Fanon:Shannon Wimble

Biography
Shannon Wimble was born on August 17, the oldest child of Don and Lucy. She learned how to play the piano at the age of three and quickly became a child prodigy. At the age of six she even composed a piece that made her a local celebrity and even won an award for it! After high school she received a huge scholarship from Julliard. There she continued to write great pieces and met Edward Holgren, a gifted saxophonist. They fell in love instantly and became engaged at the end of their sophomore year. Then two weeks before the wedding, Edward was killed by a drunk driver. On the day of what was supposed to be their wedding, Shannon found out that she was pregnant. Although she was devastated she continued her studies and wrote music. Denni was born in the fall of her junior year and Shannon mostly depended on her brother Scott to take care of her. When Shannon graduated she decided to put off finding a job and lived with her brother. For a while she started out playing at birthday parties and then got promoted to playing lead keyboard for a local band.

Life in The Sims
When Shannon got a job as a session piano player at Sim Records, she immediately accepted. When she and Denni moved in they were instantly welcomed by all the neighbors. Shannon found Bill Cardova to be very friendly. In less than a month since she moved in the two were dating. She instantly became friends with most of the girls in Sim Lane and felt like she knew them forever. Denni is a great daughter but Shannon feels somewhat detached from her. They enjoy each other's company but they just aren't close. Denni's a little reserved and is always off on her own. Shannon enjoys her job at the recording studio and hopes to do more to add some music to Sim Lane.

Shannon then takes her relationship with Bill to the next level. Shortly after going serious, the two find out they are expecting a child. As a result, Bill moves in and helps Shannon decide what to do next. The situation creates a strain in her relationship with Denni, who is unhappy about the news. Ever since finding out Denni kept herself busy and barely stayed home, refusing to acknowledge Shannon or Bill. Despite being unsure of what to do, Shannon and Bill are determined to raise the baby together.

Unfortunately that all changed when Bill is caught cheating on her with Audree. As a result Bill was kicked out. Shannon was so upset that she almost lost the baby. Fortunately she didn't and Scott was born. Denni is speaking to her again and helping her take care of the house. As she recovers, friends like Claire, Josie, Rachel, and Allison came over to cheer her up.

What Lies Ahead...
Now that she's broken up with Bill, Shannon plans to steer clear of relationships for a while. As of right now she refuses to see the Cardovas. Will things ever be the same between them again?

After the baby thing with Bill, Audree seems distant from Shannon. She doesn't know why Audree is acting cold towards her but it's the least of her worries.

As an Enemy She's a serial flirt. The reason why Shannon and Bill broke up. Shannon feels betrayed by her. No wonder Audree was acting so cold towards her. Shannon can't stand to be in the same room with her.
