Shae Whisper-Strike-PorterHause

Shae is a red-haired, hot-blooded Nord archer follower created by PorterHause and the sister of his character Tish.

She comes with CBBE, UNP and UNPB body options and custom gear from BillyRo and Nisetanaka.

Shane grew up on the family farm not far from Windheim. Shae, the younger son of four, has no particular interest in farming like his older brother Tovald or in the blacksmithing like his father Carag or his younger sister Tish. So at the age of six, her mother left her alone and began teaching archery, a skill her mother, Maris, excelled at and would easily reply "Oh, everywhere" when asked where she learned it. Under her guidance, Shay's bowing skills began to develop until she could beat her entire family, including her mother, in all skill competitions. At the local fair, Shane became a marvel, defeating many skilled archers in friendly competition. Of her two elders, the youngest, Erik, a skilled hunter, begins teaching her to track, kill, and prepare game animals.

As close as her brothers are, Shay shares a special bond with her older sister, Tish. Even though Tish is almost 5 years old, the two of them are inseparable. Tish taught her sister to sing and dance and would braid the little girl's hair in elaborate braids. In turn, Shae would make up some fantastical tales to entertain Tish while her braids were being braided.

When Shae was thirteen, Tish began teaching her how to use a sword, discovering that the girl's natural skills favored using the weapon with each hand rather than the usual family sword and shield skills. At first, this worried Tish, but her sister's speed and grace in her dual swing was something to behold. In fact, all Tish could do was keep up with the two as they remained in spar form in the farmyard. Their father, Carag Ironarm, would take delight in their games and would often declare that he was sorry for anyone who threatened the sisters.

When Tish married a miner at Shor's Stone and left the farm, Shae fell into trouble and lost a lot. Shay's parents would distract her by asking her to retell stories she had made up as a child, and wonder aloud if there was a bard in front of them. Her brother Erik often took her on long hunting trips, which also helped.

Just as she was beginning to recover from the melancholy tragedy. Shane was returning from a hunting trip when he heard the distant but unmistakable sounds of fighting coming from the direction of the farm. Believing this to be a bandit attack, Shae dashed the remaining distance toward her home, only to find that instead of bandits, she was swarming with Imperial Legions. In the heart of the melee battle, she saw her father and brothers, dressed in shaggy peasant clothing, fending off thirty empires with sword and shield.

Without hesitation, Shay put down the rabbit she was carrying, pulled an arrow from her quiver, nodded, and stepped back. The first man Shae killed crumpled without a sound, as did the second and third. In fact, just before Shay fired her fifth shot, a legionnaire noticed arrows on his left and right wrapped around the body. Looking around, he spotted Shae's soft clothes nearly 100 yards from the farm. His warning to the others died on his lips as the arrow led him to the sight.

Shay was saying hello to her eighth arrow and looking for a new target when she saw her burly father shielding the veteran. The loud blow lifted the man off his feet, shattered him, and crammed the mess into his companions behind him. Her eldest brother, Torvald, fencing, split another enemy's shield in two and plucked the man's arm from just below the elbow. Erik, the youngest brother, quickly emerged from the melee, bent his hands, and struck his crippled and blinded enemies hard across the face while taunting them with insults.

Such an outstanding performance made Shane's heart swell. The feeling wanes and sinks as a mugging character emerges from the woods. Thalmor wizard Shae realized he recognized the figure in his hooded robes. The …
