A devout follower of the Lady of Loss, Shadowheart is the sole survivor of a holy mission undertaken on the Mistress of the Night's behest. She alone is left to deliver a relic of immense power to her coven in Baldur's Gate while threatened by a strange new magic that is burgeoning from within. Her faith plays an important part in her story. Lithe of frame, well dressed and with meticulously managed features, Shadowheart is not unattractive and may, if mentioning this to her (e.g., if romanced), acknowledge this matter-of-factly. She has straight, coal-black hair and a long, flowing ponytail fastened in segments by elaborately crafted silver loops. Her fringe hair is kept short and straight, revealing her brows beneath and a scar running from her nose to her right cheek. Hair adorns her face on the sides, reaching past her chin, her pointed ears barely peeking through them, and her eyes, light-green with speckles of yellow, are contoured by dark make-up. Though rarely seen, she has a black circular mark on her right hand, a wound given by Shar, causing Shadowheart pain whenever she engages in behavior the Lady of Sorrows disapproves of. Though appearing youthful due to her elven heritage, she is over 40 years old.
Shadowheart complements her Sharran attire with a silver circlet worn above her fringe. It is simple, yet elegant, displaying her goddess' holy symbol, a black disc, as well as an ornate argent hairpiece at the base of her ponytail, reminiscent of the decorations found in Sharran temples. Zealously devoted, independent and headstrong, Shadowheart prefers pragmatic solutions to problems, decisive action in the face of uncertainty and remaining uninvolved in the affairs of others. While she initially seems guarded and reserved – hesitant to reveal information about herself – she is in fact amnesiac, with little memory of her own past. Fiercely devoted to Shar, she does not tolerate slights against her goddess, often reacting defensively. Trained in Sharran ways, she is also not above forceful, ruthless actions, duplicity or even killing in order to achieve her goals. Has a rivalry with lae'zel. While Shadowheart is afraid of wolves, she loves animals and will always react favourably to positive interactions with them and negatively to cruelty towards them
Still, given her youngest years of upbringing, Shadowheart displays traits that are often at odds with her Sharran training. She has a fondness for flowers and animals, disapproves of indiscriminate violence, prefers relatively peaceful resolutions to conflicts when possible and often sympathizes with the plights of party members. She can be as sarcastic as Astarion and does not shy away from dark humour. She is introspective and often harbours doubts as can be seen by romancing her, and when guided away from Shar, she is much more open and honest with her feelings. Shadowheart is one of the companions from Baulders Gate 3 and is at the camp with the other companions, gale, astarion, lae'zel, karlach, wyll, halsin.
