Personal history
Born Michelle January Haden to parents she'd rather forget, Shelly grew up with a bit of a silver spoon in her mouth. After years of prep schools and socialite plans for her rise to the top, according to her parents, the need to rebel became too strong. It started with music, then clothing, then fighting, then vandalism, then light arson. Finally, she was kicked out of school.
Public school served her well enough and her parents largely ceased trying at all. She formed a band with friends her senior year, Full Frontal Murder took the underground music scene of Tampa by storm. She was riding high on just enough fame to get word out but not too much that you become a shill when she met a 'reporter' from a local music scene.
Ray, Shelly's sire chose her for her tenacity and attitude, putting more thought into the shovelhead choice than most sires.
Shelly got along well enough with her little family, but it fell apart fast, too fast for her liking. The only member left is her friend and shovelhead sister, Rachel. Both strongly stubborn and independant, but close enough being the last two left.
Shelly was lucky enough to meet Fancesca ‘Frankie’ Theroine, who agreed to teach her punk rock magic. In doing so the two hit it off, eventually dating and now are married.
