Personality
Rather bookish, Shauntal loves to write stories. She is fascinated with her Pokémon, often using them as the muse of inspiration to write, as well as the trainers that she battles.

Story
If the player chooses the "haunted library" room in the Pokémon league, they will find that Shauntal is adding onto her latest book, reading the work aloud. She then notices the player and apologizes for not noticing them; the passage she was working on is based on her last challenger - a young man with a powerful will to see through his ambitions. Concluding her explanation, Shauntal informs the player that they will begin their Pokémon League battle.
