Jaheira is by far my favourite NPC in BG2, and in any CRPG.
As far as I'm concerned, she's the most beautiful woman to have ever walked the face of Faerun (Viccy and Ellesime included), and I never tire of playing through her romantic storyline.
She's also mega-powerful once you know all the tricks to using her:
1) protected by Iron Skins, she'll slice and dice everything in sight.
2) She'll unleash Creeping Doom and render the mages helpless.
3) She can knock a whole army of its feet with Earthquake.
4) With the right items and level progression, she'll gain immunity to the elements and to poison.
Her prowess as both a Druid and a Fighter, her beauty, her sensitity (underneath her gruff manner), her conviction, her grit, it all adds up to a package that I find just plain overpowering in the extreme.
