Jaheira is a headstrong and opinionated woman. Charismatic and insightful, she has a sharp tongue and her wit can be depreciating to those for whom it is meant. She tends to make jokes out of serious situations and will approve the player to do so as well. | Jaheira is a headstrong and opinionated woman. Charismatic and insightful, she has a sharp tongue and her wit can be depreciating to those for whom it is meant. She tends to make jokes out of serious situations and will approve the player to do so as well. Despite being such a wizened veteran of numerous wars, she maintains a healthy sense of humor and does not mind when she is the butt of a good joke. | ||
During the events of the game, Jaheira is roughly 150 years old. Her experiences during her long life means she is rarely surprised and takes unexpected events calmly and unvexed. Her initial testing of the main party with truth-telling drugs, as well as her inquisitive reaction to [[The Dark Urge]] revealing their nature as a bhaalspawn, show that she is very cautious about to whom she extends her trust. But once the party proves themselves, Jaheira is a loyal and stalwart ally who sees them as equals, never afraid to speak her mind and not sugarcoating the truth. | |||
As one of the eldest and strongest of the Baldur's Gate [[Harpers]], she commands the respect of most of the organization. Meeting Harpers with Jaheira in the party shows that they almost always defer to her strength and experience. Her military background shows in her professionalism and cold analysis when dealing with most situations. One of the few exceptions to this is her old friend [[Minsc]], whom Jaheira initially believed to be dead due to a combination of Minsc's recklessness and her own desire to put the safety of all Baldur's Gate above individual lives. She becomes enraged when it is revealed he was alive and being manipulated by Orin's [[Doppelganger|Doppelgangers]] using her face. Once they reunite, their relationship is initially strained due to Jaheira not believing Minsc could be so easily manipulated, but they do eventually reaffirm their friendship. | |||
