Shelley Marsh is a recurring antagonist (sometimes an anti-heroine) in the long-running adult animated series South Park. She is the thirteen-year-old (formerly twelve-year-old) daughter and eldest child of Randy and Sharon Marsh, the older sister of Stan Marsh, and is often portrayed as a violent bully, though on rare occasions she can show a kinder side, although this seldom lasts long. While earlier seasons of the show often portrayed her as a violent bully who loved to beat up her younger brother, later seasons have focused on Shelley's dominative and assertive personality, as well as her relationship with her father Randy.

Shelly is named after, and based upon, Trey Parker's older sister, Shelley Parker.

She was previously voiced by the late Mary Kay Bergman in Series 1-3, Mona Marshall (who also played Krailoni in Disney's Treasure Planet) and Eliza Schneider. She is currently voiced by April Stewart.

Personality[]

Though she doesn't seem like a complex character, Shelley Marsh has more about her upon first glance than many would assume. In the early seasons of the show, she was often portrayed as Stan Marsh's personal antagonist, often beating up and humiltiating the boy on many occasions, much to her personal and somewhat sadistic enjoyment. However, deep down, she does truly care about her brother, and in her debut episode "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", Shelley lied to her and Stan's parents, Randy and Sharon, about the mutant Stan clone that was running rampant throughout the town of South Park about the clone being Stan's fault to protect him (though at the end of the episode, she goes back to beating him up). In "Cat Orgy", when having to babysit Eric Cartman for the night, she reveals to the obese child that, after being dumped by her 22-year-old boyfriend Skyler Morse for refusing to have sex with him, she's actually insecure about her looks and how no one likes her school, possibly revealing that deep down, Shelley wants to change and become a better person, but is either too unsure or scared to do anything about it. In "Pre-School", when out of options on how to deal with the bully Trent Boyett, Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman go to Shelley for help, and she vows to protect the boys from Trent on the condition that they come clean about who caused the fire that caused the boys' preschool teacher, Miss Claridge, from burning up. This shows that Shelley may care about the way her brother is growing up and wants to teach him about taking responsibility for his actions.

Family[]

Stan Marsh[]

Stan is Shelly's younger brother. She used to beat him up much of the time, but was not seen doing so for a time. She did start punching him repeatedly in "Over Logging", however, when she thought of how her online boyfriend might worry for her if they could no longer e-mail each other. To date, this episode is the only instance in which her violence towards Stan is noticed by their parents, as Randy then runs over and tells Shelly to calm down. Shelly and Stan may have resolved their sibling rivalry, as Shelly has not shown any violence towards Stan since "Over Logging". In "PC Principal Final Justice", she threatens to shoot Stan, blaming him for Randy and Sharon's disregard for her, in favor of him.

Sharon Marsh[]

Sharon is Shelly's mother. Of all the grownups in the family, Shelly seems closest to Sharon. In Season 1, Sharon doesn't care if Shelly abuses her brother Stan. In "Over Logging", however, Sharon forces her daughter to turn off the computer. In California, she scolds Shelly for snatching Stan's tickets. In "PC Principal Final Justice" she accuses Sharon of favoring Stan over her.

Randy Marsh[]

Randy is Shelly's father. He is usually seen interacting with Stan, but he and Shelly have spoken to each other several times. She was frustrated by Randy recording ridiculously everyday family antics, saying "Turn it off, Dad!".

Their relationship has deteriorated quite a bit over the years. Shelly accused Randy of not trying to get to know her in "PC Principal Final Justice". Things between the two become even more strained once the family moves to Tegridy Farms.

Marvin Marsh[]

He is Shelly's paternal grandfather. She seems to love him a lot, because when she thought Stan was trying to kill him, she grew even angrier than usual at him.

Jimbo Kern[]

He is Shelly's uncle. They have never interacted onscreen.

Flo Kimble[]

She was Shelly's maternal great-aunt. Aunt Flo gave Shelly a television/CD player/surround sound home theater for Halloween, before she was killed by the evil goldfish she gave Stan.

Roy[]

Roy was Shelly's step dad. After Sharon divorces Randy in "Clubhouses", she stays with Roy. They stayed together until Sharon dared Randy to have sex with her and they make up. Shelly and Roy never interacted onscreen, as Shelly was absent from "Clubhouses".
