Honeybee Shaw

**Honeybee Shaw** (and later **Honeybee Shaw-Tobin**) is a main character of The Great North and the wife of Wolf Tobin.

## Background

Honeybee is originally from Fresno, California. She met Wolf online and moved up to Alaska. As of the start of the series, she's been staying with the Tobin's for a few months. Honeybee has an associates degree from her community college in Fresno.

In Fresno, her neighbor's name was Denise.

Honeybee shares in Blood Actually Adventure that on her twelfth birthday a magician hypnotized her and now whenever she hears the word "Camelback" she falls asleep.

## Appearance

Honeybee is a young black woman with an afro, a pink flower in her hair, and wide hips. She wears a pink vest over a lavender long-sleeved shirt, dark magenta pants, gold hoops, magenta lipstick, and gray fur boots. At night, she normally wears a bonnet.

## Personality

Honeybee is a caring, enthusiastic woman with a love of movies and an entrepreneurial spirit. In spite of her being an incredibly recent addition to the Tobin household, she already seems to fit naturally into their eccentric family's dynamic.

She's notably excitable, albeit more level-headed than Judy. She also tends to be a bit of a chatterbox, rambling about her thoughts and ideas at any given moment.

She loves big romantic gestures, as established in Avocado Barter Adventure when Wolf spent the day following a long and complicated barter chain to get her avocados for their six-month anniversary.

She loves her family back in Fresno, but felt limited by her parents wishes for her career. She and her close friend, Calvin Prescott (The Linoleum Prince of Fresno), were raised with the expectation they'd be married; likely to facilitate more productive relations between their family businesses. His resignment to this plan and resulting proposal was what pushed to her move in with the Tobin's.

Her brother Jerry has been shown to look up to her greatly and follow in her footsteps, often to his own detriment. They have a close relationship.

She doesn't enjoy math, confessing to Moon that she lied about needing her tonsils and appendix out multiple times to avoid having to take Algebra and Precalculus respectively.

## Relationships

Wolf Tobin (husband)

Honeybee and Wolf share a loving relationship and do almost everything together. They both enjoy movies, have a weird taste in food, and have larger than life personalities. However, Honeybee often gets annoyed when Wolf acts irrationally or uses slang in the wrong way.

Judy Tobin (sister in-law)

Judy and Honeybee don’t often interact, but they get along really well and Honeybee is somewhat of a mother figure to Judy. In Sister Pact Too Adventure, they attend an all women’s festival and Honeybee is extremely protective of Judy.

Brian Tobin

When Honeybee first meets Brian and hears he’s a salesman, she and Wolf try to impress Brian by pitching some of their inventions to him that he would invest. Though Brian rejects being their investor, he does happily compliment Wolf and Honeybee’s creativity and in an indirect way accepts Honeybee. Though they have only recently met, Brian and Honeybee get along really well and Brian sees Honeybee as part of the family, as he told her the truth about the sausage pageant incident and trusted her not to tell Beef that he was in town secretly coaching Ham for the pageant.
