Kim Possible wiki More Detailed history:
Shego is the main adversary for teen heroine Kim Possible. However, before she was on the side of the bad guys, she was originally on the good team. After her brother’s tree house was struck by a multi-coloured comet, with her and her four brothers inside, the siblings each received super powers with an energy glow that the comet possessed. Of course, as with most families with newly discovered super powers, they (well, more like her older brother) decided to form their own group called Team Go, named after the city in which they lived (Go City). Shego always had shaky relations with her brothers, but after crime fighting with them for a few years, as well as after seeing how much fun the bad guys had compared to the good guys, the sole female member of the team decided to ditch the team.
So Shego decided to work for this guy named Dr. Drakken, whose shtick was the usual ‘take over the world’ stereotype most villains fell under. And it was in this job where she met her greatest rival of all, a crime fighting redheaded teen known as Kim Possible. She was the first person to not only be able to keep up with her, but also beat her, something that agitated the green woman, as well as spark interest, and thus began one of the biggest rivalries the young woman has ever had.
Now, it’s difficult to list and sort out everything Shego has done working for Dr. Drakken and fighting Kim Possible and her dopey sidekick. Of course, most of these events were circled around her boss’ attempts to take over the world. To list a few, there was the time she helped her boss steal a nano-tick, which somehow ended up on her rival’s nose. There was also that time she nearly drowned in cheese after her boss tried to terrorize Wisconsin with magma in a building made out of cheese. She was put under mind control due to her unwillingness to cooperate, a mistake her boss learned never to try again. She reunited with her brothers after their powers were stolen, worked with a lady who liked splicing animal genes, partnered up with her boss’ annoying cousin to steal a wheelchair from a paralyzed kid. Not to mention she had her emotions tampered with, and had to deal with her boss trying to take over the world through the magic of rap. The list goes on and on, and the each time it’s in attempts to take over the world, and each time the attempts are thwarted by Kim Possible (or in very rare cases, her sidekick).
The closest Shego and her boss have ever come to taking over the world is when her boss actually tries a legitimately serious idea. Dr. Drakken had made synthodrones, which were basically synthetic human beings made out of some green goop. He not only used them as superior henchman, but also made one in particular to play with Kim’s heart. After receiving toy plans from a popular Japanese toy maker’s jacket (who Shego was ordered to kidnap), he bought out a popular food chain, Bueno Nacho, and sold the toys along with kiddie meals. Of course, these toys ended up being a robot army, and it seemed like success was about to be achieved. But, considering fate hates to see the bad guys win, Kim Possible ends up saving the day, causing Shego to get kicked into an electrical signal tower, which left her with a bad hair day and a trip to jail.
The forth season seas Shego still in jail, along with Dr. Drakken, but it isn't long until she manages to break out and wreak havoc once again. Some notable events that happened to her include: a team-up with her boss's cousin which ended in failure not to mention a temporary bad wardrobe change, teaming up with Junior again and failing...again. Dr. Drakken getting busted out of jail by a GIANT female alien named Warmonga, who was then sent away by Kim's twin brothers and Ron. Her dressing up in a blond wig in attempts to distract the head of a big corporation, piratey adventures, turning good and BFFing with Kim and helping her brothers out (and she went back to being bad, thank G_D), her boss turning into some weird flower-man-thing, an alien invasion, teaming up with Ron to go into outerspace to save both Dr. D and Kim, stopping the alien invasion, and her and her boss being acknowledged as heroes.
Affiliation: Trainer (a really, really, mean trainer...)
Personality: To put it simply, although Shego is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, if you can look beyond the green-tinted skin, personality-wise she is a rather unpleasant individual. Anyone who knows her would vouch for that...so long as she didn't hear them vouching. The woman is the sort who can be easily enraged, and takes no prisoners when in such a testy mood. In fact, her mood swings are so radical one could think of her to be bi-polar, although she is rarely extremely happy. Rather, she can go from being in a relatively good mood to pissed off in under a few seconds, and it would take her awhile to calm herself down. She is rarely rational when she is thrown into her violent rages. Though, unlike her boss, she is actually a clear thinker when her emotions are relaxed, and actually thinks things through and considers the pros and cons of a situation before throwing herself fully into an idea. But despite being slightly more mature than most of the villains of her world, the woman can still be considered rather immature, sinking so low as to give people nicknames to degrade them, and openly bully them in submission.
One notable personality trait that stands out is her sarcasm. Going along with the bitchy persona she has already projected, Shego is a snarky individual, and enjoys making sarcastic comments, even to those who have a higher power than her. It's rather hard to earn her respect, and even though her job is merely a measly sidekick, very rarely does she show any respect. Only if her attention can be held, and a plan actually seems to be working then would her respect be earned. Of course, if said plot fails, the woman would quickly shift positions, even offering a 'told you so.'
The woman is a sadist at heart, and she relishes in the pain of others. However, she has, in the past, voiced concerns about the wildlife (specifically the fish) in a pond that Drakken was sucking up for his weather machine, and once expressed how low it was stealing a wheelchair from the handicapped, but anyone else is an OK-go with her as far as wrong-doing goes. As stated, she is a big bully, and finds faults with every little thing. It's not that Shego's a perfectionist, she just enjoys tickling sore spots to get agitated reactions. She is also easily bored, and can often be found sifting through a magazine or filing her nails whenever something dull and unexciting pops up, such as Dr. D explaining his latest, 'greatest' plan.
However, below her rough exterior, if someone is willing to squint really, really hard, they would find that this woman does have some heart, and actually does have some feelings of affection, or at least she cares a little about certain people and their welfare. However, if one were to vocalize these findings, surely it would be the last thing they'll ever say.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+:
Considering the fact that characters in this game lack their powers, the fact that Shego actually has powers shall be ignored. However, although she's rendered powerless in the literal sense, Shego still possess prowess that makes her able-bodied in hand-to-hand combat. She excels when it comes to the body, and is extremely talented in forms of martial arts. She's incredibly fast, faster than the average woman, and strong as well. Some of this comes from the powers given to her after being struck by a comet, but it also comes from the frequent training and conditioning she underwent to become the best in the business.
And she really is the best in the business. And that business is villainy and thievery. She's been noted as being really quiet, so quiet that her ability to sneak up behind someone has been rivaled to that of a ninja. In fact, it's been explicitly stated that ninjas make more noise than she does. She's also rather clean and well-thought out when it comes to stealing, being nearly untraceable to those unfamiliar with her working habits.
She also makes for a rather good partner during the rare moments when she's agreeable. She may claim to like working on her own, and she does in fact excel on her own as well (she is an extremely independent woman despite her status as a sidekick), but she also knows how to work on a team. She just...chooses not to care about her teammates most of the time. She's reliable when she wants to be.
Shego is also a very intelligent woman. While not entirely book smart (though she did graduate from college with a degree in Child Development), Shego is quick-thinking and, unlike the villains in her world, she actually thinks things through. She's able to see the faults and overall problems and plans, and does in fact point them out. Whether one chooses to listen to her is another story. She has a vague knowledge of technology and can handle it well enough, though her grasp on tech isn't as good as other supervillains. Shego's also street-smart, and knows how to blend in with certain situations despite her...rather obvious skin colour.
Again, she's independent, and is able to function on her own. She doesn't rely on anyone but herself, and doesn't admire or trust anyone but herself.
-:
However, Shego's not entirely perfect. After all, she does somehow manage to be defeated by an unpowered teenage heroine frequently, if not all the time. Part of it has to do with the fact that Shego lets Kim beat her, due to boredom and she doesn't want her only source of excitement to disappear. But, yeah, while she's a skilled fighter, there are others out there who are more skilled than she is. Shego's personality is a major flaw. While she does know how to work on a team, she rarely exercises it and is quick to temper and get annoyed, causing her to just up and leave everyone in the middle of it. While she does express some loyalty, specifically to Dr. Drakken and occasionally Kim Possible, she's selfish and sometimes just sits in the background mocking other people, not doing anything.
She's easily bored, and really quick to temper, and while she's more clear-thinking and forward-thinking than the villains of her world, she also is susceptible to bouts of frustration and anger which often leave to her downfall in fights and clouds up her thinking process. She goes with the flow of battle, and while being able to see faults in other people's plans, sometimes overlooks things in her own thinking process, and her battle style is erratic and not always thought-out.
And while she acts like a big toughie on the outside, Shego is a classic case of a woman who actually does have a soft underbelly hidden deep inside. She has fears though she claims to be fearless (for example, evil Ron was the only person who actually got her to listen out of fear), and she does have people who she cares about, and would be upset about if they really did get hurt. She's also possessive, and while acting more mature than most villains of the series, she also sometimes falls into a simple 'high-school bully' immaturity. She's immature at times and, sometimes, even ignorant about what's going on with certain techno-mumbo jumbo.
She might be the best, most effective villain of the series, but Shego's definitely not perfect.
Her bitchiness also is her downfall, for it keeps others away from her and keeps her from having friends. And though she often claims she doesn't need friends, she does at times get lonely, and in fact craves some kind of human interaction. She just isn't so obvious about it, and thus, it can push people away.

Samples
First Person Sample:
[ANGRY GREEN WOMAN ON SCREEN someone is clearly not pleased.]
Okay, first things first. Who's this "mom" person and why is she telling me to pack clean underwear?
Two. What gives with the Cuddle Buddy reject following me around? Oh wait, excuse me. This "Pokemon".
[Yup. She does the finger quotes. And the camera swirls around to give the viewer a good long view of a rather happy-go-lucky Charmander.]
It's weird. It's not leaving me alone. It has fire coming out from the end of its butt. So, allow me to repeat myself...it's weird. And when I say it's weird, I mean it. I've seen some pretty messed up, doomed-to-fail, whack-job stuff but this...this...orange thing just takes the cake.
And finally, and this question's a real doozy.
[She turns the camera back to her face, and there's some forced, false laughter before her face hardens and becomes scarily serious.]
What the heck happened to my powers? I reaaaally don't like this. Oh no, I don't like this one bit.
Dr. D! This better not be another one of your half-baked schemes where we get sucked into TV-land with who-knows-what. And if it is...where are you so I can kick your butt because I thought we were done with that.
[a pause, and Shego squints her eyes shut with more agitation.]
...man this music is seriously starting to get on my nerves.
Third Person Sample:
While everyone had been paying attention to that Pokemon professor, Shego was doing what she does best when she's not stealing or fighting teenaged do-gooders: ignoring authority. While other people were shuffling towards him to hear what he had to say, Shego decided she wanted absolutely none of that and sat herself on the cold ground, pulling out a nail file to file the invisible tipped metal parts of her gloves.
...and instead of coming in contact with metal, the file tugs on the sleek fabric instead and Shego pauses for a moment, shocked, and slowly contorts her face into that of annoyance and, well, anger. First they take away her powers, and now her secondary source of weaponry was gone?! "AAAARGH! THIS IS SUCH CRAP!" She tugs her glove off her hand and stands up, stomping her foot down as she throws the glove down on the floor with so much force and anger, had it been anything other than measly old fabric, something would have probably broke.
She stomps off to some random location of the town, crossing her arms in a huff and staring up at the sky. She just wanted to be away from these losers and she wanted her freaking powers back! Was that so much to ask? She'd rather put up with Dr. Drakken's crap than sit and listen to some hack of a professor talk about made-up creatures.
Speaking of...there's a quiet sound of footsteps from behind, and Shego swirls around to see...nothing. Well, at first she sees nothing, but looking down she spots one of those weird, dumb-looking creatures looking up at her, holding her glove in its hand. Paw. Claw. ...whatever.
"Chaaar...?" it holds the glove up, wagging its burning tail with some kind of enthusiasm that made Shego want to burst into another fit of rage. But instead, she surprisingly keeps her cool and snatches her useless glove from the...thing. Lacking the glove to hold, the creature tucks its claws behind its back and sways on its feet expectantly.
"The heck do you want, Princess?" Shego snaps, spouting out the first insulting word she could think of. Which is, of course, Princess, because what's more insulting than calling this thing by a nickname she gave her annoying do-gooder foe? The orange creature does nothing and looks up at Shego with a dumb, stupid grin on its dumb lizard face, and Shego rolls her eyes, annoyed.
"Whatever. Just. Quit following me okay?" She turns around again on her heel, and mumbles to herself. "Can't believe I'm talking to some stupid genetically mutated animal. Sheesh." She manages a few paces before looking over her shoulder and...ugh it was still following her.
"I said quit following me." And so it went. Shego wandering around town, trying to lose this loser lizard and instead finding it about five steps behind wherever she went.
...this better not evolve into some kind of a habit. Because it was really starting to get under her skin and all she really wanted to do was be back in the lair. Not some stupid town where everyone's all smiley and cheerful. Ugh, it churned her stomach.
