Shelly

Shelly is an event girl in Crush Crush, obtainable via the Beach Bash Event or the Ticket Booth. She is the sixty-fourth (64th) addition to the main list.

You encounter her after kissing the Crab to spread "Love and Joy" while picking up trash at the beach.

Personality

Shelly is a human version of our beloved beach babe, Crab-Chan! She’s got a hard exterior and might seem a little grumpy when you first meet her, but her adorableness more than makes up for any "attitude" you must endure. And yes, that same brashyet-cutesy confidence remains even after she falls in love with you!

Despite eventually revealing her soft, squishy insides, Shelly will always keep you on your toes. Remember, she might be small, but she’s not afraid to pinch you! She’s also not afraid to kiss you, poke you, hug you, annoy you, and love you loudly. Basically, she’s not afraid of anything at all.^[1]

Dialogue List

First Meeting

You're at the beach, collecting trash so your favorite date spot stays nice, when you see a crabby-looking crab!
Doing your best to bring joy and love to the world, you lean down and give it a little kiss. In an explosion of sparkles and pink smoke, the crab transforms into a cute girl!
Original story concept - CRUSHED
She looks absolutely confused, somewhat vulnerable, and VERY DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT.

Adversary

What are YOU looking at, you butt?

Sorry

HEY! Heeeeeeey! Hey! Are you ready to catch these claws - uh - hands? You'd BETTER be ready for a fight if you're gonna go around KISSING everyone you see!
BEHOLD! It is I! The consequences of your actions, you BUTT! What do you have to say for yourself?
Ah-hem! Ah-Ah-HEM! Is that my voice? Is that MY voice? Huh.
I feel very... squishy? Having bones on the inside is WEIRD. How do you not die from everything?

Gift

AH! PIIIIINCH! ... Er, sorry. I still have a bit of trouble dealing with surprises...

Poke

HEY! That's my tummy you're poking! Quit it!

Upgrade to Nuisance

Goin' around, turning crabs into people. You could really ruin someone's plans for the day like that! Tch.
Wait a minute! I'm human! I can call you out person-face to person-face! Come on you, let's go!

You Unlocked Shelly! Snip snip!

Nuisance

Don't sneak up on me or you're gonna get my left claw! POW! Right in the kisser.

Sorry

I feel very... squishy? Having bones on the inside is WEIRD. How do you not die from everything?
What was your plan here? Just show up, get bored of picking up trash, and kiss a crab for funsies? We have feelings too you know!
Ugh. Humans. You give them an inch, they swim all over you.
Listen. I was a crab. Now I'm not a crab. Weirder things have happened on this beach. You know it. I know it. It's best to just accept it and move forward.
Shore. Yeah. You're funny. You really crack me up. That's not a compliment, by the way. I'm a crab. Being cracked up sucks.

Gift

AH! PIIIIINCH! ... Er, sorry. I still have a bit of trouble dealing with surprises...

Poke

Woah! Are you trying to start something, you butt?

Upgrade to Frenemy

Okay fine. I believe you. You k-kissed me to cheer me up.
What do you want? A gold star? I may have forgiven you, but I'm still mad!

Shelly is your Frenemy! Watch out for those crab claws!

Frenemy

If I didn't know any better, you butt, I'd say you were following me.

Sorry

Listen. I was a crab. Now I'm not a crab. Weirder things have happened on this beach. You know it. I know it. It's best to just accept it and move forward.
Shore. Yeah. You're funny. You really crack me up. That's not a compliment, by the way. I'm a crab. Being cracked up sucks.
Why are you so nice to me? Stop that! Don't you know how hard it is to be steamed at someone who's so... YOU?
Okay, maybe compared to other humans I'm a bit short. BUT DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME A SHRIMP! It's very offensive in my culture.
Holy crab! I'm starting to see why squishy legs are such a big deal. Kicking, running forwards, wiggling them all around... What else can you do with these things?
Let me take a look at you. Hm. Hmmmmmmm. Yep. You look way better from this angle. I mean, it's much harder to see up your nose now.
There's a rave later. I'd invite you, but you're not a crab.

Gift

Why are you giving me stuff? Don't you know it's way less satisfying than pinching things off unsuspecting people sleeping on the beach?

Poke

Woah! Are you trying to start something, you butt?

Upgrade to Acquaintance

I've seen you around these parts. Sometimes. NOT THAT I PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO YOU. But you look pretty okay.
Er, what I'm trying to say is... it looks like you enjoy the beach. That means you have good taste.

Shelly is your Acquaintance!

Acquaintance

Look at my face. Isn't this the face of danger? Of pinchiness? And yet somehow... you keep showing up. Almost like you want to see me. Tch.

Talk

Holy crab! I'm starting to see why squishy legs are such a big deal. Kicking, running forwards, wiggling them all around... What else can you do with these things?
Let me take a look at you. Hm. Hmmmmmmm. Yep. You look way better from this angle. I mean, it's much harder to see up your nose now.
There's a rave later. I'd invite you, but you're not a crab.
Why did you even decide to kiss me in the first place? You're like 10,000 leagues out of my... er... league. This better not be some kind of rude joke!
Having hips is A-MAZ-ING! Look, I can move them in a BUNCH of different directions. They're like shoulders for your legs!

Gift

Why are you giving me stuff? Don't you know it's way less satisfying than pinching things off unsuspecting people sleeping on the beach?

Poke

Woah! Are you trying to start something, you butt?
Unacceptable! You'll never win ANY tickle fights if that's all you've got!

Upgrade to Friendzoned

So tell me something. And be honest. Do you... like spending time with me? Or did I just make you feel guilty because I was kind of mean earlier?
Oh good! I mean, you DID turn me into a human when I had crab things to do, but I kind of... like the new me. So thank you?

You've become Friends with Shelly! Under da sea!

Friendzoned

Come at me! Oh. It's you. Let me try that a little less aggressively. Hi. You can come over here if you want.

Talk

I DON'T look crabby anymore. Why would anyone say that? Clearly I look humany.
Turns out I really like it when you look at me and you make your mouth go up at the sides. You should do that more.
Don't stand so close to me! Oh, but not that far either. Closer... a little to the left... one step back... Perfect! Now don't move.
It's not like I was at the beach every day because I hoped to see you or anything! That makes it sound like I had a c-crush on you or something! I was a crab. Hanging out at the beach is literally our whole thing.
Wanna fight? You may be taller than me, but I'm stronger! Probably.

Gift

Yoink! Thanks. This is neat and I'm glad you let me take it.

Poke

Woah! Are you trying to start something, you butt?
Unacceptable! You'll never win ANY tickle fights if that's all you've got!

Upgrade to Awkward Besties

Listen up, you butt. You may have a nice face. You may even have a nice personality to go along with it. Uh... where was I going with this... N-N-NEVER MIND! FORGET IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER!
Just... know that I'm onto you. Being all friendly. Giving me stuff. What's next? Cool outings that I'll really enjoy? Tch.

You and Shelly are Awkward Besties. That's... awkward.

Awkward Besties

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I kinda like seeing your face. It's a nice break from the starfish and sea sponge that are normally around.

Flirt

Don't stand so close to me! Oh, but not that far either. Closer... a little to the left... one step back... Perfect! Now don't move.
It's not like I was at the beach every day because I hoped to see you or anything! That makes it sound like I had a c-crush on you or something! I was a crab. Hanging out at the beach is literally our whole thing.
Wanna fight? You may be taller than me, but I'm stronger! Probably.
Why is it that even though I kinda maybe might like you, I'm also mad at you for some reason? I never knew there was more to emotions than "pinch" and "no pinch"...
Huh. I don't think I ever thanked you for cleaning up the beach. Well. Thanks. Not many people bother. Uh... It's the middle finger you humans hold up to show appreciation, right?
Blinking both eyes at the same time is hard, okay? I wasn't winking at you!
I don't know what it is, but something about your face makes me want to punch you. So! You! Me! Sockem Boppem fight! Let's go!

Gift

Yoink! Thanks. This is neat and I'm glad you let me take it.

Poke

Unacceptable! You'll never win ANY tickle fights if that's all you've got!
Cut it out! That... feels funny. Not in the ha-ha way. In the I-think-I-like-it way...

Upgrade to Crush

Yeah, yeah yeah. You got me. I admit it. You're pretty cool. But you wanna know something else?
I already knew that. I've wanted to talk to you for a really long time now, but I was never able to manage. Communicating as a crab is difficult!

Clam up! Shelly has a Crush on you!

Crush

You'd better be here to give me some kind of compliment! I thought of one I want to give you, but I don't want it to seem out of the blue, so you have to start.

Flirt

I was just thinking we should hang out here more. Ah! B-because it's nice here! Not because I like spending time with you! Don't get the wrong idea!
I guess I should apologize to you for being so crabby earlier. An attitude problem is part of the territory.
Can I say that you helped me out of my shell? I mean that in a VERY literal way.
Hmph. I won't say that I have a crush on you, but I won't say that I don't have a crush on you either.
Now that I'm a human, when do I get to start my side hustle? I've literally spent my entire life hustling sideways, so I've never been more prepared for ANYTHING!
C'mon, we're gonna dig some holes in the sand! I LOVE digging holes in the sand! You never know what kind of treasure you'll find at the beach.

Gift

Cool! I'd fight someone over this. Thanks!

Poke

Unacceptable! You'll never win ANY tickle fights if that's all you've got!
Cut it out! That... feels funny. Not in the ha-ha way. In the I-think-I-like-it way...

Upgrade to Sweetheart

Oy! You bu...bble? Bubble. Yep. That's what I meant to say. You've got a pet name now. That's okay with you, right?
Ha-HA! Good. I wasn't really going to give you a choice. I think bubble really suits you, 'cause you're both fun and it makes me happy looking at you.

You and Shelly are Sweethearts now!

Sweetheart

Y'know, I was feeling a little "left shark" until you showed up. Thanks for making me feel better.

Flirt

Hmph. I won't say that I have a crush on you, but I won't say that I don't have a crush on you either.
Now that I'm a human, when do I get to start my side hustle? I've literally spent my entire life hustling sideways, so I've never been more prepared for ANYTHING!
C'mon, we're gonna dig some holes in the sand! I LOVE digging holes in the sand! You never know what kind of treasure you'll find at the beach.
Where do you keep your snacks? I want some. Sharing your snacks is a good way to prove you like me.
Thinking about it, I'm kinda glad I'm not a hermit. Can you IMAGINE the size of shell I'd need to store the hundreds of gifts I make you get me? Yikes.
Kinda disappointed at the availability of crab-themed games. They're all about fighting! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE fighting, but I do that all day, every day. What about a chill dating sim?

Gift

Cool! I'd fight someone over this. Thanks!

Poke

Cut it out! That... feels funny. Not in the ha-ha way. In the I-think-I-like-it way...
Yes! I was hoping you'd do that! Now come here, it's MY turn! Heeheehee!

Upgrade to Girlfriend

I learned something today. When humans call you "mate", it's just like calling you "friend". I've been calling you my mate, but it means... something else in crab. What do I do?
It's called "Girlfriend" huh? Okay! I'm your girlfriend! Thanks for clearing that up for me!

No more crabby moods allowed. Shelly is your Girlfriend!

Girlfriend

You put a smile on my face, bubble. Buuuuut it's up to you to decide if it's because I'm feeling happy, or if it's because I'm up to something!

Flirt

Me and you, sitting in a tree! P-I-N-C-H-I-N-G!

Gift

Why can't I hold all these gifts? I guess I lack discipline. Better give me more stuff so I can train!

Poke

Cut it out! That... feels funny. Not in the ha-ha way. In the I-think-I-like-it way...
Yes! I was hoping you'd do that! Now come here, it's MY turn! Heeheehee!

Upgrade to Lover

There's something I've been meaning to tell you, but I don't want you to make a big deal out of it, okay?
Here it goes. I'm IN love with you. My heart is full of love FOR you. And? I love you. Just in general. You're wonderful, bubble!

Shelly is in LOVE with you!

Lover

Heeheehee... Turn around! I wanna sneak up on you and jump on your back.
I was just trying to decide if I should kiss you and demand to know where you've been, or slap you and whisper that I missed you. Which would you prefer? I'll do the other one.
Great! You're here. Time to shower me with your unrestrained love and affection heehee!
Yes! You're back! I'm so happy to sea you!
Hi, bubble! Oooh, you're so cute I could just pinch your cheeks!
It's about time! I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me. Which is obviously both unacceptable and untrue.
(Naked) Consider this an invitation to lick my clam.
(Naked) Heehee, how about you come over here? I've got a beautiful spread of legs for you to admire.
(Naked) Don't you think I've got one shell of a body?

Seduce

Me and you, sitting in a tree! P-I-N-C-H-I-N-G!
Heehee! I like to think I'm your deadliest catch. Even including the bear girl!
Pinch pinch! Aw, come on, it's just a little love nip! How else are you supposed to know I'm thinking about you?
Admit it! You find me crabtivating!
We're so good together! If I would have known a little smooch was all it would take for us to end up together, I would have crawled on your face the first time I saw you instead of stealing that Cassie girl's bikini top!
Yes! I'm just so happy that you're mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine!
I... I love you! But it's kind of embarrassing to say, dummy.
How did I get to the point where I feel like my life would suck without you? Not that I'm complaining, I've just been dreaming about being with you for so long, watching you from afar... and now it's my reality. I'm grateful, but I'm still confused.
Is it hot in here? Or does it just feel that way because you're standing next to me? Either way, I'm friggin' molting!
Let's get some of that mystery-flavored ice-cream from the Snacc Shack. I know it can be kind of a crab-shoot, but I think it'll be fun to try it together!
AHHH! Where's my millionth sand dollar? It was just here a second ago! Someone must have stolen it! It's not like sand dollars can sprout feet and walk away! *sob* Hold me?
Gosh, I shore feel like a blobfish today. Can we just hang out and hold hands? I promise not to squeeze too hard this time!
I'm just... really angry for no reason! Do you know what that means? You need to get your butt over here and hug me! Being hugged by you makes me feel calm and nice.
Do you wanna play a game or something? Checkers? Hopscotch? Wait. You can't have a winner in hopscotch, can you? What a useless game. Checkers it is!
LOOK AT THIS! I can pick up things with my TOES! Human bodies are so WEIRD.
Give me your hand. It's going on my head for a minute. I'd better not hear any complaints either! I may be demanding headpats, but my hair is silky and nice to touch. You'll like it.
Someone suggested I go jump in a lake, and I can't believe I didn't think of that myself! So obviously I added it to my non-crab-bucket list. When are you free? I can't imagine going with anyone but you!
You're positively crabtacular! Which is the highest compliment you can give a person. You're welcome.
I'm thinking of starting a band. I know a couple of crustaceans that are real rock lobsters! What do you think of the name "Marshmallow and the Crabettes"? Oh, did I forget to mention that you'll be the lead singer?
Your love hit me like a tidal wave. I was defensive about it, but it carried me to exactly where I needed to be - in your arms.
Jeez! You're gonna blind someone with that smile! Heehee, I'm just pulling your leg. I really love your face, and I like the way it lights up when you see me. I hope I light up like that too when you're around!
I was pretending to be this huge kaiju on the beach, and stomped on some kid's sand castle. She got upset. I've learned my lesson, but just in case it happens again accidentally, how do you calm down a crying human child and their angry parents?
Oh my GOSH! I can't believe I didn't know about WATERBEDS until now! I may have bought one. Or thirteen. Time to redecorate the house!
Don't think that just because we're lovers now, I'm over wanting to punch, pinch, and bonk you! In fact, if anything, I want to do that stuff more! Especially the bonking!
Just so you know, anger and love are similar emotions. They're not the opposite of one another, they're just different forms of passion! I'm telling you this because I'm hoping you'll realize I've always loved you.
Y'know, if I was stranded on a deserted island and I could only bring one thing, that thing would be you! I mean, I'm a pretty good swimmer, so I wouldn't actually be stuck there or anything. I just think the pretense is kinda romantic.
BOP! PINCH! Oh whoops, sorry! I hope that didn't hurt. I still have these irresistible urges to prove to you that I'm fit to be your mate... So... is that a yes, or should I keep pinching?
(Naked) F is for friends who hang out together. U is for you look nice. C is for - wait, that's not how it goes.
(Naked) I don't think I've ever been so wet in my life! You should be proud of yourself... I did used to live in the sea, after all.
(Naked) We may come from different worlds, but our love knows no boundaries. Much to the delight of those Rule 34 people.
(Naked) Hmmm... I wonder... Do I taste like the sea? Maybe you should come over here and find out.
(Naked) How about we have a little sex on the beach? And no, I'm not talking about the drink...
(Naked) If I was a plant, what kind of plant do you think I'd be? I can't decide if I'd be kelp, because I am a little salty, or a cactus, because I know I can be a bit prickly! Either way, I'm good for your health if you eat me.
(Naked) Look at my body. Feel my body. Taste my body. Experience me with all your senses! Then when you're done, let me do the same to you...
(Naked) Want to be the motion in my ocean? The crash of waves on my beach? The rocking of my ship? Huh. Now that I think about it, there are a LOT of ocean-themed innuendos.
(Naked) Help me with the poem I'm writing. "She talks all sass. Her looks? Straight class! Her bubble... should grab her ass!" Heeheehee!

Gift

Why can't I hold all these gifts? I guess I lack discipline. Better give me more stuff so I can train!
Ha-HA! YES! This is absolutely crabulous!
Don't worry, I'm not shellfish. We can both play with this! But... me first.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! I love that you give me so much stuff. It's just one of the many reasons you're the best.
Thank you, this is great! But you know what would make it even better? If it was shinier! I LOVE shiny things!
[School Uniform] In the name of the sea, I will punish you! For being a HUGE NERD! Because someone has to be the school bully, and I think I'm better suited to the role than you are!
[Bathing Suit] Yes! Yes! Look at this! I'm unbeatable now! I'm gonna go punch a shark! Don't try and stop me!
[Diamond Ring] Heehee! I didn't think I was the marrying kind, but I'm so happy we tide the knot!
[Holiday Outfit] Do you wanna come share my sweater? There's lots of room.
[Lingerie] Heh... This sits on my skin and pinches in all the most arousing ways. How about you come discover how wet you've made me?
[Birthday Suit] Well, well, well. I oughta show you some proper thanks for this "outfit" choice...
[Unique] I'm not a morning person, bubble. If you wake me up early, you'd better have coffee and breakfast in-hand! Otherwise, I turn into one crabby beach!
[Animated Pose] Dressed to impress! You, that is.

Poke

Yes! I was hoping you'd do that! Now come here, it's MY turn! Heeheehee!
Heehee! Ah! No! Heehee! Wait! Heehee! Watch out, I don't wanna punch you by accident!
Ahhh! Heehee! Ya big meanie! I wasn't prepared!
(Naked) Oooh yes! Touch my breasts... Touch my thighs... Touch my waist... I can't get enough of your hands!
(Naked) Mmm, how about you stroke my pearl instead?
(Naked) Heehee! Oh, come on. Put those fingers to better use! I have a whole list of things I want you to do to me.
(Naked) Hahaha! Careful! If you keep going like this, we're both going to end up on the beach with sandy cheeks...

Sex Scene

Shelly starts stripping off her clothes and throwing them at you. "I can't wait any longer! Even just sitting there you're driving me wild!" She starts touching herself and moans your name. The invitation is clear, and everything you do is right in her eyes.
On all fours, Shelly rocks her bum from side to side. "Wow. I mean really - wow! Whatever you were doing with your fingers... Neptune save me... I'm a mess for you... And you HAVE to let me return the favor!" Which you do, much to her delight.

Dates

[Moonlight Stroll] I can't believe you think the figure in the moon is a rabbit or some guy. It's clearly a crab! The claw's on one side, and the legs go out from the middle... You see it, right?
[Movie Theater] Of course I live under a rock. I still don't understand what that has to do with me not understanding who all those weirdos in capes were though.
[Sightseeing] What a beautiful place! Everything was just so... RED! I can't believe you wouldn't let me stuff leaves in your shirt too. It's gonna take me a zillion trips to get them all back to the beach!
[Beach] I used to be really jealous of all the people you hung out with at the beach... now I'm one of them! Hooray!

Dialogue about Ayeka

You know that chick with the eyes? Pretty shore that's who I saw my cousin, Crabitha, hanging around with right before she disappeared.
Some JERK replaced my perfume with melted butter! I'm offended but it also smells DELICIOUS. I mean, I'd eat me.
That girl with the hair better watch out! You mess with the crab, you get the stab! Tch-cha-cha-cha!
I got a note that said "Human legs don't grow back" and I can't decide if that's a threat or just some random information.
Okay, that beeyotch with the face? She'd better stop following me around. These fleshy fingers are nothing compared to my claws, but I'm shore my knuckles will do in a pinch!
Hey, do you want a cracker? I don't know who left them, but they're obviously for me. It says so right on the bag. "Crab Crackers". There's something really familiar-tasting about them too...

Trivia

When Shelly talks about the player "being better company than a starfish and a sea sponge", she is referencing the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants, where two of the main characters are the aforementioned species.
Shelly's first encounter, kissing her in her crab form to turn into a girl, is a reference to The Princess and The Frog where a kiss turns a frog into a handsome prince.
When Shelly's first encounter says the 'original story concept' has been crushed, it may be a reference to the plot of Blush Blush, the game kissing animals to turn them into human characters is usually relegated to.
Shelly is one of the youngest characters at 18, along with Ayeka, Eva and Juliet.
One of Shelly's lines, "There's a rave later. I'd invite you, but you're not a crab." is a reference to the song Crab Rave by Noisestorm.
At Awkward Besties, Shelly says "sockem boppem fight", which is a reference to the Rockem Sockem robots.
At Acquaintance level, Shelly says "You're like 10,000 leagues out of my... er... league" which is a possible reference to the book 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
In Cassie's beach date, Shelly steals Cassie's bikini top. This is later referenced in one of her lines: "We're so good together! If I would have known a little smooch was all it would take for us to end up together, I would have crawled on your face the first time I saw you instead of stealing that Cassie girl's bikini top!" Shelly's beach date also has her pictured holding multiple girl's bikini tops.
One of Shelly's possible lines talks about a sand dollar sprouting legs and walking away as an impossible occurrence. While they do not sprout legs, sand dollars can actually move on their own.
Shelly is the only girl the player kisses before Sweetheart level.
Shelly eating crab crackers is a reference to how crabs are cannibals in real life.
Originally, Shelly's line for switching to her Animated Pose was the same as her Unique Outfit.
Her star sign is Cancer, which is the crab sign.
