THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON HEART
Version 2.xx


*****************************************************************

1. ABOUT

*****************************************************************

Mirai is a young Breton mage living alone in the harsh frozen wastelands of Skyrim for close to a year. Originally from High Rock like the rest of her kind, you'll be quick to learn a situation with her father caused her to seek refuge alone in the lands of the north. What the situation was, however; she's not as open about. Mirai had always been a delicate girl, a fawn under her mothers protection -- a sheltered life but with the adventurous heart of a dragon. As such being forced to learn to become more independant so quickly was a struggle but found a way to carry on. Her long time alone in Skyrim has begun to have an affect on her once sweet demeanor and now comes off as a much more abrasive, distrusting, overall 'cold' person to others. Her front comes to falter from time to time as at the very heart of her being she is still the same delicate girl she once was and perhaps just needs someone to open up to to help her solve the problem that continues to plague her from the inside out.

Mirai fights mostly with ice focused magic and kites when she can but is not afraid to get close and dirty in melee.

Mirai is my first attempt to give something back to the community which I had taken so much from already. While Mirai is still in her baby steps, I strive to make her as complex and praise-worthy as the other great followers on the Nexus. Wonderfully voiced by the very talented Yui Hisiashi, she currently has over 1000 lines of spoken dialogue!

2. INSTALLATION

*****************************************************************

Same as any other mod, download and apply with manager or just drop the files in your data folder. I've deperately tried making her compatible with other mods but load order is still tricky with some mods. If encountering problems, try moving zMirai.esp lower than follower overhaul mods.

*****************************************************************

2. UPDATING FROM TEST FOLLOWER VERSION (A really old one)

*****************************************************************

IF USING AN OLD SAVE, A CLEAN SAVE IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

A clean save is a save file where the mod has never been installed before. Not a save where you disable the mod, create a new save, then re-enable the mod.

*****************************************************************

3. STARTING THE QUEST

*****************************************************************

Starting the main quest line requires that the player have progressed the main Skyrim quest line up to meeting the Greybeards and being announced as the Dragonborn. For "another life" players use the debug book found next to the bed in her house to force start the quest line.

Mirai is contemplating her situation with an old friend near her home in Markarth. Listen in and jump in at the right time to offer your help.

4. FAQ

*****************************************************************

1. I lost Mirai!
- She tends to stick around when fighting and the player runs for it, consider using the summon tome found in her home or her built in option of teleporting to you by enabling it in her option, "About how close you follow me ..."

2. What's taking so long to finish?
- Most of my work was done 10/2014, it's just a matter of getting volunteers to help voice my work. I don't pressure people who are doing me favors.

3. Do I need any other mods?
- No

4. How do I marry her?
- By being patient! Complete the main quest line. Then talk to Mirai about herself.

5. Where is the Orc? Why do these markers point to nothing? (old system)
- I never liked magic arrows telling you where everything is, you should comb the town for him. If you really wanna know he's in the Barracks Jail.

6. Uh, what happened to Shin?
- I originally had a much bigger role for him to play but as I found it increasingly difficult to get voice actors to voice all this stuff for me I tried to write him off as best I could.

7. I found a bug!
- Let me know ASAP! Comment section or PM is fine.

8. Is Mirai lore friendly?
- Hah! Maybe, it depends on how you look at it. She's more of a "what if" lore. The story also assumes your role as the Dragonborn, so sorry "another life" roleplayers.

9. I don't understand so and so ...
- There's a lot of stuff I have to leave out because it can't be really explained through casual dialogue. I'd be happy to explain through comments if you have any questions.

10. What's with the Dragon? (old content. completed now)
- He's for the whole calling Dragon's thing you see in the trailer, you can see the amazing work of the voice actor that's voicing them in the start of the quest for The Dragon Siren.

11. I talk to Mirai but her quest doesn't start. Help!
- Ok not really a question. On v2.00 Mira's start quest was changed. You no longer just enable the mod and walk up and it goes. You need to have progressed the main Skyrim quest to the point of being declared the Dragonborn. You can skip this by using the debug book inside Mirai's house next to her bed.

12. Where is this debug book?
- Inside Mirai's house in Markarth. Next to her bed there is a stand in the corner. The book is on top of the stand.

13. Can I marry a Mirai and a vanilla NPC too? (also see #14)
- Yes. Mirai's marriage has a separate system from the normal Skyrim marriage.

14. Why don't my other mods don't recognize Mirai as my spouse? How do I fix it?
- You can force Mirai into the vanilla Skyrim marriage system which will make most mods see her as your spouse. Doing so will remove any other spouse you might have though. To do it, goto Mirai's house in Markarth and use the debug book. Once the marriage to Mirai is complete there is an option to put her in the vanilla marriage system. You will receive a warning and be required to choose yes or no.
