Y/N shelby is the nicest person you could ever meet

well it depends when you meet her

but she cared deeply for her siblings

So she is almost constantly on the run round for her brothers and sister

Whether she’s chasing ada down the street for stealing her heals

or storming into tommys office to shout at him for being a BITCH

or she’s running after Arthur after finding out the number of girls he had in his bed the previous night

or maybe she’s darting after john and his kids after getting noise complaints from the neighbours

or she’s running to her aunt Polly to inform her of her brothers idiotic actions of the day

but obviously Y/N can’t yell at finn because he’s just too precious

and of course, Arthur always calls his big sister out for favouritism towards the youngest

“Look at this. Favouritism.”

Y/N was giving the 12 year old a cuddle on the sofa after he found out that his crush from the bottom of watery lane is currently in a relationship with the bakers son.

“Piss off with your favouritism Arthur, come and join in if your that mardy”

What Y/N didn’t expect that day is to be at the bottom of a shelby sandwich.

John, Arthur and even fucking Tommy piled onto their big sister wrapping their arms around each other.

Ada and Polly walked on into the unfamiliar sight and froze in confusion,

“May as well pile on ada and break a few more of my ribs”

she did.

so if it wasn’t obvious enough before Y/N is the best hugger ever.

As well as being the best hugger ever she was the dream role model to her siblings

Her brothers and sister looked up to her as if she were a god.

when the girl walked into the snug of the garrison her brothers never failed to stand up at her presence.

Y/N laughed, she always thought they were just being stupid,

“will you bloody sit down”

Even John kids and Karl declared her as ‘the best auntie ever’

And if that isn’t a title you wouldn’t want I don’t know what would be.

She always took them on Saturday morning trips to the bullring and always looked forward to her Friday night catch ups with Katie as the young girl filled her auntie in with the gossip that had been floating around the school that week.

John was very appreciative of this, especially since loosing Martha.

Of course big sister shelby was there to comfort her brother during the loss of his wife

Y/N and Martha were close, her death hit Y/N hard too but the older girl decided to hide it from her brothers and was left to break down in her house, alone, at god knows what time

big sister shelby was also there for tommy when grace passed away

Y/N was the only one tommy would talk to which was no surprise at all

“You are allowed to cry brother”

Thomas burst and cried on his sisters shoulder as she mourned her death silently

“I promise you Tom, it will get better.”

The woman also stepped up for little charlie and made sure he was still happy, which he was, the poor boy hadn’t a clue what was going on

So after all her acts of kindness Y/N shelby was deemed the smile of the shelbys.

too good for that family wanderers in the lanes would mutter

but the shelbys considered Y/N was the best thing that happened to them and tommy would dread to think was he would do if he didn’t have his right hand woman.

As well ada ada who would be lost when it came to trying to sneak out to find her boyfriend without her older sisters help

Also arthur would be well and truly fucked. There wouldn’t be a limit to the drugs and drinks

John would be overrun be his kids and the inability to cope without is older sister

and little Finn would just sit up at night and wait for his oldest sister to come and kiss his head and tuck him into his sheets.
