just running around ancient ruins on dates~

<><><>

Been replaying Skyrim for the last year or so, believe it or not. Modded, of course.

My absolute favorite follower mod is Val Serano and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves good storytelling, romances, and adventure~

(Seriously, if you're replaying or playing Skyrim, I can't recommend it enough.) Writers are axarien77 and Krimson Graey. And Krimson is also Val's voice actor! Check them out!

Freyja, The Last Dragonborn

Freyja had spent more of her life in the forests of Skyrim than most of the Indigenous fauna. It was just her and her father. He never spoke of her mother, and Freyja learned quickly that he never would. As guarded as he was, he still made sure that Freyja knew all of the stories and traditions of her people, and taught her all of the proper ways of the hunt. After he died, she adopted a Nomadic lifestyle. She spent a large portion of her early twenties fighting with the companions, even joining the inner circle and partaking of the wolf blood, a decision that would reveal more about Freyja's true origin than she expected.

Despite becoming close friends, and even a short lived romance with her fellow huntress Aela, she was traumatized deeply during her time as a werewolf, and it led to her eventually leaving the companions after Kodlak's death and the curing of both his and her disease.

She spent a few years back in isolation, fighting the tether Hircine had on her soul, until eventually she stumbled upon the broken body of a half-khajit girl. It didn't take long to help her recover, but now this eccentric, noisy, adorable annoying cat wont go away.

Khaari

An Ohmes-Raht, or “half-khajit,” Khaari left Elsweyr for Skyrim during one of Ri'saad's previous ventures. An orphan, with no home to speak of, Ri'saad pitied the young cub and took her under his wing, so long as she pitched in. After many years learning the art of trade, and a few lessons of the blade with Khayla, one fateful trip to Skyrim would see her separated from her caravan by a Falmer ambush, leaving her found family to presume her dead. If it weren't for Freyja finding her bloodied form, and nursing her back to health, that might have been the case.

Now, she stays with the Nord huntress as a form of repaying the debt, and is more than happy to add some flair to Freyja's “hum drum” day to day. A fact Khaari can tell she secretly appreciates.

During a period of separation, Khaari gets scouted by Brynjolf at Riften, and joins the Thieves Guild. She spends a few months with them, quickly rising through the ranks, before she eventually returns to Freyja, with a trove of ill-gotten gifts to shower her crush treasured compatriot with, and a slew of new connections to bring to the Explorer's Guild.

Adaline

Adaline is the Foremost Relic Hunter and Leader of the Explorer's Guild. An Altmer unlike any other, she dares to venture where few others would follow. She personally approached Freyja and Khaari with proposals to join the guild, and when it was revealed that the Nord was, in fact, the last dragonborn, her and Auryen wasted no time refurbishing the dragonborn hall to keep track of her deeds, much to Freyja's discomfort.

When a young redguard man approached Avram in search of a job with the Museum guards, both he and Adaline found that would be a misuse of his talents. He had a knack for detail, and though she'd never admit it, Adaline had never seen someone display such skill with hand and a half blades. Currently, he serves as Adaline's student, who she is sure will grow into a relic hunter to eventually surpass her.

Status: Bad Brain Day, Good Face Day

If there's one thing I can credit these silly outfit posts with it's me getting less dysphoric about my face. Doesn't always work, but... I guess I don't hate what it looks like so much anymore. Glittery eyeshadow helps? xD

Outfit:

Shirt: vintage, no brand

Vest: vintage, no brand

Legacy of the Dragonborn is perhaps my all-time favourite Skyrim mod, so of course I drew something for it! It's an older piece, but made with love!

Here's my favourite nerd, Auryen Morellus - curator, explorer, and font of side quests.
