My Shepards.
This is just a quick cheat sheet for those who are interested. That way you know what to picture when you read my fanfics ;)
Lorelei Shepard
Lorelei stars is most of my fanfics.
Lorelei is paragade. She takes prisoners, helps the injured, but will not hesitate to punch a bitch in the face (or a quarian general in the gut) if the need arises.
What she looks like:
Native American
Tan skin
Black hair that falls to her butt when not in its usual, military bun.
Mature features with a proud, roman nose.
Dark brown eyes.
Her history:
Earth Born
Sole survivor with minor PTSD
Saved the council.
Romanced Kaiden in ME1
Romanced Garrus in ME2 and 3.
Sacrificed Ashley
Talked Wrex down.
Saved the rachni both times.
Destroyed the Reaper baby in ME2.
Saved all crew but Miranda in ME2
Cured the Genophage.
Saved the quarians and geth.
Took the destroy ending.
Special connections:
Bond-mate of Garrus. Very close relationship with Joker. They look on each other as siblings. Also very close with Wrex, and Grunt. Best friend of Mordin Solus (RIP). Good friend of Major Kirrahe. Best friends with Liara and Tali. Strained relationship with her old lover, Kaiden. Very close with Dr Chakwas (sees her as a mother figure.) Is annoyed by EDI to some extent, but tolerates her because of Joker.
Valkyrie Shepard
She is in fewer of my stories. Paragon through and through. A total white knight character. Strong and kind.
Her appearance:
Blond hair cut short. Blue eyes. Pale, Irish skin tone. Rounder, more classical features than Lorelei.
History:
Spacer
War Hero (with hero complex to match)
Saved the council.
Romanced Liara in ME1
Romanced Garrus in ME2 and 3.
Sacrificed Ashley
Talked Wrex down.
Saved the rachni in ME1 but not 2.
Destroyed the Reaper baby in ME2.
Saved all her crew in ME2
Cured the Genophage.
Saved the geth (sorry quarians!).
Took the synthesis ending.
Special connections.
Bond Mate of Garrus. Like Lorelei she is close with Wrex and Grunt, as well as best friends with Mordin. Also sisterly with Tali (until her death), but has a strained relationship with Liara because of their past relationship. Close with Joker, but not as much as Lorelei. Valkyrie was best friends with Thane. She also formed a surprising friendship with Jack, probably over a mutual hatred for Cerberus.
