Description
===========
A companion designed to be used with the brilliant Companion Share & Recruit by TheTalkieToaster, portraying Liv Tyler's rendition of Arwen from Lord of the Rings. I imported the custom character created by ghost13 from the save game file, and made her into an NPC. I classed her as a mage with a -1 level offset to the player, reconfigured her with Breton stats and attribute bonuses for magic users, and gave her elf ears, and Corean hair. All files you need for her aside from Companion Share & Recruit should be included. Please let me know if I've overlooked anything.
She possesses only the clothes on her back. It will be up to you to give her whatever items you see fit. She will not do anything until you recruit her, at which point she'll use the CSR AI.
Good news for those who prefer CM Companions instead of CSR: This companion has been converted to CM Companions, and is available here:

Location
========
She's standing in the Arch Mage's Lobby at the Arcane University. You don't need to be a mage to enter the lobby.
