Skyrim talk:Olfina Gray-Mane

Housecarl to Vignar Gray-Mane?

Somebody added Olfina to the list of housecarls, so I checked CSList[[1]]. She has a line of dialogue where she calls herself Vignar's housecarl, but this relationship is not shown under her associations, like it is with some of the other housecarls. Should we include her in the list of housecarls based only on a line of dialogue? --Xyzzy^Talk 14:13, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

After the Stormcloaks win the Civil War Olfina stands next to the Jarl's throne in the housecarl's spot—about where Irileth stood when she was Balgruuf's housecarl. I also did The Fallen with Vignar as Jarl and Olfina followed him out to the Great Porch to trap Odahving just as Irileth is supposed to do. IIRC Olfina didn't do or say much while we trapped Odahving, but when my character flew off on him I heard her say: "You're either the bravest person I've ever met, or the biggest fool." Which is the housecarl's line. Wyldebill 05:41, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Sleeping

From what I see (CSList) she does go to sleep ineed at 2AM. The previous package (work at inn) does end at 16+10=26=2AM, no other package applies, so she does WhiterunOlfinaSleepEditorLoc. --Alfwyn (talk) 23:51, 21 January 2013 (GMT)

Running on the road

During the Dark Brotherhood Breaching Security quest (though I don't think this is related), I saw her running west on the road from Whiterun. She had no special dialogue. I followed her, and she simply stopped near Brittleshin Pass and turned back, now walking. Any thoughts? 193.77.90.223 11:08, 24 March 2013 (GMT)

Slumming?

I've often seen her in the Bannered Mare in the evenings. Sometimes she pulls out a broom and sweeps the place, which made me think she worked there with Saadia until I saw her surname. Is that something any NPC can do in a tavern? — Unsigned comment by 98.160.100.108 (talk) at 01:05 on 1 April 2013

She does work at the Bannered Mare, one of her conversations with Ysolda even reflects that. She only stops if you side with the Stormcloaks and Vignar becomes jarl, where she will become his housecarl. Elakyn (talk) 09:32, 1 April 2013 (GMT)

Aura Whisper

I used the Aura Whisper shout in Whiterun, and it detected all NPCs except for her. Is there something peculiar about my game that's causing this bug, or is this a general issue? Thermophile (talk) 17:49, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

I got aura for her on my Skyrim SE for Windows with both Aura Whisper shout and Detect Life spell. —MortenOSlash (talk) 20:15, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Cowardice?

Wiki reads: "If she is housecarl, she will also be present for the capture of the dragon Odahviing on the Dragonsreach Porch, although due to her cowardice she won't be much help in bringing him down."

Seems to be pretty strong impugning of her character. What specifically does she do or say which would brand her a coward?
