Shirley is a mystical fortune teller whose primary pastime is casting curses on those who defy morality. She despises the greedy, the wrathful and the inhospitable, and subjects them to spells that only repair when their sins are reversed. Ironically, she is very fond of money; charging heavy fees on clients and selling herself on TV are some of the ways she obtains it. This is probably because she is actually poor (as shown in The Curse of Shirley) while living in the outskirts of Nowhere
