Biography
Prior to Oceanic Flight 815
Shannon's father, Adam Rutherford, died in a car accident caused by Jack's future wife. Her step-mother, Sabrina, told Shannon that her father didn't have a will, so she would receive none of his money. Shannon asked for money to help her to move to New York, where she received an internship at Martha Graham Dance Company, but Sabrina refuses. When step-brother Boone attempts to give her money, Shannon turns him down.
Because of her step-mother's exclusion of her from the family money, Shannon cons Boone into giving her large sums of money, frequently through his "buying out" of her abusive boyfriends. It was one such con which brought both of them to Australia and which was the reason they were on Oceanic Flight 815. Shannon's Australian boyfriend however, steals the money from her, leaving her no choice but to go back to Boone. The night before they left on Oceanic Flight 815, Shannon seduced and slept with him.
During his attempt to get Australian authorities to do something about Shannon's supposed abusive relationship, Boone reveals that Shannon was married at one time but is not any longer.
Shannon lived in various places around the world, including France, Australia and the United States. This might have been in part to Shannon's numerous romantic relationships, which contributed to her ability to speak some French (French boyfriend), and tie knots (sailor boyfriend).
On the island
Since coming to the island, Shannon does her best to keep everyone at arm's length, frequently behaving selfishly and being manipulative to get what she wants. When Boone explained to her the job of firing the flare gun to triangulate the power source, she appeared indifferent to the importance of the task. She also has an inferior streak, believing that she is useless. However, her knowledge of French proved useful, as it allows her to translate Rousseau's distress signal for the benefit of other survivors.
In addition, Sayid breaks through to her while attempting to decode French words on Rousseau's maps, and they begin developing a romantic relationship. She goes on a romantic walk with Sayid in which she tells him that they "need to take it slow"; when she returns to the survivor's camp she is informed that her brother Boone has died. Shannon blames John Locke for Boone's death, and when Sayid refuses to kill Locke for her and interferes with her own attempt to kill Locke, their relationship takes a turn for the worse. Walt gives her his dog when he leaves on the raft, so that she can talk to (and bond with) Vincent and work out her grief. Shannon and Sayid later rekindle their relationship when he returns from saving Aaron Littleton.
After the Others attack the rafters and kidnap Walt, Shannon sees a vision of the young boy dripping wet and speaking backwards. She soon after explains to the other survivors what she saw. Many don't believe her. Later, in the episode "Abandoned" she and Sayid have a romantic evening and sleep with each other. When she was left alone briefly, Walt appears to her a second time. When she tells Sayid he does not believe her and claims she has just had a nightmare. Their relationship is strained because of this. Shannon decides to track Walt down by getting Vincent to sniff through some of Walt's clothes. They went into the jungle and Sayid follows. Sayid's mind is changed when both of them see Walt. As Shannon runs toward the image of Walt, she bursts in front of the tailies. Ana Lucia mistakes her for one of the Others and shoots her in the abdomen. She suffers the same fate as her step-brother and dies. Her last breaths are taken in Sayid's arms, who in the coming weeks, grows a desire for revenge against The Others. Shannon is buried next to her step-brother in "What Kate Did ".
