Let's face it, Skyrim is a gnarly land of snow and stone, raising only the strongest of people, men and women alike. Some of Skyrim's ladies are fierce warriors and some simple barmaids. Out of all the female NPC's in Skyrim, which do YOU think is the baddest?


I think i'd have to definitely cast my vote towards Jordis Sword Maiden. Out of all the female companions she's the nicest, and best in combat. Give her a 2h, she'll put a dent in a bandit squad. Out of all the female companions I think she looks the best, in Skyrim, Nords are the most attractive race. As it should be. Now who do you choose? ;D

The baddest? That's clearly Potema the Wolf-Queen. She's really, really bad.

I see what you did there, I'm talking more of a.. Bad ass. (:

Bad a Star Star? I have no idea what a bad a star star is, but it doesn't sound pleasant.

I stick by my choice. Potema is really bad.

Most baddest female NPC...that's easy, Maven Black-Briar.

And why would you say thattt? ;D

Mjoll. She makes bandits soil themselves. She told me a story about it.

That was definitely my second choice!

Definitely, Mjoll. Cliff Racers don't even faze her. She has a badass sword. She has badass facepaint.

It's an asterisk, buddy!

A bad a star star is an asterix? Well, there's only one Asterix as far as I'm concerned, and he's a he and not in Skyrim.

Slayeddddddddddd. x) Ahahaha..

Bah, nevermind. The "Star" you're referring to in your first post in this thread was actually called an asterisk, mind you.

Jarl Idgrod the mom, hands down. She's helping us in a certain party and sleeping with her steward, and she's living in a marsh full of mudcrabs an ocassional chaurus.

Illia is one powerfull mage; and an amazing companion to have by your side. Her ice spears are deadly. I have lots of fun massacring hords of forsworn with her.

I also have lots of respect for some one that can

Bet Jarl Idgrod's been around eh?

Aela the huntress. Enough said!

Aela, Jenassa, Mjoll and Uthgerd the Unbroken in that order.

Uthgerd is so.. Ugly though.. D: I feel like if you're going to be a true bad ass lady in Skyrim, you've gotta be hot and strong as hell!

It's so true. Uthgerd looks like a hagraven mated with a bear; punching her in the face actually made her prettier.

I don't think Aela's all that badass, either. She's a cocky, pretentious furry who writes checks her ass can't cash. She's got a bad attitude, that's all.

But you know, I've been thinking; as badass as Potema is, there may be one girl who trumps even her in that department. Babette. A loli vampire who murders pedophiles and talks with an adorable lisshp? She's like Hit Girl mixed with Bloodrayne.

Aela, Mjoll and Maven Black-Briar....oh and Vex...a little

Vex is a useless infiltrator, she screwed up the simplest job in the world: Killing bloody bees.

Well, it depends on what consistutes being bad. Do you have to be tough, or just need the right attitude? I mean, a bad-mutha mage isn't going to punch their fist through kittens like a warrior would...maybe blow them up, but not use their fist.

No votes yet for Irileth?

I just mean bad ass in all aspects, whether this is being very attractive, very smart, very strong, or just good at everything! Who do you feel is the baddest biotch in all of Skyrim. ;D And I hear that on the Babette ahahahaha!

Well, I married Sapphire, who does a pretty good job of filling the description in your preceding post. You first meet her when she's shaking down some dude in Riften because she lent him money to order something, and then robbed the caravan so he wouldn't be able to pay her back in addition to having his stuff. After that, she's like the only woman in the Thieves Guild (or at least the cistern, anyway. Obviously Vex and Tonilia are out in the Floating Flagon.) I find her to be quite good-looking, though her wiki picture doesn't do her justice. She's taller than my Nord woman, and bares her arms to emphasize her strength. In fact, she's not half-bad in a fight either. So yeah, don't count her out.

But I don't think of her as a badass. I do think of Irileth that way.
