*Description
Antonia Octavia, Belle of Kvatch, was, and still is, madly in love with Arnulf, a handsome adventurer from High Rock she had met but was forced by her wealthy parents to marry a very rich merchant, who liked to rape her on a regular basis.
So, on a night, she chopped his head off with his own sword while asleep, leaving him behind in a huge pool of blood and then quickly made her way to her lover, Arnulf.
All this took place several Tamriel month's before the first Oblivion gate appeared before Kvatch city main entrance.
Unfortunately, one week later they were discovered and after a brave fight, wounding several legion guards, but overwhelmed by numbers, she was taken prisoner.
Luckely, Arnulf escaped with nothing more then a few cuts.
Taken to the Imperial City, Antonia Octavia was sentenced to death by....decapitation, in one of the shortest trials ever.
Now, she spends her final day's in prison with the image of her Arnulf getting clearer, instead of dimmer after each passing day....
Fate took an extremely fortunate turn, the Nines MUST had been on her side!
She will see her Arnulf again.......

*Version
***UPDATED***UPDATED***UPDATED****
version v1.02: Save - 870, is also the ordinary looking Antonia Octavia with natural skintone and ponyytail but with no mod dependency whatsoever.
version v1.03: Save - 872, is the more glamorous looking Antonia Octavia with more makeup and Ren's hair. (she is of a wealthy patrician lineage, you know).
Needs '_Ren_BeautyPack_full.esp' active (see mod requirement below)
*****Use save - 870 instead of save - 872 if it crashes!*****

They have both exactly the same facestructure, only skintone and hair differs.
In some shots Antonia Octavia's hair color is lightbrown instead of darkbrown, but it's still the very same face.

*Install
Comes with two .ess savefiles' and two .esp plugin's for mods and companions.
Extract both .ess file in the zip to "\Documents and Settings\Your Name\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves"

I also recommend a save manager like Kyorisu's "Tes IV Save Manager", i use it all the time to test savegames.

If you gonna use a save manager you have to create an additional directory in the "\Saves" directory like "\Saves\Antonia Octavia" and put the lovely Antonia Octavia in there.

This tool is also mandatory stuff when working with savegames, plugins and facecopying.
I'm talking about Wrye Bash ofcourse, download it here.

*Mods
"Natural faces" from MaboroshiDaikon, download here:
http://tessource.net/files/file.php?id=1965
or
"Danis13 Beauty Faces v13 full" most screenshots you see are made with this texture mod installed.
http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=7343

But don't worry, they both look good with either one of these texture packs, it's more a matter of preference, really.

You need "Rens Beauty Pack" for the glamorous Antonia Octavia (Save - 872) , it basicly adds a Mystic Elf race but we need it only for the hairstyle.

*****IMPORTANT!******
Now, i do occasionally stumble upon the infamous bald/blindfold bug with some savegames mostly with hair modifications.
Changes are you will get one with one of these, if not, well, you don't necessarily have to read the following, but it's still very valuable info.
The problem is that Oblivion crashes when entering the face edit menu whether in the sewer or using the "showracemenu" command in the console with this bug.
In case you get one, there is a rather easy solution at hand: "ShowRaceMenu Fix" from Valik.

When selecting the right save file it will probably say that the hair is correct, but you still have to reset it to default, so click "yes".

Worse....if you get a ctd while loading (red bar halts, then ctd), you have to do a facecopy.
Because it's hard to find out what mod causes it, you're left with no other option.
One solution is Elderfacecopy.
http://tessource.net/files/file.php?id=4600
Facecopy with Wrye Bash is also possible but still causes crashes (my experience) so not preferable.
You must also 'prepare' a savegame before a facecopy, meaning, you have to select the right race and gender.
You have to change one of your own savegames, forinstance, a Nord-male, into an Imperial-female using the face edit menu, and then use Elderfacecopy to copy Antonia Octavia's face into your own prepared savegame.

The only thing you need to do afterwards in both cases, is change the hair back as seen in the screenshots because it reverts to stock hair, like windbraids for instance.
You must ofcourse have a mod installed with Rens hairstyles, otherwise you are stuck with the vanilla hairstyles.

And remember when using the 'showracemenu' command, NEVER press "DONE" in the face edit menu, always save your character, AFTER pressing 'esc', WITH the console (still) enabled!
Otherwise you WILL loose all stats of your precious hero....

*Legal & permission
No problem if my characters are used in any mod or facepack so feel free to use whatever faces you like without asking permission.
I claim no copyright, basicly what i do is some smart slider tweaking, nothing more, that in comparison to real mods that adds/change something to/in the gameworld.
Giving credit to me would be nice though...

*final comments
I believe this is (was) my best girlsface to date, do you agree?
Don't hesitate to be critical.....
