— Shaundi telling The Protagonist about Josh Birk's marriage proposal to her

Description

In Saints Row 2, Shaundi had a Wings 1 lower back tattoo and a star tattoo on her hand, sometime between Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, Shaundi had the lower back tattoo removed because it is no longer there, though the star one is still on her hand. The faint outline of the Wings 1 tattoo can still be seen.

In Saints Row 2, she wears "Women's Camisole 4".

In Saints Row: The Third, Shaundi no longer dresses in her 'Burnout Hippie' outfit and has gotten rid of her dreadlocks, dressing more professionally than in Saints Row 2 due to her new dating show and the Saints becoming famous icons to the public. She wears purple skin-tight pants that lower slightly in the front, and wears a tight purple crop top that exposes her midriff region (it's a much lighter shade of purple and has the SR initials in game). She wears a leather jacket over her crop top, tattoos around her waist (mostly in the promotional art and the game's box cover, and less in game), wears high heal boots, and wears a choker necklace. Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail that branches off into multiple flocks, while a fringe of hair waves freely in front of her face.

Shaundi wears a chain-belt in Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third. Both of these belts are unique to her and cannot be purchased at stores.

In Saints Row IV, the modern-day Shaundi model (introduced in Saints Row: The Third) as well as the "Burnout-Hippie" Shaundi model seen in Saints Row 2 is present in the game, although the SR2-era Shaundi is only in the Simulation and is not actually real, while the modern-day Shaundi is the real living one. While Shaundi is in the White Crib serving as the Director of the Secret Service, she wears a black blazer done up with the top opened out slightly which exposes some of her cleavage and wears a matching skirt that goes down to just above her knees. She also wears tights and a pair of black high heels. Her hair is pulled back into a large bun with pearls on the back and braids wrapped at the base. She wears a pair of pearl stud earrings, and a silver necklace. While on the Spaceship, Shaundi like the rest of the crew, has her blazer and skirt replaced with a spacesuit that like her blazer, she leaves the zip down which leaves her cleavage slightly exposed. Her hair is still tied back into a bun and she wears the earrings, silver necklace and high heels as well.

Within the Simulation when she is rescued during De Plane Boss and before completing her Loyalty mission, the modern-day Shaundi will again wear her Saints Row: The Third outfit (The purple crop top, purple skin-tight pants, leather jacket, high heal boots and choker necklace). Upon getting part way though her Loyalty mission her Super Powerss are unlocked and completing the mission, Shaundi's outfit from the previous game is replaced with a black leather midriff and skin tight black and purple pants, equiped with 2 holsters and padding protection, and the Saints fleur-de-lis icon on her belt. She once again wears a choker necklace reminiscent of her SR3 choker, her hair is pulled back into a wavy ponytail, and wears purple gloves that go up to just below the elbows with the Saints fleur-de-lis icon adorned near the top.

The SR2-era Shaundi wears attire similar to the game in which she hailed from. She has a purple bandana over top of chest-length sandy brown dreadlocks along with a single silver stud piercing centered below her lips. "Fun Shaundi"(as referred to in SRIV) wears a light-purple midriff tank and VERY low-riding light-purple skinny jeans with spiked/silver accessories, similar to her appearance in SR2. This includes: a spiked choker necklace, silver bangles on her right arm, and two visible tattoos: a tribal-type sinking low down her back into the tip of her (exposed) butt-crack, and a large star on the top of her left hand, below a studded wristband. Her shoes appear to be Converse-style sneakers. The SR2-era Shaundi will not change her outfit upon getting her Superpowers unlike the modern-day Shaundi. Both versions of Shaundi are available as homies, and Shaundi's loyalty mission unlocks both versions of herself as "Super Homies", both of whom, when summoned,(through the phone)can now also utilize various super-powers to your aid within your simulation.

Attitude-wise, Shaundi's demeanor shifted drastically between Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third. As of the third game, she seemed to have matured physically, emotionally, and in terms of combat skill compared to the drugged-out, apathetic, hedonistic "hippie" archetype she was attributed to be. Shaundi now appears to be somewhat of the " most sensible" type, and takes her tasks very seriously. Shaundi expresses her feelings very strongly, and seems to have no problem with demeaning another person - regardless if they're friends or not. As common within the gang, she also has no problem with engaging in physical violence or killing another person. She is no longer a weaker combatant as in SR2.

This is quite the contrast to the Classic SR2 Shaundi, who almost embodied rebellion, drug-abuse, and amoralism. Occasionally in her company, you would witness her consuming drugs. Shaundi appeared to have a non-chalant, sarcastic, mellow attitude throughout SR2, and while bring generally weak in combat, she wasn't non-violent, and wielded weapons. She had many connections and friends within the drug-business, and appeared to have extensive knowledge on many aspects of the Loa Dust drug, which led The Protagonist to meeting her.

Shaundi's apparent large-scale self-reinvention from SR2-3 was a heavy topic in SR:IV during Shaundi's loyalty mission, after her rescue mission where she discovers her former self in her simulation and expresses hate for all of the old traits and behavior she used to exhibit, possibly explaining why the change in her apparent sobriety, physical appearance, and maturated attitude. However, the two seemed to come to terms after bickering and competition due to their newfound superpowers. Shaundi seems to be the most distraught over the death of Johnny Gat: this might pose a reason as to why Shaundi continues to change emotionally on all levels; even amongst the fame and status achieved by being prominent in The Saints - she eventually became somewhat of a sex-symbol. (maybe this inspired the shift in fashion and attitude) It is somewhat implied that modern Shaundi is heavily regretful of past events, her old reputation, and embarrassed of what people might think about her being an elite gang-member/celebrity whilst having what appears to be living evidence of her delinquent, immoral, drug-clouded past before The Third Street Saints hit stardom as of SR:3.

Biography

Shaundi was once a student at Stilwater University^[1], during which she visited Steelport while on spring break.^[2] She had relations with countless men, and frequently mentions "one of my exes" as her source of information.^[3] She also served a brief stint in prison, where she met Laura.^[4]

Saints Row 2

Shaundi becomes a member of the Saints after The Protagonist impresses her with some stunt jumps.^[5] She is later made a lieutenant and put in charge of gathering information on the Sons of Samedi,^[6] a job she is initially reluctant to undertake.

She quickly begins undermining the Sons of Samedi's drug operations by learning the recipe for replicating Loa Dust, with the assistance of The Protagonist and Laura.^[7] The Sons of Samedi, angry at the attack on their business, send DJ Veteran Child to deal with the problem.^[8] Veteran Child finds Shaundi alone in the Saints Hideout, and after knocking her out, he kidnaps her and takes her to On Track, a dance club.^[9] Once The Protagonist arrives, Veteran Child tries to use the hostage lieutenant as a shield, but The Protagonist finds a way to take him out and helps Shaundi out of the club, leaving the DJ's corpse on the dance floor.^[9]

As Veteran Child had bested her, The Protagonist doubted Shaundi's ability to hold her own. It isn't until she announces her plan to bug the city's traffic cameras that The Protagonist allows her to come along, due to the fact that The Protagonist has no idea how to hack into the police computer.^[10]

Once the Saints track The General down, Shaundi and The Protagonist attack him at the Rounds Square Shopping Center, fighting their way through dozens of The General's foot soldiers, before finally taking out the Sons of Samedi leader.^[11]

Shaundi is unlocked as a Homie after completing the Sons of Samedi arc. When she is called using the Cellphone, she arrives in a Voyage, wielding a K6 Krukov.

Saints Row: The Third

Years after the Saints conquered Stilwater, the former hippie has become more focused, both on the Saints and her celebrity status. In line with the expansion of the Saints' brand, she now has moved from drug trafficking to having her own TV dating show and a new look that is distinctly more professional than her previous bohemian style.Template:Fact

Her main obsession after arriving in Steelport is destroying The Syndicate,^[12] the loss of Johnny having affected her deeply and affects her for the rest of the game. As the Saints settle into Steelport, Shaundi becomes angry with how long it is taking to find and kill Phillipe Loren, and when informed about Powder by The Protagonist, she was threatening to burn it to the ground (much to The Protagonist's surprise) and when they get there, Pierce and the Boss argument about entering the place pushes Shaundi's patience to her limit and quickly shot the guards before leading the way to the back. Shaundi hacks the computer in the building to get the details while The Protagonist and Pierce deals with the Morningstar. After that's done, the 3 Saints return to the Saints HQ to load up on weapons before heading to the Syndicate Tower to kill Loren, proving successful thanks to The Protagonist's quick thinking. Before they leave, Shaundi tells the crew that they should destroy the building, although Oleg reasons that keeping the building would be useful.

After killing Loren, the Saints head back to Stillwater to deal with Johnny's funeral, but is ambushed by Killbane's Luchadores, angering Shaundi again and goes with The Protagonist and Pierce to help get other's, although she get's annoyed by the fact that their first new recruit Kenzie Kenzington is an former FBI agent. After Kinzie is rescued, Shaundi get's her to safety.

During Trojan Whores, Shaundi threatens to 'kill' Pierce while on the phone to The Protagonist when he throws a party shortly after Johnny's death, annoying her that the Boss was defending him. When at the party, she get's close to lossing her cool with Pierce and Zimos and when The Protagonist and Pierce tells her that she needs to move on, she storms out frustrated at the other Saints' seeming lack of compassion.

Shaundi spends her time in Steelport assisting The Protagonist in any way that will bring the Syndicate down and when Kinzie informs her and The Protagonist about Killbane tarnishing the Saints reputation, the 2 of them track down Killbane and Shaundi almost assainated him but Matt Miller hit their choper with an EMP and crashed their helicopter. She also has to deal with watching Josh Birk during STAG Party, much to her displesure.

When Shaundi gets kidnapped by the S.T.A.G during Stilwater Blues by Kia, The Protagonist has surgery in an attempt to rescue Shaundi, taking on the appearance of Cyrus Temple, and travels to the Thermopylae, taking Pierce and Viola DeWynter as "captives". The four escape, but not before blowing up the aircraft carrier, angering STAG and making them instate marshall law in the city.

During Three Way, The Protagonist receives a call from Angel De La Muerte. Killbane is at the airport, fleeing the city. Halfway through the call another call comes through, this one from Kia, informing them that Shaundi and Viola are strapped to bombs at the base of the Steelport monument, and plans to kill them in the explosion so when their bodies are found, the Saints will be viewed as terrorists. The player must choose between saving the girls or annihilating the last member of the Syndicate.

Endings

Kill Killbane

If the player chooses to kill Killbane at the airport, Shaundi, Viola and Burt Reynolds are killed in the explosion.

Save Shaundi

If the player chooses to save Shaundi, Viola and Burt Reynolds, they travel to the Magarac Island where the three are being held. After disabling the bombs and fighting through waves of STAG soldiers, The Protagonist reaches Kia at the top of the statue, who holds Shaundi as a Human Shield. The Protagonist however, is able to kill Kia and save the hostages, and leaves with Shaundi and Pierce to go film Gangstas in Space.

The Save Shaundi ending is the canon ending to the game. ^[13]

Saints Row IV

Shaundi appears in the Saints Row IV "Crossing the Delaware" teaser image ^[14], and a Twitter post from Steve Jaros confirms that it is her.^[15] In the "War For Humanity" trailer, Shaundi is shown to step out of her old "Saints Row 2 self" in a virtual reality simulation.

At the start of the game, the Protagonist, Shaundi and Pierce join with Asha Odekar on a counter-terrorist operation to take out Cyrus Temple, who has since gone rogue. The Protagonist managed to kill Cyrus before attempting to disable the nuke he launched. Believing the Protagonist intended to sacrifice themself, Kinzie suggested they say their final goodbyes. Shaundi told her friend that when they first met, she was just a girl in dreadlocks but the Protagonist saw her as more than that.^[16]

Five years later, as the Protagonist is elected President of the United States, Shaundi is part of the cabinet, with her role being the "Director of Secret Service". Just as the Protagonist was about to attend a press conference to deal with public relations after a verbal misstep, Shaundi informs the Protagonist of a pending alien invasion, immediately before it occurs. The Protagonist and Shaundi attempt to rescue Kinzie as she is abducted by Emperor Zinyak, but Secret Service pin the Protagonist to the floor while Shaundi is captured by Zinyak. ^[17]

Shaundi is placed in her own virtual nightmare by the Zin, forced her relive her failure to save Johnny Gat. As the Protagonist arrived in her simulation to rescue her, the virtual Gat comes back as a zombie, forcing her to kill it. Zinyak then sends her into another nightmare, where she is back in her old stoner appearance, being held hostage by Veteran Child. After defeating Veteran Child, modern-day Shaundi emerges out of Fun Shaundi. The Shaundis start arguing before being broken up by the Protagonist. ^[18]

Audio Logs

Main article: Audio Logs

It's amazing looking back on how I used to be: constantly baked out of my mind, always looking for the next party... You'd think after I got my own dating show I would've been even more of a train wreck, but doing TV is hard work. Who has time to go smoke up when they have to be on set at 6 a.m.?

— Shaundi Audio Log 1

Ever since that night on Loren's plane things haven't been the same. I used to be fun and carefree. I used to smile and laugh. Now, I just want everyone to pay for what the Syndicate did. Johnny didn't deserve to die like that. He was the toughest person I knew. And it's my fault. I should've gone back for him.

— Shaundi Audio Log 2

The boss kept the crew together when we landed in Steelport. First we took out that asshole Phillipe, and then Killbane for what he did to Johnny's funeral. STAG was just icing on the cake, really. I thought I'd be happy with revenge, but it was never the same. Even when the boss won the election and we moved to the White House, I couldn't stop thinking about what Johnny would say about it all.

— Shaundi Audio Log 3

The moment I walked into that underground shithole the crew was setting up in, I knew it all had potential. So the Saints had been out of the game a while, so what. We had the boss and we had Johnny Gat, what more did we need? I knew I was a little rough around the edges, but I was willing to learn. Then the boss goes and throws me the Sons of Samedi. Now that was a drag.

— Fun Shaundi Audio Log 1

I shoulda known dating that asshole was gonna end badly. Veteran Child, what kind of a name is that anyway? Sure, he had hook ups for some of the best drugs in Stilwater, but that's no excuse. And he comes and tries to kill me? Whatever. He didn't have a chance against the boss. I tried to warn him, but he never listened to me. Only the boss really did.

— Fun Shaundi Audio Log 2

Damn we had some good parties after all that. Then again, I knew how to have a good time. A little Loa Dust, some beer bongs, some hackie sack and bam! Instant party. We all needed the distraction after taking over Ultor, and distractions are what I do best. I mean, what did any of us know about running a multi-billion dollar company after all? Though a few hits off the lightbulb later, we didn't really care.
