—Shelley (DS)

Shelley (マリリン Marilyn) is a character and eligible party member in the Dragon Quest series who appears in the remakes of Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation.

Appearance and personality[edit]

Shelley is identical in appearance to her nautical conch-wearing contemporaries. Shelley is the very first slime buddy that can be interacted with, demonstrating her rather hapless fortune in future encounters. A bit on the self-depreciating side, she beats herself up over repeatedly missing her friend and in party chat, even going as far to suggest being used as a projectile. Her outlook on life mostly brightens up when she joins the party however, revealing a caring side of her personality.
