Character History
Dino Charge
A waitress at the Dino Bite Cafe, she stows away on one of Kendall Morgan's digs and accidentally finds the Pink Energem, bonding with the Tricera Zord.
Shelby is the daughter of a corporate family, the owners and proprietors of Watkins Ice Cream. Her father, Mr. Watkins, wants her to take over the family business when he eventually steps down. Shelby started working in the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum's Dino Bite Cafe a year before the events depicted in Dino Charge. She wanted more than anything to move up in her role in the museum and be part of the fossil digs instead of serving in the restaurant.
When trying to persuade Kendall Morgan, the museum director, and her two assistants Chase and Koda to allow her on a fossil dig does not work, Shelby decides to stow away on their truck for a dig hoping that it will persuade Ms. Morgan to let her take a job at the dig itself. However, before she could get their attention at the site, a hooded figure steals a crate from the collected items. Shelby chases after the unknown person and gets an assist from Tyler, a passing explorer. It turns out the crate contained an Energem and the hooded figure reveals himself to be a menacing monster named Iceage who, upon realizing Tyler also possessed an Energem, freezes the two. Contact with the Energems saves both from completely freezing and they find themselves with fossilized weapons. When Shelby and Tyler insert the Energems, they become Rangers and are able to fend off Iceage.

Shelby and Riley arrive to fight Snide.
It's unknown why Shelby and Riley didn't come to the main dimension in order to find Keeper alongside their team, but when the Beast Morphers Rangers left to fight a Gigadrone, and the Dino Charge Rangers were preparing to fight Snide, Tyler called them to help. Just when the team defeated Snide, the newly revived Sledge and his crew appeared. Shelby fight againt Wrench, but was defeated, and almost destroyed alongside her teamates if it weren't for the Grid Battleforce Rangers appearing at the last second, blasting Sledge's crew and managing to get away after rescuing Keeper. Shelby and Riley came back to their dimension off-screen. TV STORY-Finders Keepers
Days after their previous adventure, Goldar Maximus and Snide were attacking the Dino Charge Rangers in their dimension and were after their Energems. Four of the Beast Morphers Rangers arrived but the villains still managed to steal four of the Energems and defeat both teams of Rangers, while Shelby and Riley retained their powers. When both teams were hiding and discussing the villains' plans of making an evil Zord, Jason and Devon arrived, gave the team Morphers and Morph-X powered Dino Chargers to the other four Dino Charge Rangers and decided to split themselves into two teams.

Shelby and her team followed Jason on a frontal assault while the Beast Morphers team attacked from behind. When Goldar Maximus and the rest of Evox's army arrived, Jason summoned his old Mighty Morphin' teammates and the Dino Rangers to defeat the army in a big fight.
During the battle, Shelby defeated some foot soldiers alongside Billy and Ethan. When Evox summoned his massive Chimerazord, Shelby summoned her Tricera Zord, and her team joined in forming the Dino Charge Megazord and aiding in its defeat. With Evox on the run again, the teams departed and said goodbye to the Dino Charge Rangers. TV STORY-Grid Connection

When the timeline was restored, so was Shelby.
Personality
Shelby is a rough-n-tumble 18-year-old tomboyish girl who doesn't mind getting her nails dirty. She is clumsy and not interested in all things that don't involve dinosaurs or being a Ranger; she finds business boring to study/learn, as seen with the relationship she has with her father and his ice cream business.
