"femshep" as she is affectionately know to her many fans, is the female incarnation of Mass Effect's main protagonist, Commander Shepard.  Many of of her fans have followed femshep from the beginning in Mass Effect 1. Although femShep has never appeared in any promotional trailer or screenshot she has grown a steady and vocal following within the last four years.  She may be sidelined, but femshep, quite by accident,  has forever changed the way we look at games. One can only hope that she will inspire new, strong, female heroes but there will never be anyone quite like her.
