Sheila is a fictional character in the vehicle action series Vigilante 8.

Overview

Sheila is Convoy's often rebellious niece. It was never revealed what happened to her actual parents, but nevertheless she loved her uncle like an actual father. When Convoy put together the Vigilantes, Sheila desperately wanted to join, but her uncle refused to include her. Unfazed, she secretly built up a vehicle to help out (she may have been helped out by John Torque). After catching up with Convoy, he was furious with her at first, but let her join anyway.

Prior to the events of Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense, Sheila lived a normal life with Convoy and his new wife, Houston. Unfortunately for Sheila, Convoy was more stern than she had hoped for, and she didn't enjoy pumping gas for Convoy's oil business. Thus, on her 18th birthday, Sheila was shipped off to California for a better education. However, a few months later, Sheila was forced to put her studies on hold when she discovered that Convoy and Houston were missing. Even more shocking for her was the discovery of the Coyote auto gang resurfacing with a new leader at the helm. She drove to New Mexico without hesitation.

Endings

In her V8 ending, Sheila is victorious, but an angry Convoy drives off and leaves her behind. Devastated, she walks down a highway when she hears a truck pulling up beside her. She looks to see Convoy waiting for her to step inside. She gets in the truck to find Houston with him as well, as the three drive off into the distance.

In her V8: 2nd Offense ending, Sheila graduates from the FBI Academy. After tossing her grad hat up in the air, she opens an FBI file containing Molo's criminal record and a note from Chassey Blue wishing her luck as Sheila proceeds with her first mission.

Due to Sheila being a DLC character, she does not have a Quest in Vigilante 8: Arcade.

Trivia

• Sheila is one of three characters who keep their Special Weapon throughout all three installments of Vigilante 8. The others are Molo and Boogie.
