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

Companion Arwen was inspired by the character Arwen Undómiel that Liv Tyler portrayed a from the great fantasy book and movies franchise The Lord of the Rings By J.R.R Tolkien and 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 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.
You can exchange her equipment in her inventory. Arwen has own custom elven shield, weapons, amulet, and spells.

She will summon Fire, Ice and, Stone Atronachs.

She has some new features that my previos companions: First off her topic "Can I check your gear...please?" will now only show up once you ask her to join you

She adds a new healing ingredient and plants to the game world called Kingsfoil. She can you give samples or you can find it a very very few places in the game world. Also her ring of calling won’t take up a ring slot and will un-equip it self as well.

1.1 adds in the hot fix for the book. 1.1 also adds more locations in Tamriel world space that Kingsfoil can be found.
