Having fun with Skyrim again after moving from PS3 to PC and just felt like sharing... I recently started a new Skyrim character, a female Bosmer named Laurana, using the Skyrim Unbound mod which skips the Helgen intro and randomizes your starting location and equipment. It also lets you choose if your character is the Dragonborn, or not. (Laurana is NOT the Dragonborn). When my game began Laurana was at a hunter's campfire just southeast of Falkreath, dressed in light imperial armor. I decided she had worked for the Legion in Cyrodill as a scout and had travelled to Skyrim to find more steady work with the Imperials. With the rebellion she figured it was a good opportunity to make some cash. She obviously had just crossed the border and was resting at a friendly hunter's fire. Laurana served the Legion well through the Civil War storyline as a scout/archer and helped bring the rebellion to a swift end, being promoted all the way up to a Legate within their Auxiliary forces. Once the war was finished, she received a letter from the Jarl of Falkreath inviting her to purchase property in his hold. Evidently he had heard about Laurana's many achievements during the war. As a supporter of the Empire, the Jarl obviously wanted to capitalize on her fame and have a war hero as thane of his hold. Laurana decided she liked Falkreath. The Jarl was an egotistical slimeball, but most of the other residents seemed like decent folk and Laurana fell in love with the woodland surroundings. So she bought Lakeview Manor and began building. Rayya, a female Redguard, became her Housecarl. Laurana quickly learned to appreciate her Housecarl's talents after watching Rayya single-handedly carve up a giant with her twin scimitars and was happy to have the formidable Redguard protecting her home. Falkreath's priest of Arkay, a likeable high elf, asked Laurana if she would recover his journal for him as he had lost it in a cave. This quest took her very near Riften and Laurana ended up exploring a place called Darklight Tower as well, meeting an Imperial mage named Illia and helping the woman extinguish a nest of witches - inclusing Illia's mother, who was performing a dark ritual to become a Hagraven. After helping her to kill her own mother, Laurana took pity on Illia's situation and offered to bring her back to Falkreath; Illia could stay at Lakeview until she got back on her feet. Well, Illia liked Lakeview so much that she offered to become Laurana's steward and stay on. Laurana thought it was a good idea to have a mage around, which would give any attackers a powerful trio of ladies to contend with - an archer, a mage, and a warrior. I'm liking the all-female dynamic at Lakeview and now I'm wondering if Laurana doesn't prefer the company of her own sex. I'm thinking she may take on a wife. There have been several promising ladies she's met. As a fledgling member of the companions (whom she joined right after arriving in Skyrim but didn't advance far) she took an immediate shine to one of their members, Aela the Huntress, who would often tell Laurana that as females they needed to stick together - definitely some vibes from her. There was another gal in Whiterun named Jenassa that Laurana met while having some wine at a tavern. Jenassa appeared interested as well, though she seemed to have a dark kinky side. While in Riften, Laurana met a sweet woman name Mjoll the Lioness who she took an immediate liking to, but Laurana isn't sure Mjoll is into girls because she's always hanging around with a well-dressed guy named Aerin (he might be Mjoll's boyfriend or something). Regardless, Laurana has been openly wearing an Amulet of Mara to advertise her availability and hopes to find a life companion very soon. After that, who knows? There's room at Lakeview to add an addition for some kids. Maybe Laurana will adopt a couple of girls and add to the cast of females.
