7. Is your Ryder good at driving the Nomad?
Alexi likes to think that she’s like a racing car driver, and is certain that every trip with her is basically a joyride because she does everything in her power to make it one. Jumping of cliffs, running over enemies, blasting her favorite club hits, how could anyone not enjoy that?
The truth is, she never actually learned to drive, she can’t calculate distances very well and her music gives a headache to anyone but her.
This all changes when Jaal falls asleep. Because the moment she spots him closing his eyes in the backseat, she turns the music off, puts both hands on the wheel, sticks to the roads and even uses the turn signals. No one even knew the Nomad had turn signals.
15. What does your Ryder think about Shepard?
They were the bestest of friends, obviously. They met on the Citadel when Shepard investigated Saren and immediately bonded over their love for alien romance films. Shepard even helped her dye her hair for the first time and loved Alexi so much that she ignored her responsibilities just to go partying with her every night. They were super close and Shepard even asked her to join the Normandy but Alexi missed the departure because of an orthodontist appointment.
At least that’s the story she tells everyone. The truth is, she did actually meet Shepard once when Shepard bumped into her shoulder and apologized for it. But that would be too boring to share.
