Liara is an asari, a species which is perceived to have a feminine appearance by non-asari standards, and which is sometimes described as "all female". The character was the subject of some controversy in 2007 following the release of the original Mass Effect, with at least one case of government scrutiny over a potentially intimate in-game cutscene between Liara and a female Shepard. Various merchandise for the character, as with other of the series' squadmates, has been released. Liara has been received positively, with placements on several "top character" critic and fan lists. Liara also has cameo appearances in Mass Effect: Andromeda, and in the animated feature film, Mass Effect: Paragon Lost, where she is voiced by Jamie Marchi. Outside of the trilogy, Liara appears as the protagonist in the Mass Effect: Redemption series, and the fourth issue of Mass Effect: Homeworlds, a comic series with individual issues on each of several Mass Effect 3 squad mates prior to the Reaper invasion. Liara is voiced by Ali Hillis in the video games. Within the series, Liara is noted for being the galactic scientific community's foremost expert in the field of Prothean archaeology and technology, specifically evidence concerning the demise of the ancient Protheans, believed by the galactic community to be the pre-eminent civilization in the Milky Way galaxy until their sudden disappearance fifty thousands years before the events of the first Mass Effect. She is an asari, a female-appearing species from the planet Thessia who are naturally inclined towards biotics, the ability to "manipulate dark energy and create mass effect fields through the use of electrical impulses from the brain". Liara T'Soni is a fictional character in BioWare's Mass Effect franchise, who serves as a party member (or "squadmate") in the original Mass Effect trilogy.
