Everyone must take Miranda on the final part of the suicide mission with them at least once just to see this scene. It’s the climax of her character growth, and I think it’s Miranda’s most important scene in the games. I would even argue it’s one of the more important scenes for a character in the series. There are not many characters who get such a flushed out character growth storyline as Miranda gets and if you miss this scene, you miss everything that your Shepard has done for Miranda.
Seven Relationships (Good or Bad): Samara & her daughters
“I sat in a med-lab while a near-sighted doctor droned at me, and I learned nothing is as I thought it would be.”
Tiny fic thing about how Shepard decides to handle losing her scars after Cerberus brings her back, and how Dr. Chakwas reacts to Shepard’s decision.
“I needed this, doc.”
Somehow, Chakwas thinks, the bloody towel pressed diagonally across Shepard’s face takes years off. Looking at Shepard now, she sees the twenty-three-year-old whose dogged tenacity brought her through the ordeals of Akuze. She sees the sixteen-year-old farm girl who lost everything she’d ever known when the batarians attacked Mindoir.
But as she eases the towel away from Shepard’s face, the years and the hardships and the toil come rushing back. All the terrible weight of knowing the truth about something and having so very few believe you. The weight of losing two years after going down with the ship. And the weight no one had thought of, the weight of losing all the scars you’d gained along the way that reminded you it was all real.
Shepard glances up at her, as if expecting reproach or judgement. Chakwas examines the Commander’s handiwork without a word. The cut went through Shepard’s right eyebrow, across the bridge of her nose, and down into her cheek. It was a near perfect tracing of the scar that had been there before Shepard’s death.
“Well, Commander. I suppose I should clean you up and stitch this up for you.” Shepard wants a scar. Chakwas isn’t going to judge her for that. And seeing the tension go out of the Commander’s face and shoulders is enough of a reward.
Morgan Shepard: Spacer. War Hero. Soldier. ME1 to ME3. I don’t have good ME pics of her, but she had a big honkin’ scar across the bridge of her nose. Took a while to get her right in ME3: I didn’t use the Save Editor on her, just ME2 pics for comparison. Will see what the Save Editor version looks like, but I kind of got attached to this look. Even if the redder hair makes her look like a vampire half the time; girl could blind people she is so pasty.
Roman Shepard: Earthborn. Ruthless. Vanguard. ME1, ME2, & ME3. Used Save Editor to fix him up for ME3, and i think he turned out closest to his original looks out of my three ME1 Shepards. Poor Jen Shepard suffers the most from the facial changes, as she had the ME1 default-Jane face as a base 😐
MY FAVOURITE VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS (in no particular order):
Ashley Williams (Mass Effect 1, 2, & 3)
“Death closes all: but something ere the end
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.”
My first Mass Effect play through, Ash quoted Tennyson and my lit major heart went all
