there's definitely some creator pet vibes going on with SH, but I'm not convinced it's not just the development process. They've spent more time on her, but will be giving others more attention later on. I certainly hope so, because right now she feels like the main character. Try to ignore her and she actually tracks you down at your camp? that's ..odd to say the least for a possible companion character.
She's got top billing in all the artwork, and her artifact plays a super central role in the story so far. The underdark and justiciers is related. I think it's almost certain she and her mission are a major plot element
