Shelly Archer's Character Extras

Michelle “Shelly” Archer



About the Family
Ancestry: British, Welsh, Dutch, Italian, and Native American

Family in General: The Archers were a family of military and farming significance in the United States. A few of the members still seek to serve in the former capacity: Christopher Archer, Nicole Archer, and the late Brendan Archer.

Important Persons (to Michelle; arranged by approximate age):
Travis Archer; biological father – Shelly was fairly oblivious to Travis’s hidden resentment that his daughter was born with magical powers, seeing only his pride and love. She doesn’t understand why her daddy died and still misses him greatly. Just before she drifts off, Shelly often has “conversations” with him to let him know Nikki is taking good care of her and all of the activities of the day. Shelly knows that her daddy was always proud of her and loved her, even though her birthing killed Miranda. Michelle is aware of the fact that this ritual makes Nicole uncomfortable and so tries to do it as quietly as possible once Nicole leaves the room.

Kurtiss Ashcroft; father’s friend, honorary “uncle” – Kurtiss often played cards (poker) with Travis. With children of his own, this man was excellent around Shelly. He is the husband of Blair, who helped Nicole and Shelly move to England after the Brian Delaney fiasco.

Miranda Archer; biological mother (deceased) – Shelly never got the chance to know her biological mother as Miranda died in childbirth.

Nicole “Nikki” Archer; step-mother/aunt – Current parental figure and caretaker of Shelly. The girl loves ‘Nikki’ to pieces and wouldn’t have the woman any other way. She’s picked up quite a bit from Nicole, though has still maintained her own separate identity. They go into the magical world at least once a week to hang out together, though that will change once Shelly goes off to Hogwarts.

Blair Ashcroft; father’s friend, honorary “auntie” – One of Shelly’s favorite “Aunties”. Kept Shelly entertained on the plane to England, where Nicole was relocating the both of them, and helped Shelly unpack some of her things.

Lorelei Maitland, a.k.a. as “Nana” or “Lori”; babysitter – A young woman who earned the nickname of ‘Nana’ despite her youth. Shelly greatly enjoys the company of Lorelei and considers her almost like a sister.

“Auntie Martha”; Tanya’s mother, honorary "auntie"

Tanya; best friend, honorary "cousin" – A friend from Shelly’s British Muggle school, also a Muggleborn witch, who will be attending Hogwarts with Shelly. The pair are nigh inseparable.

As soon as she meets them...

Mark Yaxley; Nikki’s friend, currently “Mr.” but soon to become an honorary “uncle” (whether he wants to or not xD) – ((Shelly’s POV pending))

Julian Kaiser; Nikki’s friend, currently “Mr.” but soon to become an honorary “uncle” – ((Shelly’s POV Pending))

Other Notes
~ Shelly often refers to people by a common respectful title (Mr., Miss, Mrs.) followed by whatever name information she has (e.g. Mr. Julian). However, after she sees them a few times she integrates them into the family so to speak. Most people around Nicole’s age by her reckoning earn the Aunt/Uncle title, those around her age that she has no romantic interest in are dubbed Cousins, and those older than Nikki get named Grandma/Grandpa.

~ In Shelly’s mind, the entire world is her family in a manner of speaking. She has a big heart and it will take quite a lot to make her not at least like you. Her point of view absolutely has to believe that there is some good in a person.

~ Has picked up some of the emotional uncertainty from Nicole. Shelly can be a bit ambivalent when her feelings are hurt, wanting to run or confront the person that hurt her. If tears are on the rise Shelly will hide so no one sees her suffer. She comes back around after a while, with apologies mending things almost instantly. If she can’t face the person to apologize verbally for something she did, Shelly will leave them a note or some other token.

~ Often falls asleep mid-activity when all her energy is spent. Nicole is frequently seen toting the child off to bed or waking the child up just long enough to coax Shelly into a prescribed nighttime routine.

~ Isn’t easily grossed out, but also likes pretty things.


Pets

~ Miko
- Male cat; breed: Maine Coon
- Shelly sometimes hugs the cat too tight, without meaning to, out of sheer love for the creature
- Miko’s behavior is deliberately goofy for Michelle, but mellow for Nicole and Mark (and others that like the mellow type)
