Anise

"I'm just a poor old woman, dear. No need to trouble yourself with me."

- Anise

Anise is a Nord who lives just southwest of Riverwood.

Appearence
She appears indifferent to anyone just visiting, but is secretly a witch and will become hostile if she sees anyone stealing from her or if the Dragonborn enters her cellar, which contains an arcane enchanter and an alchemy lab, as well as various alchemical ingredients. There is also a letter in the cellar which may indicate that she is more than just an elderly woman with innocent motives.

Trivia

 * Her sister Moira will send hired thugs after the Dragonborn if she is stolen from or killed. This is confirmed by the contract on her body signed by the same Helgi to whom the letter in Anise's cellar is addressed.
 * If one steals items from her cabin without entering the secret room and then leave without harming Anise, hired thugs will be sent by Anise herself. This is confirmed by the contract found on the thugs, signed by Anise.
 * Stealing from Anise, then killing her at a later point, (but before the thugs show up) may result in the scenario where the letter from the thugs is signed by Anise herself.
 * It is possible that she may reveal her powers if wolves or bandits happen to come by as the player is near, as she will attack them with magic. This, however, is rare.
 * It is possible for Anise to send hired thugs without ever coming into contact with her.
 * If encouraging Illusion spells such as Courage and Rally are cast toward Anise, she immediately turns hostile.
 * If the Dragonborn is without a house, her house is a good place to temporarily stay due to the arcane enchanter, alchemy lab and ingredients, and because her cabin is a marked location on the map.
 * After leaving the basement, if the Dragonborn leaves the area without killing Anise, she will forever be hostile, attacking upon each subsequent visit.
