Shilah's Navaho blood is apparent in the duskiness of her skin, her ink-black hair and her dark, almond-shaped eyes. She is not lean per se, but is firm with muscles and has a stalwart hourglass figure.
Clothing - Shilah typically dresses in a modest gown of sturdy cotton. Her necklines tend to be low enough to show just a hint of cleavage, her sleeves typically end at her elbows, and her skirts always skim the ground. She avoids corsets except for special occasions, and owns only one. Her long wavy black hair is usually kept up in a large messy bun.
Starting location - Buffalo Gulch
Skills - Eavesdropping on important conversations, reading, writing, long range shooting though she is no expert, and domestic tasks like cooking and sewing, 
Weaknesses - Any sort of close combat, witnessing any form of cruelty towards animals or children
Weaponry - Spencer rifle
Equipment - A chest in her quarters containing a few dresses, an expensive gold pocket-watch hidden in a book with a false interior, three classic literature novels, two pairs of worn boots, her rifle and an assortment of cheap jewelry and hair accessories. Situated on her bedside table is a bottle of witch hazel, a jar of cold cream, a small pot of rouge, a chipped hand mirror, and a wide-brimmed straw hat embellished with a maroon ribbon.
Personality - Shilah is alert, curious, and while she's usually soft-spoken she enjoys making a witty remark now and then. She appreciates humor and kindness above all things, making her rather unusual in a setting like Buffalo Gulch. However, she has no qualms about putting a hole through somebody's knee (from a distance) if that's what absolutely needs to be done, or if she firmly believes they deserve it.
Biography - Growing up on a Navaho reservation in New Mexico did not provide Shilah with the most joyful childhood. Her mother raised Shilah on her own, and made no mention of her father. Shilah only knew that he was an affluent proprietor of a handful of oil fields. And of course, he was white. Shilah's mother never told her the circumstances surrounding her birth, and Shilah never felt the need to ask. Growing tired of the reservation's destitute monotony, Shilah decided to strike out on her own with whatever meager funds she had earned working as a shopkeeper's assistant. Her mother's uncle, a saloon worker in Buffalo Gulch, found Shilah a job as a housekeeper at the less seedy of its two hotels. Shilah accepted, despite the the town being of extreme ill-repute, because her paltry savings would not afford her a life in most other places. Though she is not conventionally beautiful, Shilah's exotic features sometimes draw unwanted attention, especially at an establishment where the guests were a dangerous mix of crass, brash and aggressive. Because of this, Shilah tries to draw as little attention to herself as possible, and she's good at it.
 Shilah does not enjoy the drudgery of her work but she has a keen interest in the various hotel guests, especially the ones who look more adventurous than usual. Given her penchant for eavesdropping on the conversation of the typically unsavory characters frequenting the hotel, Shilah has extensive knowledge of the going on's of Buffalo Gulch.
