Carolynn (MR)

"Hi, mama! Hi, papa!"

- A young Carolynn greeting her parents

Carolynn Rose "Carrie" Shepard (born February 14, 2196) is the youngest child and only daughter of the legendary John Shepard and Ashley Williams. Like her older brothers, she grew up in a life of great privilege and affluence because of her relationship to her famous father.

Early life
Born on the Citadel three years after Ethan, six from David and nine from Kaidan, Carolynn is the youngest child and only daughter of retired Admiral John Shepard and his wife Captain Ashley Williams.

On one snowy morning, Carolynn and her brothers rushed to greet their mother who came home for shore leave, excitedly asking her to play with them.

The Scarlet Festival
Several years later, when classes at school were dismissed for the holiday, Carolynn happily greeted her older brothers Kaidan, David and Ethan upon their return home. While David and Ethan brushed her off, Kaidan was the only one who acknowledged and thanked her.

Soon, she and her brothers are warmly greeted by their maternal grandmother. When the household receives a holo-vid from their mother, they were ecstatic to learn she was coming home for shore leave.

Personality and traits
"She's such a sweetheart."

- Sarah Williams, about her niece

Carolynn is a sweet, considerate child as shown when she presented her paintings to her parents, hoping they would like them. She also cares about her older brothers, especially Kaidan, and vice versa. Carolynn has a very close attachment to her parents, as she refers to them as "Mama" and "Papa". When Kaidan was bedridden after getting the flu, Carolynn stayed by her brother's bedside, doing her best to apply cold washcloths on his forehead to bring his temperature down and feeding him vegetable soup. Unlike David and Ethan, yet similar to Kaidan, she takes more after her father being patient, supportive, and understanding of her often-absent mother and her military duties, but yearns for her to be home at times.

Appearance
Carolynn bears a strong resemblance to her mother, having her dark chocolate brown hair that lets down, brown eyes and a light skin complexion. She also inherited Ashley's face and mouth.
