Oh right, for some reason, I assumed she was Tali's Aunt? Ooops. I do get some random assumptions for which I have no reason to even think that that is the case...
However, it seems natural that as a people, quarians are much more closer to each other than humans are for example.
Tali calls her "Auntie Raan" but there's no blood relation.
Yes and no. Quarians live crammed together in those ships, and there's an us-against-them mentality because they are so few and the galaxy is in general hostile to them. Yet, privacy is very important to them, since they have so little. It's been theorized that one of the reasons their masks are opaque is for privacy. Same with the deal about suit-linking. They might have to live side by side in an overcrowded ship, but sharing the air they breathe is something they reserve only for the most trusted and loved.
