appearance. shelby is a tan-skinned woman with dark brown eyes and dark brown shoulder length hair. she often powders herself with an excess of makeup and does her eyebrows much too thin.
accessories and scars. shelby wears a silver necklace with a flower on it that she received from her mother at an early age. she wears it as a reminder of her, who made her the woman she is today. the only scar she has is a small one on her left wrist from a reluctant patient.

personality. shelby is rather opinionated, and often acts high and mighty over other workers despite her status. she is fearless and is usually the one that punishes any troublesome patient. this, however, causes her to be very disliked throughout the community. she has almost no worries about the repopulation project - in fact, she even promotes it to the patients so they know their purpose. she is a strict and rigorous worker, preferring to work alone. she shares seldom with the other head of documents. she depends on herself if she wants to survive in the cruel world, and will bluntly snap back at anyone if they try to tell her how to run her life. she is stubborn and tends to say hurtful things without thinking. despite her hotheadedness, she is intelligent and can work out problematic matters very quickly.
other.
- bisexual
- skilled with any type of gun
- main trainer of patients later in plot

powers.
force field generation. shelby can create a force field at any length that lasts for up to ten minutes, and if she puts enough effort, she can make it invisible as well. the force fields look red if you're on the inside. anyone who walks through it will be stopped as if they walked into a wall, but when she makes her force fields invisible, anyone who walks into it can burn whatever part of their body that touched it.
pyrokinesis. she can control and create large areas of fire. the bigger the fire she creates, the redder it becomes. something that goes along with her negative power is that she can also heal her wounds with flames. however, in order to use her fire, she needs oxygen, and it is harder to create flames when she is in a colder environment.
healing. she can cure any wounds or broken bones, but there are many limitations that cause her to rarely use it. whenever she heals, whether it is herself or others, there is an immense amount of pain in the part of the body that she is healing. if she is healing another person, their wound or broken bone may transfer to her body. small wounds, she can heal instantly, but bigger ones take more concentration and are usually not permanent.
illnesses. alcoholism, anxiety

past. shelby huff has no memory of her past, up to the point when she began working at the sanctuary and moved into the apartment next to the president himself. she lived with a so called "sister", even though they looked nothing alike, and as a teen she tried to dig up any recollections of her past, but had no luck. she had no legal guardian except the "sister" that was rarely every home. this gave shelby lots of free time to learn how to fight and protect herself during the rough times and becoming popular repopulation project. she researched the project and found out there was something called a sanctuary very close to her home, and also learned of the president's location. she went and threatened him to tell her everything he knew, or she would shoot him in the head. the president was a coward, and agreed to spill the secrets. it turned out that shelby herself was a test tube baby, and they had erased her memory so she wouldn't know about it. she also learned that she had powers of her own. she played it cool, and the president allowed her to become head of documents so she could help the repopulation project move forward with the production of more and more eggs. but she has ulterior motives - revenge on the sanctuary for stripping her of her memory and treating her as if she was invisible when she was, in fact, of a very important role to the sanctuary. when another head of documents was admitted, shelby was bent on brainwashing her into helping her with her master plan. since she has access to the entirety of documents in the sanctuary, she learned that an unknown force had been accidentally created by the scientists, and they were having trouble keeping it locked up. so now her plan had expanded. she wanted the new head of documents to subtly inject more powers into the dangerous seven, and regular patients, so she could build an army and live forever, even after the earth died off in the near future. she had her entire life planned out - but a new chief of guards was about to ruin it.
