Shel is a calm, composed, and caring young woman, who looks out for her younger sister, Becca. Compared to her sister, Shel is much more mature and rational. She often shields Becca from what the world is truly like, to the point of even not letting her feed the fence walkers. Though she is much more desensitized to the world, she still has moments of vulnerability such as getting upset about a walker eating a puppy.
After an unknown survivor intrudes the camp, the group is forced to make a decision on whether to kill him or let him go. Depending on the player's choice, Shel can either show compassion and let him go or go along with executing him, seeing it as the safest option. Whatever she chooses, Roman ends up becoming much more controlling over the camp and keeping it safe, causing the group to become much more cold and distant. After Stephanie, one of Shel's good friends, is caught trying to steal supplies, Roman forces Shel to be the one to kill her.
Shel ends up having to make a decision on whether to kill her old friend for the good of the group or leave the camp, seeing the group as too far gone.
Nothing is known about Shel's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she has a younger sister named Becca and that during one of Becca's birthdays, Shel face-planted her face into the cake.
On the second day of the apocalypse, Shel, her little sister, Becca can be seen running away from walkers outside the prison bus Vince is in. They were seen with another girl (possibly their friend) who was then devoured by a zombie.
234 days afterwards, Shel is part of Roman's Group from Gil's Pitstop as she attempts to create a safe place for her younger sister Becca. Among the group are Roman, Stephanie, Clive, Boyd, and Joyce.

When an unknown intruder who can't speak English breaks into the camp and steals food, Roman and Boyd argue whether the intruder should be executed. When the group can't decide, Roman makes Shel decide the fate of the intruder. Stephanie and Boyd vote to let the intruder live while Roman, Clive, and Joyce believe the intruder should die.
Depending on the choices the player makes, Shel can choose to either let the intruder go, in which causes the attack of Gil's Pitstop and Boyd's death, or kill him on the spot.
After the decision the player makes, Shel is filled with regret and/or guilt for what happened 23 days ago as it has now affected the group.
Roman meets with Shel and reveals Stephanie was caught trying to escape with some of their supplies. As punishment, Stephanie is locked in a truck with Roman insisting she must be killed, as an escaped member of the group cannot be trusted to keep their location a secret.
Depending on the player's choices - if Shel agreed to keep the intruder alive, Roman states her decision was wrong and it cost Boyd's life, so now she has to pay for it. If Shel decided to let Roman kill the intruder, Roman reminds Shel of the agreement that was made.
Shel explains the situation to Becca about Stephanie, and she is upset, but angry at her. Shel then opens a drawer as she sees a gun and keys to the RV, causing the two sisters to briefly argue. The player then decides whether to take off in the RV with Becca, or go through with the execution.
On day 400, Shel, along with Becca and the four other survivors, meet a woman named Tavia at their campsite who approaches them and offers the group to join her community. If the player chose to leave the gas station in the RV, then Shel will join Tavia, with Becca joining her out of fear of Roman. Alternatively, if the player chooses to kill Stephanie, then Shel will agree with Tavia's offer if Tavia brings up the existence of other children at the settlement.

Shel accepts Tavia's offer (Unknown): If Shel accepts Tavia's offer, she appears in Season Two along with her sister, Becca.
Shel will only appear in this episode if she goes with Tavia. She appears as Clementine is going with Bonnie to do her first chores and is then encountered as Becca asks who the girl is. Shel defends Clementine saying she's had a rough day and is new. It is unknown what happened to Shel and Becca during the walkers attack on Howe's Hardware.
