Description I got inspired by Just-Jasper's art for the 28 Days of Commander Shepard meme and decided to give it a go myself.
This is the first one: Forget my Name

Haze Shepard was born and abandoned on Earth. Haze lived with her religious mother and father until she was 6 years old. Her parents baptized her in the hopes of the Lord protecting her from the devil's influence (the effects of the eezo her mother had been exposed to during pregnancy), but when her biotics started showing her parents believed she had been claimed by Satan. She was called it or "the thing" and spent most of her early childhood avoiding her parents abuse until the day her father drove her into the city and told her to wait for them. She waited. For 10 years, going back to the same spot every day until she realized they wouldn't be coming back for her.

She picked up the name Haze after the brand on the tatty shoes she wore when she joined with her first street gang and has used it ever since. She took the name Shepard from the character -a preacher- in one of her favourite childhood stories. Nobody knows Haze's real name, not even Haze herself because she can't remember it.

Yeah, it's part of a FemShep/Ashley fic I'm working on right now. 

I'm actually typing up the chapter which contains this bit right now.

You can find the first few chapters here: www.biowarestore.com/risk-mass…

*bows humbly*

Thank you. The meme just-jasper introduced me to is SO inspiring and I'm happy I seemed to have manage to capture Shepard's emotions in this pic. Thanks for commenting!

This is a wonderful... and sad canon. But I like it
Great art. Sheps look is so intense. Wow!

My this Shepard is my latest playthrough and she is the least likeable one at first sight, but once you get to know her you'll understand why she is so cold and calculating many times. Even manipulative. She's also the most interesting imho out of all my Sheps. 


Thank you so much for your kind comments on this one. I didn't think it would be as well-liked as it seems to be. Glad I managed to convey Shepard's mood.

Oh wow, this is a great start! Is that a nod to Firefly as a "childhood story"? If so, that's great. It's so sad to hear about how she got her start in life though. I'd love to know more about how she relates to religion after that.

Yes! Oh my God! I'm so glad you caught on to the reference.

I once put a Firefly reference in my FemShep/Miri fic. 

Had Tali say: "Besides, doesn't Cerberus know that you should never fly Capissen 38? We could fall right through the sky with those." but no one got it.


Thanks for doing yours, totally inspired me to do it as well. 

And yeah, this Shepard of mine has had a pretty rough life. Until she met Ash.
