Shae

**Shaelin Garamond,** more commonly known and referred to as **Shae**, is the protagonist of the eponymously named SHAETALE AU. She was the 8th human to fall into the underground, after having run away from home due to Karen's unwittingly neglectful nature, and now has a family of skeletons. She also is responsible for the monsters being freed from the underground. She is the younger adoptive sister of Sans and Papyrus, the adoptive daughter of Gaster and Ariel, and the daughter of Daniel and Karen.

She lives at the skelefam house and is currently dating Wyatt.

## Appearance

Standing at 5'3, Shae is a short human woman with long brown hair with bangs, peach skin, and green eyes.

Shae is typically seen wearing a New Orleans yellow cardigan, a white shirt, light gray pants that comes up to her solar plexus, quincy brown sneakers, and her signature white headband. She also wears a pair of circular goldish glasses.

## Personality

Shae is a bold, sassy young woman. She often playfully bickers with her family and sometimes can be rebellious. She is also seen to be quite playful, as she often joins Papyrus in his chaos and shenanigans, and also likes to cause her own chaos too.

## History

### Pre-SHAETALE

Shae was born to married couple Karen and Daniel. After their divorce, Shae ultimately stayed with Karen, while Daniel moved into an apartment too small for 2 people, though she sometimes visited. Over time, Shae became more and more upset at Karen being buried in her work, to the point she ran away from home.

### Debut

Shae briefly is awake before falling asleep on Papyrus's back, who had offered a piggy-back ride just prior. She had just broken the BARRIER, and felt tired.

## Abilities

Shae possesses all standard human abilities, including poofing, shapeshifting, bubbling, and summoning a weapon.

### Human Abilities

**Determination:** Being a human, along with having the SOUL trait DETERMINATION, Shae has a significant amount of DT, having much more than the average human. Her DT makes her attacks much stronger.

**Self-Bubble:** As a universal trait, Shae can summon a durable bubble around herself. However, hers has the ability to electrocute anyone who touches it. She normally summons the bubble as a self-defense mechanism or out of fear.

## Relationships

### Karen

Karen is Shae's mother. Their relationship was lacking and strained, as Karen was often too busy to properly bond with her. Karen, however, did never realize this until Shae ran away. In her debut, she is shown to have genuine remorse, and finds Shae, apologizing to her, understanding if Shae wanted nothing to do with her. Shae happily forgives her, and ever since, the two begin working on properly bonding and being much more positive.

### Daniel

Daniel is Shae's father. While the two were closer than Karen and Shae were, their relationship was also somewhat lacking, as Daniel lived in a small apartment, and can be somewhat absent sometimes due to his work and his somewhat distant home. However, despite this, Daniel loves her and will do anything to keep her safe. In his debut, it's revealed he lives much closer and now owns a more roomy home, allowing he and Shae to bond better, the two now having a positive relationship.

### Papyrus

Papyrus is Shae's adoptive older brother. The two get along really well and often do shenanigans together, often bickering and being silly about it. Sometimes they enjoy each others' puns.

### Sans

Sans is Shae's oldest adoptive brother. The two also get along well, and often share jokes. Despite having a good relationship, the two can sometimes clash on when it comes to deciding on redemption.

### Chara

Chara is a narrator for Shae, and acts as a guide. Before the events of SHAETALE, Chara was very weary of her due to her being human, but over time, as Shae became more acquainted with them, Chara began to warm up to her. Shae cares deeply for Chara, often feeling sympathy for them because of their past. The two get along well and find each other's company nice.

## Trivia

* Shae and Chara are the only two known humans to have the DETERMINATION SOUL trait so far.
* Shae's favorite food is lemons, and anything with citrus in it, especially lemon-peppered grilled chicken.
