This story is the first in a series I'm going to be doing following all of my Shepards stories, before Mass Effect, through it & after Mass Effect 3. I'm nicknaming it Shepard Origins (heh original right? Like X-Men Origins, yeah I didn't think of that myself).

This first story follows my main Shepard, Asara, who is a Colonist, War Hero & 100% paragon. Unlike my other fics, the chapters won't always be the same length, some may be snippets or may be very long. I'm going to focus more on the stuff that happens in between & after missions, rather than combat & main storyline material.

I'd love love love feedback for this story, because if people don't like it then I'll probably not do another Shepard in the future. All my other stories will continue to be updated, but since they're longer chapters they will be updated less frequently, if you haven't noticed already.

Enjoy!
