What They Know

• Gunnery Chief in the 2nd Frontier Division; posted to Eden Prime when the geth attacked and survived the initial assault that killed most of her unit
• Her grandfather General Williams surrendered to the turians at Shanxi — the only human officer to do so; the family name has carried that reputation through every Alliance posting since
• Has four sisters; her father is also Alliance and she feels the weight of the family tradition through him specifically
• Initially deeply suspicious of alien crew members — her distrust of non-humans is cultural and specific to the context of an Alliance that almost lost its first alien war
• Quotes Tennyson in moments of genuine feeling; this is not affectation, it is how she learned to process large things
