Coming a long way from her stoner roots, Shaundi has proven herself again and again as one of the sharpest, best-prepared members of the Saints. She uses her planning acumen and technical know-how to keep the The President safe from their (many) would-be assailants.
— The Saints Row website, regarding her background as of Saints Row IV.[22]

Shaundi is a character in Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV, Enter the Dominatrix, How the Saints Save Christmas and Saints Row: Gat out of Hell.

Overview[]

Shaundi is a White, young adult female with sandy brown (Saints Row 2) or dark brunette (Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV) hair and hazel/brown eyes.[23] While Shaundi has been known to do drugs and is witnessed consuming them in Saints Row 2[24], she appears to be very healthy.

In Saints Row 2, Shaundi's chest-length hair is made into sandy brown dreadlocks, and she wears a Women's Camisole 4 in slate grey, light purple bell-bottom jeans, and black and white converse sneakers. Her makeup and accessories consists of a purple bandanna, a black spiked choker necklace, red lipstick, a single silver stud piercing below her lips, silver bangles on her right arm, a studded wristband on her left arm, two rings on her left hand, and a chain-belt. Shaundi also has two tattoos: one on her lower back, and another on her left hand. Shaundi has a lower back tattoo is very similar to Wings 1[25] (although not an exact replica) and her hand tattoo is a Nautical Star.[25]

As of Saints Row: The Third, Shaundi completely changes her appearance and dresses much more professionally in response to the Saints becoming famous icons to the public and her new dating show. Shaundi now has brunette hair that's put into a ponytail that branches off into multiple flocks, while a side fringe of hair waves freely in front of her face. Shaundi's new outfit consists of a purple crop top that's a lighter shade of purple and has the ST initials in game and exposes her midriff region, a black leather jacket with short sleeves that also exposes her midriff region, skin-tight purple pants that look to be made of Latex or Lycra and lowers slightly in the front, and a pair of black belt-buckled high-heeled boots. Her makeup and accessories consist of a pair of silver earrings, a plain black choker necklace, purple painted finger nails, and a silver chain belt. Shaundi has gotten rid of her old lower back tattoo,[26] but she still has her Nautical Star tattoo on her left hand, which she keeps throughout the entire series.

In Saints Row IV, there are two Shaundis, with a third Shaundi introduced in How the Saints Save Christmas. There is Saints Row: The Third Shaundi, Saints Row 2 "Fun" Shaundi, and "Future" Shaundi. "Fun" Shaundi is only present in the simulation and not real, while Saints Row: The Third Shaundi and "Future" Shaundi exist in the real world.

Shaundi looks very similar to how she appears in Saints Row: The Third. While in the White Crib serving as the Director of the Secret Service, Shaundi wears her brunette hair in a large bun with pearls on the back and braids wrapped at the base, and her side fringe of hair is still present. Her outfit consists of a black blazer done up, but the top opens out which exposes her cleavage, a matching skirt that goes down to just above her knees, a pair of tights, and a set of black pointed high heels. Her makeup and accessories consists of a pair of pearl stud earrings, a silver necklace, and her fingernails are still painted purple like they were in Saints Row: The Third. on The Ship, Shaundi loses her blazer, skirt, and tights, and, like the other Saints, wears a skin-tight blue Zin spacesuit. Like her blazer, Shaundi's spacesuit is opened out slightly as she leaves her zipper down and leaves her cleavage exposed. Shaundi still wears her makeup and accessories the same as she did in the White Crib and she still has her black high heels.

Within the simulation during "De Plane Boss" and until halfway through "Psychosomatic", Shaundi's outfit is the same outfit she wears back in Saints Row: The Third, except for her lower back tattoo,[27] even when wearing her super outfit.[28] Upon getting halfway through "Psychosomatic", however, Shaundi's outfit from the previous game is replaced with black and purple leather midriff, skin-tight black and purple pants that are padded and have two holsters, and black knee-high high-heeled boots. Shaundi's hair is pulled back into a wavy ponytail with her side fringe remaining present. Her makeup and accessories consist of her black choker necklace from Saints Row: The Third, purple gloves that go up to just below the elbows with the Saints fleur-de-lis icon adorned near the top, and a belt with the Saints fleur-de-lis icon.

The Saints Row 2 Shaundi wears attire similar to the game she hailed from. "Fun Shaundi", as she is referred to in Saints Row IV,[Reference needed] wears a slate grey midriff/camisole, very low-riding light-purple bell-bottom jeans, and different vollies/converse-style wedge sneakers. Her hair is chest-length and made into sandy brown dreadlocks. Fun Shaundi also wears the same makeup and accessories from Saints Row 2, wearing her purple bandana, black spiked choker necklace, red lipstick, single silver stud piercing below her lips, silver bangles on her right arm, studded wristband on her left arm, 2 rings on her left hand, and a chain-belt. Fun Shaundi's lower back tattoo that similar to the Wings 1[25] and Nautical Star[25] hand tattoo are both present as it was back in Saints Row 2. Fun Shaundi is also a lot more slender in body shape before she matured. Unlike the real Shaundi and all other Super Saints, Fun Shaundi has no Super Outfit and retains her default outfit.

The Future Shaundi in How the Saints Save Christmas has suffered very serious injuries from fighting Twinkle and RoboRudolph. Her right arm is now a bionic arm, her left eye has been replaced with a bionic eye, and a burn is present around her right kidney area. She also has a surgical ring in the middle of her head, with a surgical seal to the right of her head. Future Shaundi's hair is like how she had it back in Saints Row 2 and is made into sandy brown dreadlocks, but, as a result of the surgery on the right side of her head, the dreadlocks are only present on the left side of her head. Her outfit is a light-purple top that's almost hanging off her left shoulder with some black and purple padding on the right shoulder held by straps around her waist and neck, skin-tight black pants very similar to Shaundi's Super Saint pants without a right holster with some greenish tint showing great use and damage, and a pair of elevated platform boots. Future Shaundi's makeup and accessories consists of her black choker necklace that her present-day self wears from Saints Row: The Third and in the simulation, and her fingernails appear to be painted black. Future Shaundi has a lower back tattoo that is mostly hidden in her pants that looks similar to the tattoo Shaundi had in Saints Row 2,[29] and her Nautical Star[25] on her left hand.

Attitude-wise, Shaundi's demeanor shifted drastically between Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third. Shaundi in Saints Row 2 (or Fun Shaundi in Saints Row IV) seemed to embody rebellion, drug abuse, and amoralism. Occasionally in her presence, Playa would witness her doing drugs.[24] Shaundi also had a nonchalant, sarcastic, mellow attitude throughout Saints Row 2 and, while generally being weak in combat, she wasn't non-violent, having wielded weapons. She has many connections and friends within the drug business, and appeared to have extensive knowledge on many aspects of the Loa Dust drug, which leads Playa to meeting her.

Between Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, Shaundi matures emotionally and in terms of combat skill compared to the drugged-out, apathetic, hedonistic "hippie" archetype she was originally attributed. Shaundi has become much more sensible, and takes her tasks very seriously. Shaundi expresses her feelings very strongly, and has no problem with demeaning other people, regardless if they're friends or not. Unlike in Saints Row 2, Shaundi is no longer a weaker combatant and has no problem engaging in physical violence or killing other people. Shaundi has also become something of a sex symbol, getting her own dating show called "I Wanna Sleep with Shaundi". In one of the Planet Saints advertisements, she also joins Pierce in advertising the Saints Sleeve (which he describes as the future of Jimmy Hats and also had input from Shaundi herself during development). Lastly, the nude Virtual Vixen image of her that appears in Boytoy magazines continues to appear over five years later in Saints Row IV.

In Saints Row IV, Shaundi reveals in her Audio Logs that part of her reason for no longer having fun or feeling happy and becoming very aggressive and vengeful in Saints Row: The Third was because of Johnny being "killed" on the plane,[4] and her feelings that he didn't deserve to die. Shaundi also states in her Audio Logs that it was her fault, despite Johnny telling her and Playa to escape, hinting that Shaundi suffered survivor's guilt as a result: this might pose a reason as to why Shaundi continues to change emotionally on all levels throughout Saints Row: The Third, even amongst the fame and status achieved by being prominent in the Saints. She even states that her inability to protect herself and needing Playa to protect her was what led to his death. Even though Playa tries to tell her that it wasn't her fault, she's convinced she's to blame.[30]

Shaundi's apparent large-scale self-reinvention between Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third was a heavy topic in Saints Row IV during De Plane Boss and Psychosomatic, where she discovers her former self in her simulation and expresses hate for all of the old traits and behavior she used to exhibit, possibly explaining the change in physical appearance, maturated attitude, and always being sober. Shaundi does come to terms with her younger self after bickering and competition due to their new-found superpowers.

It is somewhat implied that Shaundi is heavily regretful of past events, her old reputation, and embarrassed of what people might think about her being an elite gang-member/celebrity whilst having living evidence of her delinquent, immoral, drug-clouded past before the 3rd Street Saints hit stardom as of Saints Row: The Third. This is especially apparent when Shaundi is speaking to Fun Shaundi at the end of "De Plane Boss", where she stated that she "used to be useless", and also states that her most memorable moment was getting captured while being smoked up and "fucking half of Stilwater."

Biography[]

Shaundi grew up with older siblings and parents that were busy with work. Christmas was her favorite time of year as it was the one time when the whole family got together. As she got older, her siblings moved away and her parents divorced. She still believed in Santa, later saying "I needed Santa"[16] and that she'd never had a good Christmas after her family left, as she was either stoned or "with awful boyfriends who never really cared".[31]

Shaundi was once a student at Stilwater University[32], during which she visited Steelport while on spring break.[33] She had relations with countless men, including Steelport's famous pimp Zimos[34], and frequently mentions "one of my exes" as her source of information.[35] She also served a brief stint in prison, where she met Laura[36] and Johnny Gat[37].

She was a big fan of Keith David and had a crush on him; she was also a fan of the film They Live, which she mistook for a realistic film.[38][39]

In the future, she'd regret a number of her boyfriends and say that they never really cared about her.[31] She'd particularly regret Veteran Child, who threw a limited edition Feed Dogs vinyl on the fire once.[40] They dated when he was already a high-ranking Sons of Samedi member.[41]

Saints Row 2[]

Shaundi becomes a member of the Saints after Playa impresses her with some Stunt Jumps.[42] She is later made a lieutenant and put in charge of gathering information on the Sons of Samedi,[43] a job she is initially reluctant to undertake.

She quickly begins undermining the Sons of Samedi's drug operations by learning the recipe for replicating Loa Dust, with the assistance of Playa and Laura, and telling the gang the location of the Samedi's main drug farm.[41] The Sons of Samedi, angry at the attack on their business, send DJ Veteran Child (who told her about the farm when they were dating) to deal with the problem.[44] Veteran Child finds Shaundi alone in the Saints Hideout, and, after knocking her out, kidnaps her and takes her to On Track, a dance club.[45] Once Playa arrives, Veteran Child tries to use the hostage lieutenant as a shield, but Playa finds a way to take him out and helps Shaundi out of the club, leaving the DJ's corpse on the dance floor.[45]

As Veteran Child had bested her, Playa doubted Shaundi's ability to hold her own. It isn't until she announces her plan to bug the city's traffic cameras that Playa allows her to come along, due to the fact that Playa has no idea how to hack into the police computer.[46]

Once the Saints track The General down, Shaundi and Playa attack him at the Rounds Square Shopping Center, fighting their way through dozens of The General's gang members before finally taking out the Sons of Samedi leader.[47]

She also assists against the Brotherhood, much to the annoyance of Pierce, as she keeps getting the tactician role ahead of him. One time, she gives Playa intelligence that Pierce told her about.[48][49]

Shaundi is unlocked as a Homie after completing the Sons of Samedi arc. When she is called using the Cellphone, she arrives in a Voyage, wielding a K6 Krukov.

Saints Row: The Third[]

Five years[50] after the Saints conquered Stilwater, the former hippie has become more focused, both on the Saints and her celebrity status. In line with the expansion of the Saints' brand, she now has moved from drug trafficking to having her own TV dating show and a new look that is distinctly more professional than her previous bohemian style.[Reference needed] She attributes her new focus and sobriety to her new reality show, "I Wanna Sleep with Shaundi"; she simply didn't have the time to smoke up anymore.[51]

Her main obsession after arriving in Steelport[4] is destroying The Syndicate, the loss of Johnny having affected her deeply and continues to do so for the rest of the game, prioritizing his revenge against Loren. As the Saints settle into Steelport, Shaundi becomes angry with how long it is taking to find and kill Phillipe Loren, and, when informed about Powder by Playa, she was threatening to burn it to the ground, much to Playa's surprise. When they get there, Pierce and Playa arguing about entering the place pushes Shaundi's patience to her limit and she quickly shoots the guards before leading the way to the back. Shaundi hacks the computer in the building to get the details, while Playa and Pierce deal with the Morningstar.[52] Afterwards, the three Saints return to the Saints HQ to load up on weapons before heading to the Syndicate Tower to kill Loren, proving successful thanks to Playa's quick thinking. Before they leave, Shaundi tells the crew that they should destroy the building to send a message, although Oleg Kirrlov reasons that keeping the building would be useful.[53]

After killing Loren, the Saints head back to Stilwater to deal with Johnny's funeral, but are ambushed by Killbane's Luchadores, angering Shaundi again, and she goes with Playa and Pierce to help get others, although she gets annoyed by the fact that their first new recruit,Kinzie Kensington, is a former FBI agent. After Kinzie is rescued, Shaundi gets her to safety.[54]

When Pierce throws a party, Shaundi threatens to kill him over the phone, annoyed that they are partying while the Syndicate is still out there, and that Playa was defending him. When at the party, she gets close to losing her cool with Pierce and Zimos, and when Playa and Pierce tell her that she needs to move on, she storms out frustrated at the other Saints' seeming lack of compassion.[55]

Shaundi spends her time in Steelport assisting Playa in bringing down the Syndicate and, when Kinzie informs her and Playa about Killbane tarnishing the Saints' reputation, the two of them track down Killbane and Shaundi almost assassinated him, but Matt Miller hit their chopper with an EMP and crashed their helicopter.[56] She also has to deal with watching Josh Birk after he is kidnapped from under STAG's watch, much to her displeasure.[57]

When Shaundi gets kidnapped by STAG,[58] Playa has surgery in an attempt to rescue Shaundi, taking on the appearance of Cyrus Temple, and travels to Thermopylae, taking Pierce and Viola DeWynter as "captives". The four escape, but not before blowing up the aircraft carrier, angering STAG and making them instate martial law in the city.[59]

Later, Playa receives a call from Angel De LaMuerte. Killbane is at the airport, fleeing the city. Halfway through the call another call comes through, this one from Kia, informing them that Shaundi and Viola are strapped to bombs at the base of the Steelport monument, and that she plans to kill them in the explosion so that when their bodies are found, the Saints will be viewed as terrorists. The player must choose between saving the girls or annihilating the last member of the Syndicate.[60]

Endings[]

Kill Killbane

If Killbane is killed at the airport, Shaundi, Viola, and Burt Reynolds are killed in the explosion. The Saints hold a wake for Shaundi and their other fallen comrades at the Broken Shillelagh, which is interrupted when STAG starts levelling Steelport with the Daedalus.[61]

Save Shaundi

If Shaundi is saved, along with Viola and Burt Reynolds, they travel to the Magarac Island where the three are being held. After disabling the bombs and fighting through waves of STAG soldiers, Playa reaches Kia at the top of the statue, who holds Shaundi as a Human Shield. Playa however, is able to kill Kia and save the hostages, and leaves with Shaundi and Pierce to go film Gangstas in Space.

The Save Shaundi ending was stated by the head writer to be the canonical ending to the game.[3] The events of Saints Row IV continue from this ending.[62]

Saints Row IV[]

Shaundi appears in the Saints Row IV "Crossing the Delaware" teaser image[1], and a Twitter post from Steve Jaros confirms that it is her.[2] In the "War For Humanity" trailer, Shaundi steps out of her old "Saints Row 2 self" in a virtual reality simulation.

At the start of the game, Playa, Shaundi and Pierce join with Asha Odekar on a counter-terrorist operation to take out Cyrus Temple, who has since gone rogue. Playa managed to kill Cyrus before attempting to disable the nuke he launched. Believing Playa intended to sacrifice themselves, Kinzie suggested they say their final goodbyes. Shaundi told her friend that when they first met, she was just a girl in dreadlocks but Playa saw her as more than that.[62]

5 years later[63], while Playa is President of the United States, Shaundi is part of the cabinet, with her role being the "Director of Secret Service". Just as Playa was about to attend a press conference to deal with public relations after a verbal misstep, Shaundi informs Playa of a pending alien invasion, immediately before it occurs. Playa and Shaundi attempt to rescue Kinzie as she is abducted by Emperor Zinyak, but Secret Service pin Playa to the floor while Shaundi is captured by Zinyak.[64]

Shaundi is placed in her own virtual nightmare by the Zin, being forced to relive her failure to save Johnny Gat. As Playa arrived in her simulation to rescue her, the virtual Gat comes back as a zombie, forcing her to kill it. Zinyak then sends her into another nightmare, where she is back in her old stoner appearance, being held hostage by Veteran Child. After defeating Veteran Child, Saints Row: The Third Shaundi emerges from Fun Shaundi. The Shaundis start arguing before being broken up by Playa.[30]

During Psychosomatic, Shaundi has requested aid from Playa to help deal with Veteran Child, but Fun Shaundi convinces Playa to go after some Alien Narcotics to help power-up all 3 of them before going after him, much to Saints Row: The Third Shaundi's displeasure. Fun Shaundi only leads them to some 'knock off' drugs and tells Playa to go to the docks for one last attempt before going after Veteran Child. After a while of taking the second batch of drugs, both Shaundis gain Super Powers and Playa's Powers are enhanced. The 2 Shaundis start to get along with each other and then get into a race before finally getting into a short duel before finally going after Veteran Child. The Saints fight off mascots before Veteran Child drops copies of himself down to deal with group, and soon both Shaundis go to remove the shield protecting the real Veteran Child. After the last lot of clones are defeated, Playa goes to deal with Veteran Child only to have him split into 2 copies and point a gun at each of the Shaundis, but they both disarm them and shoots both copies of Veteran Child.

The two Shaundis get on well during the rest of the game, and talk about old times in Stilwater.[65] Shaundi admits she sometimes misses her dreadlocks for their ease of maintenance,[66] while the simulated Julius Little (who dislikes Fun Shaundi)[67] and Benjamin King is surprised at how different the two Shaundis are.[68][69] Fun Shaundi remarks to Gat that she's surprised how she became uptight; he says she's "not so bad".[70]

When left alone with Gat, Shaundi admits she felt responsible for his "death" by not going back for him and is terrified that she'll have to see him die again; he comforts her, telling her it wouldn't have been her fault.[71]

Enter the Dominatrix[]

When "deleted scenes" from the cut DLC for Saints Row: The Third called Enter the Dominatrix are found, Jane Valderamma interviews the Saints on The Ship to talk about the DLC and what was cut from Saints Row IV. Shaundi shows dislike towards the Enter the Dominatrix project, and also for the fact that it followed the STAG Film ending where Pierce became Mayor of Steelport, in which Shaundi was dead.[72]

Following the Kill Killbane ending - although Shaundi is still alive - she along with Playa, Kinzie and Nyte Blayde fight off attacking Zin Forces led by Zinyak who attack the 3 Count crib. Josh is killed while fighting off a giant one eyed alien, and dies in Shaundi's arms, which distresses her, although that was how Josh viewed it.[73]

After the defeat of the Zin leader Zinyak, an AI known as The Dominatrix captures the Saints and puts them in a simulation of Steelport. Shaundi is captured by the Dominatrix who splits into different parts. Donnie attempts to rescue Shaundi but is captured in the process, which leads to Playa having to rescue them both.[74]

Shaundi helps the Saints defeat the Dominatrix eventually killing her. Pierce arrives with an army of Raptors to help the Saints escape, and the Saints meet their King, Cirano. When he asks each Saint what he can grant them, Shaundi asks Cirano if she can become his queen, which he accepts.[75]

How the Saints Save Christmas[]

Shaundi wrote a letter to Santa admitting that she hadn't always been a good girl but was hoping she'd changed this year. Her only wish was that he'd give Fun Shaundi the best Christmas she'd ever had: she'd realised that she needed to accept her past self and that it would've meant a lot for the younger Shaundi to get a proper gift.[31]

CID asked Santa to download Fun Shaundi into his mind so he could have someone to talk to.[31]

Future Shaundi - head shot

Future Shaundi.

A future version of Shaundi appeared from the future to warn the Saints about an evil warlord called Clawz who is threatening to destroy Christmas. In her timeline Clawz brainwashed the children of Earth into working for him, captured the adult population, and burned the Earth on New Year's Eve 2013. Shaundi had been forewarned by the elf Tinsel and was able to assemble an elite team of Johnny Gat, Kinzie, and Playa (who spent the first 20 minutes laughing in her face at the idea of an evil Santa). Unfortunately they were found and captured; Shaundi lost an arm to Clawz' lieutenant Twinkle and watched Johnny die.[16]

Shaundi and the other Saints (minus Playa) were put to work in the mines. She now had a robotic arm to enable her to work.[16]

After years of slavery, the Saints started a worker uprising and Shaundi personally beat Twinkle to death. She lost an eye in the Battle of Santa's Workshop (a round from her Crimson Cowboy ricocheted) but the rebels were victorious. However, Clawz had already left to tear his way through the rest of the universe. The Saints salvaged Zinyak's time machine and sent Shaundi back to the day before Clawz took the Pole; Pierce chose her as the one who'd lost the most to Clawz ("plus if she doesn't come back, we still have everybody important").[16]

Shaundi arrived while the Saints were putting up Christmas decorations and informed them off the situation. Playa criticized her for not going back further and warn them about Zinyak, but future Shaundi armlocks Playa, declaring that Clawz is a much more dangerous threat.[76] Another reason, kept to herself, was because if they hadn't been abducted they would never have rescued Johnny.[16]

Future Shaundi works alongside Playa in helping to eliminate Clawz, but also warns them to behave and not commit naughty deeds, but they ignore her and results in Clawz appearing and calls upon Gingerbread Men and Toy Soldiers to attack them both.[77] Both make it to Clawz and after Playa injuries themselves from a failed attack against Clawz, Future Shaundi spots Santa and she worriedly asks him about his condition, the North Pole, as well as Mrs. Claus.

She repeatedly tells Playa not to use bad language in front of Santa.[78] As a result, Future Shaundi never swears in front of Santa and tells Playa this, although Santa reassures her that "naughty words aren't naughty deeds". She recounts during the game about the horrific war against Clawz, which has cost her friends, comrades, and her eye and arm.[79] Future Shaundi is reluctant to let Santa carry on without her when told to stay guard, and only does so after Santa tells her than he needs her to do wait for him. She pleads with Santa not to forget her, which he follows through the promise when Playa and him go after Clawz, prompting Mrs. Claus to go get her.[79]

Future Shaundi contacts Playa while they are delivering presents throughout Steelport and warns them of the weather working against them. As soon as Playa gets shot down by Clawz, Future Shaundi alongside Mrs. Claus reunites with them to help deal with Clawz.[80]

HTSSC Saints posing

Both Future Shaundi and Shaundi and the rest of the Saints celebrating Christmas.

After Clawz is defeated, Future Shaundi celebrates Christmas with the Saints (including present day Shaundi) in "the most glorious montage the world had ever seen".[80], but she soon returns to her time of 2035. To her annoyance, the future Saints had forgotten she was going to come through it and had stuck it in a museum which was closed for the holidays. After breaking out (and worrying that Johnny might still be dead), she found the Saints waiting at her home to throw a surprise Christmas party - and that since she'd changed time, there was another version of herself living there.[16]

Playa asked Santa to give Shaundi whatever she wanted. (He also asked to double-check CID's list)[31]

  • When Male Voice 1 has been drugged during the mission Pimps Up, Hos Down and is stumbling naked through the brothel, one of the remarks from among many he can make is: "So this is what it feels like to be Shaundi" However, Shaundi no longer does drugs, and Playa had already been drugged in Saints Row 2.[100]
  • At the end of Saints Row: The Third, when saving Shaundi and Viola, explosive Flashbangs/Fart in a Jar must be thrown at at Kia while she holds Shaundi as a Human Shield, which is almost exactly the same thing that needs to be done to save Shaundi in the Veteran Child mission in Saints Row 2, when she is captured by Veteran Child except that Flashbangs are used.[101]
  • Shaundi is both the first Homie unlocked and also the first Unlockable in Saints Row: The Third, but you cannot call her up as a Homie until after Party Time.
    • When called as a Homie, Shaundi arrives in a purple Torch.[102]
  • When Shaundi is called as a Homie, she reveals that Josh Birk sends her autographed photos, which she then sells online.
  • Male Voice 2 and Female Voice 1 show sexual attraction to Shaundi in several lines of dialogue, such as saying how Shaundi would look sexy or cute if she was a maid.[103]
  • Due to Johnny Gat's death, Shaundi becomes hostile, even to friends like Pierce in Trojan Whores and Viola when called as a Homie, although that's reasonable due to Viola's involvement in Johnny's death.
  • When Three Way becomes available, Shaundi, as well as Viola and Burt Reynolds cannot be called as Homie on the Cellphone until both endings have been played.
  • No one has ever made it past the final round of "I Wanna Sleep with Shaundi".[Reference needed]
  • Some artwork and promotional images shows Shaundi carrying weapons such as the Beretta M9/92[104], or the AK-74M.[105]
  • Shaundi does not have good relationships with the other female lieutenants in Saints Row: The Third. Viola is a former member of the Morningstar and played a role in Johnny's death.[107] Kinzie spies on Shaundi's phone calls[108] and Kinzie's technological expertise eclipses Shaundi's own expertise, although Shaundi does the hacking during Assault on Precinct 31 in Saints Row 2 and during Hit the Powder Room in Saints Row: The Third; she is also able to identify UAV drone controls on sight during We're Going to Need Guns.
  • Shaundi uses a TEK Z-10 when called in as a Homie. She also uses a 45 Shepherd[4][52][57], a K-8 Krukov[96][53] and the Viper Laser Rifle.[11]
  • The Prima strategy guide reveals several alternate storylines for Shaundi:
    • Shaundi was not there for the entire game and was in Mexico filming "I Wanna Sleep with Shaundi".[109]
    • At the end of the game she was to unwittingly go on a date with Killbane without his mask on.[109]
    • Shaundi had a more detailed storyline in which her more aggressive and hard-edged personality arose as a result of Survivor's guilt and Depression.[109]
    • After saving Shaundi and Viola, after the closing credits Shaundi is at Gat's grave, upset that the Saints let Killbane get away and have gone back to being celebrities again, she is then recruited by Cyrus and joins STAG.[110]
  • Despite being affected by Johnny's death, Shaundi is not in the DLC mission, Send in the Clones.

Saints Row IV[]

  • Unlike in Saints Row 2 and Saints Row: The Third, Shaundi doesn't get kidnapped, but she still gets abducted along with the rest of the cabinet and needs to be rescued by Playa.
  • Shaundi is more levelheaded and friendly among Saints than she was in Saints Row: The Third, but becomes aggressive towards her Saints Row 2 self during De Plane Boss, due to her memories of being kidnapped, and sleeping with most people in Stilwater and other things, although becomes more friendly to her old self during Psychosomatic when they get their Super Powers and defeats Veteran Child.
  • Shaundi mentions in her Audio Logs that she changed a lot after she stopped the drugs and got her own dating show, and how she never fully recovered from Johnny Gat's death. The Audio logs and the mission De Plane Boss even reveal that she blamed herself for his death.
    • In Gat and Shaundi's Homie Conversation, Shaundi remarks how she could saved him from being captured.[71]
  • By completing missions for the Saints Row 2 Shaundi, you can unlock her Retro outfit.
  • Shaundi uses a SWAT SMG when called in as a Homie, and uses the Dominator during All Hands on Deck, as well during Grand Finale Part Three if Shaundi and Pierce are selected.
    • Shaundi is the only Saint to use the Dominator during gameplay outside The Simulation and Grand Finale. If she is also selected alongside Pierce during Grand Finale Part Three, she is the only Saint/Ally outside The Simulation that uses the Dominator twice.
  • Some artwork and promotional images shows Shaundi carrying weapons such as the MP7[111], or the M16[112]
  • Though Shaundi is described as part of the cabinet, Director of Secret Service was not a cabinet-level office as of Saints Row IV's release in 2013. However, the President can elevate certain offices to cabinet status with congressional approval.
  • There is a bust of Shaundi in the White Crib.[64][113]
  • Shaundi is initially not aware that Playa's government has been invading people's privacy, and is surprised when Kinzie and Keith David reveal the truth, but Kinzie doesn't tell Shaundi about what or who they were monitoring, claiming that it would be treason.[114]
  • Unlike all the other Romance options with the female Saints/Allies, Playa actually has a decent conversation with Shaundi before asking her out on a 'date' instead of just blatantly asking to have sex with her. This shows that Playa and Shaundi have a good deal of respect between one another, although that's possibly because Shaundi has been in the Saints longer than most people and have known each other for a while.
    • When Playa told Shaundi that she never gave Playa a shot of being with her, Shaundi replied that "You never asked for one".
    • It's revealed that Puerto Rican Thunder God was the winner of "I wanna Sleep with Shaundi" when doing the Romance option with her.
  • Shaundi's conversations about her Saints Row 2 self varies from bad to good. She directly expresses hatred towards her old self in De Plane Boss and sometimes outside The Simulation when talking to her, and during Psychosomatic, but that changes during the mission when they get their Super Powers and works together in killing Veteran Child. In Shaundi and Fun Shaundi's Homie conversation, they talk about the fun times she had.
    • Shaundi's wishlist in her Letter to Santa to Santa is for her Saints Row 2 self to have a happy Christmas due to her rough past, and even reveals that her parents split up.
    • If Shaundi and Pierce are selected during Grand Finale Part Two when you have to open the portals, Shaundi asks what will happen to her Saints Row 2 self, stating that "She kinda liked having a younger sister around", and when Playa asks about Kinzie being that sister, Shaundi replies "Whatever, she has Asha to latch onto now".
    • Also if Shaundi and Pierce are selected during Grand Finale Part Two, Shaundi's portal releases the Sons of Samedi, although there are no Samedi apart from Veteran Child in Shaundi's nightmare simulation.
  • Unlike any other Saint, Shaundi has to suffer from 2 nightmares in her Simulation instead of just 1 during De Plane Boss. The first being when Johnny was killed on Loren's Plane and the second being when she was her old Saints Row 2 self, being kidnapped by Veteran Child.
    • Shaundi is also different from any other Saint in that because Shaundi has a Simulation version of herself from Saints Row 2 existing as a program (Fun Shaundi), then there's her real living self being subjected to the Simulation, and then there's Future Shaundi introduced in How the Saints Save Christmas. All 3 can be present at the same time.
    • Both Shaundi and Fun Shaundi are unlocked and upgraded simultaneously to each other, De Plane Boss unlocks both of them and Psychosomatic unlocks their Super Powers, but only Shaundi gets a Super Homie outfit while Fun Shaundi keeps her normal outfit.
    • Unlike all other Super Homies, Fun Shaundi can turn on Playa if hit by friendly fire.
  • Shaundi's idle actions on The Ship include using one of the consoles on the bridge or in the Simulation pod room, sitting on the walkway rails, or looking out of the bridge.
    • After completing Hello Teacup, Shaundi permanently remains in the Simulation pod room using the console.
  • Shaundi is the longest active female Saint and one of two female Saints that's still alive and active along with Kinzie.
  • As of Saints Row IV, Shaundi is the only living character without a known last name.
  • Shaundi's Loyalty Mission, Psychosomatic, was removed from the Australian version of Saints Row IV after the original version of the game was refused classification due to illegal drug use giving a positive outcome. As a result, both Shaundis gain Super Powers as soon as they are recruited, and Veteran Child is immediately reconstructed as an ally within The Simulation.
    • This means that in the Australian version of Saints Row IV, Shaundi is 1 of 2 Homies that is upgraded into a Super Homie via storyline progression, and not through an optional Loyalty Quest, the other being Keith David.
  • Future Shaundi is a part of a separate timeline,[77], and has gone to the present day to fix her past.
  • Unlike the other Saints who are part of the cabinet, Shaundi never wears purple clothes outside The Simulation, but she does have her fingernails painted purple.
    • Additionally, Shaundi is the only female who does not appear to wear any clothes under her spacesuit (a trait shared with Johnny) as opposed to Kinzie with her purple hoodie and Asha with her suit, as the only upper body clothing Shaundi was wearing in the White Crib was her blazer.
  • Although Future Shaundi comes from 2035 (which would mean she'd be at least over 40)[16], she does not appear to have aged in almost any way when compared to how she appears in the present. The only physical changes are her larger breast size and bionic arm and eye augmentations, but the augmentations were a result of injuries.[16]
  • Shaundi and Saints Row 2/Fun Shaundi are referred to as Shaundi (Steelport) and Shaundi (Stilwater) respectively in their Audio Logs on The Ship.
