Quantum fr I was playing it for the first time and she said her parents died I was like damn you my daughter now then and sold so much shit to buy a house
Me going to any other merchant: Nah I aint buying your stuff bruh, now give me money for all this crap I don't want Me seeing Sofie's flowers: *I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK*
@@russianbot5302 House carls, Plus bards, plus carriage drivers, plus Stewards, and a spouse in one house. You can totally have at least two kids in each manor. With my over 100,000 gold I can pay for everything all the four people nned to do is protect and take care of the kids.
@that_aesthetic_petrichor Same. I like them both becoming siblings because their parents were on opposite sides of the Civil War. Blaise's with the Imperial Legion and Sofie's dad with the Stormcloaks.
I always adopt Blaise and Sissel in my playthroughs. I like to role play as a Sister of Battle that is trying to spread the Emperors Word to Tamriel. She adopted Blaise to train as a future Imperial Comissar, and Sissel to train as a future Healer for the Imperium of Mankind.
@@Jasscie Eh, Blaise talks smack about poor Lars. Sure, the kid is a milk-drinker but you don't have to rub his nose in it. Blaise gets a pass from me. The roof over his head may suck, but at least it's a roof. He doesn't sleep totally exposed to the elements like poor Sophie does.
When I first saw lucia, sleeping at the back of someone's house, I dropped an apple, where she sleeps. She came running saying I dropped something and gave my apple back. I adopted her afterwards.
Everytime I start a new a game as soon as I become a jarl I adopt that sweet hearted child only choosing a sibling is a choice, When I become I father my future wife will have an extremely hard time for me to not to call a daughter if I have one Lucia
Theory The farmer couple you occasionally see wandering Skyrim who say their home was destroyed by a dragon are Lucia’s aunt and uncle who are dead and cursed to wander Skyrim for eternity trying to find a new home as punishment for throwing Lucia onto the streets and stealing her home
@@viniciusmachado7032 That’s the theory I go with since the Loreius farm is owned by an Imperial (Lucia also is one) and is close to the border between the Pale and Whiterun Hold.
It's a random shot, Sofia and Lucia, Sofie and Blaize, Blaize and Alesan, Lucia and Blaize, Alesan, Sofia and Alesan, Lucia and Alesan . Leave Sissel behind like the monster you are!
I wish the child-parent system was more fleshed out and each child had their own unique personality. They all have unique backstories but once you adopt them they all feel the same.
Yeah I agree it’d be really cool to watch them grow up and even be able to recruit them as a follower. At the very least it would have been great to be able to bond with them a lot more
Like each child liking different presents. Sissel could like spell books, since she'd been studying with Joanne and even practice her magic in nearby training grounds because it just makes her feel safe after all the things she went through. (You could even enroll her in the College of Winterhold after completing that story arc as a special favor from them for helping them.) She could be a book nerd and be found carrying one instead of playing with the other kids. Aventus could be more prone to alchemy or daggers after performing the Black Sacrament to summon the Dark Brotherhood successfully and/or be a bit more of a mommas boy/be concerned for your health when you check in (since his mom got ill and died). "(Mom/Dad), you don't look so good.. Are you okay? You've been getting enough sleep, right..?" Sophia could tend to her own personal garden after you purchase the land and even give you ingredients for potions as thanks every so often, happy she doesn't have to sell away the fruits of her labor to survive and can now just grow her pretty flowers for fun. I forget the name of the kid that has to tend to the farm for his Aunt after his parents died/were killed, but he could be more prone to bringing home animals because he seems to be good with them and could even ask you personally for a healing hands spell book he heard about from the Jarl's mage so he can go help an injured animal he ran into. This in turn could wind up being dialog for getting a pet.
That's cuz there was no thought put into this crap, Skyrim allows to adopt just for the sake of adopting. You can't do much with the kids and they don't much period. It's a completely wasted feature of Hearthfire DLC tbh.
I have no idea why But i think that there is a chance However small That sissel is a dragonborn Think about it How did she dream of parthanax, alduin's brother and lutenient, the dragon that helps us complete the prophecy of alduin's wall The "last" dragonborn as it is called And we know that dragonborn have prohetic dreams because of the start of TES 4: oblivion
@@superabdoking5372 Dragonborn or Moth Priest, it's obvious that she is definitely special, would be extremely cool for her to be Dragonborn, just inherit this title from us lol
imagine if you could adopt 2 kids for every house you own you can get a house from every hold except winterhold that's 8 plus raven rock that's 9 and with hearth fire that's 12 that's 24 children alduin wont even know whats happening when 24 children all armed with wood swords of paralysis start wailing on him from all sides that concludes my ted talk
Nah, take them all to the windhelm house and train them all by giving them wooden swords, then when they are ready equip them all with enchanted dragonbone gear and weapons and take over every city and replace every guard, housecarl, jarl and workers with children and imprison the adults
So, I just adopted a kid for the first time (in Skyrim). Sofie's story really got me when I talked to her. I'm somehow really emotionally attached to my digital daughter. I go to my home daily just to play hide and seek with her........ I need a life 😂
I was playing on survival mode and my character was freezing his ass off in windhelm just about to die of cold and then I see her sleeping on the ground outside. I'm like "man I know children are invincible, but damn" 😂
Me, I always go for her when I'm running a Breton-based "Reachfolk" (or as close as can be done with just AE) build, as much for the sheer fucking irony of a Nord girl having a better life along the southwestern border than in the the home, hold and hall of a Thalmor crank-plant whose mantras include "Skoyrem bullongz tooda Nords!"
I may have married Anwen. I may have a big house called Lakeside Manor, but I wish I could adopt several children if only they allow us. I would make those my priority namely: Sophie Brinna Runa Fair Shield Svari
I adopted Lucia and Blaise myself. I wish I didn't have to install mods to adopt more. I wanted to adopt Sophie after watching the Dark Elves pity her and see her sleep outside. She definitely has it the worst imo. It's so cold there.
I started a new character just yesterday and I was able to buy the small house in Whiterun before even hitting level 10; I immediately adopted Lucia afterwards. Once I make it to Windhelm Sophie comes with me too. With one of those odd buff bugs and Lydia at my home as well as decent furnishings they'll never be alone and cold again.
In one of my favorite playthroughs my character's reaction was basically "This little girl just walked up to an orc wearing full heavy armor and asked him if he wanted to buy a flower. Either she's just that desperate or has balls of steel and either way I'm taking her in from the cold."
This is truly a testament to Skyrim’s world building. People care about these kids so much that they’re willing to buy a house just to give them a home. (Myself included). One of the reasons I love Skyrim so much.
I always tell myself to have some variety with my playthroughs but Sophie is a guarantee adopt. The second I found out she sleeps outside in Windhelm I was like "Okay, you're coming home with me".
You can own like 10 houses, each with a guard (and depending on the house up to three other workers), who can look after kids. You could probably take in and support every orphan if Skyrim. Even if you don't live with them, that's still tons better than what most of them have now.
So how does it work? You basically have an unlimited access to each of your homes to have children in them? Or does it let you literally also buy other homes to use that normally arent purchasable? Like the Orphanage mentioned?
This playthrough I'm definitely adopting Alesan and Sofie. I feel like Sofie and Alesan would freeze to death without a second chance. Alesan would definitely die an early death working in the mines as a child. They have the saddest stories and situations to me. And both are sweethearts and very hardworking. Once Grelod is dead, Honorhall isn't the worst place for the four kids already there and it's better than an abusive family for Sissel and Britte (I hope that Constance will be a good influence for Britte). Lucia and Blaise definitely have sad lives, but they live in warmer areas of Skyrim that are economically stable. Lucia could find her place working at the temple of Kynareth or the inn and Blaise could end up inheriting the farm once all the adults die or are too old to do anything (or I could just speed the process up and kill them all)? Regardless, I think these two could make a life, even in their current situations. But Alesan and Sofie would probably die before they hit their teenage years.
With mods, I went with Blaise, Sofie, Alesan, and Lucia. A week later, I said "screw it" and adopted the other four from the Riften orphanage as well. Now Proudspire Manor is bustling with life. 👍
Don't kill Constance. She is a really nice lady who does care about the kids, and if Grelod is killed she actually puts them up for adoption (unlike Grelod, who refused to have any of them adopted because she used them basically as slaves). Grelod herself, though... you can literally murder her in plain sight and not even get a bounty for it. This woman is so hated by literally *everyone* that the law won't lift a finger for her if you kill her.
@@gildeddrake1479 Recalling some personal experiences, there are some people I can name that are as vile as Grelod to the point that their deaths wouldn't be even mourned, so much as celebrated....
If you could actually train them and stuff, I would train them to be thiefs like me and introduce them to the thiefs guild. And maybe they would become nightingales. Ya never know.
@@ODSTSniper68 I hope that's a feature in the next elder scrolls. Just training them and even possibly seeing them grow up slowly when you finish every single mission in the game.
For a long time i would go buy Sofie's flowers every day because i didn't have a house for her to stay in. After working hard to be able to afford a house i finally adopted her.
One time when I tried to find her to adopt her, because she's one of my faves and always needs it so bad, I actually found her sleeping on the freezing cold ground!!! Adopted her immediately and she crashed my game while trying to leave Windhelm XD Still though, poor poor Sofie!
Me: "Alright so, I'm going to have to do a lot of things, time to get going!" Random kid: "Hey, wanna play tag?" Me: "OMG YES!" *Proceeds to play with kids all day*
I’ve done that while I was on the phone with my friend and it was about 30 minutes later and he says so have you found the place yet (some mission i don’t remember) and I was like I’m still playing tag with the kids in whiterun hes like youre kidding and im like yeah i am...im actually playing hide and seek now and the sight and the “oh my god dria why” *me smiling with a halo over my head*
I adopted Lucia on St. Lucia's Day in real life. Just felt that if was the universe telling me to adopt her. I don't know who I'll adopt next, but I'm glad Lucia was my first. ❤️

There's also a boarding school mod where you can sent the childrens to enroll. Like in Harry Potter, where they got an Owl, the school mod got mini Alduin.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if there was a dialogue option for trying to adopt Babette? Man, seeing her reaction to “Do you want me to adopt you?” Would be so funny.
Honestly it would have been an amazing secret feature if after a certain event or something. The children actually grew up and you could have them as followers
Nikki Burger: No he doesn't, Oda-how-da-fuck-you-spell-his-name-ving is saying that from a dragon's point of view, a creature who instinctually takes orders from whoever is the strongest and dominates anyone weaker than they, The Way of the Voice with its strict spiritual rules that require pacifism and detachment from the world in order to achieve peace with ones self, would seem tyrannical to an average Dragon as it is in direct conflict with their very nature. Paarthurnaax himself describes his own struggle with this on numerous occasions but maintains it's a far better life than the way he was previously living.
Game: You, almighty Dragonborn, slayer of Alduin and Miirak, victor of the civil war and countless battles, possessor of wealth beyond measure, and owner of every previously available home in all of Skyrim, may not adopt more than two children. Me: * begins cathartically beating the ever-loving shit out of Nazeem on repeat through reloads *
DeAndre Clark one of the contracts is a nobleman in Whiterun. And do you know anyone else who would have gotten the Black Sacrament called down on them?
I didn’t think sofie had it that bad when i saw her making money (off me) from selling all her flowers and seeing her at the inn. Then what changed my mind completely was the fact i saw her sleeping in a heaping pile of snow. Yeah no, that not gonna fly with me
I always hoped for more of a story line regarding that very thing. I mean why else make it a line said at all if you arent going to add to it. Why would a lonely abused sweet little girl be getting prophetic dreams about Parthurnaax? Who knows, because Bethesda sure doesn't.
Bethesda won’t kill kids but will force you to watch kids suffer inhumane living conditions Edit: I come back after 8 months and HOLY CRAP THE LIKES!!!
Sofie is my go-to adoptee, I can't stomach the thought of her living and sleeping on the freezing streets of WIndhelm, trying to sell flowers in an enviornment where they hardly even grow :( Only in my recent playthrough did I not adopt her, I ended up impulsively adopting Blaise instead bc the farm was attacked by a huge ass dragon right when he was just sleeping on the ground by the stabes! Had to get him outta there! lol
I wanted to adopt her but i cant stand child abuse so I adopted sissle and before that I already had alesan because I didn’t want him to keep having nightmares with the rest of the town
If you kill the twins' father they're both sent to the Honorhall orphanage so I think that is a better outcome for them even without adoption. You can also leave Constance alive, lol, she's nice to the kids.
Yup, and constance (after you start the DB questline,, it's particular lol) sends you a letter eventually and you can then adopt any of the kids at the orphanage.
Yep, it's not really necessary. Constance will initially freak out, but in reality nobody gives two shits that Grelod is dead (it's impossible to get a bounty from killing the old crone; you can waltz right up to her, outright tell her her time's up and suplex her so hard her brain goes into her knees in front of them all, and nobody will care).
I've always liked to imagine that once my character passed away, he leaves all his equipment behind for the 2 children he (I) adopted, with them becoming two Great adventurers, with the two Dadric Dagers I've forged for them (what can I say, I'm a cool dad, I even enchanted and named them... The daggers I mean)
kids when they see the heritage: so basically father was member of the dark brotherhood, guild of thieves, companion, he meet all the daedras, killed all the dragonpriest and took their mask, acumulate much of unique stick, killed a gard of every city just for his collection of armor set and he also have letters from every importants personalitys of the entire tamriel... Yes.
I gave them a wooden sword but used a +400% smithing bonus when upgrading it so it's stats are like 269 ... I like to imagine falkreath home getting attacked and Lucia and Sofie kicking the shit out of the bandits with the world's strongest wooden swords while rayya sits there laughing at the bandits 😅
There's a custom house called Dragons Keep that's also a boarding school. I think there's enough room for every vanilla child, not including your actual adopted kids
Hearthfire only allows 2 kids to be adopted. Using adoption mods allows you to adopt more, and to adopt more you also need more than the two beds provided by Hearthfire DLC in the homes. Otherwise even the Hearthfire Adoptions mod that I mentioned won't work.
I adopted Lucia as I was rampaging through Whiterun and murdering guards, stealing food, etc etc...and she literally saw said "You're awesome!!" So I adopted her right away.
I had to adopt Lucia as soon as I got Breezehome, and then quickly adopted Sofi after I moved into Vlindrell hall. Next thing I know, I come home from a wild adventure of handing daedra and dragons their own asses and am greeted with my daughters calling each other “Horker Brain”...All I wanted to do was relax lmao
@@Linguineo i got home to solitude one day to give my kids presents in time for the weekly burning of king olaf festival. walked into my home and heard samuel call sofie 'elf ears'. my character being a dark elf (and in general not tolerating bullying), i grounded samuel for the day with no gifts and gave sofie her new set of clothes, a dagger, and both her and her brother's share of sweetrolls.
“Maybe he will grow up to be an adventurer, just like you.” It would be interesting if in the next game the main character is an orphan raised by the dragonborn.
Random Villain - "Who the hell are you?!" Mysterious Figure- "I am the whirlwind. The coming of Dawn! Redeemer and Destroyer. I am Lucia: High Queen of Skyrim. Slayer of Dragons. Daughter of the Last Dragonborn, and your executioner!"
I get the Black Star before I do any assassinations (and bonus black soul gems for when I have more named targets) and other deliberate murders; and I craft and enchant different things and name the item after the soul used to power the enchantment. Grelod the Kind is always turned into an Iron Dagger that causes fear. Lemkil is a pair of iron gauntlets with a pugilism upgrade. The orc bard of Morthal becomes a necklace for speechcraft.
@@jishnugupta8963 Nazeer would go well in a scimitar with a fiery soul bind enchantment, or an Alikir Hood with an archery enchantment. As an assassin, let him feed a weapon or a tool to aid in assassination.
I usually adopt Alesan and Sofie. They all have tough stories, but at least Sissel, Blaise, and Lucia won’t die of hypothermia, exhaustion, or Calixto murder.
The child who should be #1 adoptee but is for some reason unadoptable: Aventus Arentino, the boy who triggers the Dark Brotherhood questline. The boy is all alone in this giant, empty, house that the rest of the city thinks is cursed, trying to summon the Dark Brotherhood. After you do his quest, he never returns to Honorhall, he stays in that house full of personal ghosts - probably to scared to make the trek back to Riften. Bethesda did us dirty by not being able to adopt him
Just plain typical adoption, though it would be cool if you could also make him into a trainee for something? No killing just yet, not at that age, just skills that would be useful for anyone, probably some Thief skills too, and work up to killing when he's ready.
@@corwyn-corduroy I disagree. He has a whole house that is not really cursed n a fortune. He's from a rich family respected in Windhelm. he also says at the end of the questline that he will return to honorhall. though they never scripted that. All the kids in this list need adoption more than him. What we should be able to do for him however is getting him a custodian to help him restore the house, cook and clean and make sure he's not alone. maybe the jarl could be paid to give this job to one of his veterans wife's. alternatively it should be possible to accompany him back to honorhall, make a donation there on behalf of the kids and talk to Jarl ulfric to make sure his inheritance will be looked after for him til he's grown up to claim it.
@@JH-zs3bs How do you know his family is rich and respected? He only had his mom before she died, though? And he gives us the only inheritance he has 🤔 Anyway, when I first entered the house, I was hiding next to the door where he was. I was shocked at first to see the dead body but he was so desperate and just wanted to save everyone... So I found a mod to adopt him and he was the first I took in. I regret not seeing the mod that allows you to adopt up to 6 kids, it is not advised to install it during a game... I would have adopted him + the 5 hardworking/abused/starved/freezing to death kids 😭
I adopted the boy samuel, one of the kids from the orphanage, and one day when I got back from a long day questing, he tells me something followed him home. One would expect a dog or something but no...my kid brought home a baby mudcrab...I still haven't gotten over that. And yes I let him keep it cause honestly who else has a mudcrab as a pet?
Over time in different play throughs I have had 3 foxes, a rabbit, and I think a chicken or goat. Tiny mudcrab is on my to experience list now, thank you!
I had Samuel and Kayd once, and one of them (don’t remember who) brought home a skeever. I had my weapon drawn ready for this skeever to attack me but nope it was just their pet now. Another time I had Lucia. She got me a mini white fox and by the nine it was so cute.
I still remember the young girl selling flowers, I always bought them whenever I saw her. Then one day during a Thieves Guild quest, Sofia was there sleeping in the open in the cold all alone. She became my daughter in less than 10 seconds.
Alright, killing Constance is the most heartless thing anyone could do in skyrim! The kids actually love her. I didn't adopt anyone from there cause i know that after killing Grelod, constance will give them a mother's love And oviously the kids can't fend for themselves even with the house, which without an adult they certainly won't be allowed to keep.
Me going into the orphanage: “Gee, I’m not so sure about this. The kids might be upset if I kill her in front of them-“ Grelod: “Anyone who misses a spot gets three extra beatings and no meal for the day!” Me: *equips fireball* Kids: “Yayyyy dark brotherhood, you saved us!” Me who proceeded to destroy the dark brotherhood: 😅
@Brandon Quist Exaclty. And all those assasins sent after me? All five of them? Yeah, orders *signed by you Astrid*. So sorry, can't hear you over the multiple attempts at my life, *Astrid*.
Yeah I checked with them first as well just in case I couldn't trust this random child summoning the devil over his mothers corpse. Killing Constance is messed up. The kids like her. I murdered Grelod in the dead of night
I chose Sofie and Sissel. I feel for all the children (even britte to an extent) but all other children have a relatively fair future and chance. Lucia may be a beggar in white run, but white run is a very safe and relatively prosperous city where she may find work when she’s older. All the orphanage kids I feel have a great future when the place is taken over by Constance. The only other one I worry about is Anesan but I think despite his tough life, he has a good home with the miners in Dawnstar. Sissel deserves more than an abusive home and you could argue maybe she’d find a future with the town mage, but I still think she’s better off being adopted. Even if you take down the Windhelm butcher, the ground is still cold and windhelm is a harsh place for a child like sofie to the point the looked down upon dark elves take pity on her.
I always adopt sophie. Windhelm is the coldest city in Skyrim & she has to sleep outside. She definitely doesn't have the means to survive the freezing temperatures. & I'm always torn between adopting blaise or Alesan, because they both work so hard for so little. If I could have it my way, I'd adopt all of them.
If you adopt Sophie just make sure you buy all the flowers that she sells otherwise your game might glitch. Like mine did. Where you can’t give Sophie anything after you adopt her cause the flowers are still counted in her inventory.
I just gave her a doll I found. I came back downstairs and thought She was crying, her body hunched over. Turns out she was hugging the doll I gave her. Oh my heart! Yes baby your mama will bring you all the things!!!
@@seraka7386 No matter what quest I'm on or how many missions I need to finish somehow I'm always looking to find gifts for my daughters. They love daggers, dolls and dresses. The greatest gift they gave me are a mud crab and a rabbit for a pet. The fox is my favourite. It was either Lucia or Sophie that gave me the fox. The house seems more live when pets are roaming around.
I like how he looks at it from such a realistic perspecive. It makes it feel real and like you can actually help someone who is in a realistic situation, even though it's just a videogame.
Yeah, I felt bad for not adopting Sofie, I already had Lucia and Hroar, but then one time she, for some reason, had 500+ flower baskets for sale, so I bought them all except one. She is now the richest person in Eastmarch.
Lucia and Blaise have been my children in every playthrough, as soon as I buy Breezehome they move in. They own every color of child's clothing, dozens of every toy and always have half a dozen healthy snacks in their inventory. They each have potions of ultimate healing, cure poison and cure disease. They both have a ridiculously high allowance; they each carry more gold than any shop in Whiterun. They both carry enchanted legendary dragonbone daggers that paralyze and steal health. They each have one pet, Lucia brought home a rabbit and Blaze found a mudcrab. Since every home needs a dog one of the Dawnstar huskies lives with us.
Lol. Funny thing is... if you sat i his seat your body is slouched like his. Nothing is more satisfying than sitting on a jarl seat. Then fast forward to morning. Then talk to the Jarls while they stand and you're in their seat.
I didn’t even know this kids back stories now I feel horrible because I adopted two kids from the orphanage now I gotta go back to the game and adopt the ones that sleep in the freezing cold. 😢
Def still playing. Lol. My bf said he didn't know what he started by buying me Skyrim when we first started dating. But hey, he doesn't have to buy me lots of other games. 😂
At the start of the game when I reached Windhelm, Sofie came to me if I want to buy her flower and learnt her sad backstory and shit. That makes me prioritize to buy a house to adopt her immediately
One time, I tried killing a few innocent npcs to upgrade my Ebony Blade and decided to kill Braith's parents unaware that Braith would end up at Honorhall Orphanage. When I went to the orphanage to adopt a child, I found her there. I adopted Braith and because of that, she became a surprisingly respectful child. I am proud to be Braith's legal guardian.
I know same! I ended up doing a lot of quests and clearing tombs, so then I ended up with a TON of money. I bought Lakeview Manor, built the whole thing in a day, and then immediately went to Whiterun and adopted Lucia. Now I've been having the crisis of who else I want to adopt because I love them all
@@ellerynelson8918 I adopted Sofie. I have the multiple adoptions mod but I want to try out the other houses in the vanilla game, and you can't really move your kids there if you have too many. Also, I can't figure out how to move them into the Sagitar stables mod.
When I first met Lucia, I adopted her as soon as I had the resources. After that, however, I decided to be careful about who I adopted next, since I found out you could only adopt 2 kids. I headed over to Windhelm and while hunting for the butcher, found Sofie curled up in the corner, shivering in the cold winter wind... I did not second guess.
I usually adopt the boy from Solitude whose parents were imperial soldiers and the girl whose parents were stormcloak rebels and have them call each other brother and sister because I find it cute to bring Skyrim’s children from both sides of the spectrum together... Plus I love the irony
This whole was is bullshit tbh. I play as a Dark elf. So either I choose to side with the puppets of my degenerate cousins or side with racist assholes that would want me kicked out cuz I'm not a Nord, even if my home region was destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Fun.
@@nightfuryyassamaru1683 I killed the Emperor first and then joined the Legion also I only used elf weapons to kill the targets so I have a pasty to take the blame for the Emperor's death.
I dont believe khajit and argonians give birth in the conventional sense there are a number of caveats and consequences that may arise if handled improperly. Also most members of the beast races are outcasts and vagabonds lives not well set for children.
Well they may not have had the time to make the models for the other races of children and i think if you change a child’s race to something *using console commands of course* the model like bugs out well may be fake news but i’m pretty sure i read that on the wiki
Just in case anyone is unaware, there is a mod out there called Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions that allows you to adopt up to six kids. Just make sure you have a compatible house or else you won't be able to adopt more than two. Edit: Alternatively if it is not in your character's intention to adopt, there is another mod out there where you can send ANY child (orphaned or not) to Dragons Keep, an academy very like Hogwarts where they can learn to defend themselves! My "always adopt" are in this order: 1. Sofie (Always first) 2. Lucia 3. Sissel 4. Blaise 5. Alesan (I only choose Alesan last because yes, they work him to the bone but he has a warm place to sleep at night.) 6. Britte (only if I'm feeling generous. I did read online that once they are adopted, they treat each other as if they were strangers beforehand. I was of the mind to ignore her in the orphanage, but I went to go speak to her and she looked up at me and no sh!t, she said "..mama.." My heart broke.)
