Character Name: Shannon Beiste
Series: Glee
Timeline: Just after A Very Glee Christmas

Character Background:
Shannon Beiste is, if nothing else, a kick-ass high school football coach. It is for this reason that Principal Figgins hires her and cuts the budgets of the school’s two other major fixtures: the cheerios and the glee club. Understandably, the faculty advisors for these clubs are a little upset. And a little immature.
Sue Sylvester and Will Schuester team up and begin making every effort to muscle Coach Beiste out of her job. They order vast amounts of pizza and have it delivered to the locker room during a practice—of course, Shannon just makes her team eat four slices and then run until they puke, but the hurt is pretty evident on her face. High school is a cruel place, but you’ve got to hope that once you’re an adult it’s better, right?
Turns out not everyone is so lucky. When Shannon goes to have lunch the next day, Sue makes it very clear that she wants nothing to do with her, and Will similarly gives her the cold shoulder. Coach Beiste tells him that everyone told her that he was really cool, but it’s obvious that isn’t true—he’s just a bully like Sue.
Thankfully, Will eventually turns around—but not until after Shannon has booted her quarterback off the team. Finn only wanted to give Artie, the kid in a wheelchair, a chance to play on the team like anyone else. Sadly, with all the bullying that’s been going on, Coach Beiste is quick on the trigger and assumes they’re just trying to screw with her. She cuts Finn from the team and screams at the two of them to leave.
Of course, they’re both on the team shortly after this. Maybe it’s Will’s kindness and acceptance, maybe it’s just been long enough for her to cool off, but eventually she relents and allows Finn and Artie to suit up. Which just gives Finn the perfect positioning to suggest that Sam, the team’s new quarterback, picture her when he doesn’t want to jizz in his pants.
…Yeah.
Shannon’s pretty hurt when she finds out that various members of her football team and the glee club are using her as a cooling-off technique, enough so that she decides to actually quit. Sue’s pretty pleased about this, but when Will hears about it he’s quick to reassure her. In a slightly patronizing way, he tells her that the only reason she’s never been kissed is because her heart is too big for most guys. He kisses her, and then gets the guys to sing a song to her, which (despite kind of scowling the whole time) she seems to like.
Christmas rolls around, and apparently Coach Beiste is the only adult the glee clubbers know who can play a convincing Santa Claus. After being mildly offended by this assertion, she agrees to talk to Brittany about how Santa can’t make her boyfriend walk, and therein vaguely describes how she was once a husky little girl who just wanted to be like everyone else. She tells Brittany that she put being husky to good use, though, and though she’s disappointed, Brittany seems to finally get it. Considering this happens at the same time that Sue is pulling a massive Grinch routine that ruins Beiste’s Secret Santa for the faculty, it may not be surprising that Beiste can’t leave it at that. She performs a Christmas miracle, purchasing a Rewalk for Artie and leaving it at Brittany’s house in secret.
Abilites/Special Powers: Tickets to the gun show?
Third-Person Sample:
That Brittany girl had some problems, sure. Beiste had eyes and she knew how to use them, as if the Santa thing wasn’t enough of a sign. But something told her that there was more going on there than anyone was likely to see.
Sure, Beiste could just as easily dismiss all the girl’s problems because she was one of the “pretty” ones. She might’ve, when she was back in high school. But now that she’d lived a lotta years and learned a lotta things, she knew everybody had their own baggage. And that poor Brittany girl, well. If all she had to cling to was Santa, he might as well be real, right?
Or as close to it.
Beiste lucked out that they’d left the door open again. The damn thing cost way more than she’d really anticipated so there was no way she was leaving it on the goddamn porch until somebody found it. Although the fact that she could steal in and leave the Rewalk by the tree kind of meant anybody could walk in and steal it back out again. Still, it looked a lot more Christmassy there.
She’d even put a bow on it.
She wasn’t sure if it’d work. Hell, the scientists weren’t sure it’d work. But it was something. Santa didn’t go halfway, after all.
She counted herself real lucky that she got to see him using it. Brittany, that sweet girl, she was practically wetting herself she was so excited. And well, Shannon was too—in a different way. She didn’t cry often but, well. It was Christmas. Special occasion and all.
And hey, in a way that club just got their 20% back. And a whole hell of a lot more, not that they’d ever know she was the one who bought it. But that suited her just fine.
First-Person Sample:
[Have some muttering:]
This blackberry piece of crap, how do I—oh.
Uh, hi? Am I coming through okay? Technology’s not exactly my thing so if this is garbled, you know, just holler.
Assuming anyone’s on the other end of this thing…
Gotta be honest, here: I don’t know where I am and if I were the scaring type, I’d be mighty scared right now. Somebody wanna tell me what’s going on?
