Safana

Safana is a chaotic neutral human thief and a potential companion in and .
==Baldur's Gate & Tales of the Sword Coast==
=== Recruitment ===
Safana is available from Chapter One. She's found in the central wilderness of the Lighthouse area (3750.2390). She will ask the party to help her find some treasure and will join them if they agree, immediately starting the Safana's Treasure Hunt quest (see below).
The party must have at least one male party member to receive Safana's request for assistance.
=== Quests ===
* Safana's Treasure Hunt (10 day time limit before she leaves)
=== Relationships ===
* She finds Ajantis attractive and will flirt with him if the two are in the same party. Ajantis seems to be a bit conflicted about how he feels about Safana, as he'll swing between being flattered by her advances and being offended by her shameless and immoral conduct. Safana's advances toward Ajantis are far more straightforward than her advances toward Kivan and Xan. She outright tells Ajantis she thinks he's sexy instead of relying on double entendres.
* She's got a very interesting relationship with Coran. The elf is obviously attracted to her and will flirt shamelessly with her, but will often tease or insult her in the same breath. She will always rebuke his advances, assure him she finds him most unattractive, and unleash some pretty scathing barbs of her own at him. However, she is fond of him, and is quite upset if he dies, taking back all the bad things she's ever said about him.
* Safana is rather condescending toward Edwin.
* Eldoth finds Safana both attractive and intriguing and will invite her to share a bottle of wine with him. She doesn't turn him down.
* Garrick responds poorly to Safana.
* Safana finds Kivan attractive and will flirt with him.
* Safana will at one point suggestively ask Minsc to give her a foot massage. Minsc will inform her that she has not offended him, but she just does not understand the bond he has with Boo. After many of the same exchanges have taken place, an exasperated Minsc will finally respond with a threat, although he doesn’t seem to carry through.
* Tiax is rude to Safana, but she really doesn't seem to care.
* Safana finds Xan attractive and will flirt with him, but he ignores her completely.
=== Gameplay ===
Along with Ajantis, Safana has the highest charisma (17) among all companions in the game, making her an excellent leader for neutral parties to gain store discounts and favorable reaction adjustments.
Safana has a special ability called "Charm Person" which functions similarly to the wizard spell Charm Person, only that it is classified as an innate ability. It only has touch range, although it gives only a +2 bonus to the target's save vs. spell to avoid the effect, and it lasts 100 seconds instead of 30. In this ability is renamed to "Safana's Kiss", and is castable when silenced.
Safana's intelligence score allows her to dual-class to a Mage if she uses the Tome of Clear Thought. In and she can dual-class to Thief/Enchanter, Thief/Illusionist and Thief/Transmuter as well. A dual-class by definition must have its new class exceed the level of its old class by one level in order to regain the benefits of the old class. Safana may become a level 7 Thief at 40,000 XP, which will still allow her to reach a level 8 Mage at 90,000 XP (130,000 XP total). This allows a significant investment in 2-3 Thief skills, primarily lock-picking and find traps, as well as a third proficiency point, well placed in bows. If you want maximize Thief level - dual class immediately after Safana reaches level 7 Thief in order not to waste any earned experience. But if you want reach level 9 Mage to gain level 5 spell slots - dual class at level 6 Thief.
She always has the following items when joining the party: a dagger, 10 throwing daggers and studded leather armor, except in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition where her weapons are a Ninja-To and 20 Darts.
* In : companions who are under-leveled at the time of joining will be given a certain amount of experience points (XP) for you to manually level them up to gain more control of their status.

=== Dialogues ===
	Damn you to all Nine Hells, Coran, I swear I'm going to— Oh. Hello.
	You know what I always admired about you, <CHARNAME>? Your keen sense of observation. Well, don't just stand there; come in.
	That vile rake? Why would you even ask that?
	Nice try, <CHARNAME>. I've spent the last month with that two-faced elf, Coran. A flattering tongue will get you nowhere. What do you want, really?
	You wound me, <CHARNAME>. I don't know how I shall ever recover.
	And now I have recovered. Hm. That was QUICK, wasn't it...?
	I could never say no to you, <CHARNAME>. Then again, I can't think of a single thing you could ask that would make me want to...
	Forget that lecherous pig, <CHARNAME>. I'm the woman you need.
	There is nothing there to admire. Women—real women, not the farcical creatures who exist in your fanciful tales of "romance"—like nothing better than being taken at their word. A courteous man bows and walks away from a woman who's not interested.
	Come, <CHARNAME>, let us take our leave of this lovestruck dullard. Or better still, let's bide a time and see him struck by something less abstract in nature. Like a frying pan.
	In the last couple of days, I, ah, dipped my fingers into a few pockets. One held a bag of junk and this notebook. It contains details of the camp defenses, commander names, and bits of conversation.
	Only a spy would make these kind of notes. We have a traitor in our midst.
	"Robbed" is such a loaded term. I prefer to think of it as easing friends' physical burden. As to the question, they were all soldiers. I think.
	Keep making jokes. It's not like a traitor could be undermining this entire effort even as we speak. Oh, wait, it's exactly like that.
	Ha! Attitude at a time like this. I like it.
	There is something I feel you should know. Don't get that look on your face; it's not the end of the world.
	The fact of the matter is, you're a terrible kisser.
	It's nothing you can't work on, but you've left me cold. All that bumbling about, trying pathetically to make love to me... it was embarrassing.
	Ha! Well, I guess I can also tell you the last time we were at camp, I shared a glass of wine with Voghiln after you went to sleep.
	He knew how to compliment a woman, that's for sure. I rewarded him with a kiss... or two... or three. We had to keep it quiet since you were in the tent right next to us.
	You're lower than scum. You should have stayed in Hell where you belonged, you canker-blossom. I hope you rot in jail forever, you worthless scut.
	Well, well, well. Look who comes crawling back.
	You desire something from me? Most do...
== Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn ==
Safana and Coran have been travelling the Sword Coast together and Gorion's Ward finds Coran at the house in Forest of Tethir. She has been kidnapped by wolfweres, and Coran asks the player character to rescue her. However, she has conspired with the wolfweres to kill Gorion's Ward because she wants to claim the bounty. Safana is killed by Lanfear the wolfwere, as she had other plans in mind for Coran.
== Personality ==
Her general demeanor is flirtatious, and sometimes her personality borders on provocative. Safana seems to have an overwhelming confidence in herself as a sexual entity. This is most likely due to her beauty (which many take notice of). If the player character dismisses Safana; he or she claims that the party does not need another thief, even if she is completely gorgeous. This is then followed up by the player character's inner monologue reading: "What am I saying?"
== Trivia ==
* The offical website for the original game, now archived, had the following information about her background and character:Baldur's Gate - Characters Wayback MachineSafana has always used her charms and beauty to persuade men to her way of thinking. This of course makes her an excellent thief, able to pull off amazing heists that most of her male counterparts would find difficult if not impossible. Safana grew up in the city of Calimport in Calimshan. There she grew up surrounded by luxury, her father being a very influential noble. Though she could have had anything, Safana soon found herself too confined by her fathers' protective arm. She ran away in her early teens with the help of the first mate of the pirate ship 'Exzesus'. She remained with the pirate crew for several years being able to play them off against each other so that she would get what she wanted. Eventually she tried to manipulate the captain and found her self in a great deal of trouble. Escaping when the ship was at port in Baldur's Gate she quickly insinuated herself into that city. Safana has become very skilled at the arts of manipulation, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. It is possible for her to befriend another person but it would take a great deal of patience and perseverance on the part of whoever was trying.It did not reveal her alignment, keeping that "confidential".
