Shel

*"I've seen too much, and now I must live with the consequences."*

## Background

Shel came into existence while Prime was testing out one of Slimey's elixirs after the events of The World With No Name. It was after this point that Prime stopped preforming mitosis, as a result of her getting better at suppressing her emotions.

Shel spends most of her time in her underground lab testing and studying whatever she get her hands on. She almost never comes out of the lab because of her intense paranoia. This subsequently makes her prone to making the wildest theories but a lot of them end up holding at least a grain of truth.

During the Watcher ARG, Shel made frequent communications with Vesta through the visions that Shel would see and the two of them quickly became close friends. This close bond would lead Shel to throw the Divine Egg, and then shortly after herself into The Gate because of the delirious state she was in. She even went as far as building Vesta's new form Clementine a room in the Clubhouse, where she still frequently talks to her.

## Appearance

Shel has a purple tinted lab coat, with a white collared shirt underneath it. She also wears pajama pants adorned with grayish stars, and a pair of similarly colored slippers. Shel describes this look as "Science on top, Nap time on bottom". She also has a pair of round golden glasses, and her eyes are two different colors. Her leaf is short much like Uno's only it has two bigger leaves that curve upwards.

After the events of The Bettercaul Sublab, Shel had a complete mental breakdown because of everything she had just witnessed. In this state, she created a druglike meteorite infused substance, which she injected into her right arm in a desperate attempt to make herself feel better. Because of this, a small patch of Shel's right arm is now slightly infected.

## Personality

Shel is the smartass of The Grapes, with her being the most intelligent out of the five of them. She always seems to be 8 steps ahead of everyone else due to her extreme paranoia. She's absolutely unhinged because of how much she isolates herself from the rest of society.

## Abilities

A grape's fundamental biology is a weird mix between physical and magical properties because of how Prime was brought to life. They have liquid chlorophyll blood (which is a dark purple color), most of their body is made up of plant cells, and their bones seem to be a wood-like material. They do not have brains but the leaves on the back of their heads serve the same purpose as one. Their skull is akin to a coconut, it has some grape juice inside of it, and the grape's essence. All grapes can regenerate by using photosynthesis, which allows them to not eat if they so pleased as long as they are in direct sunlight.

When a Grape takes too much damage physically, they will collapse into a pile of goo, and will either take a few hours to naturally revive or just skip the process entirely by talking to The Moon Rabbit.

## Essence of Paranoia

Shel is in the possession of the Essence of Paranoia, which makes her extreme overthinking to become regular strokes of genius that end up actually helping people. Though it is hard to distinguish was is an insane theoretical rabbit-hole, and what is actually useful.

## Trivia

* The main reason why Shel leaves her lab now is to talk to Clementine.
* God she really needs a fucking therapist
* Shel has a eerie resemblance to Olivia. Whether or not the Ikoss Elixir contributed to this is unknown.
