Uthgerd the Unbroken

"Wanna hear a bit of Nord wisdom? You don't know a woman until you've had a strong drink and a fistfight with her."

- Uthgerd

Uthgerd the Unbroken is a Nord found in The Bannered Mare in Whiterun. Her house is located in Whiterun across from Carlota Valentia's house.

History
In the past, Uthgerd attempted to join The Companions, but accidentally killed the boy she was set against. Thus, she was not accepted into the Companions and bears a grudge against them.

Interactions
She challenges the Dragonborn to a brawl for 100 gold. If the Dragonborn wins, he or she receives the 200 wagered and the potential to recruit Uthegard a Follower.

The brawl itself is fairly easy regardless of character class, and can be done at lower levels to earn the bonus money.

Follower
She is an extremely capable follower and wears Heavy Armor and wields Two-Handed weapons. Her starting equipment is a full set of Steel Plate armor (with the exception of Steel Plate Helmet) and a Two-handed Steel Sword. As a follower, she will turn on the player if they are caught committing certain crimes (such as being caught Pickpocketing) and will attack them. Due to her high armor rating and her high damage output, she makes a good tank.

Uthgerd the Unbroken is able to join The Blades, during her adventures with the Dragonborn.

If the Dragonborn steals or murders an innocent, Uthegard attacks them on sight and does not relent until the Dragonborn, or she, is dead.

Marriage
The player can marry Uthgerd if they possess the Amulet of Mara. She can be both a follower and a spouse simultaneously. When married, Uthgerd opens a General Goods Shop, and gives the player a 100 Septim share of the profits each day. The player can also buy and sell things from Uthgerd, though if she is also acting as a follower, she instead tries to sell the items that the player has traded with her back to the player and does not offer her original wares. (Buying her Steel Plate from her this way seems to be the only way to remove it from her inventory, which is useful if you have upgraded her armor, as it is very heavy and appears to count towards her encumbrance. It will cost approximately 2,000 to do so.)

The 100 septim income generated through her shop accrues even if the player does not visit her every day. Asking her about the profit from the shop will result in the player being given the total accrued profits.

If she dies, presumably after the brawl (even by your own hand), you recieve an inheritence by the way of 100 gold.

If Uthgerd is killed in any way her coffin will appear in Whiterun's Hall of The Dead.

Bugs

 * Fighting her in the Bannered Mare on the PS3 or 360 versions may result in all parties in the Banned Mare attacking, as well.
