Psychological/Emotional Profile : Erica Shepard was orphaned at a young age and was given to foster parents at the age of three. Her foster parents were abusive and neglectful. They took in children only for the extra money they would receive through government programs. After witnessing what happened to some of the older girls within the foster home, she ran away at the age of eight. After a couple of months on the street, trying not to get killed, sold into slavery or worse, she fell in with the Tenth Street Reds. The Reds took her in, fed her and made her one of their own. At the age of ten she was given the duties of a courier. In that job she learned to be fast and resourceful. At the age of 13 she was captured by a rival Turian gang member. Erica killed him. Within the gang, Erica found a love for the excitement of the fight, an almost narcotic dependency on her own adrenaline rush. By the age of 16 she was one of the Tenth Street Reds top soldiers doing whatever it took to survive; however she ultimately saw no future for her in the gang. Thought the Reds had saved her, she knew she had to get out or end up dead. At the age of 18 she enlisted in the Alliance Marines and never looked back.
The slums of Earth taught Shepard how to endure. The gangs taught her how to survive. The Alliance Marines taught her discipline. With those attributes and her own love of battle, she quickly became a fearsome warrior, always first to charge, always getting the job done. Torfan was no exception. At the cost of many lives, Shepard eradicated the Batarians from the small moon. She had no regrets.
Personality: Erica would be an adrenaline junkie were it not for the discipline she received in the Alliance Marines. She knows when to use it and when to rein it in. Keeping herself on an even keel is a demanding task and gives her a cold outward persona. Contrary to what has been said about her, she does not consider herself ruthless. She is practical. She’ll get the job done no matter what, but her ultimate goal is to save as many people as possible. Sometimes that means sacrificing others to do it. She has an enormous dislike for Cerberus, but recognizes they are the only ones fighting the Collectors and thus cuts them a little more slack than would be the norm. She is strict with her crew, but knows when to temper her discipline with kindness. However, nothing gets in the way of the mission.
Romance: Tried out Jacob and it was a good fit, maybe too good a fit. She dumped Jacob when things became too serious. Ultimately fell for Thane, wouldn’t call it love, but a need for comfort and companionship.
Why Shepard and her LI are such a great match: Thane and Erica are a lot alike. The do what needs to be done and make no apologies. They are both soldiers who value loyalty and honor and understand that life is often too short. Erica has commitment issues and so Thane offers her the best of both worlds, commitment with an expiration date.
Best Friends: Erica is on the mission to win a war, not friends, however, she has a soft spot for both Tali and Liara. She respects both Jacob and Miranda. The closet thing she has too a best friend, someone she genuinely feels kinship with, is Samara. Unfortunately, Samara’s code makes having a friendship with her post mission impossible.
Three fun facts:
1. Shepard is an active Skyball player, when she gets the chance.
2. Though she finds him repulsive as a human being, Erica does think of the Illusive Man as being rather handsome.
3. Erica cheats at poker.
