Sexuality:Yael: grayromantic lesbian (her relationship with Thane confused everyone)Sho: bisexual

Favorite color:Yael: greenSho: red

Relationship status:Yael: in a sexual and kinda-maybe-nobody-knows romantic relationship with Samantha Traynor, with James Vega tacked on as their queerplatonic cuddle buddy, basicallySho: in a relationship with Ashley Williams (though where I am in the game with them, Sho’s in a sex-and-booze-only relationship with Zaeed, though both of them would punch me if they heard me refer to their thing as a “relationship”)

Ideal mate:Yael: long-term relationships really aren’t her thing; in a partner she’d want someone who was cool with her grayromantic orientation, and also a fun person to be around. And, if not mirroring her faith, supportive of her religious beliefs and practices. That last bit’s important.Sho: honestly, Sho didn’t they’d live long enough to have anything remotely considering a life partner. Someone they can trust and who has a sense of humor, mostly.

Turn-ons:yeah I’ve quit answering this question

Favorite food:Yael: banh mi, raspberry sorbetSho: sushi; Sho was as bummed as anyone about the sushi joint

Crushes:Yael: noneSho: currently Zaeed.

Favorite music:Yael: “Night on Bald Mountain” is one of her go-to combat soundtracks. Everyone else thinks she’s a bit off for it.Sho: 1990s riot grrl, Bikini Kill and the like

Biggest fear:losing the other

Biggest fantasy:Yael: converting that below-deck space in Engineering to a calm relaxing war-free space. Not exactly Traynor’s white picket fence fantasy (which she’s totally in for), but sometimes it’s hard to get away from the war.Sho: installing a soft-serve ice cream machine in the Normandy's mess. Hey, there's a war on. Little dreams are the ones you know are gonna come true right now.

Bad habits:Yael: responsible alcohol commander doesn’t always tape up her hands and wrists before hitting the heavy bagSho: responsible smoking commander has had enough of your shit; be an adult and solve your own fucking problems

Biggest regret:Yael: she wishes Torfan could’ve gone down differently, but she doesn’t regret what she didSho: that Elysium was played up as some big huge heroic act. They didn’t do it alone, and they didn’t exactly do it cleanly.

Best kept secrets:Yael: she killed someone when she was in the Reds. Sho’s the only one who knows.Sho: Red Sand played a huge part in their actions on Elysium

Last thought:Yael: “Please let that have worked.”Sho: “Fuck, this better work.”

Worst romantic experience:Yael: almost all of them, because why the hell is romanceSho: pretty much any interaction with someone who couldn’t gender them properly after a couple dates has ended poorly

Biggest insecurity:Yael: did Cerberus really bring me back, or am I just a Yael-shaped golem?Sho: am I anything other than a human fucking rocket?

Weapon of choice:Biotics, grenades, and a Claymore. Things just blow up and die around these two. A lot. Their squadmates sort of hang back and enjoy the show.

Full name: Isabella MiddleName Shepard

Best friend: Miranda. AND WE'RE PRETENDING I DIDN'T GET HER KILLED ON HORIZON OKAY THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

Sexuality: Straight. She's my only straight Shepard. It's adorable.

Favorite color: Dark red.

Relationship status: very much with Kaidan

Ideal mate: she didn't put a whole lot of thought into this beforehand, but she likes Kaidan.

Turn-ons: Kaidan's voice? I don't know what turns straight allo people on. I'm so stuck on writing the two of them together because I don't understand how her attraction to him even works.

Favorite food: popcorn.

Crushes: Kaidan. 

Favorite music: Indie hip-hop.

Biggest fear: falling off the wagon

Biggest fantasy: she doesn't allow herself to think too far ahead. But, before she actually did it, she really really very much wanted to shoot Kai Leng in the throat.

Bad habits: well there were those years when she was a drug addict and alcoholic, that was kinda bad.

Biggest regret: I mean she didn't particularly enjoy ODing and landing in the hospital, but it led her to Anderson and the Alliance so.

Best kept secrets: those years in the Reds and all the drug stuff. Anderson did a damn good job of wiping everything from public record and sealing up everything the Alliance had.

Last thought: "Ouch."

Worst romantic experience: straight cis allo people, I don't even know.

Biggest insecurity: that Kaidan will leave. And she hates herself for having that insecurity.

Weapon of choice: Paladin.

I just. It makes me so upset that your doctor did that. What the hell did they even put you on? Remeron? Seroquel? (You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.) Ugh. I’m so sorry that happened to you. Also, if you want med info, I have links.

I can't remember the name of it, unfortunately. And, to be fair, the side effects I got were probably way more extreme than usual, since I'm tiny and also apparently part of my brand of neuroatypicalness tends to cause people to react way more strongly to side effects (a fact that my therapist told me last Sunday, that she'd thought my doctor had already known).
