📋 About This Mod

JWD's Red Sonja - A Female Nord Follower

She is inspired by the Red Sonja of the comics created by Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith.

Like all my other followers, they come with the following features:

1) a tracking marker that can be toggled on/off in the Misc section of the Quest Journal,

2) a summoning spell,

3) can usually be married depending on their assigned voicetype (some mods might require RDO to be installed),

4) can dual-wield,

5) come with a few perks that match their combat style,

6) are master trainers,

7) cannot be killed -- they are "essential", and

8) use the vanilla follower framework and not a custom one (ie. follower mods like Inigo and Recorder use a custom follower framework).

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

JWD's Red Sonja adds a female Nord follower inspired by the Red Sonja comics, located in Riverwood. She uses the vanilla follower framework, is essential, can dual-wield, and comes with a summoning spell and tracking marker. Includes perks, master training in Two-Handed or One-Handed, and uses assets from popular mods like KS Hairdos and CBBE.

✨ Key Features

Adds a Red Sonja-inspired female Nord follower in Riverwood with a tracking marker and summoning spell.
Uses the vanilla follower framework, so she works with standard follower mechanics and can be married (with possible RDO requirement).
She is essential (cannot be killed), can dual-wield, and has perks matching her combat style.
Acts as a master trainer in Two-Handed Weapons (default) or One-Handed Weapons (alternate NPC).
Uses assets from KS Hairdos, CBBE/UNP body meshes, Leyenda Skin, The Eyes of Beauty, and Maevan2's Brows.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 294 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
  • Uses the vanilla follower framework, so she's compatible with most follower mods and doesn't require a custom framework.
  • Comes with a tracking marker and summoning spell, making her easy to find and manage.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in February 2020, so she might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE updates or newer mods.
  • Relies on assets from other mods (KS Hairdos, CBBE/UNP, etc.), which may require those mods to be installed for the intended look.
  • Potential conflicts with mods that alter follower frameworks or Riverwood NPCs.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a themed, comic-inspired follower with practical features like master training and essential status. If you're a fan of Red Sonja or want a strong female warrior companion, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer custom-voiced followers with deep backstories.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod through it to avoid manual file placement issues.
  • Since she uses the vanilla follower framework, you can recruit her like any other follower—just talk to her in Riverwood.
  • If you want her to look exactly as intended, make sure you have the required asset mods (KS Hairdos, CBBE/UNP, etc.) installed, or she may use default textures.
