=== Background ===
=== Background ===
A devout follower of Shar, Shadowheart is the sole survivor of a holy mission undertaken on the Mistress of the Night's behest. She alone must 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 throughout the game, and she can be steered to or away from it.

=== Description ===
=== Description ===
With raven black hair and attire, Shadowheart makes as strong of an impression as her personality. Zealously devoted, independent and headstrong, she prefers pragmatic solutions to issues, decisive action and staying uninvolved in the problems 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. Over time, however, she will show more depth, with a sarcastic wit to match Astarion, a fondness for animals and flowers, and an aversion to indiscriminate violence, despite her Sharran background.

=== Starting class ===
Shadowheart's starting class is [[Cleric]]. Similar to [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]] and [[Warlock|Warlocks]], clerics may choose their subclass starting at level 1, as such, by the time she is recruited, she'll already have the [[Trickery Domain]] subclass selected.
Trickery domain clerics excel in a supporting role, with many tools in their kit aimed at subterfuge such as [[Disguise Self]] and [[Blessing of the Trickster]]. This makes Shadowheart a valuable companion if stealth is the favored tactic as well as make her an ideal complement to [[Astarion]]. That said, this particular domain isn't exactly well-suited for direct combat which could prove somewhat difficult at the beginning of the game where having more combat options is important.
