"All the crime and corruption in Riften is really getting to him... and now that we hear rumors about the dragons, he's been very depressed."
―Drifa, talking about Bersi[src]

Drifa is a Nord pawnbroker in Riften and the wife of Bersi Honey-Hand and co-owner of The Pawned Prawn.

Background

She spends most of the day inside of the store with her husband. She occasionally walks about Riften. Be it outside of the store or inside, Drifa provides no services or dialogue options. When she is inside the store with her husband, they will make idle banter. She is also known to be an avid follower of Mara.[1]

Conversations

Drifa's "spices"

Bersi: "Drifa? I was looking through our books and there's an entry for "spices". Says we spent 300 septims. What is that?"
Drifa: "Spices? I'm certain I have no idea what you're talking about."
Bersi: "You sure? It was in your hand writing. If you can't keep the books straight then let me do them."
Drifa: (with a slight tremble in her voice) "Oh, yes... spices. That was a special order for someone in Whiterun. Should be along any day now. Don't let it worry you, my dear."

Quotes

  • "Bersi's afraid that someone's making a move to take the Pawned Prawn from us. I think he's being paranoid."
  • "We both own the Pawned Prawn together, but he's single-highhandedly kept the place running despite all our problems."
  • "I just care about my husband so much and I hate to see him in this state."

Trivia

  • Bolli says that Drifa is his wife, even though Bolli's wife is Nivenor. This may be an error by Bolli's voice actor.
  • When not in The Pawned Prawn, Drifa can usually be found in front of Brand-Shei's or Grelka's stalls in the center of Riften.
  • While listed as each other spouse when checked through the command console, curiously Drifa's and Bersi's relationship rank is set to 'allies' rather than 'lovers', the latter being the standard for most if not all other spouses in Skyrim.
  • It is implied that Drifa may be embezzling from the Pawned Prawn. In a conversation with Bersi, Bersi brings her attention to an anomaly in the store's record book, in her handwriting. She first lies about having any knowledge of it, then attempts to dismiss it.
  • A bottle of skooma can be found under the bed in the basement of the Pawned Prawn. It is possible that the 300 septims used for 'spices' were actually for skooma.
