I
reccomend you read this 'chapter', especially if the only tieflings you've
previously encountered are Haer'dalis and Valen (from Neverwinter Nights:
Hordes of the Underdark)

Origins of this story
There's been talk in the BGII modding community about an Annah conversion. And
while there's been a lot of talk about it, its never really been done, which is
a real shame, because Annah is a great girl from what I've seen. Note the seen-
I only played PS: T once, and that was really just watching a friend. But I
loved what I saw of the girl! The idea behind this fic is straightforward
enough, as was the mod's- Annah winds up on the prime material plane, and into
the PC's [Player Character's] party. I.e., where BGII is happening. Almost
certainly a romance between the pc [Loké] and Annah. I may do a lemon.
For obvious reasons I'm not going to bother describing a lot of the places and
characters. For those of you who haven't seen Annah go to planetbaldursgate and
check the encounters section of the PS:T section of the site. I would give you
a direct link but it doesn't seem to like them. Sorry. :/
I may do a little light description of her anyway, but that page removes
most/all of the work so go check it out. I seriously reccomend you do if
you've never heard or seen Annah before.

For some background info on her race:
'What is a tiefling? The Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix I
says:
"Tiefling are the
offspring of the planes, as varied as the places
they call home. Superficially
human, their appearance always betrays
them: some sport small horns,
others have pointed ears, scales, a
cloven hoof, or just a wicked
gleam in their eye that never leaves."
Popular opinion on the Planescape Mailing List states that most tieflings are
descended from the fiends, who represent powerful forces of evil in the
Planescape universe. Many are of an evil disposition, and those that remain are
strong-willed and frequently unfriendly. Some tieflings simply are the way they
are because their families have lived at the heart of universal evil for so
long.
And I also found a very good bit of info on their psychology from a very useful
website. Sadly it won't let me do a link and I can't get Quickedit to work for
that. -.-#
Here's a cut 'n paste from there.
Race Overview: Wretched. Outcasts. Borne without a parent, borne
into strange lands of the Lower Planes with nothing but themselves to rely on,
the tieflings are part human and part something else. That 'something else' is
rarely one thing: the bloodlines that they come from are almost undeniably
tinted with fiendish blood. Horns. Goat feet. Tails. Six fingers. Three eyes.
Random deformities. A tiefling can look like anything, as long as that
"anything" isn't normal. While the aasimar are what most would
consider the perfection of human form, the tieflings are the perversion of it.
Mutants. Not one of them looks "normal", rather, they are each an
individual, both mentally and physically. The story that each tiefling could
tell is sure to be one of mystery, intrigue, betrayal, and greed - and what
makes it even more interesting is that it could all just be a lie. Tieflings
lie frequently and lie when it suits them to do so. It is their fiendish nature
peeking through, tapping them on the shoulders, and not letting it be
forgotten. Anger, rage, greed, the 'deadly sins' of Judeo-Christian mythology
are like old friends to the tieflings. Not all tieflings want this. Most hate
it, seeing their fiendish blood something that makes them scorned, untrusted,
and hated by normal people. They desire to prove themselves, to show the world
that they've risen above the stereotype that it's shown to them. They've
survived on their own all their life, and they're not going to turn to other
people for help. They're going to make a name for themselves in something, or
they're going to die trying.
Allies and Enemies: The tieflings really have no friends. Nobody out
there really cares about the tieflings, so they tend to keep to themselves.
Even other tieflings don't trust each other, all of them are wretched refuse
cast onto the teeming shores of the multiverse with nobody to rely upon, not
even their own kin. Because of their varied backgrounds and stories, the
tieflings have nothing to tie them together as a race, and as such usually stay
far away from one another. To a tiefling, another one is competition, another
obstacle in their way. A villain. Of course, the Aasimar and celestial beings
of the Upper Planes have nothing to do with tieflings as a rule.
The fiendish blood that runs through their veins is more than enough to make
creatures of purity wholly distrust them. It is rare that the aasimar or the
celestials of the Upper Planes will have dealings with the tieflings, and there
are even rumours of a secret Upper Planar plot - led by an overzealous asuras,
angelic being existing to punish evil - to cleanse the streets of Sigil of the
foul presence of the tieflings.
