Will Shane

At the age of 13, Will Shane was often very vocal and annoying to her peers, so much so, that he would often be chased around his middle school halls. On one afternoon, while he was being chased, he ran into Sophia Greatwall, a "popular girl" in her school. The two made an almost instant connection, falling in love at first sight. Sophia was the first and only person on the surface he ever told about Slugterra.

When she was 14, his uncle Jimmo allowed him to come down to Slugterra without his supervision. On her first year down, he entered the Winnowing, and became the Unbeatable Master's student, starting her decades long rivalry with Thaddius Blakk, who was 27 around that time. In Will's first few months, he and Shanai's other student, Mei, started to bond.

She soon met Tom Por, and the two bonded fairly quickly.

Over the years, Will and Tom's relationship deteriorated and broke, leading to their final duel.

When she was 40, Will and Thaddius Blakk had their duel, ultimately leading to Will Shane's disappearance.

### Personality

Will Shane is a caring, responsible father\* and a hero. Will Shane found trouble with balancing his love for slugterra, and his love for his home on the surface. He began to neglect his duties on earth, including caring for his children.

Will has a very depressing interior. He is constantly battling with inner demons about choices he’s made and the deaths he caused or could’ve prevented. He often takes competitive dueling as a form of escapism. It most often just makes him feel worse, but he's unsure of how to manage his sadness of dueling, without defeating villains *by* dueling.

He is secretive from where he comes from, as to protect the balance between Slugterra as well to protect his son who is to be the next Shane. Even though Eli is his son, Eli states that his father still remained secretive even to him, which frustrated him. This plays a part with his own feelings, he often ignores his own trauma in the sake of protecting others, which can also come off as secretive.

As a young man, Will was much like Eli. Very reckless and searching for trouble. The main difference between them both, is that Will was a violent teen. He often picked fights with people twice his size, just to see if he could win. Training under the unbeatable master forced him to learn responsibility more than working under his uncle.
