- "Most of the time I try and stay away from my dad and Britte, the beating's the same from either one of them."
- ―Sissel[src]
Sissel is a Nord child and a resident of the settlement of Rorikstead. She and her twin sister Britte can be found roaming around the village.
Background
Their father, Lemkil, often complains about how little his children help him with his farm. Sissel lost her mother at a young age and gets pushed around by her twin sister. She is also beaten by her abusive father, who insults her and says she is "good for nothing at all."
Sissel has no friends of her age to play with. She is learning magic from Jouane Manette, who says she seems to possess a talent for it, and talks about visions of a kind, elderly dragon — most likely a reference to Paarthurnax, leader of the Greybeards. It seems that she is abused by both her father and Britte, because she says the beatings are the same from either one of them.
Interactions
If the Dragonborn kills Jouane Manette, Sissel will say "You're mean. I hate you. I hate you forever and ever and ever." the next time she is approached.
If Lemkil is slain, she will appear at Honorhall Orphanage sometime afterwords, and will be a candidate for adoption if Hearthfire is installed.
If her sister Britte is slain, she will thank the Dragonborn and the player will be rewarded. Note that this can only be achieved through mods, as in vanilla Skyrim children cannot be killed.
