Shannon comes from the same area as McCarron, drawn by the Highlanders recent successes and striving to prove that a McPhearson is every bit as good as a McCarron or McDougal! She is a formidable fighter who has participated in the frequent skirmishes between the clans themselves and against Orks and Skaven encroaching on their traditional territory, so she feels confident that she can master Blood Bowl and become a star player that will be remebered for ages in the Hall of Fame.

She has gotten a rough introduction however, getting her skull smashed in a game against undead. The apotechary saved her life but she will carry the scars forever, together with a seething hatred for all un-life.
