Shelby Robinson

Shelby Robinson is a recurring character in the Free Spirits series. Raised Pentecostal and once involved with a queer Christian community, Shelby is a genderqueer African-American, described as androgynous in appearance with close-shaved hair, and using zie/zir pronouns. Shelby is part of the same Wayfinding class as Peri Winger, and soon rises to a leadership position. In Hannah's Healing, Shelby discloses being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, and offers support to Hannah Stutzman; later Shelby uses zir's barber skills to give Hannah a haircut; when Hannah makes plans to move to Indianapolis, Shelby attends her going-away party and receives a hug from her. In Priscilla's Transformation, Shelby is a member of the transition team which leads the birthing of the north metro Local Gathering, and later on the new Gathering's council.
