“Shepard’s team would follow her through the Omega 4 Relay, to Reaper controlled planets, and into Hell itself.

However, the Mako is a completely different story.”

“Shepard loved to read about Nihlus on the extranet and had secret daydreams about going on Spectre missions with him, so the mission to Eden Prime was a dream come true for her.
(Until everything went sideways.)

“Garrus is and will always be Shepard’s best friend. He’s the brother she never had, and she’d let a whole colony burn to the ground to keep him alive.”

“I like to think that my Shepard was romantically involved with Nihlus before Eden Prime. 

The entirety of ME1 was a mission of revenge.”

“Shepard does not want to survive the reaper invasion. The longer he lives, the more he is sure that he wants to die. He has caused so much death, too much death, and he doesn’t want to have to live with that for the rest of his life. The only thing that might make him change his mind is Liara; when he is close to completely losing control, she can bring him back from the brink every time.”

“Drifting in space, running out of air, and knowing she was going to die, Shepard’s last thoughts were of Liara’s bright blue eyes and sweet smile.”

“Renegade Shepard rarely goes out of his way to help anyone unless it is part of his mission.  Except for Quarians.  He’s got a soft spot for Quarians because of his love for Tali.”

“Spacer/Adept Shepard hates being a biotic.  Growing up idolizing soldiers and only manifesting in adolescence after a secondary eezo exposure, she was forced to reassess how she viewed herself and what her career would look like.  She questions if she would have been good enough to be a marine on her own merits, without her “gifts.””

“My Colonist Shepard joined the military because of a boy. The first few weeks of boot camp were terrible for her, but she managed to push her way through due to sheer stubbornness. She ended up dumping her fellow-recruit boyfriend when he demanded that she stop beating him at all of the proficiency tests. The military gave her life a purpose for the first time since Mindoir.”
