Liara T'SoniI suppose it comes from being a Matriarch's daughter. People expected me to follow in Benezia's footsteps. They wanted me to become a leader of our people.
Liara T'SoniMatriarchs guide their followers into the future; they seek the truth of what is yet to come. Maybe that's why I became so interested in the secrets of the past.
Liara T'SoniIt sounds so foolish when I say it out loud. It sounds like I became an archaeologist simply to spite Benezia.3 choices
Liara T'SoniHa-ha. You share the wisdom of the Matriarch, Shepard. That is exactly what Benezia said when I told her of my decision.
Liara T'SoniBut there was more to it than that. I felt drawn to the past. The Protheans were these wondrous, mysterious figures. I wanted to know everything about them.
