She previously appeared in both ''Baldur's Gate'' and ''Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn'', and now has returned in ''[[Baldur's Gate 3]]''. Jaheira is introduced to the player during [[Act Two]] as an NPC, but if players make the right choices, she can eventually become a [[temporary companion]], and later [[Companions|permanent companion]]. | ||

Charismatic and insightful, she has a sharp tongue and her wit can be deprecating to those for whom it is meant. She tends to make jokes out of serious situations and will approve the player doing so. Despite being a wizened veteran of numerous wars, she maintains a healthy sense of humour 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. | During the events of the game, Jaheira is roughly 150 years old.

Once Jaheira trusts the party, she explains the situation. The leader of [[Moonrise Towers]] is a man named [[Ketheric Thorm]]. He's immensely powerful, and gifted with immortality. The Harpers have come to find a way to stop the cult and kill Thorm once and for all. The Harpers have had little luck, but Jaheira believes that the party can make a difference by infiltrating Moonrise as a True Soul. She tells the party to go upstairs and meet the cleric [[Isobel]] who is the one responsible for keeping Last Light Inn shielded. | Once Jaheira trusts the party, she explains the situation.

After Jaheira starts to trust the party, she refers them upstairs to gain a blessing from Isobel. When [[Marcus]] [[Resolve the Abduction|tries to abduct]] Isobel, the party can help him or try to stop him. If Isobel is taken or killed, everyone in the tavern except for Jaheira and the party is killed and turned into a shadow-cursed zombie.

The player can lie to Jaheira, telling her they tried to stop Marcus. Jaheira can be invited to stay at their camp, but she will not become a companion until [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers]] is complete. | ||
Otherwise, if Isobel was saved Jaheira will continue to operate from Last Light Inn until the party is ready to defeat Thorm once and for all. When [[Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic]] is complete Jaheira and her Harpers will have already started the assault on the Moonrise Towers. She can be invited to join as a temporary companion until they get to the towertop and defeat Ketheric for the first time.
