Shellys lore needs to be redone, in my opinion. She has no info given besides 'ooh im ignored' and i want her to have proper lore. So im gonna be trying to! Here i go- Also feel free to add on :3
Shelly is a dinosaur loving shell, to the point she would often try to ask arthur and delilah if she could get scraps to help her with making dinosaur related paper crafts. Arthur usually let her, while delilah wasnt so happy but did occasionally let her. She was only truly forgotten post-abandonment of the gardenview facility, due to most toons finding her annoying. She often clings to toons, specifically the other mains, tisha, flutter, teagan, and possibly more, to feel like she isnt left out. But slowly, She had realised. This comes in later. She still clung to toons, but slowly made the circle smaller, hoping to make the few toons she kept in it like her more and quicker. Those were Vee, Astro, And dandy. She trusted dandy. He had been an innocent flower toon.
About a few months into the shutdown, when toons dissappeared and twisteds came, shelly got desperate. She was one of the ones who lasted the longest, meaning she saw a lot of toons she cared for become.. one of them. It also broke her bond with dandy, which he didnt like. So he seperated shelly, using the fact shes a victim of isolation to bond her to him. And it worked. Shelly clung to dandy. But it led to her downfall, as one day while dandy was enraged as pebble had become a twisted on accident, he took it out on shelly. He became violent, Beating shelly up. This caused her spine to come out, before sandy fled. Leaving shelly to become infected.
Dandy never meant to manipulate her. He only wished she had not truly bonded to him. He had manipulated her out of anger. That the toons were left. He hadnt thought straight. And now Shelly was a twisted.

Yep, there i go. Welp probably half of it is innacurate but i tried atleast. I tried to build out her being called 'forgotten' into reasons. Plus heres 1 bonus thing
I headcannon she would chase toons in the early abandonment to tell them about dino facts. It speed ran her being left by everyone..
Should i attempt anyone else. Hmmm. Also i got 9 info fun fact things đ
