yeah, there are plenty of good Aela replacers around here, but none suit my taste, so I made one myself.

probably one of the most popular characters in skyrim, especially among fellow horny men. I ,however, never really cared for Aela, her vanilla face looks ugly af and I don't like her personallity all that much lmao. that being said, I thought it was a good challenge for me to do a overhaul of a character I didn't really like and try to make her more likeable.
this replacer is very very light, and has no extra requirements, the ESP is not needed for the mod to work, unless you use something like Bijiin warmaidens,or you would get a black face bug otherwise. since this mod needs her vanilla records and bijiin changes that. (the ESP IS flagged as ESL).
patches to DIRT (Disparity and Diversity) are available, as I use it myself. a no-warpaint option is also available. BUT SIR WHY MAKE A OVERHAUL OF HER SINCE THERE ARE A BUNCH OF BETTER OVERHAUS ALREADY? answer is, because I want. I'm a big fan of promoting as much variety in options as possible, you are free to download and use any mod you want, its your game afterall, and no one should tell you what you can and can't do with it.
big thanks to wammy for the help with the screenshots!
