Bio:
Shannon Leopard first came to Earth from another dimension when she was a young baby, and was left on the doorstep of Hollywood executive Karen Hood, along with a letter rom her mother telling her that she was a very special girl, and must be treated with love and care. The dimension she came from was one where anthropomorphic animals existed, and that she was the first daughter of the King and Queen of Leoporia, a nation that is not on any modern maps of the globe, but is very high in resources such as industry and agriculture. However, on the day Shannon was born, a mysterious lobster named Augustine Crustious attacked the royal estate, and while her father tried to fight him off, he was killed. Before Augustine could kill Shannon, her mother took an axe, and cut off his right claw, causing her and Shannon to flee their kingdom. Afraid that Augustine would quickly discover her daughter's identity, the Queen consulted her court magician, and he created a portal to the human world for her to flee to, and with nowhere else to go, she left Shannon on Karen's doorstep, and fled into the shadows.
However, since Karen was a greedy, uncaring executive who only loves money and ratings, she did the exact opposite of what Shannon's mother told her to do. As a result, Shannon was often locked in her attic, never allowed to go outside or even meet new people because Karen told her that humans would hate her and label her as a "monster" just because she was different. She was also forced to be Karen's personal slave, doing all her chores, cooking all her meals, and she never got anything in return for her hard work. The only time she felt free was when she would sneak out on Tuesday and Thursday nights to take kung fu classes at the local YMCA taught to her by friendly monks from Tibet who were her only friends. She did this since she was eight years old, and has mastered Shaolin kung fu almost perfectly, making her one of the best students in the class. But, on the night where she was about to reach the highest rank in her class, Karen discovered she was sneaking out, had her removed permanently from the class, and beaten with a yardstick for "being disobedient."
One day, Shannon was then offered a part in a children's show Karen had conceptualized called "D.U.M.B. Doggy," which was about an idiotic dog who was drafted into the army where all he does is cause trouble for the force, and Shannon was written as the dog's personal doormat, being comedically injured, tortured, humiliated, and abused for no real reason. Despite having a cult following on social media, the show was universally panned, and was considered one of the worst shows ever made, but it still made Karen more money somehow. Shannon faced even MORE backlash from everyone, even fans of the show, calling her the "worst character on the show" because she did nothing on the show. This made Shannon more upset, and on her 26th birthday, she wished that someone would take her away from this nightmare and find out where she really came from.
Her wish came true when the show's best boy, Mitch Hutchinson, noticed that she was miserable, and called Heroes, Ltd. to run an investigation on the show. So, American Eagle, Princess Tech, the Djinni, and Arrowhead arrived to check things out, and after seeing the horrible conditions that Shannon was living in, American Eagle ordered that Karen's legal guardianship over her be terminated, and that the show be cancelled. When Karen sicced Heat Stroke on the four heroes, Shannon decided to unleash 26 years of stored up frustrations, and used her kung fu skills to help them fight him. During the fight, she invertedly knocked Karen into a vat of irradiated cobra venom that was planned to be used for an episode of the show, and thinking she was dead, she decided to leave behind her abusive lifestyle, and joined Heroes, Ltd., where she helped the other heroes help those in need just like her. Shannon was still curious about where she came from, so she decided to use Heroes, Ltd. to find out more about her true life, all while protecting the innocent and fighting VillainCo as well.
