Description
Alina Winter-Breath is a young Nord woman that favors light armor and the greatsword. The brilliance of her golden hair makes Dibella herself envious, her eyes hold an enthusiasm that shine brighter than any of the stars in the night sky, and her silky complexion is fairer than the wintry ice of Winterhold. But, do not let her youthful appearance fool you into believing that she is a common urbanite who hides behind the safety of stone walls. This gem will allow no jeweler to lock her in a strongbox. Indeed, just as the beauty of her visage rivals that of the most flawless diamond, so too does the hardness of her spirit. The ice of Atmora flows in her veins, and through her mighty breath enemies fall frozen. Her craving for adventure is strong. Seek her out in the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood, and together you may both experience the wonders of Skyrim.
Background
For generations, Nords, with the exception of the Greybeards, have been without the power of the voice. But, one family chose to uphold their ancient heritage and trained their children to wield the power that had long been forgotten. Alina Winter-Breath is one such child. Her father raised her and her brother to be strong warriors capable of tapping into the blessing of Kyne, and, now that she is of age, she seeks to claim her glory and fortune with a hero that is worthy of her partnership.
Technical Details
When I figure out how to do questing, I'll have her interact with changes in the world and have her comment on the outcomes of major questlines. For now, I recommend taking Alina on as a follower after you have been declared the Dragonborn for the sake of immersion. As I learn more about using the Creation Kit, Alina will be updated until she is a fully-fledged character with her own questline. She is a barbarian class follower, meaning she has preferences for light armor and 2 handed weapons. She is designed to level with the player for the sake of balance. I did not add any perks because I recommend using ASIS, which automatically adds perks to NPCs as they level up. Because I do not have access to a voice actress, and because I have not yet written all of her dialogue, I simply used xVASynth to voice her and did my best to make the audio sound as natural as possible. Version 1.0.1 uses the xVASynth custom voice, and version 1.0.0 uses the default FemaleYoungEager voice. I do not intend to update Alina version 1.0.0 because of the limitations imposed by the vanilla voice type.
Requirements KS Hairdos AFAIK, no other mods are required.
Version 1.0.1 Alina uses her own custom follower framework, so I do NOT recommend trying to manage her with EFF, AFT, UFO, NFF, etc. Version 1.0.0 IS compatible with follower framework mods because she uses a vanilla voice type. She is NOT a standalone follower, so she will use whatever bodyslide preset and body texture you have installed in your game. If you do not use Bodyslide or texture mods, then her body will be the same as any other female NPC; her face should still look like the images above.
