Shelly is, to put it lightly, a rather opinionated person. Especially when it comes to things she loves, like Warriors, which she's been reading since Into the Wild came out, and this Wiki, which she takes pride in being a part of.

Many who see my blogs know how passionate I can be about these things. I'll also be writing essays on topics I feel need a more thorough look-through by me. Those essays that are planned are listed below, and it's likely that more will be coming.
