If I wanted to do that I'd choose Viconia instead, definitely no Jaheira, those huge eyes freak me out a bit.

first, she can NOT replace either anomen or edwin simply because she is multiclassed. when ano or ed would be at 16th level and scaring liches and casting maze, she'd barely be scratching 12th level and still barely frightening wights.
i would never waste a great weapon like the mace of disruption on someone with no STR bonus, no specialization, and (again) really slow THAC0 advancement. if you counter by saying give her a strength belt, ill just sigh in resignation and give you a flower, hippy

all the other stuff is cosmetic and unimportant, and youre right, she doesnt look like a 10 year old. she looks at least 12, maybe even 13 with the right robe.
