Chapter Text
Posey Grace Shepard
Born on Mindoir to parents Robert and Eliza Shepard, along with her younger sister Poppy Claire. The loss of her family in a batarian slaver attack cracked the soft shell of her childhood, and her first few years in the Alliance military saw a great deal of punishment for sassing her superiors and questioning the rules. As a highly talented biotic and gifted sniper, she excelled in combat training scenarios. However, her temper held her back, delaying the promotions she had more than earned. She grew more and more fiery until a team mission on Akuze went horribly wrong - at the time, it was thought that a decision she had participated in was a major fact in the failure of the mission. (This was later rectified upon the discovery of some of Cerberus's early activities.) Upon realizing that her actions had (supposedly) caused the deaths of so many, Posey pulled in the reins on her temper and learned how to lead by example, rather than force. Her sarcasm remained though, all the way through her N7 training and subsequent Spectre Induction. She's quick-witted and sharp-tongued, slow to trust but quick to offer help to those in need. During the war, she fell hard for one Garrus Vakarian, continuing their relationship through the end of the war.
Her decisions along the timeline of the Reaper War attribute to her belief of doing what's best for the greatest amount of people. Saving the Council from Saren, curing the genophage, and reconciling the Geth and the Quarians were decisions that she did not take lightly, but that she felt had to be made in what little time she had.
Any questions that you may have about Posey's background, personality, quirks, or even minor details are more than welcome (and most appreciated)!!
