"Shadowheart" is
hopefully probably a last name or someone else's last name, and players won't learn the first name until later.
Maybe after she gets her memories back.
I got the impression that Shadowheart is her designate nickname for the mission because her memory wipe included any relevent information like her real name.
I'm thinking that as well.
Surely if you are on a
secret mission for the Church of Shar, you wouldn't present yourself to every stranger you meet by your ominous codename. That's my problem with her. She's supposed to divert attention away from herself and her secret mission but she's doing the exact opposite. The whole "my name is Shadowheart and I have dark secrets I can't tell you" act is really rubbing me the wrong way.
Think of the dramatic reveal they could have created later down the line after she had masterfully been fooling everyone. It would have been
but the writers just blew it completely. Although at this point I'm pretty sure the big reveal is that she's actually
a brainwashed Selunite and the player gets to choose between Shar and Selune,
but that doesn't really salvage the poor presentation in the beginning. And it's probably lame like this because she's an origin character. The origin system takes the edge off these characters without giving anything in return for those who want to create their own character in a D&D game.
