Four-Star Badass: She's a Vice Admiral in the RHN, and a Fleet Admiral in the Elvanian SDF. She still dons a skinsuit for 1st Manticore (with the RHN's 2nd Fleet), and 1st Elvana.
Intergenerational Friendship: With Sonja and Michelle, especially as the author wanted to make her very young for her rank in the canon events.
Minored in Ass-Kicking: Started off as a not too bad tac officer. Then got promoted a few times, and shifted into R&D at Bolthole.
Pay Evil unto Evil: She isn't happy at the Sollies for pushing the Republic and Manticore back to war
Playful Hacker: Enjoys hacking tech items, from datapads, to game engines and a whole lot more.
Royals Who Actually Do Something: That's her, as despite everything, she's managed to have a spectacular career in the ESDF (prior to being stolen), and later the PN/RHN.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: Interrupts the SLN officer in charge of invading Elvana
Snark-to-Snark Combat: With Michelle Henke, after the Grand Alliance. It helps some characters know what relaxed Shannon looks like, because she's been too nervous around them to really let it show before.
