Fenette, Shirley
シャーリー・フェネット
Shirley is cheerful, caring, brilliant, outgoing, and extroverted. Her involvement in the Swimming Club keeps her physically active, while her role in the Student Council drives her social engagement. She also holds top grades in her class at Ashford Academy.
She actively voices concern for Lelouch regarding his gambling with nobles prior to the series' start. Driven by her love for him, she continues to express these concerns throughout the show. To her chagrin, every member of the Student Council knows she loves Lelouch; meanwhile, Lelouch has other matters on his mind than Shirley's affection. She hails from a Britannian military family and is highly cultured and privileged.
Spoiler
Her mental state becomes catatonic after her encounter with Mao. She feels love for Lelouch and is distraught because he was accountable for the death of her father. It is apparent that he knows what she thinks about him and receives some grief from C.C. as a consequence. After Lelouch sealed her memories away of him and his secret with Geass, she retains many of her personality traits.
Spoiler
Shirley makes her first appearance at the beginning of the first episode of the series at the Ashford Academy, discussing Lelouch's gambling habits with the members of the Student Council.
Later, she was at the incident involving the Japanese Liberation Front Hotel Incident. A group from Japan Liberation Front raids a hotel and takes its occupants hostage, including Milly Ashford, Nina Einstein, and herself.
Shirley had a significant role in the middle of the first season after the Order of the Black Knights, indirectly causes the death of her father, Joseph Fenette, during the Battle of Narita.
Shirley tracks Lelouch to a battle between the Britannian forces and the Black Knights, wherein an unconscious Zero falls out of his Knightmare Frame. She retrieves Lelouch's gun, intending to avenge her father, only for Zero's helmet to fall off, revealing his identity. Shirley hesitates, and Villetta steps in to arrest Lelouch and have him executed. Shirley then shoots Villetta, who followed Shirley secretly to protect Lelouch.
In the aftermath of the battle, Shirley becomes even more distraught. She tries to write a letter about her feelings on the situation, only to throw it aside. Mao, a mind-reading Geass user, plays on her insecurities to convince her to kill Lelouch. While nearly successful, her first shot misses and causes Lelouch to trip, making him drop many photographs he had taken from her room. These photographs remind her of her feelings for Lelouch and make her remember all the fun times she had with him, and she refuses to kill him.
After C.C. prevents Mao from killing Lelouch and Shirley, he sees she is torn between her feelings for him, guilt from "killing" Villetta, and the events surrounding her father's death. Lelouch uses his Geass to order Shirley to forget all the memories that are tormenting her. During and after using his Geass on Shirley, Lelouch expresses regret for having to do so and even makes the notion that he might have loved Shirley but no longer knows if that's true.
After having her memories of Lelouch erased, Shirley regards Lelouch as a stranger in her life, only to find out that the two have been going to classes together for some time. Lelouch merely claims they fought to dismiss her confusing behavior. Later on, Shirley finds the half-finished letter she had written before losing her memories, which identifies Lelouch as Zero. Naturally, she is confused since she wrote it but didn't remember doing so.

Spoiler
In the second season, Shirley, along with the rest of Ashford's Student Council, have had their memories rewritten by the Emperor to accept Rolo Lamperouge as Lelouch's younger sibling in place of Nunnally. Shirley's affection for Lelouch has returned, and her knowledge of Zero seems to have been erased.
After the festival, she is accidentally exposed to Jeremiah Gottwald's Geass Canceler, restoring the memories which both Lelouch and the Emperor had erased. After coming to terms with it, she understands Lelouch's motivations and forgives him after realizing that he is alone in his quest.
She later asks Suzaku if he could forgive Lelouch, to which Suzaku refuses. She tells him that she forgave him a long time ago and that nothing is unforgivable. She resolves to support Lelouch as the one true thing in her life but runs into Rolo. He sees Shirley with a gun searching for Lelouch. She tells him she wants to join them because she loves Lelouch, and she wants to help him get Nunnally back. In doing so, she accidentally triggers Rolo's jealousy at Nunnally and makes him realize she knows much more about Lelouch than she should. Herewith, he loses it and uses his Geass on her and mortally wounds her with a gunshot to her upper abdomen.
When Lelouch finds her, she is lying in a pool of her blood. She confesses her feelings to Lelouch and reveals that even knowing he killed her father and had memories erased of him twice, she kept falling in love with him over and over again. In a desperate attempt, Lelouch commands her to live by using his Geass. However, due to the massive blood loss, his Geass fails, and she dies at his side.
