### History

Shay (born Shayna Shift) had a very rough upbringing. Despite being born in royalty, and therefore having access to everything he ever wanted, he always felt like there was something off in his life. Being born a girl, he was always shoved into the prettiest of dresses, given only the most beautiful of dolls to play with, and was bred into being the next Queen of the shapeshifters.

It wasn't until he became good friends with a young golem named Gola Clay that he learned of a world much bigger than the one he was born into. As they grew up together, both began questioning different things about themselves. Shay questioned whether or not he felt comfortable as a girl, and the first time he ever changed his body to be more masculine, he knew that was what was wrong his entire life.

The biggest difference between his family and Gola's, however, was that Shay knew coming out to his parents would send his entire world to the grave. He mustered up the strength and went forward with it anyways, knowing it's much better to be hated for who you are than to pretend to be someone else.

After coming out as trans, Shay's parents quickly disowned him, but he didn't care anymore at that point. Gola's family, who were much more accepting, invited the young shapeshifter into their home, where he lived happily until the two of them decided to transfer to Monster High, where they founded the school's first GSA! Through that club, they met their soon to be closest friends Unis Taur, Sandra Manfred, and Fauna Satyrian and as the club wasn't expanding much more at the time, they disbanded and simply became a group of friends commonly referred to around the school as the "Gay Squad".

## Relationships

### Family

As stated above, Shay's family situation is a little complicated. Not that he minds much though, as he views his close friends as his new family.

That said, he maintains a close relationship with his sister, Shelia Shift.

### Friends

#### The "Gay Squad"

Gola Clay

Fauna Satyrian

* Probably Shay's closest friend other than Gola.
