📋 About This Mod
— O V E R V I E W —
A noble and fearless Nord warrior with an unshakable sense of justice, Mjoll the Lioness stands against the corruption festering in Riften.
Disgusted by the stranglehold the Black-Briars and the Thieves Guild have over the city, she refuses to turn a blind eye to the suffering of its people. Having survived the perils of Dwemer ruins and the treachery of bandits, she wields her blade with honor, seeking to bring light to a city drowned in shadow and make the world a better place.
Mjoll remains a beacon of righteousness in a world of moral decay.

My goal with this overhaul was to preserve the key features of Mjoll’s original design while giving her my own interpretation.
One of my main inspirations was the wrestler Beth Phoenix, whose strength and presence influenced this redesign. I wanted Mjoll to embody both fierceness and kindness, someone you can trust, who will always stand up and fight for what is right and fair.
There is a no warpaint option that preserves only the makeups, and two warpaint options. The author's choice is based on her original blue warpaint and the other is a custom one based in this reference, Thusnelda's warpaint in Barbarians. Both were made using Collygon's Niohoggr Warpaints, that are some of my favorite overlay mods of all time.
I gave her two custom tattoos and some body scars. Her body is an exclusive version of my The Common Lass 3BA Bodyslide, and the Bodyslide is included in the FOMOD. Mjoll is slightly bustier than my previous characters, but everything remains within the normal proportions of her body.

ESL-flagged plugin.
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 Save Unbaker to avoid neck seams and other issues if she was previously modified in your save.
