== Appearance ==
Shelly stands at a whopping 5'2, with a slender yet muscular frame from her long hours of work on her family's farm. Her shoulder-length, blonde hair is usually seen cascading in soft waves and curls over her shoulders and down her back. Michelle's skin is borderline tan, and her upper body is dusted with freckles and spots from being in the sun all day. Her skin color often contrasts with her striking green, rounded eyes. Shelly's face is framed with a small, slightly upturned nose and a warm smile that hint at both kindness and mischief. Her overall appearance gives off a blend of nostalgia and lively charm.
Since becoming a member of the Fashion Club, the star of Michelle's outfit is her new black leather jacket. She styles her jacket with the school-required button up, and a gingham patterned top underneath. Sticking with her roots, she pairs everything with her brown leather boots, hat, and belt. Shelly proudly wears a rose-embossed belt buckle that she won as a prize for a floriculture competition during her time in FFA.
== Characteristics ==
Michelle is a true country girl through and through, embodying the warmth and hospitality that the plains are known for. Her kindness is genuine, and she often goes out of her way to help her friends and peers. Yet, beneath her sweet exterior, she had a sharp wit and a snarky demeanor. Her comments can sometimes be blunt and to the point, delivered with a mischievous glint in her eye that makes it hard to take offense. If something bothers her, she won't bother to speak up for herself and call someone out. Shelly values honesty and isn't afraid to speak her mind, even if it ruffles a few feathers. She also has a way with her words and may be seen manipulating others into doing tasks for her or backing her up. Although it rarely seems so, Shelly is quite insecure about herself and her relationships, and will sometimes break character and start crying about her problems.
