shitty phone pics bc i’m on console and the ps3 is not kind fgsfdgfd top 2 from ME2 import screen, bottom from ME1

After the brutal murder of her parents, siblings and friends she enlisted both in a hunt for a renewed purpose after the destruction of her former life/goals and to try to make the galaxy a little safer. While always more on the laconic side those who trained or served with her saw her as cool, removed and professional but not unpleasant to be around until Akuze. The horrific deaths of her squad were the final nail in the coffin and she closed off completely, becoming almost completely emotionally absent outside of feelings like rage. Those who served with her now found themselves dealing with someone harsh unyielding who had no interest in anything outside the mission. 

Chosen as a spectre candidate more for her record than her personality, she took to the job like a fish to water and went after Saren like a hound from Hell. Despite that vicious determination to find and end him along with the Reaper threat he served she never actually disliked him and at times felt an understanding or connection with him though she never voiced that to anyone for many years. Medea chose to save the Council as part of her belief that if humanity wants to establish itself as a respectable part of the galaxy they have to prove they can see past themselves. 

While Medea is cold, harsh, unsympathetic and intensely aloof during the events of ME1 she also defies many of the assumptions that creates about her. There is a large section of people who think that given her attitude and history she is or likely to be intensely human first, uninterested in learning about other species/cultures and some level of xenophobic-- a likely reason why people like Udina nominated her-- but all of which is wildly untrue. She does care about humanity and their rights/position/etc in the galaxy but she views the galaxy as a whole and all species/cultures as parts of that which need to work together in harmony if anything worthwhile is meant to happen. She cares and is considerate about the needs/beliefs/cultural practices of other species and does not tolerate any bullshit about any of it from anyone towards anyone else (unless Batarians are involved then... well...) . She’s also not a monster and rarely goes out of her way to be needlessly cruel and finds things like the killing of the Rachni queen and the final permanent extinction of their race something she cannot stomach having on her conscience. 

She is inquisitive, forward-thinking, and generally very even keeled and dependable even when violently angry she is largely contained. She might say terrible things while furious but will rarely physically lash out, her aggression is largely saved for combat. She enjoys listening to experts in their fields, differing opinions and expanding her knowledge base to try and be the best she can be at her job.

Fun facts:

had a girlfriend as a teenager, hasn’t dated since her death

gave up on flings/one night stand type things years ago bc of how it interacted with her mental/emotional state

used to be big into dance but stopped with the attack

dressed very techno/vogue goth as a teen (or like u know... the future space version)

likes chill electronica / techno

only wears dark colors

i say she used to dress goth but like... tbh she’s till goth just like... lowkey business/military adult goth...

big fan of colors with names like “deep burgundy” and “bruised plum”

if holt and rosa from brooklyn 99 fused together with the vine of the little girl going apeshit on her elmo and the one of the other little girl sobbing hysterically while combing her hair that’s basically the Vibe here
