About this mod
Personalised edits for Shadowheart that include new hair, body textures, teeth and miscellaneous edits. !!! Includes SPOILERS !!!
- Permissions and credits
I have fallen a long way. Clouds are flowering
Blue and mystical over the face of the stars.
Inside the church, the saints will be all blue,
Floating on their delicate feet over cold pews,
Their hands and faces stiff with holiness.
The moon sees nothing of this. She is bald and wild.
And the message of the yew tree is blackness –
blackness and silence.— Sylvia Plath
This is a part of a mini-series that consists of my own personalised edits to companions or related NPCS.
And with that comes in the Moon Daughter Shadowheart!
Made to be used alongside an upcoming Werewolf Shadowheart mod.
Warning: This Mod Includes Spoilers For Shadowheart's Arc

What does this mod do
A big part of this mod was inspired by this fanart by spicyraeman and many thanks to him for giving me permission to create this mod!
1. Melpomene — Hair
Gives Shadowhear's Act III a wild hairstyle with (glowing) flower orchids and sideburns.
There is physics in the lower portion of the hair and it is refit according to similiar shaped hairs.
There is a version with Sharran accessories, both Main versions can co-exist as they change two different hairs.
2. Melpomene — Head
Gives Shadowheart Tiefling teeth that I found the closest to be of canines. Contains all LODs.
3. Melpomene — Body Textures
Body Hair: Gives Shadowheart mild body hair similar to the fanart above.
Freckles: Gives Shadowheart mild freckles all over her body.
Trips' Old Shader Pack / Companions - Old Shaders are a requirement for these textures to show.
4. Melpomene — Hallowleaf
Gives Shadowheart's parents new clothes instead of their torn prisoner attire, changes Emmeline's hairstyle as well.
Thanks to magnetuning the Hallowleaves will appear in their imprisoned clothes during the Chamber of Loss cutscene.
Compatibility
Loose Files:
This mod should be compatible with any mod that does not edit the following:
Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_F_NKD\Resources\HUM_F_NKD_Body_A_CLEA.DDS
Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Models\Humans\HUM_F_NKD\Resources\HUM_F_NKD_Body_Shadowheart_HMVY.DDS
Generated\Public\Shared\Assets\Characters\_Anims\HalfElves\_Female\Resources\HEL_F_NKD_Head_Shadowheart.GR2
.PAK Files:
Hair: The hair mod will not be naturally compatible with other .pak mods that edit Shadowheart's Act I and Act III hairstyles.
However, it is compatible with any mod that modifies Shadowheart's other appearance such as Transgender Shadowheart, More Prominent Scars for Shadowheart, Shadows for Eyes... etc.
Hallowleaf: The mod will not be compitable with any mod that edits Arnell/Emmeline CharacterVisuals nor one that edits the Chamber of Loss timeline files, as far as I'm concerned tho there is no other mod that does this.
Notes
// This is a personalised mod, meaning that any requested modifications will be done at my own pace //
- To install the Loose Files: simply drop the Generated Folder in your \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Baldurs Gate 3\Data
- To install the .PAK files: Download the .rar and import the mod from Mod Manager, and then slide the mod to the active section.
- The hair is prone to clipping, crunchy textures and overall non-smooth behaviour, I personally like it as it is and I will not change it any further.
- Since Shadowheart doesn't have her unique .CLEA file, the body hair will apply to Player/NPCs Fem Humans/Half-Elves.
- The Hallowleaves will only appear in their imprisoned clothes during the cutscene, not in the overworld. Reloading mid cutscene will also revert their clothes to the modded ones. The solution makes things complicated so this is the most optimal approach for the timebeing.
- Do not ask about me to troubleshoot anything concerning Shadowheart's tattoos mod.
Future Plans
- Give Shadowheart a Werewolf form to be in check with this mod's inspiration.
