*TheBabyOfTheBunch: It's mentioned that Janae, the most junior asari huntress in the unit Cora served with, is considered the baby. But even then, she's over 200 years old, making Cora a positive newborn by comparison.

**Cora relates that asari raise biotic barriers when threatened, the same way humans clench their fists or turians click their mandibles. She herself does this instinctively when accosted by a [[{{Jerkass}} Homeward Sol member]].

* CultureClash: Cora has been in asari space so long she experiences this returning to cosmopolitan space. Walking through a spaceport leaves her flustered, as humans, turians, krogan, and others all move so differently from asari and leave her struggling to make her way through the crowd.
*ExplosiveOverclocking: During the climax, Cora's implant helps her overclock her systems to make her body and biotics stronger. He compares it to entering a krogan bloodrage. He warns her that she'll need to get medical attention the second it's over, though, as the build-up of stress and chemicals in the body is lethal.

Cora Harper is returning to human territory after having spent four years with an asari commando squad known as Talene’s Daughters based on Thessia. Experiencing severe reverse culture shock and a fair bit of xenophobic sentiment for having “collaborated with aliens”, Cora reports to Theia Outpost, the headquarters of the Andromeda Initiative, on her former commander Nisira’s urging. Over there, she meets Alec Ryder, the Human Pathfinder, who assigns her what should have been a simple mission to retrieve some stolen property. She is even assigned an implant that integrates her with an "Initiative VI" that is more than it seems. Cora enlists the help of a fledgling mercenary band led by a former member of her asari commando unit, but then the mission goes horribly wrong when the merc band betray her, seize the retrieved property and try to kill her.

Why is it that someone is rigging an auction to get their hands on this? Why is Alec Ryder being so cagey about this stolen property? The deeper Cora digs, the more she finds out that she wished she had never known.
* AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler: The experimental SAM-E integrated into Cora has a stuttering problem. Also, Medea the AI that was built using stolen SAM-E code is unstable to say the least]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: For Cora Harper.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: In the game, Cora’s ability to spam Charge and Nova combos as well as Shield Boost make her pretty much indestructible. Over here, she has none of those abilities, just a standard biotic barrier that weakens when shot or warped that forces Cora to stick to cover. She can also toss out Singularities, which she cannot do in game.
* GoingNative: Cora did this so much with the asari, that she even finds the chaotic movement of a human crowd in a space station, disconcerting. A former asari commando that Cora meets, claims that she too went native on Palaven and struggled to readapt to asari society. Consequently, quite a few xenophobic humans accuse Cora of this.
