As most people know, Skyrim cracked the Japanese Famitsu rankings as the first Western game to attain the perfect 40/40 score. Since then some of the most inventive mods for the game were created by Japanese, but then the most glaring thing was that despite a stellar cast of voices for the English language version, there was no details whatsoever about the Japanese voice cast.
More specifically, I was trying to find who voiced Elisif the Fair and Ysolda, and initially I thought it was a dead end when even UESP had no information about them.
Until now.
My curiosity piqued this early morning, I decided to find out by pecking in some keywords, both in English and in kanji, which took me to several websites until I found this list:

Now, before you proclaim it as comprehensive, there's a disclaimer that the list isn't official and that I think the editor of that wiki had to figure out which seiyuu (voice actor) voiced which NPC in the game. But even then, I had to match the names by search and then run the video on each of the characters, until I found out who did Ysolda -- it was a woman named Ao Takahashi, casted in minor roles in a handful of anime but also in other productions, such as CMs (television ads). Fortunately her agency's website has a sample of her voice, so hearing enough, I think she's indeed Ysolda, and by extension, the FemaleYoungEager voice type is also used by this mod.
As for closure, I'll leave this video for your enjoyment. :)
