Because I love Scout Harding, that's why.


Harding mentions growing up near Redcliffe, and it seems pretty reasonable to me that her family would take refuge there when the Blight starts to get bad.  Dad Harding is a trader, while Mom Harding is a seamstress, so they're taking the opportunity to sell a few things, too.  Young Lace, however, is running around with a bow.  She has a few ambient lines, pulled from DAI. (good luck catching her)

There are two morph options for Harding - completely vanilla, or frecklicious.  The latter requires SJCs Tints & Textures, Barnzi Face Textures (Freckle tattoos), PineappleTree's Vibrant Colors or Vibrant Eye Colors, and AH00B Hairs.  Her parents' morphs are repurposed ambient dwarves. ;)
(the modded hairstyle does not have LODs, so I have included a mock-LOD - simply a renamed vanilla one - so we can admire Harding's lovely hair without it deforming at a distance)


Can be installed at any time.  Will conflict with anything that also edits the Redcliffe Village area list (arl01al_redcliffe_village.lst).   
The Hardings will only appear if Redcliffe was saved, after Connor's demon has been dealt with.



--Shouldn't she be a kid?  -  There are no child dwarf models.  -_-  Plus, we don't know Harding's age, so assuming she's in her mid-to-late-20s during DAI, that makes her mid-to-late-teens in DAO.

And a massive thanks to Beyond Ferelden, for the great tutorial on (mostly) scripting in a new merchant.
