;; appearance
general;;
Shannon likes to take care of her appearance; she spends hours topping up her tan and reapplying nail varnish. Some might call Shannon somewhat vain but this is only because she doesn’t know what else to do with herself so therefore uses her time to improve her appearance. Shannon has short neatly cropped blonde hair and bright blue eyes, she doesn’t wear too much makeup sometimes a thin layer of foundation or eyeliner but otherwise she doesn’t deem it necessary, she was blessed with quite good skin so she doesn’t need to worry about spots.
Shannon reaches 5ft 5 and weights 9 stone, she has a very toned body from the training she requires to do for her occupation in Ballet. Shannon likes to follow the latest trends so it’s difficult to say what she will be wearing from month to month. She favors tight fitting clothes that show off her curves and isn’t ashamed to show a bit of flesh here and there.
favorite;; Blonde Locks, Curvy Body, Blue Eyes,
hate;; Strong Jaw line, Nose,
heritage;; American
ethnicity;; Caucasian
;; personality
general;;
Shannon is very self obsessed, she spends too much time thinking about herself, she manipulates people who maybe useful to her and her survival on this earth. Although she may appear confident, arrogant and self absorbed she is very aware of how vulnerable she is. She is terrified of being left alone and wishes she could do things for herself. The problem is Shannon doesn’t have the confidence in herself to step forward and start taking care of herself and what she finds she really needs someone to believe she can do things.
Shannon cares very deeply about what people think about her, which might explain why she spends so much time on her appearance. She wants to be accepted by people and would love to feel like she belongs somewhere. Ever since her father remarried Shannon has felt like the spare part and has never fit in anywhere.
She loves children, which is why her job as a ballet teacher is so rewarding; she loves to watch the proud parents beam at their children as they practice their stances. Shannon often wishes she could be a child again and see her father being proud of her, but that is not to be.
Contrary to popular opinion Shannon is very clever, she’s a quick learner when she sets her mind to things. It’s only lack of confidence in herself and her ability to be anything but a pretty face.

;; origins
general;;
Shannon’s childhood was blissful; she was brought up by her father as her mother died when Shannon was very young, However at the age of eight her father met and remarried a Sabrina Carlyle. She too had a child a boy called Boone who was two years her elder. It wasn’t long before Shannon realized the woman held a resentment towards her because of her closeness to her father. Many an argument occurred in the household as the two women fought for her fathers affections. Shannon couldn’t help but notice her step brother Boones growing attachment towards her. He was extremely protective of her and was forever trying to look out for her. This greatly annoyed Shannon who hated the way he was towards her and felt like he was trying to control her.
Shannon became a ballet teacher teaching young children ballet, it wasn’t an amazingly paid job but she enjoyed the work. Shortly after Shannon’s eighteenth birthday she received a phone call at work, her father had been in an accident. She rushed to the hospital the fear clear on her face; however she arrived too late and was greeted by her step mother and a doctor who explained that her father had died. Shannon was heart broken; she had been close to hr father and relied on him greatly.
Things began to get tough for Shannon, she was running out of money and she needed a lot for a plane ticket to New York where she had won an internship at the Martha Graham Dance Company. She went to her step mother to claim her inheritance assuming her father would have left her a decent sum to survive on. It turned out that her father hadn’t left a will and her stepmother who had always been jealous of Shannon refused to give her the money so she could take the internship.
Heartbroken, alone and without any money Shannon desperately turned to her step brother Boone, hoping against hope he would help her out. Boone could not help her, he had taken up a job at his mothers company and therefore couldn’t give Shannon any money. Angry and alone Shannon left for France with the father of two children who she had been teaching Ballet too. She became the children’s Au Pair and spent her evenings out in Paris drinking and trying to forget the awful things that had happened to her. Shannon had been looking for love for awhile wanting for once to feel like she belonged somewhere, so when the father of the children made advances on her she convinced herself she loved him. They married in a registration office, it was a small affair but Shannon didn’t mind. The marriage only lasted three weeks, Shannon freaked at the thought of becoming a full time mum for the children and she realized she didn’t love the man she had married.
Divorcing him she returned to America where she devised a plan to get some of her father’s money. It originally wasn’t her idea but a man she had been seeing, he owned several boats and suggested a way of getting some money back off her stepmother. They pretended Shannon was being abused and got Boone to send her money so she could escape her abusive boyfriend.
Shannon left her boyfriend and moved to Australia where she repeated the con, however it didn’t go to plan and her boyfriend ran off with the money forcing Shannon to reveal the truth to Boone. Terrified that Boone would have nothing to do with her now he knew what she had been doing she used his feelings for her and seduced him.
The next morning they set off to return to America not before Shannon made it clear her feelings for him where nothing but sisterly.

;; roleplaying
sample;;
Esme heard footsteps approaching the house it didn’t take her long to work out who it was; she would know that quick stride anywhere. Edward had always held a special place in Esme’s heart, she suspected it was because he was her first adoptive child, not only that but she had worried about him for a long time. He had been the lone man for ages, the only one not in a couple and she’d worried about how this might have affected him. She would not deny how happy she was when he first brought Bella to the home and Esme and attached to the human girl straight away hoping that now Edward would have someone to love and care for.
When Bella and Edward gave Esme a beautiful granddaughter she couldn’t have been happier, she felt that their family ties had become stronger with Renesme and she didn’t mind the ‘grandma’ jokes if anything it made her feel even more like she really was a mother like they where really her children.
Esme looked up at Edward when he entered the room, she sensed immediately that there was something bothering him, it was a mother’s job to know when something was upsetting her children and she could sense it a mile away. As Edward took the magazine from her hand Esme knew it was something serious and she couldn’t help but let the fear creep inside of her.
Esme didn’t take her eyes off him as she surveyed him worriedly she knew what he was talking about, the upcoming danger Esme hated to even think about it as the thoughts sent shivers up her spine but she knew the facts had to be faced, they had to think about what they where going to do about the Volturi.
“Okay Edward” she said gently, knowing that he wasn’t going to be talking to her too much about fighting tactics; they all knew Esme wasn’t much of a fighter. She assumed he was going to talk to her about something of a more personal matter and whatever it was it would be difficult to think about. None of them wanted to go through what they had been through the last time all those worries. Wondering which of them would come back alive, Esme had never felt anything like it and she hated to think they would have to go through it all again.
“What was it you wanted to talk about?” she asked, not pushing him but letting him tell her in his own way. She moved the papers across the dining table and drew her chair up closer to the table as she tried to prepare herself for what Edward might say. She knew he was obviously aware of her thoughts about this issue and not just hers but all of theirs, barring Bella of course. She hoped they could come up with an idea that would cause as little a confrontation as possible, but if not she knew back up plans where needed, what to do if the worst should happen. Esme knew they worried about Rensesmes future, with the Volturi around it was obvious that they not only wanted Bella, Edward and Alice but that Rensesme would stir their interests.
