Dude cant believe no one mentioned Borghak the Steel Heart. Shes a hot orc look her up. She uses sword and shield with heavy armor. Did I mention she is a sixy orc?
I tried to look her up. Couldn't find a single picture, and only found a video where she's in full Ebony armor. No help there.
I married Aela the Huntress, but got bored with her when I found out she would never transform into a werewolf during combat, and by the fact that she always calls me "love" and "dear" and things like that. What happened to the cold yet caring woman I married? So now she's relaxing in my house in Solitude. My current companion is, sadly, one you cannot marry. She is http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Eola, the cannibalistic leader of the Namira Coven. In addition to being a total hottie, and her cannibalism being an odd sort of turn-on, her magic is awesome, and she'll often reanimate corpses, hurl crazy fireballs, and, if you give her the right staffs, she'll totally torch the place when there's danger around.
I gave Eola the Ring of Namira, and as far as I'm concerned, we're married. It may not be recognized by the Temple of Mara, but screw that. It's recognized by Namira.
