Coming back to Whiterun from Forsworn territory, I was heavy with their fur armor.
Therefore I thought I would take Jenassa for a spin!
(All female followers look splendid in Forsworn stuff, if you didn't already know...)
Smithed/Enchanted a nice setup for her including Rings/Amulet etc.

Now it's no big spoiler that a guy in Falkreath sends you to clean out Bloodlet Throne...
A nasty place full of undead! So I took Jenassa.
Equipped with two killer Smithed and Enchanted Elven swords, she bounded ahead like a boisterous puppy.

And she DIED. I was shocked and restored from savegame...
Made it to the big Boss this time - and she fell once again.
She is fearless; suicidally fearless!
You could say stupid, heheh... but suicidal sums it up most concisely.

I stood and stared at her attractive green-skinned corpse, beautifully fitted out in all the Enchanted stuff I had given her...
Took a screen-grab, so I would never forget.

When I restored from savegame once again, it took all my knowledge, skill and guile to get her through and out of there without perishing.
A far bigger challenge than I ever imagined!
She is now safely back in her little chair inside the Drunken Huntsman.
Where she will remain, LoL... for eternity.

Me? I'm flying solo from now on, heheh...

Up until I made my very first mage I never really used followers. I had heard great things about her so I brought her with my as my first follower (cant remember the dungeon). Anyway, she ended up dying.

I took her to Valtheim Towers and she died quite quick.

Pros-
good with a bow
good with 2 swords

cons-
Dunmer
dies quick
annoying
ugly

Jenassa is doing a good job as companion for me. Absolutely badass with archery and a beautiful looking Dunmer.

But I usually don't like to use companions.

Followers definitely need to be improved next time.

The only follower I use is Annekke.

I rarely use them in any game because most times they get me killed. I have tried three out so far. Brelyna from the college. She wasn't bad, but I didn't take her into a cave or dungeon. Just outside travel stuff. Traded her in Solitude for the bald guy ... Belrand, Bertrand, whatever. He promptly got my DiD character killed in about an hours playtime. Reincarnation of DiD character hired Vorstag and so far so good with him.

Made my own custom follower called Aerius Crassus...roleplayed him as my characters best friend whom he escaped from cyrodil to Skyrim with. Forgot to set him to essential and he ended up dying at the hands of draugr.

Needless to say, my character screamed out "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" When he saw his friend die at the hands of a swarm of draugr. His corpse still lies in the crypt where he died. Quite an appropriate place for him now it would seem

I could agree with this.

Actually I think I have a thing for Dunmer women...?
(Scary, right?)

Yes Annekke is gorgeous (almost finer than her daughter I was married to).

one of my favorites, it's nice to see her tender side when you marry her, almost.....character development *gasp*

She's never died on me. My thief had her as his follower for quite a time, they took turns in shooting arrows and dual-wielding swords - a perfect match (only in fights, though - in bed, he preferred Sapphire, and she hooked up with Vorstag ).

She's easily one of my favorite followers. Love her dark humor. "I thought of becoming a bandit..."

Barely used Jenessa as she Is my immediate choice to sacrifice to Boethia.
