'''Shannon Márquez''' is a TV repairwoman and the cousin of [[Weaver Márquez]]. In [[Act I]], she joins [[Conway]] on his search for [[Dogwood Drive]].

== Life ==

Shannon~~'s parents were miners who died in~~ a ~~mine flood, leaving her under the care~~ of her ~~aunt~~, [[~~Remedios~~ Márquez]]~~. Her family has financial hardships for much of her life. She owns a~~ [[~~Shannon's workshop~~|~~workshop~~]] ~~in the back of a~~ [[~~bait shop~~]] up ~~north by [[Lake Nolin]], where~~ [[~~Wax Road~~|~~Wax~~]] and ~~[[Peonia Road]] meet. Collected feathers as a child~~, ~~not as a hobbyist collects trinkets, but~~ in the ~~way "a clump~~ of ~~dust collects more dust by static electricity~~."

Shannon was born to a family of immigrants. She grew up living with her mother, father, [[J. Márquez|uncle]], aunt [[Remedios Márquez|Remedios]], and cousin [[Weaver Márquez|Weaver]]. Their financial and legal situation was often precarious, and she grew up without health insurance or regular doctors. Shannon's parents worked as miners at [[Elkhorn Mine|Elkhorn]] and drowned when it flooded, presumably leaving Shannon in the care of her aunt and uncle for her later high school years.

~~== Family ==~~

As an adult, she began living and working out of the back room of the [[bait shop]] on the corner of [[Wax Road|Wax]] and [[Peonia Road]], using it as a workshop for TV repairs. However, as flat-screen TVs began replacing CRT TVs, she was unable to keep up with the bills. She is evicted during Act III.

~~Shannon is~~ the ~~cousin of [[Weaver Márquez]]. Her aunt and uncle are [[Remedios Márquez]] and [[J. Márquez]]~~.

Depending on the players' choices, she may have an ex named Alejandra or Mark who she still talks to on occasion.
