Shandra Jerro

Shandra Jerro (female neutral good human fighter) is a joinable NPC in Neverwinter Nights 2.

"The last living remnant of the Jerro bloodline, Shandra is an ordinary, if somewhat gruff, farmer who makes her living near Highcliff."

Gameplay
Her stats are rather decent (Str 13, Dex 16, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 13, Cha 12). One can level her Dex to 17 and get her Two-Weapon Fighting and Improved Two-Weapon Fighting to make her an acceptable fighter. She is also a thankful target for all these odd-numbered Strength items.

Spoilers
She will be an automatic, non-removeable group member for a while. However, in the end you'll lose her again.

In the beginning, it is important to gain influence her, that she helps you in the case with Ember.
 * Demand her back from Zeeaire when your rescue her in the Githyanki base.
 * Protect her afterwards against the rather dirty advances from Bishop.
 * Say that you would prefer to protect Alaine (the witness from Ember) (that gives however also -1 influence on Sand).
 * Be friendly towards her during the vigil to become squire, don't give her the dirty initial offer there.
 * There is a painter in the blacklake district that will paint her for 300 gold and +4 influence on Shandra (and -1 influence on Neeshka if she is also in your current party).
