📋 About This Mod
Thank you for understanding, and please check out the new version!
Orchid is now part of Pandorable's Heroines with updated stats, a custom body and a few small fixes to her face.
Orchid is standalone, meaning that she doesn't require any other mods. She starts at level 5 and will level with you indefinitely. Orchid grew up in the Dark Brotherhood, but has since left to go out on her own. Thanks to her training in the Brotherhood, she is just as deadly as she is pretty.
Orchid moves silently and light as a feather, and is highly skilled with a blade. You'll find her in the Ragged Flagon in Riften. She comes equipped with thieves guild armor and her own dagger, Heartripper. 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.
LEGENDARY EDITION: Here.

For Skyrim players who want a lore-friendly, deadly follower with a Dark Brotherhood background without dealing with mod dependencies. If you're looking for the most up-to-date version, skip this and grab Pandorable's Heroines instead.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since she's essential, you don't need to worry about her dying, but a follower framework like AFT or EFF can help manage her inventory and behavior.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- She uses the UNP body, so if you have CBBE installed, you might see seams or mismatched textures.
