Star Star for each of the Shepard siblings, and a star for their parents!
boy i gotta get my thinkin’ cap on here
► You know what sucks? Genetics. Ari’s 5′3. That’s not fun when your brothers are ALL over 6 foot.
► She’s an MMA fighter! Amateur circuits, but considering she has her daughter to bring up by herself, a pretty impressive feat.
► Eirion has a bummer of an 18th birthday, given that it’s smack bang in the middle of the Reaper war. But, because he’s Eiri, he doesn’t think twice about it and carries on with his ‘job’ of helping the refugees in the docks. That lasts until his brothers show up and insist he drop by the dry-docked Normandy to see them, and they’ve somehow acquired a birthday cake and ridiculous bunting.
► He loves reptiles, and he really wants to be an exotic animal vet someday when things settle down.
► Commitment issues? Commitment issues! Yeah, Loch can barely own a shirt for more than a year before he starts getting antsy about it.
► Despite his ancestry, Loch only knows one song in actual Welsh. And that also makes up the majority of the language that he knows. Cade likes to bug him about that, in welsh.
► Despite his dislike of water, Cade’s a pretty good swimmer. He has masses of strength in his legs, chest and shoulders, so he can move seriously fast in water.
► Years of CQC training equals impressive flexibility. Do what you will with that information.
► If you think Cade’s accent is strong, it’s got nothing on Thomas. Tom also liked to put filler words EVERYWHERE. Talking to dad Shepard meant everything took twice as long, because not only did he add unnecessary words, he liked to tell stories about things that were maybe only VAGUELY relevant. Cade can remember plenty of times he was meant to get a talking to, and just get a 40 minute retelling of some bullshit story Tom just made up.
► Aran took no shit from her boys. At all. She had such a kind heart and a genuinely nuturing personality, but god, she could lay the law down hard when things were going to shit. She was just the kind of person you listened to, partly because she made you feel safe, and partly because you kind of just didn’t want to find out what she was like when she was angry.
