Haelga

Haelga is a character in Skyrim. She can be found in Riften, where she runs Haelga's Bunkhouse with her niece, Svana.

Haelga is a very loose woman, according to her niece, who says she sleeps with three men a month. Her reputation is further enhanced with contextual evidence from her bedroom: a bed with handcuffs, a shelf full of stamina potions, a Horker Tusk and Leather Strips underneath her bed, a jar of honey on the dresser, The Lusty Argonian Maid I and II, as well as a shrine to Dibella, a deity that Svana claims she worships too much. Haelga also wears an Amulet of Dibella. There is also a note on her store counter from a "Secret Lover".

If you kill her niece, she wil flee the bunkhouse. When she comes back, she states she is too upset to talk.

Bugs

 * If you start the miscellaneous quest given by Svana and try to confront Haelga with the marks after speaking to her about the bounty from Taking Care of Business but before collecting her bounty, you cannot initiate dialogue with her (she will repeat the "blood from a stone dialogue".) This can easily be taken care of by following the steps in the quest to collect her bounty without killing her (see Taking Care of Business quest page.)
