ColdSun's Visions - Solvi - The Nord Heartbow Ranger

Overview

The Visions version of Solvi, the Nord Heartbow Ranger.

Solvi was one of my earliest followers. Her original design started as what I intended to be a replacer for Njada Stone-Arm. She has changed quite a bit over the years, but her original spirit is still very much intact. You can find her in Rorikstead.Features

• Sleetfury - her custom frost bow (see Powers and Gear)
• Marriage - fully marriable, essential, and she will not break your sneak
• Visions skin - Reverie Skin 1.11+ by Novelyst, with eyes by wammy and docteure from Eyes of Beauty Remastered
• Your body - the Visions series uses your installed body. Compatible with 3BA, BHUNP, CBBE, TBD, and UNP, and works with OBody and WetFunction
• Visions architecture - a smaller footprint and better performance
• ESPFE - ESL-flagged to save a slot in your load order

Backstory

Solvi was once a loyal soldier of the Stormcloaks. Trained as an archer from the moment she could hold a bow, she grew famous for striking targets at extreme range. Something happened during her service that changed how she saw the faction and the war. She vanished for a time, and when she returned, rumors swirled about where she had been.

Solvi had gone to train with a secret squad of archers, the Heartbow Rangers. Their purpose in Skyrim stays hidden, but it was plain she had learned even more of her craft from the mysterious group. She now roams Skyrim helping those in need. As the rumors tell it, she earned the heart tattoo on her face by becoming one of the most proficient Rangers among them.Character Details

Solvi is very strong at low levels and evens out as you level with her. Archers are usually easy prey for heavy melee foes, so I built skills and perks into all my Heartbow Rangers to give them a fighting chance with just a bow. They can use one-handed weapons too, they are simply less effective with them.

• Location - the Frostfruit Inn in Rorikstead
• Class - Heartbow Ranger
• Skills - Archery, Light Armor, Block, One-Handed, and Stealth
• Essential - she will not die on you
• Stealth friendly - she will not break your sneak
• Marriage - fully marriable
