Appearance:
Shelby has honey blonde hair and grey-green eyes. She stands at about 5’5” and is quite fit for her age because she spends most of her ‘alone time’ exercising. If she got to choose her clothing, her style would look like this:
Example
Shelby pierced her own ears 3 times. So she has 6 piercings on her ears total, though she had to remove 4 of them when she was given to the governor. It wasn’t “proper” for a wife to look so “trashy”.
Personality:
Shelby is very headstrong. She refuses to be ordered around like a small child, but responds well to kind requests. She HATES the idea of being forced to be a wife to make more children, and resists the idea with all that she is. If she doesn’t like something she isn’t afraid to speak her mind, and she prides herself on that part of personality. Even though Shelby comes off extremely independent she actually becomes quite depressed when she’s left alone for a long period of time. She thrives on human interaction, and she will do what she has to for attention if she feels lonely. Shelby CAN be a very kind person but she has to feel close to and trust that person before she will show them any kind of warmth. Thus far in her life, her sister is the only one she had ever shown warmth and kindness to.
Shelby is a fighter. She will defend what she believes in even if she knows it could result in a beating (sometimes she will defend her point just to make someone angry if she doesn’t like them).
History:
Shelby’s mother had her when she was 20, and her father was ecstatic to be having a little girl. Then when Shelby was 6 her mother became pregnant again, but lost the baby at 7 months along. Her mother went into a serious depression, quit her job, and slept all day. Shelby’s father didn’t know what to do or say to help his wife. About 2 years later her mother was pregnant again and Cassidy was born. The family was happy again for awhile but when Cassidy was 2 they found out that she had a fatal form of Leukemia. This time Shelby’s mother dove into a depression, and a few months later she killed herself. Their father went mad with grief and abused Shelby verbally, physically, and sexually. She was 9 at the time. The abuse went on for 5 more years, and Shelby’s personality turned from sweet little girl to seemingly cold and heartless. But Shelby started learning how to deflect the abuse, keep herself out of the house when her father was home, or busy herself taking care of Cassidy. She knew Cassidy was safe because all her father wanted to do was help her. He worked 2 jobs and long hours to pay for her medical bills, but Cassidy started taking a turn for the worse. Her father arranged for Shelby’s kidnapping in exchange for some money for Cassidy’s medical expenses. So, in the middle of the night 2 men came to the house paid of her father and stormed her room. They bound and gagged her and threw her into a van. Shelby was unsure of what was happening but she knew the rumors. Girls being sold to men in high status for reproduction purposes. She readied herself for what she’d see when the van doors opened again.
