Njada Stonearm.

She might not become an oddly sweet and soft-spoken person when you marry her, like Taarie and Aela (seriously--both of those chicks turn into softies when you marry them, but she is far from boring and has additional dialogue, aside from the usual "bad wifey" stuff (i.e. saying your houses all svck, that living in Riften will make your kids little pickpockets, etc) and even does that cute humming thing!

Also, she is a more than a capable follower who is equipped with weapons and armor that match up nicely with her top skills (albeit that her Hide Armor totally svcks--I just give her a special set of Scaled Armor, sans the helmet...she isn't Njada with a Scaled Helmet, trust me).

And, this might just be a plus for me, but she isn't essential, which makes gameplay a lot more dramatic with her as a follower, or just having her around, say, at Lakeview Manor when you get attacked by giants or a dragon (she especially scares the living crap out of me whenever she fights a dragon!).

And despite her oddly colored hair (same with Senna--WTF? Is dying your hair grey all the rage in Skyrim or are they seriously that old?), Njada is, oddly enough, pretty cute too (at least for an NPC in a video game), in a very odd way.

And hey, it beats having her mouth off to you all of the time when your the Harbinger of the Companions....

Senna is 1,000,000x better. She's a priestess of Dibella... DIBELLA! *Giggity*

I always Kill Njada as soon as I see her. I don't like her at all.

thats exactly what i also do i hate her

I've asked this many times but whats wrong with Sims 3: medieval?

It's nothing like the sims.
Marriage in Skyrim is weird but atleast it's in the game.
It's good for roleplaying.

1. Yeah sims is better.

2. Why add a halfassed feature to a game?

1.

2. so they can improve on it in the next game.

3. I guess you dont do roleplaying.

I have to agree with this sentiment. My 1st character married Senna, and she is a Goddess in her own right. Just, not a follower unfortunately on 360. 2nd character married Ria, who he also adores. Nada has a bit of a disposition issue so, he used his perfect touch to pickpocket her so she strolls around in the buff. Interestingly, he also likes Igyiard of the Dawnguard who has the same voice actress and lines as Njada. Igyiard is his steward at Lakeview and at least gets to wear enchanted forsworn armor.
