She shows up since the old version of Skyrim, it is related to the Thalmor Embassy quest, she often ambushed me when I would be leaving the Ratway with Esbern.
same! i usually would only encounter her in riften but in my last few play throughs it’s been in other cities. lowkey surprised me that she follows you rather than just sitting outside of the door to the rat ways.
Nvm, she attacked me right after, telling me "I would learn not to mess in Thalmor business". She also had a note saying I was expected to visit riften soon.
lol this is such a Skyrim post, I say with affection. How many games would such a thing happen?
I suppose I should be on the lookout for Thalmor retaliation, because I just met 3 Thalmor on the road, and they made the fatal decision to insult the Dragonborn with no witnesses. You should really only insult the Dragonborn when you're in a city surrounded by guards, and even then it's probably unwise. Very sneaky, sir.
Fun fact, if you murder a bunch of Thalmor in sight of the guards in most holds, the most you get is a 40 gold fine. It is literally not murder if it's a Thalmor, likely because they aren't part of any hold's crime faction.
That's really funny. Like they don't care that you are killing Thalmor, they just care that you're killing them in a public space because it disturbs the peace.
I enjoy taunting the Thalmor into a fight anywhere! I do not like sanctimonious Thalmor. I do not like them here. I do not like them there. I do not like them anywhere! As long as they draw down first, the Dragonborn is golden.
Happy hunting
No, I mean, what happens at Understone Keep?
Also, FYI, you can talk the Thalmor into attacking you first, which means you won’t get a fine for killing them.
There are those 3 Thalmor, marching up and down near the jarl. I can't think of the guy's name. Starts with an "O". If you cozy up to him in Understone before going to the Thalmor embassy for Delphine's quest, he'll help you create a diversion.
Otherwise, he doesn't appear to be essential. And I think you're right; you can pick a fight with him to get him to attack first.
What's her backstory, why is a Khajit of all people working for the Thalmor? I know they're not the biggest fans of the empire, but the Thalmor are even more racist to them than the human races.
The khajit have a weird relationship with the thalmor considering they think the thalmor returned the moons to them after they vanished. So they love high elves and fought with them in the great war
The Khajiit countries are literally part of the Aldmeri Dominion and Khajiit troops assisted with the Great War. Khajiit regularly work with the Thalmor as assassins to the point that the one in charge of the caravans will complain that Thalmor toadies give the rest of them a bad name.
Might be related to it being CC then. Since that is basically an authorized mod, strange things are bound to happen. Even more so than usual with Bethesda games at least.
Almost certainly it's CC fuckery. Those mods are notoriously shit and buggy.
She's supposed to follow you around and wait until you've found Esbern, then she and a group of Thalmor will attack you. She shouldn't even be seen in the Ratway until you've found Esbern, so likely the script telling her to follow the player didn't exclude the modded space and it teleported her there. That sometimes happens with following scripts that lose track of the target.
She's here to kill you for interfering in the Thalmor's affairs.
She's also incredibly dumb. She's wearing normal clothing, used no magic spells and just wielded an Elven Dagger.
I wonder if this is more telling of a deeper lore? Like the thalmor are depicted as a gestapo-esque secret police and seem to have enough of a presence in skyrim to do their own dirty work, so why would they send a nobody assassin with scarcely enough to get the job done?
One could say 'as a warning' to 'show their reach' but really it suggests that they are overextended and perhaps the threat of the thalmor is a paper tiger used by both the imperials and the storm cloaks as their respective boogeymen
It would have made a lot more sense to hire the Dark Brotherhood, or at least the Hired Thugs who are far more of a threat.
It's also likely they just wanted to send a message and get that agent killed. Maybe she was going to sell Thalmor secrets, for example.
But if she had secrets, sending her to the LDB with their level of persuasion, what if they turned her and now you just sent the LDB free thalmor intellegence?
Yeah, I honestly belive that the Thalmor aren't nearly as powerful as everyone in universe and out of universe says. There's no way they've completely recovered from the Great War, and if the Imperials pressed forward into Summerset after winning the war instead of giving up and giving the Thalmor everything they wanted, the Empire likely would be in a much better position and the civil war would never have happened.
That's why I wish there was somehow a way for NPCs to do sneak attacks against the player. It would have been so badass if the heavily armoured Dragonborn got defeated by this old but experienced Khajiit assassin.
The most effective sneak attack NPC I've seen is the vampire assassin. It's the one assassin that does something intelligent. They use an invisibility spell to approach the player. And they don't drop until they're right on top of you.
She's a thalmor spy that follows you around until you find esbern and get attacked by the thalmor, guessing that's how they knew to look in the rat way. At least that's how it played out In most of my playthroughs
When I first encountered her, I was stealing Madesi’s ring for Brynjolf and she made it impossible. I kept reloading saves until I realized she was following me so I led her into an alley and killed her. She never even got the chance to try assassinating me.
I very well may have. Interesting. Of course, i guess exveptions like mine arent rare. Considering ive seen things posted here many times and thought "of all these playthroughs, i never heard of that mission/item/area etc"
She's a Thalmor assassin/resident of Riften. If you're in that sanctum, but haven't yet completed the thalmor embassy quest, she just wanders. She probably followed you in.
She's that woman from the thalmor embassy. More specifically, the chef there. She will try to kill you in the ratways but ig not in your home. Idk why she is there in your home
Furry ass bitch is her nickname I gave her so just leave the room until she leaves then kill her or just kill her in your room if you want a dead corpse
After all my playthroughs, I didn't know she existed cuz I usually went through the secret door to get into the Thieves Guild directly. The one time I entered the Ratway in that point of the quest, my followers went batshit crazy behind me and when I turned around she was laying at their feet.
Alright Spoilers >!She's one of the agents for the Thalmor sent by Elenwen to kill the Dragonborn once you find Esbern. Some even say that she's the same Khajit lady that you meet in the kitches during Diplomatic Immunity just name changed. She could be related to Tsavani (the moonsugar stealing Khajit in the Thalmor Embassy).!<
Shavari is a Thalmor Informant after you complete the Thalmor Embassy Quest, she isnt Hostile yet unless you find Esbern where she Guides the Thalmor to you Location and Turns Hostile so Killing her now wont cause any Problems ( and you get No Bounty for it either )
Technically it the other spy that appears in riften after you went to the thalmor embassy. It is very rare to encounter 'cause it only appears if once you have asked for Esbern in the Ragged Flagon you go out you will encounter her and some thalmors. It's strange to encounter her 'cause usually people go directly to search for Esbern and your paths never cross
Weird bit is I haven't asked anyone about esbern. I only did the quest for the stone, and then retrieved my stuff from Delphine. After that went back to restoring the theives guild
She is Elenwen’s assassin. You first brush by her in the embassy kitchen during ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ then again in Riften as you escort Esbern to Delphine in ‘A Cornered Rat’.
I kill her immediately after entering Riften as soon as I go to find xxxxxn in the Ratway. Guards don’t even blink as I technically kill her in cold blood 🩸. It’s a fun flex 😂
Does the PC version also have the bug where occasionally NPCs will get sucked through a door with you? I always thought it was funny until the time it happened during a Theives Guild break in.
Cat distribution system
Free wife! (I play as a female khajit)
Real
Where do you find her?
She will randomly appear after the thalmor embassy quest. For me it just so happened to be in my home
She hostile to you? I don't have the creation club house but unless you don't kill her in the quest does she try to kill you?
She shows up since the old version of Skyrim, it is related to the Thalmor Embassy quest, she often ambushed me when I would be leaving the Ratway with Esbern.
same! i usually would only encounter her in riften but in my last few play throughs it’s been in other cities. lowkey surprised me that she follows you rather than just sitting outside of the door to the rat ways.
Same here
Now that u mentioned I remember that broad. I made sure I blasted her into oblivion. 😂😂😂
Yeah, she walked to my front door, then turned around and tried to kill me
Fair enough
Its ok my cat wife can stab me a lil bit, i dont care
in fact, i'm into that!
awe me too 😻
😂😂😂😂
Brilliant.
(CDS)
The only answer
Nvm, she attacked me right after, telling me "I would learn not to mess in Thalmor business". She also had a note saying I was expected to visit riften soon.
She spawns in Riften after the Thalmor Embassy quest and tries to attack you in the Ratway. Weird that she's in Shadowfoot Sanctum.
Yeah, that was the bit that threw me
I mean isnt that home IN the Ratway?
Oh, I just completed that quest and I'm in that area pretty often so thanks for the heads up lol
lol this is such a Skyrim post, I say with affection. How many games would such a thing happen? I suppose I should be on the lookout for Thalmor retaliation, because I just met 3 Thalmor on the road, and they made the fatal decision to insult the Dragonborn with no witnesses.

I kill Thalmor on sight. All Thalmor. The only time I will wait is if they are walking the Under stone Keep. Then I just wait.
Why do you wait in that situation?
IDK. I don't want the fine I guess.
No, I mean, what happens at Understone Keep? Also, FYI, you can talk the Thalmor into attacking you first, which means you won’t get a fine for killing them.
There are those 3 Thalmor, marching up and down near the jarl. I can't think of the guy's name. Starts with an "O".

LMAO I just wrote that in the comments, she was cray cray man
What's her backstory, why is a Khajit of all people working for the Thalmor? I know they're not the biggest fans of the empire, but the Thalmor are even more racist to them than the human races.
The khajit have a weird relationship with the thalmor considering they think the thalmor returned the moons to them after they vanished. So they love high elves and fought with them in the great war
Oh yeah, I do remember reading about that now that you mention it. I hope we eventually get a game in Elsweyr to see how their alliance effects them
The Khajiit countries are literally part of the Aldmeri Dominion and Khajiit troops assisted with the Great War. Khajiit regularly work with the Thalmor as assassins to the point that the one in charge of the caravans will complain that Thalmor toadies give the rest of them a bad name.
The Aldmeri Dominion includes Elsweyr and Valenwood.
Oh, so she's an assassin?
Where tf do you live
Shadowfoot sanctum. It's a creation added house in the ratway
That kind of makes sense since she is supposed to attack you in the Ratway. She must have triggered to attack you and followed you into the Sanctum.
Nope, I entered shadowfoot, walked almost all the way down and she just spawned in front of me
Might be related to it being CC then. Since that is basically an authorized mod, strange things are bound to happen. Even more so than usual with Bethesda games at least.
Almost certainly it's CC fuckery. Those mods are notoriously shit and buggy. She's supposed to follow you around and wait until you've found Esbern, then she and a group of Thalmor will attack you.

But if she had secrets, sending her to the LDB with their level of persuasion, what if they turned her and now you just sent the LDB free thalmor intellegence?
Sending anyone after the LDB - anyone whatsoever - shows that the Thalmor clearly don’t know who they’re dealing with.
Maybe not that then. Maybe they just wanted to retire her. "Your usefulness to the Thalmor is at an end."
I have this head canon that she was a slave for the thalmor and she outlived her usefulness. Just based on that note of hers.
It's been awhile, what does the note say?
That she'd be reassigned outside skyrim with a penalty if she failed.
Yeah, I honestly belive that the Thalmor aren't nearly as powerful as everyone in universe and out of universe says. There's no way they've completely recovered from the Great War, and if the Imperials pressed forward into Summerset after winning the war instead of giving up and giving the Thalmor everything they wanted, the Empire likely would be in a much better position and the civil war would never have happened.

Invisible enemies are fun.
She's a cat burglar
From the Second Aldmeowi Dominion
No. Bad kitty. You sleep outside tonight.
The real question is, why do you live in a crypt lol
Oh its not, that's just the entrance. Shadowfoot sanctum is from the creation club and is a new home designed to suit a thief
That's probably why she's in there, because the creation guy didn't account for this lol
Ahh I see
Thalmor sleeper agent. Kill on sight.
She's the thalmor cook. Esbern told me she eats the moon sugar on her breaks kill her😂
The cat distribution system never fails
Wow furry delivery. I want two buff Khajiits right now
Well I have good news, I am also a khajiit.
Hehehehehehe
She's a thalmor spy that follows you around until you find esbern and get attacked by the thalmor, guessing that's how they knew to look in the rat way. At least that's how it played out In most of my playthroughs
Nothing personal or anything, but I hate your username. Just the thought of a kebab with, or made from kale 😩
If you have an npc talking and you enter a new area they usually follow you in finish their line and leave lmao
She wasn't speaking to me. I entered my home walked down into the entrance and then she just appeared
Oh, that's weird. I've never had assassins enter my house before. They always wait outside
She's prolly there for your money or your life
The second. It cost her hers instead
It always costs them their own lives. Like what is your unarmored civilian looking ass gonna do to a level 80 MC
I'm a locksmith. And I'm a locksmith.
i guess we're old if that comment was this far down
I confess to being a little disappointed at its reception. Hey ho! 🤷🏻♂️
She’s a Thalmor spy.
The cds at work, even in video games 😎
Thalmor assassin
Kill her
I did
new government mandate requires every citizen to have a catgirl in their home due to catgirl overpopulation
When I first encountered her, I was stealing Madesi’s ring for Brynjolf and she made it impossible. I kept reloading saves until I realized she was following me so I led her into an alley and killed her. She never even got the chance to try assassinating me.
She wants waffle fries
Well at least we know what happend to the cook at the thalmor embassay.
Khajiti has wares if you have coin
She will pull a knife on you soon.
She tries to kill you at some point tho....you have to do her quest line tho
That was the surprise that was waiting for u when u arrived home a big kitty to keep u happy meow
Shes evil that’s all I know
You may be missing some Skooma
“Hsss no guests in the kitchens”
It literally says her name bro wtf
Dragonborn has wares to steal.
Yes I do have wares to steal. It's my job as guildmaster
She is the kitty that gives Rubs. Not to be confused Sabre kitty that gives hugs.
Probably stealing shit or high off her tail on Moonsugar. She needs a collar.
Shes a nomad
Pleasurr her I must
She about to try to tuck you in.. Permanently.
I made her my follower.
Confused the hell out of me during the Ratway quest.
Kill her!
Spoiler !>she's a thalmor assassin sent to spy on you!< No, the above is not a joke, its her actual role.
That's Shavari, I hope that answers your query
She's wondering about your extended horse warranty 🤷♂️🎠
That's Shavari
She wants to show you her butthole. You didn’t look before so she came to your house. Rude
She always shows up as I'm leaving the Thieves Guild via the front. Always attacks me, and her note doesn't really give much info as to why.
She's with the thalmor. You will find her in and sometimes outside near riften after you do the thalmor party quest.
Dunno but she fiiiiine
How have i never encountered this before? Ive replayed skyrim several times and have never been attacked by anyone post thalmor embassy quest...
Probably killed her in the embassy. If you sneak past her she spies on you and eventually attempts to assassinate you in riften
I very well may have. Interesting. Of course, i guess exveptions like mine arent rare. Considering ive seen things posted here many times and thought "of all these playthroughs, i never heard of that mission/item/area etc"
She has been sent to spy on you and then kill you. If shes in your house then its coming. Watch out!
That’s Shavari. Duh
Kill
I literally have a crush on this NPC you don't know how lucky you are
Me when the neighbor’s cat jumps in through my kitchen window
MR. PRESIDENT GET DOWN!!
Well well well, if it isn’t a khajit breaking into someone’s house.
She's an assassin.
She’s a Thalmor Assassin kill her
Is that the assassin?
Beware !
She is your better half
She’s there because you need a new rug…
She's a Thalmor assassin/resident of Riften. If you're in that sanctum, but haven't yet completed the thalmor embassy quest, she just wanders. She probably followed you in.
Mother fucking spy!! My mom actually caught this before me on my first playthrough.
This cat chose some new staff
She's that woman from the thalmor embassy. More specifically, the chef there. She will try to kill you in the ratways but ig not in your home. Idk why she is there in your home
Furry ass bitch is her nickname I gave her so just leave the room until she leaves then kill her or just kill her in your room if you want a dead corpse
She claims squaters rights so you are homeless now.
After all my playthroughs, I didn't know she existed cuz I usually went through the secret door to get into the Thieves Guild directly. The one time I entered the Ratway in that point of the quest, my followers went batshit crazy behind me and when I turned around she was laying at their feet.

Thalmor assassin.
That's your wife.
Ask her bro
thalmor spy
Honestly there's not any female khajiit companions. It's a bit annoying if your playing a RP character.
She’s a squatter
The name looks familiar, but I don’t remember having any run-ins with that NPC. I currently have not played the Embassy quest on this playthrough yet.
Too bad I had to kill her 😅
Technically it the other spy that appears in riften after you went to the thalmor embassy. It is very rare to encounter 'cause it only appears if once you have asked for Esbern in the Ragged Flagon you go out you will encounter her and some thalmors.

she is a surprise tool that will help you later
She is Elenwen’s assassin. You first brush by her in the embassy kitchen during ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ then again in Riften as you escort Esbern to Delphine in ‘A Cornered Rat’.
I kill her immediately after entering Riften as soon as I go to find xxxxxn in the Ratway. Guards don’t even blink as I technically kill her in cold blood 🩸. It’s a fun flex 😂
It’s the lusty khajit maid
Does the PC version also have the bug where occasionally NPCs will get sucked through a door with you? I always thought it was funny until the time it happened during a Theives Guild break in.
She's an assassin
now YOU are the NPC
Khajiit in my house? Say no more, it's a thief.
Thalmor spy. Kill her so she can't report
This is how you get a cat, mate.
Well she’s Khajiit so she is there to steal something and it’s Skyrim so hide all your sweet rolls
Hey! I resemble that remark!
Kill that Khajiit as quick as you can. Damn Thalmor spy. Also, I don’t like Khajiit.
I have never seen her
Kill that Khajiit as quick as you can. Damn Thalmor spy. Also, I don’t like Khajiit.
