It's been a while since I romanced Tashia, but I don't think you need to delay most of the sidequests until after the Underdark - I never did. The important thing is to do Trademeet early (to get Tashia) but make sure you meet the romance requirements (reputation). I usually did the Copper Coronet slave quests first to get a quick rep increase and then headed out to Trademeet. And you may want to pass on having Viccy or Yasraena in your party to avoid the rep hit that comes with them.

There are no racial restrictions on the romance, but Tashia is neutral good and will not join parties with a low reputation.

She is more powerful than Kelsey -stats and spell selection wise- and have a figurine of a  spirit leopard - Peanelian - which has some extreme immunities, best not to use it. Don't forget to pick her up early to have control over her spell choices. She is lethal in combat if you know what you're doing. Note that the loot at the end of her quest is totally unbalanced (amulets of power, 2 Malakars..), NOT good.

Her romance is quite long and she have many lovetalks (who can be accelerated without messing the game), usually you don't reach committed state before chapter 6. Pay attention to a certain dream when romancing her.

The romance comes with a twist and is overly well done, you don't have to babysit her, just be nice. Make her a gift from a shop in the Promenade. You can also try your wits answering her riddles.

Tashia is endearing and fun to play, one of my favorites with Amber and Tyris Flare, but only interesting if you romance her, a bit bland otherwise, so when you don't want to romance her and don't need a sorcerer leave her at the pub.

You should have a rep of about 11 or 12 when you ask her to join your group (IIRC)

so... would you advise not to use her with an "Evil" Charname? Being evil doesn't mean always to have low reputation...

She won't join an evil aligned PC, whatever his reputation; Tried an evil character with 16 reputation, she just said she prefer to stay in the inn and wished him good luck. Neutral characters are good to go, but romance won't start before you hit 13 reputation.
