† ☂
†: Like most people in Vietnam, Adara doesn't really believe in a god, but Buddhism and ancestor worship is still practiced and deeply entrenched and influences the national culture. So Adara isn't actively religious, especially being away from Earth for so long, but she'll still end up doing small things, like lighting incense on the important religious holidays, and expecting - and maybe wanting - a Buddhist monk for her funeral.
☂: Adara hates waste and will eat anything and everything. The only reason she doesn't eat food that's been lying around is she's wary of being poisoned, either deliberately or from it just being spoiled or rotten.

Cold Man’s Nightmare by Cathy Davey
"Shepard?"
The shine of sleek ebony hair caught his eye as he had been walking to the elevator. It had been months since he last saw the Commander, even the news reports had slowly dwindled over Shepard’s involvement over the batarian colony.
The prior months had not been easy. His father slipped further and further into his illness, Kepral’s eating away at him from the inside out. The younger drell helped where he could, but it had been a heavy burden to bear. Their relationship was still fragile and mending.
They didn’t speak of Shepard, but Kolyat could feel the worry and often caught his father in a solipsism-like trance. His father felt distant, often checking his omni-tool and occasionally making vid messages. Kolyat questioned what happened between the assassin and Commander. Did they try to stay in touch? Were the comm lines dead while Shepard was incarcerated? Did she know how ill he was and that time would be short? It wasn’t any of his business, so he never asked. Nor had his father mentioned she had been released.
Boots clank on the metal floor as he walks briskly to catch her, seemingly heading to Huerta. Perhaps to visit his father?
"Shepard… I didn’t know you left earth…" He doesn’t speak of the situation there. The rumors and news reports are buzzing. "Have you seen my father, or been in touch?"
Adara Shepard did not want to be at Huerta Memorial Hospital. Shepard did not like hospitals, had never liked hospitals, and Huerta was no exception - no matter how nice and pretty and pleasant the view was. It still stank of decay in the way only hospitals could, of disinfectants and bleach and whatever else could be used to mask the stench of the dead and the dying. Yes, Huerta Memorial Hospital was no different. “It's freeing to find no requirements placed on me. No responsibilities, no fears. It is a good end to a life.” Shepard's obligatory scowl deepened. Maybe there was one thing that was different. How dare he. She remembered those six months on Earth - the constant worry, the dread, the mind-numbing fear - not for herself. Not of the Batarians. Not Cerberus, or the Alliance. Not even of the Reapers. She remembers the letters she writes, after the first dozen vid messages she sends never gets a reply or even an indication of having been received - pages and pages and pages of nothing in particular, but infinitely sweeter and more loving than anything Shepard had ever felt before, let alone said aloud. Dozens of letters, never to be seen by the person for whom they were meant for. Those words were probably a pile of ashes, buried amidst a sea of the dead. But the way he talks now, I doubt he would even care... Immediately, Shepard feels the sting of guilt wash over her anger and hurt. She shouldn't be worrying over her love life - not when so many were dying. Not when she had a job to do. Shepard sighs, a frustrated exhalation of breath, and steps away from the picture windows. She still had business at Huerta, and the sooner she visited Kaidan - and wasn't that another case of unresolved anger and heartache - the sooner she could go back to wallowing - preferably with a tumblerful of brandy in one hand and a cigar in the other. Shepard is halfway towards the inpatient wings when she hears a raspy voice call out her name. She turns and sees the familiar blue-green and black scales, the deep, dark eyes that were familiar and not at the same time. Shepard feels her frown soften slightly. "Kolyat. It's good to see you again. I hope you're well." Shepard nods in understanding. "I only left very recently. As soon as the Reapers attacked. I needed to see the Council." Shepard looks away when Kolyat mentions his father. She could feel the weight of her visit with Thane weigh her down and blacken her mood again. His calm, resigned nature, her desperation, the words she spat out in her anger... "Yes, we've spoken very recently." She felt unwilling to say more about herself. Instead, she turned the conversation onto Kolyat, and said: "Your father says you've been visiting often, Kolyat. He seemed so happy. I'm glad, too."
