Meet Sham

There's no way around it - Sham is a crankypants. He complains often, gets snippy with his friends, and is usually in a grumpy mood. Despite his generally surly demeanor, Sham is an important part of the Jabloo crew, and his friends still want him around.

Sham is a doubter, and he doubts himself most of all. When one of his friends has an idea for a game, a project, or an adventure, Sham is often the one who speaks up against their idea, and has to be persuaded to change his mind and participate. Once he's joined in, however, Sham is likely to reluctantly admit that he's having fun - and might even say that he was wrong to complain in the first place.

Sham's passion is music, and his favorite genre is orchestral music. This is because Sham plays the trombone, and though he's still learning, he's able to play quite well. He especially loves doing loud slides on the instrument, which he will sometimes use to punctuate one of his friends' comments or actions. It takes some effort, but Sham tends to warm up to a situation once his initial concerns have been overcome, and he can relax and enjoy being part of the group's activities.
