Shelby McPheerson

**Shelby Elise McPheerson** is one of the main characters in the Wiki Channel original series Destiny Calls. She is portrayed by Eleanor Nesbitt.

## Personality

### Season 1

Shelby is a tomboyish girl who sees something suspicious in Destiny and in the way she acts when people question alien life. She's tried to get Destiny to tell her everything, but she can't. Unlike Destiny, Shelby takes life very seriously, and doesn't party around. When Destiny tried to convince Shelby to try out for the cheer leading team with her so they could be "cheer twins", Shelby said she'd rather be on the field playing than screaming out for the team to win, when she could just help them win. She thinks that the whole Lyn family is weird. She thinks Destiny is kind of crazy, because she believes in everything. Although Shelby has a girly side too, she almost never shows it. Destiny keeps trying to convince her too, though, but she says it'll be better if she doesn't, because their friendship has a lot to do with them being different. She is very obsessive and would "make a great detective", Destiny says.
