Personality: A student at NYU, Sharon is the editor of the school paper. She was popular in high school, having gone to a large suburban high school in Indianapolis Indiana. But she longed for the culture of the East Coast, and the chance to learn journalism with the New York Times someday. She is very curious, and wants to dig up the facts in any story. Sometimes this curiosity gets her in over her head. Also, she shares a love of science, including nature and geology.

Keith got her into the rock group KISS, when he took her to their reunion tour concert at Madison Square gardens. She goes along with some SCA/RP activities as a diversion.

Weaknesses: Sharon has a tendency to be a bit blunt at times with her friends. She says what is on her mind, and doesn't take kindly to men being macho. Sometimes her curiosity gets her into situations that are more then she can handle.

History: She is one of two children, and her mother is single. Her father, a reporter, died when on a story investigating a government site and this story has always made Sharon curious as to what happened to him. She has a little brother, Daniel, and doesn't get along with him too well. When she was in High School she was a cheerleader and dancer, often winning many a competition. It seemed as if she had it all. But she had a streak for the "bad boys". Being the daughter of a single mother in white New York State suburbia might seem daunting, but Sharon handled it well. Friends, school and popularity came easy, but Sharon found them empty and fleeting. She spent most of her life trying to be the smartest and prettiest of girls. Yet she wanted more, and lived something of a double life. Often she would go out camping and horseback riding during summers, acting very much the opposite of the chatty extroverted popular girl.

Since childhood the Pocono Children's Y camp was her favorite refuge. One of the regular councilors there was a Rayna MacLaren, later known to be Rayna Vitreum, her college geology professor. Right away Sharon clicked with Rayna, and spent many a summer sneaking off on weekend rock hunting trips with her. Somehow Rayna understood the awkwardness buried under the sharp talking, energetic blonde girl. That thirst for knowledge in the face of being uncool did not deter Rayna from sharing much geology with her friend. Rayna often told great campfire stories about alien worlds, and distant space exploration.

During one swim trip she noticed the odd burn scar on Rayna's leg and the colorful tales of science fiction became very real. For it was the Dalek gun burn Rayna had spoken of in her favorite story. Faced with this, Rayna admitted her alien alternate physiology. Now she had another friend and confidant she had not anticipated.

Her first boyfriend, for two years was one of the most skilled fellows in the shop department. She was chief editor for the high school paper, the Wildcat express, and this journalism experience got her a scholarship to NYU's school of journalism.

Because of Rayna, Sharon enrolled and is currently a sophomore at NYU. She hangs out with her best friends, Keith Polaski, a geology major, Carlos Garcia, and Lucia Dominguez. The four are inseparable, and would bail each other out no matter how crazy the situations would get.

Sharon and her friends were inextricably drawn into strange events concerning the Quarrymen and the Gargoyles when a recruitment group showed up on campus. Keith and Sharon vocally opposed the group, while Lucia and Carlos tried to take a more middle of the road approach, simply avoiding their friends who had signed up. When Rayna Vitreum was dismissed in mid semester after taking a part time job with Xanatos Enterprises, Keith and Sharon organized a protest rally. MacDuff attempted to quiet an explosive scene between Sharon, Keith, and Jon Castaway. Unfortunately Sharon was kidnapped with Keith by the quarrymen to be made examples of. Saved by Rayna, Sharon was sent to get help from the police. She joined MacDuff who had accompanied Lucia and Carlos to the hospital. Desperately worried about Rayna, and joined by a concerned Keith, Sharon demanded something be done to find Rayna. Macbeth and Keith pledged to find their lost professor.

All Keith would tell her three weeks later was that Rayna had suffered a terrible accident and was receiving experimental treatment. His tales of fighting Quarrymen at Macbeth's side sounded like some practical joke, and Sharon didn't believe him.

Sharon, angry at Keith stopped talking to him for a while, and plunged into the normalcy of her social activities. One included a Dance for the Journalism club, with her acquaintance Becky Blade. Though not close friends, both did have many classes and friends in common. Becky introduced Sharon to her brother Josh one day, and Sharon was intrigued. Josh promptly fainted at MacDuff's lecture on gargoyles, and Sharon wondered why. Later at a dance she finally got a chance to be alone with him. Yet in the end of the slow dance he vanished without a trace. Miffed, Sharon and Lucia went after him and Professor MacDuff, who had also vanished. The duo noticed Macbeth was being questioned by several other colorful characters and Det Elisa Maza, whom she had known through mutual friends. Lucia feared MacDuff was in danger, and set off after him as Sharon set off after Elisa and Josh's friends.

Unfortunately on the way, gang men, who questioned her, abducted her. She was later released with five hundred dollars and a warning to remain silent. Instead she went to Matt Bluestone, and told all. Later she woke up inextricably on her dorm sofa with Lucia, and no memory of what happened in the next twelve hours. She found that Josh was all right, and kissed him goodbye. Secretly she hopes to meet up with him the next time he is in New York City.

Sharon continued to worry about her friend Rayna, when Rayna was discharged from her teaching position at NYU. Using her journalism instincts, she discovered evidence of a Quarryman bias on the NYU campus. Digging further she unearthed commiques between the President of the University and Jon Castaway. However she feared the repercussions, till the day that Keith and she organized the rally. She threatened to expose Jon’s intimate connection with on campus politics. The consequences of her exposes will arise and be explored in a future fanfiction. Now that she is discovering Rayna’s transformation, it does not deter her friendship with the geologist.
