Lady Shella Character Sheet

Thank you.



This is an attempt to capture for reference a character paper snapshot of the character Shella, a supporting character in the Multiverser novels who debuts in Verse Three, Chapter One and returns in For Better or Verse, again in Spy Verses, Garden of Versers and Versers Versus Versers.  This character sheet includes everything that is confirmed about her, plus a few extrapolations, in those books, and thus represents her as she is in the final chapter of that sixth novel.

The picture was dug up on the Internet as an approximate image of her; it's not accurate but suffices.

It is a bit surprising how little information actually exists about her, and most of it is personal.  The attributes here are from the author's view of her.  Although the author has a clear picture in his own mind concerning her appearance, she is not described in the books beyond being a heartbreaker, and it is likely that the reader has formed his or her own image of the character.

To assist the referee, some entries include at least one coded reference to a chapter or chapters in which the item is mentioned; thus by cross-referencing with the story you can determine the details.  The chapters are identified by which character's story is being told, and thus most of those here begin with "Sl" for Slade; this is followed by a three-digit number indicating the chapter number for that character, not the chapter number for the book.  Thus if you want to find the first reference to her name, you read here that it appears in Sl009, and on the index page for the novel you search for the text "Slade 9" and that will take you to the link for that chapter.  Obviously the chapters beginning "Ko" are Joe's story, and thus "Kondor", and those beginning "Ha" are Lauren's story, "Hastings", those beginning "Br" are Derek's, "Brown", those beginning "Be" are James', "Beam", and those beginning "Ta" are the new character Tomiko Takano.  The first novel ends with Kondor 41, Slade 42, and Hastings 43.  She is not mentioned at all in the second novel, the third novel consists of Hastings 96 through 136, Slade 43 through 92, and Brown 56 through 96, the fourth of Kondor 97 through 136, Brown 97 through 160, and Slade 93 through 135, the fifth Kondor 137 through 154, Hastings 137 through 172, Slade 136 through 154, Brown 161 through 178, and Beam 1 through 41, and the sixth Kondor 155 through 171, Hastings 173 through 184, Slade 155 through 167, Brown 179 through 195, Beam 42 through 54, and Takano 1 through 12.

Born the fourth year of Slade’s time in the Djinni Quest world Sl009 and was always a beautiful girl from the day of her birth.  Stayed at Slade’s castle the year after Mica’s vesting, at twenty years old Sl015 Sl016.  She attended Omigger’s funeral the year she turned twenty-one and stayed at Slade’s castle again that summer.  She then took an interest in Omigger’s magic books, and started reading the primer Sl017.  At twenty-two she is settled at Slade Manor and busily studying magic Sl019, and she surpassed him by the time she was twenty-three Sl020.  His verser existence was explained to her, and she threw him a kiss as he versed out.

She is cousin to Filp, not niece Sl070. Told her father Torelle before she left that she would be marrying Slade Sl070. Merlin is her “Uncle” Omigger Br092, technically a cousin Sl089.
