Name: Lilissa the Druid - Custom-Voiced Standalone Follower
Version: 1.0
Date: 2018-06-12
Category: Followers
Author: Dama Karmelowa


Description
===========

A fully standalone custom follower using the ROSE open-source voice set by the awesome Kikiapplus. She comes with location-aware comments, her own follower system, custom spells, and a unique outfit.


Details
=======

Lilissa Snowflower is a Bosmer priestess of Kynareth, wandering Skyrim in search of adventure, wisdom, or at least some impressive sights. She's got a journal in her inventory if you want to read a little about her latest venture. In brief, she is currently at the Eldergleam Sanctuary, but is beginning to find the place a little boring, and wouldn't mind resuming her journeys if the right companion came along.

Dreamy and sensitive to beauty, Lilissa feels equally comfortable at court and in Skyrim's most remote hideaways. If you recruit her, she will follow you anywhere, spells and mace at the ready.

Features
========

1. A custom voice set with well over a hundred location-aware comments. Talk to her while in town, out exploring, or relaxing at an inn - she might have something new to say! Her voice set is an open-source asset by Kikiapplus - see link in the Credits section.

2. Her own follower system. She ignores your friendly fire and doesn't count against the follower limit, so you can have her tag along with any other followers you might be using. If you tell her to wait, she will stay put indefinitely.

3. A custom outfit, based on meshes and textures listed in the Credits section, recoloured by me. All pieces of the outfit can be tempered and enchanted. If you want to change her outfit, use a follower management mod like Amazing Follower Tweaks.

4. Custom spells, including a slightly stronger version of Spriggan Spray, and the ability to summon a bear that levels with the player. She can also cast Voice of the Sky (the blessing you get in vanilla game after visiting all the shrines on the way to High Hrothgar). Talk to her if you want animals to leave you alone for 24 h real time!

5. A teleport spell to bring her back if she gets lost. To acquire the spell, look for the "Call Lilissa" spell book in Lilissa's inventory.


Location
========

Eldergleam Sanctuary


Other notes
===========

Lilissa uses the CBBE Curvy body and Fair Skin Complexion textures. Her outfit is technically playable, but will use Lilissa's body and textures where applicable, so it might not look right on your player character.

Her fighting style is Spellsword-like. At very low levels, she mainly uses Oakflesh and Spriggan Spray. As she gains levels, she'll start to heal herself, cast lightning spells, and summon a levelled bear. She also has a mace and knows how to use it if needed.

She has the Light Foot perk.

She levels with the player and has no min or max level limit. Her bear summon also levels with the player - it starts weaker than vanilla, but will become Death the Murder Bear as you level.

At the moment, her voice set has no marriage-related lines, so she is not marriable. Kikiapplus mentioned possibly making a marriage add-on in the future, though, so hopefully I'll be able to make Lilissa a marriage prospect one day!

You can do whatever you want with this mod as long as it stays free and on the Nexus. Some assets I used were shared by their authors on the condition that they are never uploaded to other websites or used in paywalled mods.

All voice, mesh and texture assets in this mod were made by other people. If you want to use the files I modified, that's fine with me, but please make sure to credit the original authors. Credit me as well if you want, that would be nice!
