Gabriella Daniels

Gabriella "Gabby" Daniels  is a former Alliance engineer. She is a Cerberus operative in the Lazarus Cell and an engineer aboard the Normandy SR-2 in 2185.

Mass Effect 2
Engineer Daniels works in the engine room along with her best friend, Kenneth Donnelly. They graduated from the same class at a tech academy and served aboard the SSV Perugia at the Battle of the Citadel. After the battle, when the Alliance discredited the existence of the Reapers, Kenneth openly voiced his defense for Commander Shepard, which led to his recruitment by Cerberus. Gabby insisted to Kenneth that she be included in the contract as she felt he would fall apart without her.

Gabby loves starship engines and she couldn't pass up the opportunity to serve aboard the Normandy SR-2. She works on the engineering deck, next to Kenneth. Gabby frequently chats with Kenneth about new ship upgrades or new crew members; She scolds Kenneth every time he makes a sexist comment; after Jack has been recruited, she teases Kenneth about the newest crew member who wears nothing but tattoos from the waist up, only to tell him that she is a psychopathic murderer after Kenneth intends to introduce himself to Jack.

Gabby is among the Normandy crew members abducted by the Collectors when they invade the Normandy.

Mass Effect 3
Gabby is taken into custody when the Alliance impounded the Normandy. Shepard frees her to return to work in the Normandy's engine room by using his Spectre status.

At some point during Normandy's "downtime" in 2186, Gabby and Ken were both approached by Cerberus, but heeding Gabriella's intuition they both refused the offer.

Gabby and Kenneth both get to work on the engineering deck, resuming their old activities on the Alliance Normandy SR-2. They frequently chat about their present and past adventures, with Kenneth occasionally making sexist comments about other women, and Gabby scolding him.

Chief Engineer Adams describes Gabby as a very talented person who knows propulsion theory better than most physicists he has met. He expresses his gratitude to Shepard for getting her on the team.
