Full Name: Saskia Annwin Shepard

The other, thought to be of Slavic origin, means “protector of mankind”.
Age: 32
MBTI: INFJ-T ‘The Advocate’- creative, gentle, and caring. One of the rarest types (source)

Physical Appearance: Pale-skinned, jet black bobbed hair down to her shoulders with a side fringe. Bright green eyes wear mascara and red lipstick. Stands at 5ft 3. Well built.
Signature Scent: Pine trees, horses, gun oil, earl grey tea
Clothing Style: She prefers to wear either her scientist outfit or the N7 hoodie while on the Normandy. But outside she likes comfortable clothes, like jumpers or shirts with boots and jeans. On special occasions, she’ll wear dresses.
Defining Gestures: Crossing her arms, and on hips, scratching
Speaking Style: Depending on the topic, but chatty with a Welsh accent. On missions, Saskia is commanding.
Pet Peeves: More of a hate, but those who desecrate historical sites and abuse animals. Those who harm others for the sake of it or their own goals.
Fondest Memory: From childhood, the first time she visited Russia to see her grandmother. Looking out for the first time in Space. As an adult, adopting their children and marrying her love, Garrus
Hobbies and Interests: Reading, research, history, religion and mythology, horse riding, cleaning her gun, sniper rifle competitions, baking
Special Skills and Abilities: She’s very skilled at battle tactics and sniping, and quite good at baking if that counts
Insecurities: She has anxiety, worries that she’s not doing enough to help people. And she suffers very much from survivor’s guilt after the events of the Reaper War
Quirks and Eccentricities: Quiet and thoughtful, often falls asleep whenever she is working, stays up way too late, takes a book everywhere
Phobias: None
What Makes Them Happy? Being in Space and on Earth, being with her real family and found family, the Normandy, adopted children, Garrus, books, animals
Three Words to Describe Them: Loyal, compassionate, hero
Spacer/Sole Survivor/Solider/Paragon
Garrus
Appreciation post
I’ve had this wedding scene of Saskia and Garrus stuck in my head for the last few months and I just had to commission it! @savbakk was the absolutely perfect artist for this and JUST LOOK 😍😭😍😭😍😭
I’m dead, this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!!!! Just look how happy they are, the colours, the background everything. I’m speechless. Thank you my dearest Sav <3
It’s been excruciating tough recently, and Saskia is my hero, to see her happy makes me hope I can be.
Please, I beg of you follow and commission my friend @savbakk, it’s absolutely worth it.
I love your Sheps! May I ask of them to describe one the most memorable childhood memories? Something that they still hold to their heart as dearest thing?💜
Aww thank you my dear
Saskia’s would be when she first saw space for the first time. She was born on Earth and they loved back top space when she was about 4/5 so seeing space for the first time absolutely entranced her. It’s one of her dearest memories.
Mara-it’s probably one Christmas, where everyone got presents, had fun, played games and had good food. Just any kind of memory with her family is a treasure to her.
And Deidre probably doesn’t have any fond memories as a child as it was a rough childhood. One of the memories she holds close to her heart is when Anderson found her on the run and took her in.
So I had the absolute pleasure of winning first place in the frankly lovely @savbakk ‘s giveaway. She is so sweet and fun to work with!!!

I just saw a screenshot of one of your Shepards and it got me curious about her (and your others as well). So if you feel like talking about them, what initially drew your Shepard's to their love interests?
Aww thank you for asking, it’s very kind of you =)
Saskia and Garrus
Saskia has always been fascinated with the alien races, their culture and especially their history. Always an advocated for shared learning experiences she was thrilled to have Garrus and co. on board.
But when getting to know him she kind of felt a kindred spirit in him-they both have relatively famous military parents and want to try and help people. That intrigued her, plus she does think he’s very handsome
Mara and Kaidan
Mara is very much a biotic like Kaidan and was quite pleasantly surprised to meet him on the Normandy so she made a point to be friends at least.
But then she discovers his humour, compassion, his soft and serious sides and she sort of fell for him there and then- especially that sweet moment when you first reach the Citadel and he compliments ShepardThat’s what really drew her in initially.
Deidre and Thane
Deidre has always been really quite shy when it comes to romance and romantic entanglements but Thane was always so gentle with her. Cerberus and Miranda her expect her to always beCommander Shepard, the saviour of the Citadel but Thane saw her as Deidre, the anxious woman from Earth. He understood and spoke her as a person not a hero.
