Something about Shadowheart

I’m not sure how many people that play Bg3 understand the love that was put into the characters in the game, but Shadowheart is one of my absolute favorite game characters of all time for this reason.

She was born into a Selûnite family that was ardent in their faith and raised her as Jenevelle, teaching her to walk in the path of the Moonmaiden. However, when Jenevelle attempted the ritual where she was supposed to find her way back home from the depths of the woods, Shar’s acolytes found her and took her back to their cloister in Baldur’s Gate (the House of Grief).

Jenevelle was not easily indoctrinated with Shar’s teachings, as she proved very difficult to persuade. Viconia forced her to use the Mirror of Loss to surrender her memories to Shar more than any of the other acolytes, and it took more than 35 years for Shar to completely erase her existence as Jenevelle. Once almost all of her memories were taken from her, she was given the name Shadowheart and underwent rigorous training to eventually replace Viconia as Shar’s Mother Superior.

Once she learned new abilities or powers in her initiate training, she was instructed to practice them on her parents, who were imprisoned by Shar as punishment for worship of her sister. Shadowheart had no idea who they were because she had her memories erased and believed her parents to be dead. Later, if the player persuades Shadowheart to save her parents from Shar instead of killing them, Shadowheart expresses grief because she is not sure she can look her parents in the eyes because of what she’d been forced to do to them in her initiate training.

When Shadowheart was fully inducted into Shar’s forces as a cleric, Viconia sent her and a few other Sharran initiates on what was perceived as a suicide mission to retrieve the artifact, and she was the only one who survived.

She only ever begun to doubt Shar’s validity as her goddess after the Nightsong spoke of a lost child among wolves, and if that had not happened she would have gone on performing deeds of unspeakable darkness in Shar’s name (as seen if you allow her to kill Dame Aylin).

If she pursues the path of redemption and seeks to rid herself of Shar’s influence forever, Shar forces her to kill her own parents to set them free from imprisonment. Shadowheart loses her only family shortly after reuniting with them, and she suffers true loss after it. Her redemption causes her to lose everything she thought she knew about herself, and it’s one of the most well-written character arches ever.

I didn’t think much of Shadowheart during my first playthrough, but after I played her origin I started to see why so many people connected with her character. Her story is part of what makes Bg3 so immersive and enjoyable, and I never get tired of her content as a character.

‗❍ Giving you a 𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒟𝑒𝑒𝓅𝓈𝓅𝒶𝒸𝑒 character based on your favorite 𝕊𝕒𝕛𝕒 𝔹𝕠𝕪 ❍‗

* ˚ ✦ If your favorite is 𝕁𝕚𝕟𝕦 𝕊𝕒𝕛𝕒...

You’ll most likely be a fan of 𝘚𝘺𝘭𝘶𝘴.

Jinu and Sylus both have incredibly traumatic backstories, especially if you focus on the dragon myth. Jinu was so poor that he became desperate and sold his soul and his family away to Gwi-Ma just so he could experience a life without worrying that he didn’t have enough. Sylus grew up being ostracized and unwanted by both dragons and humans because he wasn’t enough of either race to be fully a part of either world. He cut off his scales and horns to fit in, but eventually they would regrow and he was left alone again.

Jinu and Sylus are both fixated on living lavish lifestyles. Jinu sold his own soul away just to experience having money, and Sylus spent his entire life hoarding wealth so that he could enjoy having comforts that he couldn’t have as a child.

Jinu and Sylus are both portrayed as somewhat mysterious characters, often keeping details to themselves and very rarely showing genuine emotion. While Jinu does this in a manipulative sense to get Rumi to trust him, Sylus is more on his guard because vulnerability could end his entire career on top of Onychinus.

Jinu and Sylus both end up being vulnerable with their respective love interests, despite the danger it poses to both of them. Jinu sacrificed his life for Rumi after telling her the truth about what he did and why he did it. Sylus is only ever his true self around MC because she’s the only person he can trust to accept him as he really is.

- Like Guy, Sylus has major tsundere energy and is incredibly cold towards people who he sees as not worth his time. - They both have those intense crimson eyes and spiked hair, as well as the main color palette being hues of black, red, and gold. - Sylus gives off the prince vibe because he’s the head of an organization called Onychinus. He likes to call shots and doesn’t take no for an answer. - Guy and Sylus are both incredibly rich, having expensive tastes and refusing to settle for anything less. - Both men have a hidden soft side for the MC. They’re commanding with everyone else, but will bend over backwards to make sure she is happy and has everything she could ever want. - Like Guy, Sylus’ love language is buying expensive gifts for the MC or letting her run around with his credit card. - Sylus definitely knows how to handle himself in a fight and has incredible knowledge of how to use his Evol to get what he wants. It’s similar to Guy’s prowess of his family’s Ancient Magic. - Both Guy and Sylus have sad backstories concerning their families.

- Sylus and Guy both give off an aura of intimidation and power. They rely on other people being afraid of them to create an invulnerable reputation.

- Like in Guy’s main story path, Sylus takes quite a long time to warm up to the MC. He’s not used to being vulnerable and it takes him a while to realize that vulnerability isn’t a weakness.
