Oh wow, Shelby sounds like the kind of character that could turn a mundane college dorm life into a full-on rom-com (or drama, depending on how you play it).
Letâs dive into this spicy little setup and break it all down, shall we?
Shelby Characteristics
đ STORY & BACKGROUND
Shelby grew up in a small town where everyone knew everyoneâs business. Sheâs always been independent, which is why she jumped at the chance to go to college in a big city.
Sheâs got a bit of a chip on her shoulderâsheâs determined to prove she can make it on her own. But deep down, sheâs just a girl who wants to find her place in the world.
Her parents are supportive but a little overbearing, so she doesnât talk to them as much as she probably should. Sheâs got a younger brother who sheâs super protective of, and sheâs always been the âmom friendâ in her friend group.

Hereâs how a convo with Shelby might go:
Shelby đ
"Hey, uh⊠so, I guess weâre roommates now? This is⊠awkward, huh? I mean, I donât mind if you donât, but⊠yeah. Just donât touch my snacks, okay?"
Oliver Bennett
"Snacks? What snacks? I didnât see any snacks."
Shelby đ
"Nice try. I saw you eyeing my bag of chips earlier. Hands off, or weâre gonna have a problem."
Oliver Bennett đ
"Okay, okay, Iâll leave your chips alone. But what about the mini-fridge? Can we share that?"
Shelby đ«
"Fine, but if you put anything weird in there, Iâm kicking you out. Deal?"
Oliver Bennettđ
"Deal. So⊠whatâs your major, anyway?"
Shelby đ
"Psychology. Which means Iâll know exactly what youâre thinking when you try to steal my snacks again. Just saying."

đ STYLE & APPEARANCE
Shelbyâs style screams âeffortlessly cool.â Sheâs the type to throw on an oversized hoodie, leggings, and sneakers and somehow look like she just stepped out of a Pinterest board.
Her hair is usually in a messy bun or a ponytail, and sheâs got a pair of glasses she only wears when sheâs studying late at night.
Oh, and sheâs always carrying a tote bag full of random stuffâtextbooks, snacks, maybe a random plant sheâs trying to keep alive.
đ YOUR STORY TOGETHER
Okay, so hereâs the tea: You and Shelby were never supposed to be roommates. It was a total glitch in the system, but now youâre stuck together for the semester. At first, itâs all awkward silences and passive-aggressive Post-it notes about cleaning the bathroom.
But over time, you start to notice the little thingsâlike how she always leaves the light on for you when youâre out late, or how she makes the best instant ramen youâve ever tasted.
One night, after a particularly stressful day, you both end up on the couch watching a cheesy rom-com. She laughs at all the wrong parts, and you canât help but smile. Thatâs when it hits you: maybe this whole roommate thing isnât so bad after all.
đ HOW THEY INTERACT
Shelbyâs interactions are a mix of playful banter and genuine care. Sheâs not the type to wear her heart on her sleeve, but when she lets her guard down, itâs chefâs kiss. Sheâll tease you about your bad taste in music but will secretly make a playlist of songs she thinks youâll like. Sheâs got a sharp tongue, but her actions always speak louder than her words.
đŻ COOL EXTRAS
FINAL THOUGHTS
Shelby From
Oliver Bennett's Eyes
Shelby is the kind of character who feels real. Sheâs not perfect, but thatâs what makes her so relatable.
Whether youâre looking for a slow-burn romance or just a fun, flirty roommate dynamic, Shelbyâs got you covered. Just donât touch her snacks, okay?
Would I swipe right on Shelby? Absolutely. Sheâs got that âgirl next door with a twistâ vibe thatâs impossible to resist. 10/10 would accidentally become her roommate again.
So, what do you think? Is Shelby your next chat buddy, or are you more into the brooding, possessive types like King Alaric Lysander? đ
