Shalia Flippo (Gerosha Prime)

Shalia Flippo is one of the two main characters in the original 2005 webcomic The Battle for Gerosha, the first published Sims webcomic in the history of early Dozerfleet Comics.

Abilities
This version did very little to explore Shalia's unique abilities, other than making her a successful politician and pianist.

Character bio
Shalia was born alone in the woods to one Marissa Hood. Following Marissa's death, and the death of Tobey Flippo, Shalia married Stan, whom she met in the woods one day and became close friends with.

The two had a child together named Reily. However, the Hebbleskin Gang soon sought to make Shalia's life as difficult as possible. After Reily was kidnapped, and the Hebbleskins began infiltrating the local police force, Stan and Shalia had to flee town to gather some more friends.

Stan was nearly framed for stealing a wardrobe, and Shalia nearly framed for murder. The couple are eventually reunited after their town is reclaimed, and rebuild Craterville as Gerosha. The two of them adopted Erin Wyer after getting Reily back, and had several more children. Both of them, in their old age, died of cancer, and were buried next to each other. Their mansion, the Triangulum, became a major landmark in the town's history.

Personality
Shalia is a humble wife, but a fierce political leader, who is very outspoken. She is entirely committed to her greater cause of creating a better world, especially when she decides that includes making it a world free from the Hebbleskins' influence. Shalia loves architecture and music as well.

Trivia

 * Stan and Shalia having Reily was seen as an almost mandatory development, in keeping with them having Reily in Proto Gerosha. The lack of a Reily in Test Gerosha was deemed insignificant.  Continuity distinctions weren't as emphasized in 2005 as they were in later years.
 * However, Shalia in The Sims 2 in the original run had the Family Aspiration, as did Stan. To fulfill this aspiration, they needed to have 10 children.  Hence, why the couple had so many children that were initially canonized into Gerosha mythos.
 * However, the game didn't count Ploribus as a proper child of Stan's, since he had Ploribus via alien abduction rather than via Shalia. The game also didn't count Erin, since she was adopted.  Therefore, according to the overly context-smart Family Aspiration trait, Stan never fulfilled his goal due to technicalities, stopping at only 9 children via Shalia.
 * Many of the early children's looks are off, due to the way Sims 2 assigned skintone genetics. Instead of a middle brown appearance for Stan and Shalia's kids, they were all either as dark as their mom or as light as their dad, with no in-between.
 * Candi and Miriam were twins in the original Sims 2 gameplay, since triplets weren't possible without mods. Marina being a triplet third sister in the set was fudged into continuity.


 * In-story, cancer claims Shalia's life. In reality, it was player frustration leading to death cheats, as Shalia technically now had 11 children legally, and the game still didn't count her husband's aspiration as being fulfilled.
