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.
+
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. Shannon collected feathers as a child, not as a hobbyist collects trinkets, but rather in the way "a clump of dust collects more dust by static electricity."
  
−
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.
