Reldith, an Altmer farmer NPC from Rorikstead who shows up in my alternate timeline fic Her Best Work in Red. This one's 14 years off mainline Skyrim, so this is my spin on her, figure she's coming up on 50, but if you want to try for more vanilla Reldith, I'd say set her at about 30-35 years old or so.

In grand tradition, the initial lora gens are terrible, so you'll have to give me a couple days to build out a gallery and test. I'm having great luck with my loras in draft mode, so you may try that. Prompt tips momentarily, and I'll update if I find something works or doesn't.

This is 52 samples, feel free to download my dataset. Quite a decent amount of artistic nudes actually, some days you trick the generator like Rumpelstilskin, some days. you disappear in a puff of angry smoke. There's a few with her and Ennis hugging, Erik the Slayer, and Karin, my OC, if I get those off I'll post to give you some examples to cadge off of. I've got loras for HBWiR Erik and Karin, you want to try to throw those in they'll likely work by the same rules, I tagged Erik and Karin, like a dumbo I forgot to tag Ennis but what are the odds, try dark skinned male.

The trickiest thing about her, in my opinion, is her eyes, because she's got those weird lime colored Altmer eyes that can't decide if they're yellow or green. I find you're just better off going with green, but if you want to split the difference, you can try "yellow green", or "green eyes with yellow sclera", but hopefully the lora will do its work otherwise.

A sample prompt would be something along the lines of:

Reldith, Age 49 Altmer, very long and angular face, tawny skin, yellow green eyes, blonde hair in double buns, prim and stern and mature features, holding pitchfork, farming cabbage

Negative prompt: Pale skin, golden skin

(Unlike most Altmer shes got like a farmers tan)

So why Reldith? Well, for the fic, she was the only game in town in Rorikstead, but she worked awesome. I love working with the pieces I'm given and finding extra dimensions to them instead of having to invent, especially when its a really minor character. As far as building this sample set, I built up a real appreciation for her design and especially the HBWiR version, you wouldn't think a stern farmer mom could be attractive but here we are.

So's, back to Reldith! She shows up proper in Chapter 2 of Her Best Work in Red, and gets herself into a messed up love triangle/surrogate situation, but first I'll push the fic again here:

Summary (HBWiR Reldith)

Reldith is a High Elf farmer living in the small hamlet of Rorikstead, middle-aged by human standards though elven longevity means she still carries herself with quiet vitality. She is a serious, self-possessed woman, not cold exactly, but someone who has clearly decided that dignity is worth protecting and that she has little patience for people who don't respect it. She works the land, keeps to herself, and has an adopted son named Ennis.

Her history with Karin is a long one, and not entirely comfortable. Karin has been throwing sideways glances at her for years, and Reldith is thoroughly tired of it. She doesn't flirt back. She doesn't encourage it. When Karin sits down across from her in the tavern, Reldith's first words are essentially "what do you want this time."

What Karin wants turns out to be extraordinary. She propositions Reldith to sleep with Erik — Karin's closest companion, a man clearly in love with Karin — as a kind of proxy. Karin is only attracted to women and cannot give Erik what he needs emotionally or physically, but she also cannot bring herself to let him go. Her solution is characteristically chaotic: arrange something involving all three of them, with Reldith standing in for her.

Reldith sees straight through it. She tells Karin plainly that if she simply wants to sleep with Reldith herself, she should say so honestly. When Karin insists that's not it, Reldith pushes further — if Karin truly cares for Erik, why not simply be with him? She calls the whole scheme a coward's solution. She is not wrong.

And yet she agrees. Not out of desire, not out of being swept up in anything, she agrees as an act of deliberate, clear-eyed mercy toward two people she can see are genuinely stuck. She even sets her terms: once, and only while Ennis is away. Afterward she is candid: she found some enjoyment in it, but she's not sure she'd seek it again, and she's glad Ennis won't be around to ask questions.

She is, in short, the most grounded and self-aware person in the room in every scene she appears in which makes her an effective foil to Karin's chaos, and gives her a quiet dignity the game's version lacks.
