My take on the famous Whiterun housecarl - or Deowyn, a former resident of Helgen.

The Lydia Overhaul
Aside from her appearance, i just enhanced her main role, which is heavy armored, sword and shield melee warrior.
Spoiler:

Armsman 1 & 2, Fighting Instance, Bladesman, Savage Strike, Juggernaut 1 & 2, Well Fitted, Shield Wall 1, Power Bash
She now also chills in Breezehome in her civilian clothes (hence burdenless), but when recruited, she will equip her steel armor, which is in her inventory. Not having a default armor allows for trading what's in her inventory for any gear you want - light armor, heavy armor, or even getting her to fight wearing a simple dress.
If you rather use a gear manager, there's a version of the mod that keeps her vanilla outfit (steel set plus shield, no helmet).
Important:
Lydia's sandbox fix record from the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch was forwarded in this overhaul, so USSEP is a requirement for Lydia - I can create a version independent of USSEP, but her sandboxing in home will be broken. Source (bottom of the page).

When in Breezehome, she sometimes gets stuck in a loop of sitting down in the chair in the bedroom and then standing up.
Deowyn, follower
Deowyn is a fighter who was training to join Helgen's militia, but family issues led her to take a trip to Riften. While travelling back, she started hearing rumours about what transpired in Helgen, and eventually, when she finally reached Falkreath hold, her aprehension turned into shock, when reality hit: her home was no more.
Stunned, she wandered aimlessly and ended up in Ivarstead. One of the locals suggested she walked the seven thousand, maybe she would get some clarity from the pilgrimage. After fighting some wolves, doing her prayers, and trading some experiences with other pilgrims, she got back to Ivarstead, to look at the path ahead of her.
Wherever she goes, she'll have to start all over again, if she wishes to join any city guard. She could become an adventurer, a soldier of fortune - But where to start? She can't go back to Riften, and she knows her coin is not going to last forever.
Maybe the Gods will answer her prayers and send her a sign...
