| “ | You should start paying attention, Alex. You're still running around playing the victim and hurting people while you do it. You hurt Ryan when he got shot. You hurt Nimah and Raina when your suspicions drove them apart. You hurt Claire Haas when you harassed her and you hurt me trotting out my parents as a part of some personal vendetta. Face it, Alex. When this whole thing is over, the Bureau is going to realize that you are the biggest mistake they ever made. And not believing me today, that might be the worst. | ||

Character Biography
Shelby Wyatt is a southern belle turned FBI firearms specialist. While Shelby looks (and sometimes plays) the part of the sweet debutante, she was orphaned at the age of 16 and that gives her a tough center. Hardened by tragedy and the secrets her family hid from her, Shelby arrives at Quantico to find a real and seemingly lasting friendship in her roommate, Alex, but after the Grand Central bombing, the two appear to be adversaries. What kind of bad blood must have gone down between the former best friends? Shelby has a lustful, very fun and wild affair with Caleb Haas, but lust doesn't spell love for Miss Wyatt, or so she says. Shelby has many skeletons in her closet, and she won't be able to conceal them from her NAT classmates for long, especially Alex. After the bombing, the two -- whether they like it or not -- will need each other in order to discover the truth.
Early Life
Shelby Wyatt was raised in Augusta, Georgia by a wealthy family. She was featured on a few hunting magazines after she had become famous hunting with her father. When Shelby was a young girl, only 16, she was "stripped" of her parents in the tragedy that was 9/11.
