📋 About This Mod
First and foremost, a little warning. The main reason I created her is because of the difficulty mods that I used. Such as Sands of Time, ASIS, Extra Encounters, Skyrim Community Uncapper, Revenge Of the Enemies etc. Any follower I installed before her got brought down to their knees, literally. And yes, healers too. So I decided to make my own. But instead of adding loads of health, magicka and stamina. Or insane amount of damage. I added abilities that makes her more effective on the battle field without depending on one or two types of attacks. So for the ones who do not use any difficulty mods, there is a nerfed and vanilla versions of her. All her versions have no caps. She will use any type of body you install. And she will be dressed in a random fur armor
