I am the darkness, I'm a monster

She has this lowkey manic energy. She's cheerful and upbeat, but there's something just a little off about the way she interacts with Bendy that makes her fascinating to read.

What really sells it for me is that she doesn't feel like she's breaking boundaries for the sake of being quirky. It feels natural to who she is. Her behavior reveals how she sees the world more than it serves as a gimmick, and I think that's why it lands so well. She's genuinely endearing. I can imagine her energy creating misunderstandings, straining relationships, or putting people in situations where they care about her but still have to establish boundaries.

I'm not trying to say Shelly pushing boundaries is cool, I mean I think it's a really interesting piece of characterization that has the potential to create believable conflict and shape her relationships in meaningful ways.

Oh my god i'm so glad you like it

I'm gonna be honest, the discussion we've seen around shelly's character has been, in the lightest terms possible: EXHAUSTING. 🫩

This was such a breath of fresh air to read. I'm so glad you put your faith in our writing.

I promise we'll get into her more. May i remind the gentle people of the jury, that Shelly has had

THREE. SCENES. So far.

this is how i imagined it lmao. They had a sorta yin and yang thing going on that would look better on black and white films if they were ever recorded. also non-subtle character design metaphors

also yes i kept dandy's extra petal that i accidentally gave him in the old picture LMAO

ugly ugly ugly ugly Ugly from like a few months ago before my life fell apart HAHAHAHA
