I felt bad about using Janessa for my Boethian sacrifice. And I didn't even realise you were supposed to command her to touch the shrine, I thought I was supposed to have her wait in the circle and beat her to death. Worse, I reloaded and did this several times without Boethia showing up, and thought my game wasn't working properly.
So, with my other game, I recruited Janessa into the Blades. Not that killing off that friendly dragon made me feel any better...
