I'm trying to recruit her again but she isn't at my fully renovated home in Whiterun. Anyone know where she respawns?

I may just be one of the uninformed, but I'm not aware of any named NPCs in Skyrim that respawn. Companions can't normally die (unless you accidentally or purposefully kill them when they're down on a timeout from damage), but if they do, they're dead. Period. AFAIK

OR:

Are you asking because you dismissed her or she wandered off and you're wondering where she'll return to so you can pick her up again? If so, all of them (so far that I've seen) have returned to their original place.

Do you know if she was killed. Named characters don't respawn as far as I know. They haven't in previous TES games.

Edit: Ninja'd...once again.

no she didnt die. i just dismissed her because, at the moment, I wanted Lydia to follow me instead.

If she's dead then she isn't coming back.

Try the tower where you first found her, maybe?

i will try that now. will report back.

Strange, she doesn't appear to be there.

if you are PC there are commands to move her to you.

No, I'm on console. svcks too because I really need her right now.

From what I've read the people who HAVE found her say she doesn't respond like a follower anymore but instead just repeats the same line over and over again. So moving her to you won't help I think we need a patch for this...
