⚠️ Cons
- This version is outdated and no longer supported by the author, so you're on your own if issues pop up.
- The newer version is part of Pandorable's Heroines, so you might miss out on updated stats and looks if you stick with this one.
- If you use both Freya and the Olfina replacer, they'll look identical—so you'll want to pick just one for immersion.
For Skyrim players who want a lore-friendly, badass female follower with a daily routine and unique gear. If you're a fan of Pandorable's work or just want a solid warrior companion without extra mods, this is for you. Skip if you prefer the updated versions or want a follower with more complex quests.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is an older mod, make sure your Skyrim version is compatible—especially if you're on Special Edition, you'll need the Legendary Edition version.
- Use a follower framework like AFT or EFF to manage Freya's inventory and combat behavior, as the author recommends.
- If you want the Olfina replacer, install it as an optional file, but don't use both Freya and the replacer unless you want identical twins.
