📋 About This Mod
— O V E R V I E W —
Auri is a Bosmer who lives according to some of the oldest bosmeri traditions, especially the Green Pact. She is a spirited archer, a traditionalist, deeply connected to nature, and morally independent, not always agreeing with the Dragonborn’s views. Her comments and personality make her one of the most lively and beloved followers in the community.
There are plenty of Auri replacers out there to suit every taste, but I still wanted to create my own take on this beloved companion.

As for her appearance, as always, I didn’t want to make her overly cute or simply recreate the original look (there are already some fantastic replacers that focus on enhancing her vanilla design). Instead, I thought it would be fun to blend classic Bosmeri features with a subtle Tolkien-inspired touch, something I rarely do with my original characters or vanilla NPC replacers.
That said, I kept some of her defining traits, such as her warm brown eyes, horns, and red hair. To make things a bit more distinctive, my version of Auri uses a custom skin mashup that combines the freckled Bosmer BnP texture with the BnP Fantasy Bosmer skin. And because she follows the Green Pact, I gave her sharpened teeth as well.

Body compatibility: She has a standalone body and has an option to install bodyslide preset to build armors and clothes for her.
Previous replacer mods: I recommend using Sav
