Anya Ashcroft - Follower

Description
Anya is a Breton Dual Wielding Combat Rogue whose weapons of choice are swords. Her fighting style is modeled after Mercer Frey and she has perks that support Dual Wielding, Swords, Sneak, and Light Armor. Anya can not be killed and is marriageable. She will level with the player character up to level 80 (her minimum level is 10).

Anya can be found sneaking around the ruins behind the Battle-born farm (in an alcove) just outside of Whiterun. She has full Nightingale Armor, Nightingale Bow, Nightingale Blade, an Ebony Sword, and Ebony Arrows in her inventory.

I have removed her default bow and arrows so they won't accumulate in her inventory and I have increased her speed so she can keep up while traveling with the player.

There's no quest to gain her allegiance and she doesn't want your gold, just tell her you need her help and she's yours.

I have two mods installed in my game that enhance character faces. If you want Anya to look like the screenshot, you'll need those mods. Both mods can be found on the Steam Workshop:

Luscious Faces
XCE: Xenius Character Enhancement

PLEASE NOTE: If you have the Ultimate Follower Overhaul mod, you will need to make sure my followers load before the Ultimate Follower Overhaul mod in your data files. This may be true for any mod that alters followers in any way. Although my character mods are very basic, not all mods are compatible with each other. If you run into a situation where my character mod isn't operating properly, try re-ordering your mods in the data files, especially the ones that alter followers. If that fails, disable all mods that alter followers, enter the game, save and then exit. Then, re-enable one mod at a time until you find the conflict. You can then set my mod to load either before or after that mod. If it still doesn't work then, it's most likely a conflict that can not be resolved between the two mods and you'll need to unsub to one of them.

**Please remember to dismiss any modded follower before unsubbing or the game will continue to behave as if you have the follower. If that happens, you can reset the follower count in your game by bringing up the console by pressing the tilde (~) key while in the game, then type:

set playerfollowercount to 0

The press Enter, then press the tilde key again to close the console. You should be able to recruit another follower as that command tells the game you have zero followers.

Great follower, yeah, but have a care: if you use a multifollower mod like Multifollower Lite, Anya will assassinate her fellow party members with great relish. After one encounter I watched her slay Illia, and after the next I found another of Jelloshot's followers, Arenaria, murdered and pushed through a crack in the floor. In the third she went for Marcurio, who ran and didn't stop until he was all the way home in Riften (and refusing to ever party with me again - had to use removeallitems to get my stuff back. So I guess we called it even.).

Probably she's set to respond aggressively to friendly fire, and especially to friendly fire aimed at the player, though my Empathy spell doesn't detect the setting. It was mages she tried to murder, after all. Appropriate, I suppose, for a Nightingale.

I ended up giving her back her Nightingale gear and returning Florence to the ruined tower near Battle-Born Farm. Scaaaaary.

Question: What's her REF and Base ID?

I married the above, and when i tell her we are moving, she shows up just when i get there and leaves, for one of the houses i built. She does this no matter where i select she always ends up back at the house i built. And she is not a stewert of the that house.

Hey i had this mod for a while but i wanted a new follower so i unsubscribed from this cuz i wasnt planning on using it again but i had married anya and i thought if she was gone it would free me up for another marriage. i was wrong. do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

well my friend, i was extremely impressed. is it possible i could make a request for a follower who is actually based on someone? if so, think on this; Lindsey Stirling. look her up on youtube. if you do this, she did a Skyrim thing you could base it on.
Thanks :)

Could not get this character to follow me after I subscribed to Willow. So; I have no use for this character.

She should go back to where you first found her.

If I dismiss her, where does she go?
