As a loyal servant of the goddess [[Shar]], Shadowheart can be cold and calculating, willing to do whatever is necessary to serve the Dark Lady with devotion. She can be first found on the [[Nautiloid]] during the prologue where she serves as a temporary companion, and properly recruited at the start of Act 1. | As a loyal servant of the goddess [[Shar]], Shadowheart can be cold and calculating, willing to do whatever is necessary to serve the Dark Lady with devotion.

Devout followers of the Moonmaiden, they worshiped her in quiet seclusion away from the city, raising young Jenevelle in the ways of Selûne. In time, she would take part of an ancient Selûnite inititation rite: abandoned in the wilds, she would have to rely on her skills and faith to fend for herself, proving herself as a devout believer once she returned. | ||
Yet [[Shar]], Selûne's dark sister, had other plans for the child, and commanded [[Viconia DeVir]] and a cadre of Sharrans to kidnap the child. They slayed Jenevelle's parents and took young Hallowleaf to a secret cloister of the Dark Lady in Baldur's Gate. | Yet [[Shar]], Selûne's dark sister, had other plans for the child, and commanded [[Viconia DeVir]] and a cadre of Sharrans to kidnap the child.

Jenevelle would be brought to the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]], a Sharran temple in Baldur's Gate set up and ran by Mother Superior Viconia DeVir after her previous endeavours in [[Waterdeep]] had failed. Viconia's mission, given to her directly by Shar, was to mould young Jenevelle into a champion of the Dark Lady, an effort that would ultimately take almost half a century. Jenevelle resisted the indoctrination at first, but the brutal training she would be put through, as well as repeated forced use of the temple's [[Mirror of Loss]], would slowly erase her past and in time forge a new identity: Shadowheart. | Jenevelle would be brought to the [[Cloister of Sombre Embrace]], a Sharran temple in Baldur's Gate set up and ran by Mother Superior Viconia DeVir after her previous endeavours in [[Waterdeep]] had failed.

Any time she would be subjected to mirror training, Rennald would do his best to remind Shadowheart who she was afterwards. Thanks to him, and whatever scattered notes she was able to jot down between mirror trainings,{{ref|[[Hastily Written Note (Night Orchid Cave)]]}} Shadowheart was able to retain some parts of her identity, such as her fondness for flowers and animals. The two became good friends, and one of the few blessings during her time in the cloister. | ||
