Shelby Rose

Shelby Rose is one of the main characters in The Outbreak Story and its lore. A longtime friend and love interest of Alexia Birmingham, the two joined the Special Paranormal Defense Forces together, training together and later joining Team 16 (at the time consisting of Noah Ridge Jr., James Thorpe and Marie Belle) on their hunt for the three lost artifacts.

In battle, Shelby Rose acts like the team's medic. A skilled medicine and potion brewer, her role on the battlefield is to heal injured SPDF agents. Aside from that, her potions can also boost endurance, reflexes and condition for a limited time. The left sleeve of her coat has a built-in hidden gun for fast assassinations and creating distractions.

Her talisman is modified to both act as protection against dark forces and as a tracking device that Alexia can use to trace her location in case she gets in danger.

Personality
Shelby is a kind-hearted, caring and positive character. She dreams big and believes that all goals can be achieved if you truly believe in them. She is a lesbian and cares a lot about her lover Alexia Birmingham, being incredibly happy and hyperactive when reuniting with her, and often acting dirty around her. She has an optimistic outlook on life, believing that all human beings have good in them, but her high expectations of others often let her down. It is hard to truly get Shelby Rose angry, but things like bigotry, rudeness and more minor things can often annoy her a bit. In her free time, Shelby Rose writes a book, parts of which can be read by the player.
