Shirley Knope

Shirley Knope appears in How to Construct a Siege. She is a mechanical Construct with a glowing green stone in her chest and glowing green eyes. She was created by Melvin Haran to act as a bridge between the source of magic that animates her and Melvin who uses that magic to make himself immortal.
She escaped the room where she was being held when the door to the room fell off during an earthquake. She escaped to the Firebreathing Kittens guildhall and asked for protection from Olive, Beans and Dr. Crud III.
She was amazed by everything she saw and all the people she encountered.
She was persuaded to hide in a portable hole during the siege on the guild hall to get her back. Dr. Crud III, charmed Melvin into also entering the hole where Shirley, realising that her friends would be killed while trying to protect, swallows an Explosive Seed which Nulisag had given her as a way out. She exploded killing herself and Melvin.
A portrait of her hangs in the guild hall under the mantle "Our Fallen Kittens".
