Shelly is an awkward, yet sociable toon. They struggle a ton to put effort into things, getting overwhelmed easily, shutting down quickly, and relying heavily on the people around them to do simple tasks. She loves hanging out with their friends, and appreciates all the help she gets from them, yet never seems to return the favor, never learning how to stand on their own, nor that life won’t mold itself to wishes. It’s hard to learn when people won’t let you. She never really develops independence because of it.
Gifted the ability to transform by Brusha, she uses her magical form to appeal to the toons around her,, It gives her a boost in confidence and independence! On the outside, anyway… you can change your looks, but you can’t change the person inside, not if you don’t try.
She often lets her emotions get the better of her, breaking down at small things and being unable to cope with things not working out the way she wishes,, often taking that frustration out physically, on herself and others.. only made worse the moment her magical form is out.
after having to be relocated to Tisha’s home, she tried to focus on the massive crush she had on Astro to pass the time, her life being such a mess at the time. The longer she was with him though, the more she picked up that he wasn’t really interested in her that way.. so in a desperate attempt to recapture his attention, she pulled a stunt with her magical form, only to scare him off with how inauthentic she was acting. She couldn’t accept his rejection, her frustration blacking out his kind words of willing to try things again in the future.. going home and breaking down.. letting her anger get the best of her, leaving others to clean up the aftermath of her selfish desires.

RELATIONSHIPS
Tisha
Shelly constantly clings to Tisha’s side, constantly relying on her to save her in every situation, oblivious to the toll it takes on her friend. Only when it’s too late does she panic about being a terrible friend to her.
Brusha
Shelly finds Brusha fascinating, her work and view on life and magical form so unique.. she aspires to be like Brusha, or the idea of her, atleast. Never really being close enough to form a genuine connection with her, leaving to a lack of attention given to her.
Sprout
She’s very appreciative of all he’s done for her, giving kind words of encouragement when she can, though she sort of sits around as he struggles, not ever really stepping in to help him back when he needs it. The last she recalls is him being really, really terrified of her because of her magical form, causing her to relocate.
Cosmo
Shelly gets along quite well with Cosmo, the two feeling like peas in a pod when they hang out. Of course, they don’t always meet eye to eye, but that’s what friendships are for, right? Shelly struggles to keep herself composed, sometimes, leading to tension between the both of them.
Astro
Shelly has a comically large crush on the fluffy toon, wishing to be the star to his moon. She dreams about the future the both of them could have, being very clingy and affectionate towards him. She fears he won’t like who she thought, the idea of changing who she is for him is so tempting
