APPEARANCE
Shannon is gifted with an attractive physique. She has blue eyes and blonde hair which reaches just below her shoulders. She is well tanned, thin and does her best to look good. Shannons preppy appearance is what describes her character.
PERSONALITY
Although she may look good, Shannons personality can sometimes show you how opposite she is on the inside. She has a short temper, and tends to use others in order to get what she wants. Despite being a young adult she can sometimes be quite immature. Though deep down she does have the ability to show effection for others.
Despite being stuck up and reletively snobby, Shannon is always trying to prove to people (mainly her brother, Boone) that she is capable. She tends to give up easily, however, but with a little motivation and support she can do just about anything she puts her mind to.
BACKSTORY
Shannons father passed away in a fatal car accident when she was eighteen years old. After the sudden incident, Shannon found out that her father had not yet planned a will, and therefor her step-mother, Sabrina, had denied her any money and abandoned her alone to look after herself. When she turned to her step-brother Boone for support, she was told he was leaving for New-Yor, and could only offer some money to help her out. Angry with him, Shannon refused, insisting that instead (despite Boone's doubts) she would make it on her own.
Over the years Shannon continueingly conned Boone into giving her money she felt she deserved. She manipulating him over and over, taking advantage of the fact that her step-brother was deep-down in love with her. Shannons most recent con was faking an abusive relationship with Bryan, a man she had met and fallen in love with in Australia.
Her brother Boone offered Bryan money in agreement that he was to leave his sister alone. Unfortunately he discovered Shannon had been lieing, and not too long afterwards Bryan had taken off with the money she had conned her brother out of. Desperate and humiliated, Shannon returned to Boone and told him she knew how he felt about her. She seduced him and slept with him, thinking it swas the only way she could possibly make up for what she had done.
The next morning they agreed that things would go back to the way they were between them, and to put the past behind them. On that day, Shannon and her step-brother Boone crashed on an island alongside of over 40 other survivors.
Recently, ever since Boone began hunting with Locke, he began ignoring her. Even after his near fatal accident they had barely spoke. She now spends most of her time with Sayid, a former republican gaurd. After she was shot, Shannon has slowly begun to take on a new view of life, and is doing her best to better herself. Old habits never die... however.
WRITING SAMPLE
It was raining heavily. Shannon was in the middle of a small feild within the jungle, staring at Sayid as he confessed his love for her. Suddenly, over the sound of heavy rain fall... she heard voices. They were whispering, and who-ever they were, they seemed to be coming from all around her
She looked around in a slight panic, and there she saw Walt. He stood only a few feet away at the treeline. She quickly glanced at Sayid, silently praying to God that he was seeing the same thing she was. If not, than she was crazy.
"Do you see him?" she asked forcefully, and Sayid nodded his head.
She looked back at Walt. The boy but his fingur to his lips and simply said "Shhhhh," before taking off back into the forest.
"WALT!" Shannon screamed, rising to her feet (she had recently fallen). Desperate to catch him, she ran as fast as she could, ignoring Sayid as he called for her to come back.
Suddenly, there was a loud BANG, followed by an unbearable amount of pain in her shoulder. She staggered and collapsed. She couldn't think, and could barely focus on what was going on around her. All she could be aware of was the intense, burning pain in her shouler. She saw Sayid nealing over her and without being aware of what had happened she uttered the word "Walt...," before passing out in a mixture of fear, pain and shock.
