This mod adds to Oblivion world a Elven female companion derived from Ariana Trudeaux by Blocky and Deedlit Manks by Eamico

Companion Deedlit was inspired by the character from the great anime called Record of Lodoss War

I merged Reznod's Easy Companion Share with the bug fix from companion fixesp which fixed and stops the save game
bloating bug that Reznod's Easy Companion Share had.
Also being a standalone follower any compatibility issues with other followers like Ariana Trudeaux where removed.

I've never had any issues with the character and Oblivion Gates, but with any followers I recommend using Companion Returns from Oblivion or OB Gate Partner Bug Fix.

She has three dialogue branches which will determine how well she likes you when you recruit her as well a some extra topics to improves her disposition.
She can follow and sneak.
She has a horse he can ride when asked to.

The horse can be called to her when asked to ride or in separate dialogue.
When asked to follow on foot she will equip her armor and the horse is sent away/disabled. She has a Heal Party Option option, but it kind of work she will Heal you and you party, but she will stop following the player so you will have to ask her the follow your character again.
If anyone can tell how to fix that with obse I welcome the input.

When she joins your quest you get a Ring of Calling which when equipped will bring her to the player.
She won't take to kindly to your character stealing especially from the Chapels, Mages Guild, and the Fighter Guilds. If you going to do something shady you might get way with once, but it might be best to leave him behind. If you a vampire she may not like you at all.

When you buy a house or complete Anvil house quest she will get topics that will instruct her to go to the houses your character get in game there is an optional patch to work with some house bought in The Imperial Real Estate by Lametrie.
You can exchange her equipment in her inventory. Deedlit has own custom elven armor, weapons and spells

She will summon Bears, Fire, Ice and, Stone Atronachs.

You can find her in the Elven Gardens District.

1.1 fixed the dialog for returning home now the topics will only show up outdoors in Tamriel. Aswell a some minor dialog fixes
1.1 also gives her a new hair style that looks closer to the characters anime design. Also added some new clutter items

1.1a Deedlit will have a Shamanist Bag that boost her magicka that will only work with her.
She will also give the player a bag work for the player once your character reaches level 20.
