Shelley van Lowe

Shelley van Lowe was the owner of the Van Lowe Taxidermy store in Lewisburg in Appalachia, inheriting the store from her parents.

Background
Shelley was Calvin van Lowe's sister and posted the Sheepsquatch ate my brother! posters all over Appalachia following his disappearance just after the Great War.

While Shelley did not believe her brother had been eaten by a sheepsquatch, she was sure that his obsession with the cryptid had something to do with his disappearance. Despite wanting to stay in Lewisburg after his disappearance to get closure with regards to his fate, Shelley had to leave the town to protect some people who she was caring for. She left a note for Calvin on his terminal, indicating that she planned to move to "where Mom and Dad said we'd always live some day," hoping that he would return and read the message.

She was unaware of the full nature of Calvin's employment by the Bysshe Company or of the existence of his secret lab in the basement of the store. She was likely also unaware that the store had been sold to the Bysshe Company prior to her leaving town.

Conversation with Carver Timmerman indicates that Shelley is still alive as of 2103, and lives near the Timmerman family in Kentucky. She works as a trapper for the Timmermans' hunting business, as she was a close friend of Deb Timmerman before the bombs dropped.

Appearances
Shelley van Lowe is mentioned only in Fallout 76, introduced in the Wild Appalachia update. She is also mentioned in the Wastelanders update.

Behind the scenes
Shelley's name is likely a reference to Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein and the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley, whom the Bysshe Company is named after.
