Commander Tempest Shepard is a psychotic biotic, terrible at tech, a notorious drunk, and the galaxy's last hope. If she were to look herself up in the Shadow Broker's files, what would she find?
This dossier follows her through the events of Mass Effect 2, and stars the same Shepard as 'Starlight'.

I just hit on Garrus. Like, invited him to take a ride on the Tempest-train, if you know what I mean. Like, I just told my best friend that I want to have sex with him. And he said yes. I think. Need to think on this more.

Shepard,
I'm still interested if you are. As for wanting something closer to home, well, like I've said… I've never been a very good turian.
If you want to talk, why don't you come down in a bit when I've finished with these calibrations?
