Jenassa

Jenassa is a Dark Elf assassin and a possible follower who can be hired for 500 Gold. She can be found in the The Drunken Huntsman, in Whiterun. If the player possesses the Amulet of Mara, Jenassa becomes a candidate for marriage.

When married, Jenassa opens a Shop, and gives the player a profit of 100 Septims each day, and everyday that you don't collect from her, it adds up. She can be both a follower and a spouse simultaneously.

Abilities and powers
Jenassa has a varying set of powers and skills. Her base armor can be replaced by the player. She uses a sword and shield combination at close range (iron, unless given better), and is capable with it. If given two weapons she will dual wield. She also carries a bow that she uses at long range or when sneaking.

She possess no known magical abilities. She can wear both heavy armor and light armor, but prefers light armor (She will equip Ebony Mail only if no better light armor is present in her inventory). She will equip the weapon with the highest base damage for melee, but will not equip a bow or arrows more powerful than her defaults. She can also use staffs, such as The Staff of Magnus, and can use two Staves simultaneously.

Bug/Glitch

 * If you do the Companions quest Proving Honor, where Farkas becomes you shield brother, Jenassa will disappear for an indeterminate amount of time and may or may not return to the Drunken Huntsman where she was found. (After I experienced this bug I found her, along with multiple copies of Louis Letrush and Saadia by the Whiterun stables. However, this was after the Siege of Whiterun which is when I first noticed the three disappeared characters there. [Unconfirmed XBOX 360]
 * Jenassa may lose her armor after a fight (experienced in the main quest after fighting Alduin for the first time). The armor cannot be found nearby and she seems to lack the ability to put new armor on (except for armor such as gauntlets, boots and helmets.
 * Even when given a higher powered bow Jenassa seems to always use her default. This problem doesn't seem to change when enchanted bows are given.
