Priita Shepard
Commanding Officer of the Normandy, girlfriend to Joker, mother of Kiran, and Savior of the Galaxy. Grew up on the streets on Earth and opted to join the Alliance at 18 to leave the gang life behind. Unfortunately, eventually ended up on Akuze where her team was wiped out by thresher maws and nearly lost her leg in the entire mess.
She is generally a go-with-the-flow type of person, though she does have a bit of a chip on her shoulder regarding authority figures. Part of it comes from her childhood living on the streets and in a gang, but it mostly has to do with experiences with higher-ups after surviving Akuze.
