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

Companion Tauriel was inspired by the character from the 3 Hobbit Films by Peter Jackson.

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 compatiblity 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.
You can exchange her equipment in her inventory. Tauriel has own custom elven armor, and weapons.

You can find her in the Elven Gardens district.
