Wow, I love this shot. And your game looks so stunning...

Awww! She looks lovely in that lighting! And, yeah, blue does look good on her. 
Thank you for this!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you like! Unfortunately, she and Aravi have parted ways for now. Aravi found Kharjo...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, it's all good.

I'm thinking of having Jenna take up steward duties at Lakeview manor when we get it built. And use my mod to park Erik there too. To "help."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome! Yep, she can be a steward, so I'm sure she'd be happy to be Aravi's. And I'm sure she wouldn't mind Erik's company, either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It wouldn't be too boring for her would it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, well, if Erik was around, I'm sure she'll be fine.

This almost sounds like the beginnings of a silly story...

Or perhaps with a whole bandit army on their heels?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LMAO! OMG!!!! That would be hilarious!
Aravi: "JENNA! ERIK! WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!?!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think she might regret hiring Jenna as her steward and Erik as... whatever position he's in.
Nah, they might cause trouble every once in a while (since both need to roam every now and again), but otherwise, they'll protect Aravi's homestead just fine. They both have a a strong sense of duty and honor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Pshhh, I was enjoying where this was going.
I feel bad for Aravi's Morthal housecarl. He's living in a dinky cabin, in the middle of nowhere, alone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahaha! Well then, let's continue!
Jenna: "WE PROMISE TO CLEAN IT UP!!!!
Erik: "But first, can we get some help... PLEASE?!?!??!"
Oh, Valdimar? I heard he can be a real pain to spouses. But he usually stays around the fish hatchery in my PS3 save. Even though Erik's my steward (not spouse, because no mods), I really wish he and Valdimar would get into it! I want to see what happens!
Hmm... not sure who I feel more sorry for. Aravi or Rayya.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I had to google Rayya. I've never actually seen her! I guess Aravi's always taken the land the jarl offers and never came back! He's kind of sleazy, so Aravi avoids him.
So Jenna would marry Erik if she could?
Aravi and Kharjo never officially married. They just sort of grew together and then... well you know what happens. I assume a Khajiit marriage ceremony would be different from that of a Nord anyways.
Aravi: *sigh* *Summons storm atronach* GET INSIDE!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, even though Jenna is a Thane of Falkreath, the Jarl's still mad at her for killing all of his guards, so she doesn't get Rayya or to buy a homestead. (I think I glitched the game on the PS3.
Well, before I found out Erik wasn't marriageable without mods, Jenna was looking for a husband, so when I came across an NPC named Erik, I was like, "Whoo! Let's go for him!" (Since my then fiance, now husband's named Erik). Well, as you can imagine, things didn't turn out so well. But! Jenna wasn't going to waste a trip to Rorikstead so she decided to take him on as her follower. And, I think she fell more in love with him (And they really do work well together!)... but now she suffers from a "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" mentality. So, even though I have Skyrim on the PC, I'm not entirely sure if I'll go through with it. We'll see. I'm sure curiosity will get the better of me gamewise.
I would imagine so. After reading some Khajiit lore, it might even be that only the rich or important Khajiit get officially married. The rest just claim mates (I know. Where's the romance?) I don't know for sure. Khajiit are quite mysterious.
Jenna & Erik: "Yes, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aravi: What? You two think you're going to sit down with a mead? Help me hold the door!!
It's not glitched, each hold tracks crime separately. Though, with a slaughter like that, you would think that there would be word reaching the other jarls. Lakeview is Aravi's favorite, its probably the warmest one there! And then there's swimming in the lake. Just too bad its under one of the worst jarls in the game.
It took Aravi a long time and a catastrophic event to decide she was for Kharjo.
Ha! Well even if that's the case, it can still be romantic without an official ceremony. Maybe they throw a party instead?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Jenna: Okay, right there!
Erik: Um... it's there enough room for me? I mean, I'd love to help...
Jenna: Get your happy Nord butt over here and help!!
Well I know that. I just didn't know I could lose my Thane-dom. 
I think at this point, something similar is going to have to happen to get Jenna out of her, "Woe is me, there's no way a Nord could ever take me as I am" schtick. *rolls eyes*
Jenna knows a few guys. She'd be happy to help plan Aravi and Kharjo's wedding party!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, Jenna walks into Aravi's house and says "I like what you've done with the place."
Hahaha Jenna. I guess sometimes it takes a near death experience to figure out what's important. Aravi at least knew she wanted to take that step, but was afraid. And then was even more afraid that if she waited it wouldn't happen.
It'd be a very late party, but why the heck not?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha! "Can you... uh... cover the goat heads?"
Is there anything special about Aravi's homestead?
Well, if it makes Jenna feel any better, due to how she reacts to certain situations, Erik's not really willing to take that leap of faith, either. Ah, stalemates.
Awww. Sounds like torture for Aravi. Such a gentle soul.
Haha, okay!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bleh, Aravi never hangs up the remains of critters in her house. It's always the stewards that buy them and hang them.
Nothing too exciting. She gets the greenhouse, the library, and the storage room. Not that she needs the storage, but because of the porch that overlooks the lake. She's had a couple of intoxicated mage-y guests once toss fireballs over the lake from the porch.
Food... now that's something I haven't thought of a lot. She grew up in Morrowind, but she does not like the bugs they serve there. She hasn't been in Elsweyr or if she was, it was when she was very little. She lived in Cyrodiil for the largest chunk of her adult life.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then Jenna's not buying/making any goat heads.
Hahahaha! I'm sure Jenna would love to clean up after that mess.
Jenna: "Uh, Erik? Can you help me clean this up? These mages really left a mess."
Erik: "I hate wizards and their spells..."
Jenna: "I know, I know! But you can't clean things up with an axe, okay?"
Erik: "Fine! Hand me the broom."
Aravi: "Pffrft. They act like an old married couple, don't they, Kharjo?"
Kharjo: "This one thinks so."
Does she like sweets?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol. They are very good friends, I think Erik and Jenna would get along with the one responsible for the fireballs. He's a big Nord battle mage, though he probably would hit on Jenna. She can just show her claws and threaten his 'lads' and there won't be a repeat.
What Khajiit doesn't like sweets?
Also what does Jenna eat? What's her home like?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hahahaha! He sounds like a sweetheart. Though I know of another person who wouldn't approve of him hitting on Jenna.
Actually! Degra, DegraZul 's OC.
Jenna's favourite foods are sweet rolls and salmon (both cooked and raw). She also likes a good hearty meal of venison and potatoes, or venison stew. And though she would never kill a pet or follower, she does like the taste of dog meat.
Winstad Manor is pretty well decked out with everything, including the cellar. Haha! Well, I don't want to give away one thing, but let's say she does have a wing with a porch. She also has an alchemy lab and a kitchen. She was going to opt for an armory instead, but her steward (Erik) made a very convincing argument as to why she should go for the kitchen over the armory. (Though, between you and me, I think it's because he has a hobby that involves the kitchen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Heh, that's the way he is. Otherwise he's jovial. Now that other person, is it Erik?
Somebody has to be different. Aravi doesn't seem to dislike anything. She seems to like breads more than meats and fish.
Aravi likes sweetrolls too, but gets them infrequently. I don't think she's ever tried dog.
Something about her house is so special you can't tell me? Make some special modifications to the house??
Erik's a cook? Well I know who's going to be preparing food after the bandit army is dealt with. But by now there's probably a pile of them in front of the door and they are now trying to get in through the windows! Hopefully they don't know fire magic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maaaaaayyyyyyyybeeeeeeee.
Haha, of course!
Nah, it's just a plot point I don't want to reveal yet and by telling you what the wing is, then I think it might give away something. Even though I did give away Erik's secret about him cooking AND baking. I figured he picked it up when his father was training him on being an innkeeper. He actually likes baking. and yep! He'd be willing to cook for everyone after the bandit army is dealt with!
Haha! Well, Jenna preferred frost magic and shouts, so she'll freeze them in their tracks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooooooh. So he dooooess have the hots for her. Haha.
Kharjo's been a gentleman so far. He took the news that she was a werewolf hard, but considering the way he found out... torn apart vampires and Aravi naked in a huge pool of blood and filth. Aravi was bad about sharing important details about herself in the beginning.
Oh Jenna has a torture chamber!!!! Ahhhh! She's the dark brotherhood listener!!!
To be fair, I always imagined Erik being able to cook. Surely his dad would have made him do that working at the inn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. Yeah, he does.
Awww!
Hahaha, yes!!!!! Since she loves hearing the screams of her victims!!!!
Yeah, I think we agree on that. I think the coolest thing is in Hearthfire, he actually does operate the oven for baking. It's pretty awesome! Too bad he actually doesn't make anything. (I wish NPCs could craft things. That'd be sooooo coool!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahhh poor Erik and Jenna. They'll figure it out.
Well, he did mention he went to prison for gambling. Perhaps it was something else? It's hard to imagine him being up to anything really nefarious, being a big, fuzzy, cheerful, Khajiit. Hmmm... Now I feel like there needs to be something...
I want to know how Jenna's both a warrior for the Companions and a Nightingale. Seems like a heck of a double life!
I thought about making NPCs craft. I decided it would be a heck of a lot of scripting.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, they will. Hopefully before it's too late.
Haha! Poor Kharjo! I agree, he's too sweet to have anything too nefarious.
Well, essentially, Jenna just has a hard time saying "No" to people who say they need help. And, well, when Brynjolf challenged her to lockpick something, she had to take the challenge since her pride was on the line. The rest will be explained in Season 3 Episode 4.
(The truth of the matter is, I just never thought I would actually make this into a story, so Jenna joined all of the factions because I'm an achievement wh*re. But, when I did come up with the story, I thought I would be compromising her character if I didn't include all of it, the good and the bad).
I bet it would be! But it would be cool!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Did you do the Dark Brotherhood with her? In my mind, if that's officially part of her story, then Jenna's an evil character.
I remember when Brynjolf approached Aravi, she told him to take a hike (in more explicit terms).
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Overnight, I was trying to remember my thought process regarding joining the Dark Brotherhood, and I remember that I justified it as "killing is killing. Jarls have me kill bandits and giants and stuff, what's the difference here?" So, that was probably Jenna's original thought process, but as she continued on, she realized there was a HUGE, soul-crushing difference. After completing the questline, she's never been back and ignores the Night Mother's calls. Like I said before, she's not proud of what she's done. But I still don't feel right changing how I played her in the game to make her into a purely "good" person (even though that what she wants to be now that she's figured out how the world works). I feel I/she has to earn it after what I/she has done.
(Yes, this is eating me up inside, okay?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Here's my reasoning for dividing up fun and story:
How does a basically good character decide that murder is ok? How do you go from, say saving a town from a dragon attack, to killing them for money? Now I've seen a lot of people do mental acrobatics to try to justify what their characters do, but premeditated murder is a hell of a line to cross.
And I know that Bethesda makes a lot (not all) of the people you kill in the game to pretty much deserve death, but 'they deserve it' is not justification.
I haven't actually played either the Thieves' Guild or the Dark Brotherhood because doing so with Aravi felt too wrong. She actually accidently killed someone once and she beat herself up about it for a long time, to the point where she took terrible risks to her own safety to be absolutely sure that someone was an enemy.
Anyways, putting it in the past is a good way of handling it if you are determined to keep it. I would honestly have a difficult time enjoying her story if she was still an active member of that particular guild.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Definitely. I do agree with you on that. And after playing, I really regretted making those choices. How can you be both a hero and a villain at the same time? I can make excuses and do mental acrobatics all day and it still wouldn't make it "right."
It seems like you already had a firm plan for Aravi before playing her.
To me, it makes it more interesting for Jenna to have to later address her pre-Erik actions/affiliations. Since, I was never fully comfortable with the TG or DB (but I did them anyway for the experience), I really like that Jenna tries to make up for her mistakes later. Or at least acknowledges that what she did was wrong and is trying to make things right. Yeah, she's not active in it anymore at all. It was pretty soul-crushing for her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yay! Not that she had her soul crushed, but that she's trying to make amends.
Aravi was a character in Oblivion for 1 - 2 years before Skyrim came out. I develop characters slowly, so when Skyrim came out I was loath to abandon her. I just kinda ignored the whole 200 year jump. 
Really glad you discussed this with me. I know when it comes to OCs its easy to get really protective of them. And I'm rigid when it comes to the stories I enjoy. When I get to like a character, and then learn that they are out killing people for money or what have you, I feel almost betrayed by them. It's silly but it legitimately makes me dislike a story.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I didn't think you meant the soul-crushing part.
Lucky.
No, it's good! I'm glad we had this discussion, as well. I figure better now than when I do reveal it. But hey, I completely understand your point of view. It can be really jarring. And make you think, "Wow! How long has this character been fooling me?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So what's Jenna's favorite shout?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In the comic, it's definitely Unrelenting Force. Though I think she also finds Ice Form very useful (and she does like frost magic).
Aravi?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For a long time she really liked Fire breath (because hey, breathing frickin fire) but one that is far more useful to her is Become Ethereal. Whirlwind sprint is another that is most useful. With both of those shouts, she gets to mages and archers with her swords.
Aravi's earrings are enchanted with shout time reduction!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, awesome! Jenna has used Whirlwind Sprint for defense and getting places, but she's only used Become Ethereal once because she decided she wanted to jump off of a really high tower.
Really? That's cool! Is that a mod?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aravi's tactics reflect her lack of defence, so Jenna might not need to use them in that way.
Probably two mods. I have one that makes earrings craftable, and then another that removes a lot of the slot restrictions on enchantments.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, Jenna would try them out anyway.
Oh, okay! That sounds really clever!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! I forgot! She hasn't used it in a while but elemental fury is another favorite of hers.
