My beloved Commander Teyla Shepard-Alenko has been perfected by the ever so amazing @cheekywithcullen! And yes the coffee mug says “this one’s coffee mug” and it was all Jess’ idea. Thank you so much!!

OKAY LAST TIME I SWEAR! I went back again, made some tweaks again and now I feel it's my Shep! Went back to ME3 and realized I had picked the wrong eyebrows and I guess that's what made me feel "hmmm somethings wrong". But now she's here!

I am loving this Asari Commando Armor for Teyla!

Lovely drawing of my Shepard, Teyla and her hunky space boyfriend. 

By the amazing badwolf626. 

Look at these space nerds in love. 

[okayhotshots]

Just in case anyone was wondering. 

My Shepard, Teyla, is very smol. 

I headcanon her around 5′4 and Kaidan around 6′2. 

*heavy breathing, rips open shirt* HEIGHT DIFFERENCES.

What class is Teyla?

Send me random asks, I am drunk. 

Teyla Elizabeth Shepard is a Vanguard. 

Also: for extra fun facts, she is an Earthborn and a Sole survivor.

Since I just read your fic with her, Teyla Shepard 14, 23, 43 (minus the prude part) and 86 :)

Character questions. [accepting] (x)

FIRST OF ALL, THIS TOOK FOREVER AND I AM SORRY. 

Second, this is way longer than I intended. Sorry. :D

14. Do they have someone they consider to be family even if they aren’t blood related? What is there favorite moment with this person? What makes them special?

Okay, so, for Teyla, who was born on Earth and an orphan, her crew is her family. They are the most important people in the world to her and she would walk through hell and back for them. But if she had to pick one of them above all others (besides Kaidan, of course) it would be Garrus. 

From the very beginning, Teyla and Garrus hit it off. Even though Garrus liked to pretend he was serious and never had any fun at all, Teyla saw through that and threw friendly digs his way. Garrus, eventually, couldn’t help but do the same. Even though on the surface, their friendship looked like a lot of fun and games, they really did confide in each other. Besides Kaidan, Garrus was the only one she could talk about her grief about Virmire with, she trusted Liara, but you know, things were awkward with them at first. 

Garrus was the first one to rejoin her after Cerberus brought her back. I headcanon that he didn’t exactly agree with them, but he trusted Shepard? If that makes sense? Anyway, for awhile, he was the only one she had. She couldn’t contact Kaidan, Miranda and Jacob both felt like the enemy and she was slowly but surely acquiring the rest of her crew. Garrus was there when she had nightmares about floating in endless space, gasping for air. They would stay up playing poker and just talking. And they never felt anything more than platonic love for each other. 

Garrus was really supportive of Teyla after what happened on Horizon. She was a mess, as much as she hated to be. And he offered her support. And he as one of her rocks through out the entirety of Three. Their friendship is really important to Teyla’s story and he is such a important part of Teyla’s life. He’s her brother. There’s no Shepard without Vakarian. 

And their favorite (canon) moment with them is when they go to the top of the Citadel and play target practice. Teyla isn’t always the best with her emotions and it was one of the first times she really let Garrus know what he meant to her. 

23. Does your character know any languages apart from their native one? Do they have a desire to learn any? 

Teyla’s a smart woman, she picked up a handful or phrases from a lot of different languages during her time on the streets. But she never really learned an entire language until she joined the Alliance. She never had the resources. 

Once she joined the military, I feel like she learned simple phrases from the well known races, so she could better communicate with them. When she got closer with Tali, she really found herself loving he quarian language and during her six months on Earth, she sort of convinced Vega to teach her Spanish. And she often jokes that Kaidan taught her to speak “Canadian”. 

43. What are they like when they’re drunk?

Teyla’s a social drinker and she doesn’t usually get drunk for the most part. I headcanon that the reason most of the crew knows that she can’t dance is because she got way too drunk with them one night. She can get pretty wild, and that’s pretty much when she lets loose the most. 

86. Do they have anything they consider a good luck charm?

Okay. I have the cheesiest headcanon about this. Please don’t laugh at me. So I have this heacanon that before the final battle on Earth, Teyla and Kaidan traded dog tags. It would be like, if they got separated during the fight, a piece of each other would be with them all the time and that was her good luck charm. 

THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS. I love talking about my baby Teyla.

For Teyla (Shepard ask) - 1, 11, 12, 18 & 21.

28 Days of Shepard (or ya know, 28 asks) [accepting] (x)

THIS IS ALSO LIKE TWO WEEKS LATE. I AM GARBAGE. 

1. Forget My Name: What is Shepard’s first and middle name? How do they feel about their name? Does it have any special meaning? 

Teyla Elizabeth Shepard. Her name doesn’t really hold any special meaning. I didn’t do much research into names before I named her. But she never really cared much about her name until she heard it sound like music coming for Kaidan Alenko’s lips. 

11. Uncover Lover: Who was Shepard’s love interest? Why?

Okay. The funny thing about this is, that Teyla had such an intent not to get attached to any of her crew. She was a sole survivor and she didn’t want to get close to a crew again just to have them die on her watch. And then she met Kaidan and they just had like this instant connection

They both made stupid jokes and offered each other comfort in times of need and she slowly found herself falling for him despite herself. Kaidan is the one weakness that she allowed herself to have. 

12. We Three: Who is Shepard’s favorite shore party? Or do they switch it up?

Shepard really likes to take Kaidan and Garrus. Those are her boys. Kaidan is her babe and Garrus is her best friend. She loves to have her boys fighting at her side. But she does switch it up occasionally. 

18. No Place Like Home: How does Shepard feel about Earth?

It was her first home. She didn’t have the best life, but it’s part of what made her who she is today. So she had a soft spot for Earth. 

21. Human After All: How does your Shepard feel about artificial intelligence?

Shepard was all for it, actually. EDI was one her best friends and she enjoyed seeing her come to life and become more and more like a person. But she realized the threat that the reapers posed and that’s why she chose the Destroy ending.
