Mjoll the Lioness. Face paint, likes the sword and board, and really loves roaming around Skyrim - what's not to like? Paired her with my balls-to-the-wall 2-Hander Nord. Plus, once she had a Daedric weapon with double damage enchants, she was about 20% as efficient as my PC at killing things.
If only Bethesda had spent any serious amount of time AT ALL on the interactions, I think I would've enjoyed it more. Wasn't terribly keen on the, "You're wearing an Amulet of Mara? Let's get married! Wait, who are you?" Yeah, I did retrieve her sword, but I purposefully held off on the actual marriage until it felt like there'd been some time spent together.
