This thread's gotten way off topic. Let's get back to the subject of the new NPC. What do people think about her purple hair? Is that significant? IS SHE AN ALIEN?

Tiefling with an illegal/unique class build? I would go nuts for a lawful evil Tiefling shadowdancer with crap stats, but boosted "support" thief skills and some unique spells-per-day.
I would assume a thief wouldn't dye their hair a loud, unique color if they wanted to remain stealthy. If Hexxat's hair really is purple (tough to tell from that small picture), my guess is that it's natural.

Of course, I might be way over-thinking that.
In that case, wouldn't she dye it black to make it more stealthy?

If you spell the new thief's name backwards, you get Taxxeh.
Sounds kind of like "taxer"...
So she'll be working for the government with all her points invested in "pick pockets"
Her name actually kind of sounds like "Asshat". Maybe she's a major douchebag.
Maybe she's a really crappy thief?
But seriously, I may be pulling this out of my ass, but I thought I read somewhere that a Tiefling's demonic heritage is difficult to mask through mundane means like dyes. If her hair is a product of her lineage, it may be impossible to hide. My DnD knowledge is quite lacking outside the scope of the computer games, though.

Unless they have, I don't know, the ability to hide even in plain sight? (the ShadowDancer kit has been, after all, introduced by the EE... just like Dorn's Blackguard and Rasaad's SSM)

It's entirely possible. I just think that, while we're all throwing darts, it would make more sense for a tiefling thief to compensate for her hair color than for a human thief to voluntarily choose it.
Has anyone been able to confirm her alignment? Neutral or evil?
No, her alignment hasn't been confirmed one way or the other yet. It has been hinted that she will be evil in order to address the lack of an evil-aligned thief, as opposed to the Neutral Jan and Good Imoen and Nalia, but nothing has been officially stated yet.
Actually nothing has been officially stated other than her existence and the fact she is a female thief. Her name was culled from screenshots and seems to be accurate, since the devs have been using it here and there since.

She's Neera's cousin.
Whoops, did I say that out loud?
That would be pretty awesome. Except then you'd kind of have to take Neera for the full experience and no thank you.
You know, the game doesn't have any "corruptable" NPCs yet, unlike "redeemable" party members. Hexxat as a neutral Tiefling thief that an evil protagonist can convince to, I dunno, embrace her infernal heritage or something would be a cool change of pace as opposed to starting her as evil.
I have been trying to figure out my baldurs gate 2 party in light of the new npcs. I am running out of room. I am hoping she is a neutral thief because I'm playing a good party.

I've got it all figured out already.
Good: PC Dragon Disciple (melee build, lots of defensive spells, close-range attacks, lots of fire) Rasaad, as a Sun Soul Monk Neera Keldorn Yoshi -> Imoen Anomen
Evil: PC: Either a Fighter/Thief (my latest Evil playthrough of BGEE) or a Cleric/Mage, depending on Hexxat info Dorn Hexxat Viconia Kagain Haer'Dalis

I'm similar to your good party but I am wanting to have the special surprise character in tob. I'm still debating which class to play to balance. If the thief is neutral I guess I would play as a cleric or druid to balance things out.

Is there such things as aliens in FR? I think it would be cool to introduce that.
See OverBeamHaul? You can't fool us! Ah!

Possibly some kind of Tiefling or a native of some kind of odd plane where purple is a natural hair colour. Her name is 'Hexxat', after all.

Does he/she likes donuts?
