📋 About This Mod
Saoirse is a generic Nord follower, she uses the FemaleNord voice type but right now all I hear is Mjoll. I honestly am not in love with any of the voiced options, so, sorry. :| She is not skilled in magic, but in one-handed, block, stealth and some archery. I gave her a couple of warrior perks. She starts at level 10 with no max, and will level with you. She's another that looks great with many different hair styles, so I suggest playing with some wigs to give her. She's got a silver sword and a crossbow, and will wear some version of scaled armor and a shield.
Saoirse comes with CBBE skin textures included, a custom blend by me of Vobla's UUFR and ALT2 by Khisartin. Eyes and Brows are from Khis also - please consider supporting her!!! DDS Workshop

She is usually sitting by the fire in the Four Shields Tavern, in Dragonbridge.
Requirements:
KS HairdosHigh Poly Head by VectorPlexus
Relationship Dialogue Overhaul - this enables her voice. If you really don't want to download it, see sticky for more info.
(soft requirement): Expressive Female Animations or Waifu Expressions. She's designed with one of them in mind, so if you use EFA make sure you're using the EFA patch that comes with HPH. Waifu expressions includes HPH patch files already.
A note on the preset: I guarantee nothing on this, she'll look substantially different depending on the individual textures you have installed.
I would love to see your in-game screenshots, please feel free to post! :)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 267 endorsements and over 6,400 downloads
- ESL flagged so it's light on your load order
- High poly means she'll look good in screenshots and gameplay
⚠️ Cons
- Generic follower with no custom quests or deep dialogue—just a companion
- Backstory includes potentially triggering content, which might not be for everyone
- Last updated in 2022, so compatibility with newer Skyrim versions or mods isn't guaranteed
For Skyrim players who want a visually striking follower without the complexity of a full quest mod. If you're after a companion with rich personality and story, this might feel shallow. But if you just need a good-looking Nord to fight alongside, she fits the bill.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since she's ESL flagged, you can safely add her without worrying about the 255 mod limit, but still place her in your load order after the official DLC.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no manual file placement needed.
- Check the book text in-game if you're curious about her backstory, but be aware of the trigger warning.
