Born to parents [[Arnell Hallowleaf|Arnell]] and [[Emmeline Hallowleaf]], Jenevelle, as she was named, was raised in a [[Selûne|Selûnite]] household in the forests outside [[Baldur's Gate]]. Devout followers of the Moonmaiden, they worshipped 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 initiation 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.{{ref|name=father|[[Campsite]], line spoken by [[Arnell Hallowleaf]] if saved from Shar and asked about what happened the night of the abduction.<br>''"You were to come of age that night - left alone in the woods, and only using Selûne's guidance to find your way back to us."''}}{{cite text|Selûnite Rite|Unknown}} | Born to parents [[Arnell Hallowleaf|Arnell]] and [[Emmeline Hallowleaf]], Jenevelle, as she was named, was raised in a [[Selûne|Selûnite]] household in the forests outside [[Baldur's Gate]].{{note|Multiple things point to Shadowheart having grown in Moonhaven, the former name for the now ruined [[Blighted Village]], such as her reaction when picking up the [[Old Schoolbook]] or her scene at the Selûnite statue behind the mill. However, it's difficult to confirm as different sources in-game indicate that the village was destroyed over a hundred years ago by Ketheric Thorm's dark justiciar army, and Shadowheart is estimated to be roughly fifty years old. Conflicting timelines regarding the village and its destruction don't line up, thus, it's possible that the intent during development was that she and her family had indeed lived in Moonhaven, but that the inconsistencies were never properly fixed for release.}} Devout followers of the Moonmaiden, they worshipped her in quiet seclusion away from the city, raising young Jenevelle in the ways of Selûne.
