ColdSun's Visions - Astara Cosma - Imperial Librarian - SMP Hair - Voiced

Overview

A charming, community-friendly librarian follower with over 570 voice lines.

I was hunting for a follower idea and landed on a librarian with real charm. She is designed to be community-friendly, with a lot of voice lines and some great features, and she has a way of growing on you. A big thank you to KiaraRedVA for her hard work and passion on this project. I have wanted to add more features and lines for a while, and I plan to, but my schedule has not let me revisit her yet. Keep an eye out, though: if Kiara is up for it, I am sure we will continue Astara's saga.Features

Backstory

The mysterious Astara Cosma grew up in Solitude, raised in a wealthy family that spared no expense on her magical training from a young age. She has an eidetic memory and reads far faster than most, and because she never forgets what she sees, she can pull up knowledge from books she read years ago. She specializes in fire magic, and through her research she has learned lore that lets her overcome enemy resistance to fire. She can even recite a mantra, learned from a book, that regenerates her magicka faster than normal.

Astara has worked as a librarian in the Arcaneum for over a year, reporting directly to Urag gro-Shub, and she performs her duties exceptionally. The mages of the College have nothing left to teach her, and her magic outstrips even some of the masters. A jealous few have been cruel about her family status and her beauty, but her bright attitude has carried her past it. Lately the other students keep skipping class just to be near her, so Tolfdir and Urag arranged for Astara to continue her training outside the College. That is where the Dragonborn comes in. Who better to walk beside the new hero than a living library? But Astara is far more than that, and her secrets run deep. Travel with her, earn her trust, and learn who she really is.Character Details
