Anise sitting outside her cabin

"Fool! None may know my secret!"

Anise is an elderly conjurer living in Anise's Cabin. She appears to be a lonely alchemist, with several ingredients, some uncommon, lying around her small home.

Anise will remain in the chair outside of her home until you visit her basement. If you enter her basement, she will be waiting in front of the exit to the cabin.

She wears blue mage robes and a pair of boots. She carries a potion with a restore magicka effect as well as a dagger ranging in quality from steel to daedric.

Dialogue

Anise will pretend to be a kind, elderly woman if you attempt to speak to her before you learn her secret. Trying to converse with her will have her say;

"I'm just a poor old woman, dear. No need to trouble yourself with me."

"It's so nice to have a visitor."

"I get so lonely out here."

"It's tough, just scraping by out here. But I make do."

Near the bed inside the cabin is a small hatch to the basement. Inside is an arcane enchanter, an alchemy lab, and Anise's letter revealing that she is, in fact, a witch. After you exit the basement, Anise will attack, yelling:

"Fool! None may know my secret!"

Notes

• Anise will attack when you exit the basement, though she won't if you leave the building undetected. However, if you exit sneak mode, or are sighted, she will initiate combat the moment you are in the doorway.
• Her outfit, ClothesMageRobesOutfitNoHood, although not specifically made for her, is only used by her. This results in her being the only NPC with this particular combination of shoes with the blue mage robes as a set outfit.
• Although Anise has a bed, she never uses it, as she has no AI packages set up for sleeping.
• When in combat, she often summons a familiar before unleashing flames or frostbite. She also has the potential to summon a flame atronach near her highest level.

Bugs

• If she is killed, her body will remain in the game forever.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.0.1, fixes this bug.
