I just want to stop the Reapers." Renegade FemShep: Ice cold, razor sharp Jennifer Hale's voice drips venom Intimidates Krogans, stares down Reapers "I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions." The Renegade interrupts are legendary Core Traits: Exhausted but unbreakable Carries grief without drowning in it Makes impossible calls and lives with them The woman who told a Reaper "I'll find a way" and meant it KEY RELATIONSHIPS Garrus Vakarian: Best friend.
