Shanna

## Personality

She is very self-confident having grown up in one of the top 10 levels, who's parents were designers, she was assured of her place in the hive and had no doubts that she would also end up as one of the Elites.

### Early Years

Shanna was extremely confident and during their first meet and greet for all new teens in their group she came right up to Amber and befriended her. Forge's parents were the highest level of the boys so Shanna immediately gathered him into her circle and became his girlfriend.

## Summary

### Perilous

It was obvious that Shanna grew up on a higher level, probably in the elite top 10 as her parents were decorators and always seem to know what the elite were doing.

Even though Shanna was self absorbed she actually did a lot to help Amber during the teen years, by ensuring that she became involved in activities with the other teens.

During the Power crisis, Shanna wasn't the most helpful until they got to the park and there she was instrumental in keeping the other teens active and distracted by acting as a DJ and/or Emcee. She had included her Carnival dress and Carnival music in her emergency pack that she took with her and once she put them on and hooked her music up to the park's sound system she got the other teens up dancing and active.

### Telepath

During Telepath she only appears near the end of the book, but earlier Amber discovers in Forge's mind at one of the lower levels, that he had gone to see her and it ended disastrously. Shanna started mocking Forge immediately when she answered her door, because as far she knew he was a level 20 Law enforcement or a Hasty. He was very sure that if she would have let him explain first that he was really a Level 1 that her reaction would have been very different, but he left without telling her anything about his current job.

Toward the end of the book when Amber learned that Elden was going after her brother in revenge she had her family and Shanna taken to her unit to protect them just in case, so when they all returned to the Hive Shanna and Amber's family were waiting for them and she was making a big fuss about being a level 9 media presenter who shouldn't be treated that way.

### Adversary

Shanna calls Forge just before the relationship steps of the Circle of Life Services on New Year day. The call didn't go the way Shanna had expected, especially when Forge told her that he was about to walk the steps with a new girl and she believed that he was making it up. Until Buzz took Forge's dataview and responded with

then Buzz disconnected the call.
