Shed Garvey
- Minor
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 1
A fair-skinned young man with limp blond hair that he runs a hand through when anxious, his average build suited to long hours hunched over a lab table in a spaceship's medical bay. His face is expressive with wide eyes that show fear clearly, the skin turning pale under stress or causing his ears to flush bright crimson when embarrassed. Dressed in the functional jumpsuit of a medical technician, he presents as a capable but nervous crew member performing delicate procedures like debriding wounds with focused intensity.
