Can faralda on Skyrim be a follower?

In Skyrim, Faralda is not a follower in the traditional sense. She is a member of the College of Winterhold and serves as the gatekeeper, testing aspiring mages before they can enter the College. While she can accompany you briefly during certain quests, she cannot be recruited as a permanent follower to assist you in combat or exploration. Players looking for a follower may need to seek out other characters in the game who offer such services.
