Shepard looked at the women, Tali? How? She watched her friend fall and now here was her friend who was clearly delirous with infection pointing a gun at her. “Tali….please put it down your okay. It’s okay. Your safe. We can get you help”
❝ I don’t need your damn help! You did enough already! ❞ The Quarian barks. Her helmet is cracked, her hood ripped & chest bloody – when she’d taken the fall she’d thought she was going to join her people, but now here she was, gun pointed at an old friend. When she’d gotten off the base off that cliff she knew she’d lived for a reason: to exact revenge for the death of her people. She’s shaking now, the light in her helmet flickering erratically. Tali’s breath is heavy, but she’s just managing to stand. ❝ I’m not afraid to kill you, Shepard. You let my people die. ❞
Tali’s hands are medium sized for a female Quarian, & surprisingly rough for being contained inside an exosuit. Her fingers are long & thick, without nails. The back of her hands have a delicate lavender tint, while her palms are a pale yellowish gray. Her palms & fingers have soft pads, almost like a dog. Dark purple, almost black, designs spiral down her arms & over the backs of her hands & fingers; when using tech-based abilities the designs glow a soft lavender or blue.
HAIR
Tali’s hair is a dark purple, which appears black in most light, & is cut in a bob framing her face. It is straight, & comes out behind a short crown of horns that rise out of her forehead. The crest is colored with a lavender tint, edged in a grayish-yellow; the crest is hard like bone, with a soft yellowish underside that gives away to her hair. The underside, like the palms of her hands, has a rough “pad”, like that of a dog or cat. Her hair is soft & light, & is not prone to static or stray hairs. Her arms & legs lack hair, though it does grow down the back of her neck in the shape of a v, & is a lighter shade of purple. Her exosuit is programmed to treat her hair with a growth stopping hormone that keeps it at its current length, in the style of a bob.
FACE
Tali’s face is soft & heart shaped. The skin is colored a grayish-yellow, with a lavender tint, & is soft & considerably layered over her skull. Her cheeks are full & freckled (the freckles are a dark purple), with high cheekbones & a sharp, small jaw. Her nose is small & square, smooth, without pores, & is close to her face, with small nostrils that are almost triangular. Her nose appears almost flat against her face, & is not as sharply pronounced as a humans; her nostrils are plain on her face, & from the side her nose appears a triangular curve coming out of her face. Her ears are small compared to a humans, which is smooth within; her earlobes are nonexistent, & the tips are close to her skull, connected by skin, but still lightly pointed. Her ears curve lightly into her skull, where it connects to her ear canal. Her forehead is wide, with a crest of bone at the top before giving away to her hair. Her eyes are small & sunken slightly under arched bone, which is covered with an eyebrow, colored dark purple & is composed of fine hairs. Her lips are a darker lavender color, & are smooth compared to a humans; they are small & thin, & her teeth beneath are smooth & white, square near the center before gradually giving away to sharp canines & fang-like teeth.
