# Lydia — The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Character LoRA for Anima (2B) — v1

"I am sworn to carry your burdens."

---

## About

Lydia, the Whiterun housecarl, trained on in-game screenshots in her Steel Armor (her default outfit).

Made for an anime fan film project (cel-shaded, dark fantasy look). The LoRA keeps her identity — dark brown hair, green eyes, single braided sidelock, Steel Armor — and lets the checkpoint and your style tags decide the rendering.
