blah blah my shepard bio wip

fifi shepard, born 2154 as phitchaya nantakam. mother was a migrant worker from sri lanka(?), who moved with her husband to singapore for better economic conditions. mother was working in janitorial when element 0 accident at singapore international spaceport happened, father was working in maintenance and killed by overexposure(?), mother died in childbirth, gave birth to triplets.

fifi and her siblings were shuttled from foster home to foster home, mostly staying together. as biotics with very limited ability, they were rejected for the baat program but often picked on and bullied. they often spent their time staying out of reach of law enforcement, slavers, gang leaders, and others who would exploit them, and landing in and out of juvenile probation programs.

fifi finally cleaned up her act in 2158 when her brother and sister were killed in a car bomb a meant for a rival gang leader. she started attending high school and asked to be transferred to a particular foster family who had been particularly concerned for her and her brother, adopting their last name. in high school she showed an aptitude for technical skills.

acceptance of biotics still at a low on earth, fifi was successfully recruited into the military, who also promised advanced research and training in her biotic abilities.

on akuze, fifi only survived by through listening to her instincts and protesting the ill-thought orders of non-ground command -- she was placed in cuffs while everyone else was sent to their death. she only survived by hurling herself into her a mako and getting to the landing pad as quickly as possible. this reinforced her dog-eat-dog view of the world, that the military only cares when people in it can die for bad causes.

her squad was like having her family back again. she often thinks of them and has a tattoo to commemorate them.

--

due to her childhood on the streets, she has little time for parasites and anyone who wants something from her. she has a particular aversion to being used.

she firmly believes in peace that the alliance military should only be used for causes of peace. she believes humans (all citadel races in fact) deserve a seat on the council but has no particular prejudice against any alien species.

"There are no good people. Only parasites and plants who can be nurtured."
