## Biography

### High School

Shelby was always an extra in the Meggy Show starting from the middle school seasons, but she was upped to main recurring character senior year of high school when she became closer with Meg. They would often hang out with Meg driving Shelby around since Shelb does not have a car.

Shelb and Sonali also were seen on screen together as they were officers of the same club. Sonali did not talk to Shelb often as Shelb can be intimidating and Sonali is extremely shy/anxiety ridden.

Shelby has always been a bright student, with Sonali mentioning several times how they had 10th grade English class together and loved her presentation about education around the world, voting it as the best presentation in the class.

Meg and Shelb have a deep bond and always seem to truly understand one another.

### College

Shortly after being upped to main recurring character, Shelby was found to be a fan favorite and was upped to series regular (side character as only main is meg).

While Meg and Shelb may have went to different colleges, this did not stop them from talking all the time and hanging out.

### Hot Girl Summer

Shelb was one of Meg's only friends that participated in hot girl summer with Meg. They often spoke about their adventures and would match with similar people.

It was a mild success for Shelb as she ended up with a straggler that she really liked, Joey M..

Thus, hot girl summer ended with both Shelb and Meg dating Joeys.

## Personality

Shelb is quick witted, funny, smart and very caring. She is a sweetie pie with a heart of gold. Everyone loves Shelb, as they should!

## Family

Not much is known about Shelby's family since she is a side character, but her family dynamic seems to be strained based on little comments she makes.

## Criticism

At first, critics thought that Shelb was just Meg 2.0 and thought the character was a weird imitation that producers decided to make for some reason. But as Shelb was given more screen time and plot lines, Critics really started to love the character and the chaos she brings to the show, complimenting the chaos of Meg extremely well.

## Relationships

### Meggy

Even as a recently promoted series regular, Shelby and Meg have a deep connection. Meg is able to tell Shelby everything and anything about their life. Viewers often point out how Meg used to glance at Shelby during their middle school years as potential for an angsty romantic relationship, but believe that producers are too scared to actually go through with it. These two have a strong bond and often hang out with Meg driving Shelby around just talking for hours. Meg often goes to Shelby for advice as well as she always tells Meg the truth in order to help them.

### Joey M.

A Clash of Clans man who is dating Shelb <3.

### Sonali R.

Sonali and Shelb are besties. Sonali is a little scared of Shelb, only because she loves Shelb so much though (of course). They were officers in the same club in high school and thus share trauma from the extended duration of the club (#traumabondedbesties !). Viewers responded well to the trauma bonded plot and got the previously stated hashtag trending on Twitter for a straight week.
