Shadowheart/Approval

Shadowheart likes finding pragmatic and efficient solutions to problems.
She appreciates discretion and respecting one's privacy. Shadowheart may respond well to an act of heroism or helping the weak, but again, counts its usefulness. However, she also has occasional cruel tendencies and may look favourably on torture and manipulation others to achieve the needed results. Lastly, she approves of open-mindedness towards her service of the goddess Shar.
Shadowheart dislikes those who speak poorly of her worship. She disapproves pressing her for answers or details, unless she wishes to reveal some of them herself. She does not like needless cruelty or violence and can respond unfavorably to taking straightforward decisions or being too open with untrustworthy or unknown individuals. Finally, she disapproves those who doubt in decisions or opinions taken previously.
Unlike other Companions, Shadowheart has a secondary approval system, influencing the choices in Find the Nightsong and Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic. For more information, see Nightsong Points. 
The actions and choices listed on this page will raise or lower Shadowheart's Approval. 
For more information about the approval system, see Approval.
