Shauna

Shauna is the new station manager of TSTV, and a minor antagonist throughout the first half of season 19.

Personality
Shauna is a dedicated, if vain and unstable individual who clearly cares a lot about her job, although possibly not for the right reasons. She wants the station to be the best that it can be and inherently dislikes anyone who she perceives as holding the station back (namely, Down to Film).

Shauna is devoted to her job, finding genuine joy in handing out activity reports and hazard announcements. However, she does not respond well to people questioning her authority. She is quick to anger and has been observed doing counting exercises and yoga to calm herself. She's especially aggressive towards anyone who asks questions about what happened to the previous station manager, Peter.

Shauna is also incredibly vain, and very susceptible to flattery. This can be seen in her relationship with Terry, where she gives him special treatment in return for his constant ass-kissing.

The First Producers Meeting
Shauna is first introduced when she walks in on Down to Film's crew meeting, asking for Rich. When she finds him, she drags the confused EP to the semester's first Producers Meeting. There, she introduces herself as the station's new manager and, after deflecting a question about Peter, gets down to business.

Throughout the meeting, Shauna shows favor to Terry and his show while growing increasingly frustrated by Rich's apparently disrespectful attitude. This culminates in her lunging at Rich when he asks another question about Peter, causing the other producers to hold her back and giving Rich time to escape. At the end of the first episode, she is seen finding and confiscating the FANNTM phone, an act that seems to delight her immensely.

The FANNTM Phone Heist
When Daisy and Charlie discover the FANNTM phone in Shauna's office, Shauna walks in on the two while they're

coming up with a plan to steal it. When asking what the two freshmen are doing, they quickly excuse themselves and runoff. Later, Wyly attempts to distract Shauna while Lola breaks into her office, and the two become engaged in an intense debate on whether dogs or cats are better.

Shauna catches Lola attempting to break in, however, and calls her, Daisy, and Wyly into her office to be chastised. Shauna's disciplining is cut short, however, when Terry bursts in and tells her that there's something happening in the studio that she needs to see.

Reluctant at first, Shauna follows Terry, who shows her Rich performing his monologue. The two laugh at Rich, with Shauna taking genuine delight in his embarrassment. When she returns to her office, she doesn't notice the missing FANNTM Phone and seems to forget why she was punishing the three crew members in the first place. She sends them on their way, still laughing to herself about Rich.

The Aftermath of the Live Show
Following Down to Film's "success" during the live show competition, Shauna develops an intense romantic and sexual obsession with Rich, seemingly admiring his newly acquired status and power. This is shown when she puts an entire Producers Meeting on hold to wait for him, only to shower him with praise when he shows up drunk. She's also shown being very dismissive and aggressive towards Terry, her previous "golden boy." When Rich bails on the Producers Meeting, she seems genuinely disappointed, then swoons over him after he's left.

Relationships
Terry: Shauna has Terry wrapped around her little finger, and that's the way she likes it. She seems to enjoy basking in his constant flattery up until the live show competition when her attention shifts to Rich.

Rich: At the start of the season, Shauna detests Rich, seeing him as incompetent and annoying. However, she changes her town once he gains some social standing, she becomes obsessed with him.

Notes and Trivia

 * The character of Shauna was not initially intended to be a villain, being written in the show bible as a devoted worker who needs to act like a hardass to get things done. It was only after Nikki Beck's casting in the role that the character was solidified as a villain.
 * The name "Shauna" was originally a reference to Sean Dolan, the actual Station Manager of TSTV at the time. This comparison was abandoned upon the character's shift into villainy, as Sean Dolan is, in reality, a stand-up guy.
 * Shauna's references to Peter were also an allusion to Peter Corrao, TSTV's prior station manager.
