Bio: Shannon was born sometime in 1984. As a young child, her mother died. When she was eight, her father Adam married Sabrina Carlyle, inheriting a step-mother and 10-year-old step-brother, Boone. At sometime in her life, Shannon was married, but divorced him. When she was eighteen, Shannon's father was killed in a car accident (Jack had the choice to save him or his future wife/ex-wife, Sarah and choose Sarah, condemning Adam to death). That year, she was also chosen for the internship at Martha Graham Dance Studio in New York. However, Sabrina cut her off entirely, giving her no money from her father's will or anything. Desperate, Shannon began to date guys, convince them to help her, and they would con Boone into giving her money, which he believed was paying the boyfriend to leave. Her last attempt, however, ended badly: Bryan, the boyfriend, ratted her out to Boone and stole the money. The evening before the crash, Shannon went to Boone's hotel, told him Bryan took the money, and revealed something quite shocking to the audience: Boone was in love with her. Taking advantage of this, Shannon seduced Boone and slept with him, thus gaining a manipulative edge over her step-brother. The next day, they boarded the fateful flight that landed them on the island.
Roleplay example: AU (Based off an idea that I shall eventually make into a fan fic) - Between episodes 1x12 & 13 - A little on the short side.
Shannon glanced across the camp at her step-brother and that girl. She kept her head low as the sun beat down upon her back, while her face contorted into a look of hatred. This girl, Jenna, had just come out of no where and Boone seemed to be love struck with her. The sheer thought made Shannon sick to her stomach. The two were at the water bin; Boone leaned to Jenna and said something in her ear, causing her to smile at him. Shannon let out a sigh of disgust.
What the hell is wrong with you? A voice asked her haughtily, in her mind. I thought you weren’t in love with him.
I’m not, another replied icily. I just can’t stand to see my step-brother –
Possibly being manipulated by someone who isn’t you? You’re pathetic. This voice sounded rather like Boone when Shannon would fight with him.
What? The second voice, who sounded identical to Shannon, questioned.
You’re harboring some hidden feelings, perhaps ardor, towards Boone. You like him.
Oh whatever! What are you supposed to be, my voice of reason? If so, you’re doing a hell of a bad job.
Just quit denying it, Shannon.
She’s a poser…or using Boone…
And nobody does that but you?
You know, hearing voices is the first sure sign of insanity.
Quit changing the subject. If you really are in love with Boone, then go flirt with that Sayid guy.
Who, the one with the French papers?
Exactly.
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
Oh, you are so in love with Boone.
Fine! I’ll prove it to you.
Shannon stood up from her tanning post, pulled on a skirt and shirt and some shoes, and went towards Sayid, determined to prove the Boone voice wrong.
