Ha ha that sounds pretty sweet! So your beggar was like Medussa. Well I'll just give Hadden some sort of boost to his stats, maybe start him Level 2 instead of 1. I noticed BG is similar to the table-games we used to play, in the sense that this game levels up pretty slowly. 🎲 Which I like. Because back in the day when we all rolled dice, it took a long time to level up one of our PCs, days, weeks or months, not hours. When somebody finally went up, it would cause for celebration. Baldur's feels harder than the table-games though, that's why I want to cheat a little. With the table-games we could choose modules, here are some examples. These were basically adventure books, and they were all leveled. So if most of your party was Level 3, we could choose a module which too easy, just right, or even too hard! To me, Baldur's feels too easy sometimes, but too hard other times (especially when poison or some exotic magic gets involved). I want to at least try to level the playing field for Hadden Nuff.

Renee: This works in BG1 EE as well. At the very end of character creation there will be a button for Create Party.
You can also create a party by going to the Pregenerate Character button, which is right below the New Game button. It takes you through the whole character generation. Then at the end click on Export, and pick a file name for the character. That saves the character for later. Do this for all the self-created NPCs you want.
Then when you want to start a new game, go to the New Game button, create your main character there, and as Acadian said at the end click on Create Party. It will show a list of 6 character slots, with the one you just created at the upper left. Then you can go to the other slots and pick Import, and select the characters you pregenerated before.
This is handy because it gives you plenty of time to pregenerate each custom NPC. Especially since if there is not a portrait you like, you can exit the game and go find/make one. Or if you want to exit the game to check on a rule about skills or something. Then you don't have to start completely over.
Acadian: Now you have me thinking of doing BG2EE with January as a Paladin, and bringing in a couple of friends. Maybe Okami/Ryo as a Fighter/Thief. Or as a Thief dual-classed to Fighter. All I ever use a thief for is traps and lockpicking. Once those are at 100, I don't see much need for more Thief levels. Then maybe Gadget as a Cleric. That is how I ran him in Icewind Dale.
Then maybe I could also run Aerie as a sorcerer. I never thought of running Minsc as a Monk! The last time I made him a Barbarian.

About the fact she is no melee. Psychologically, do you think there's any connection, even a subconscious one, that this has anything to do with your former career as a pilot in the Air Force? I don't know if you ever saw combat, but as a pilot, you would've gotten that perspective where you'd never have to see combat first hand. Everything's very precise, you might only get one chance to fire that missile into its target, but everything's also from a distance. You'd be trained in this way. Which is similar to your elf, who's entire approach toward combat is specifically geared toward not dealing with enemies in close quarters.
It's a stretch, I know, but this is how I think in terms of my own characters, sometimes. I sometimes realize there are certain aspects of them that I've subconsciously inserted or inspired from my own habits/psyche/emotions/whatever. If I roll somebody who is particularly evil for instance, there are times I realize what's really going on when they become torturous, or gross, or whatever. Maybe I'm releasing pent-up anger from the past, or dealing with stress which is going on in my day-to-day.
But I have my limits. I could never roll a Rattler, for instance. Because there's just nothing there in my own head which equates to somebody THAT evil.
Damn, sorry. I need coffee! ☕
