Shelby Wyatt was a NAT, at the Academy where she had a friendship with her roommate Alex Parrish.
In the flash-forward scenes, she is still in the FBI, but no longer a recruit.
After being taken hostage by Alex, she reveals that she also believes Alex is innocent.
After the surrounding controversy of her relationship with Clayton was publicized in the testimony at the congressional hearing in Alex, her status as an agent was revoked.
However, later in the events of Yes, she is re-instated to work again as an agent by the FBI.

Shelby Wyatt is a southern belle turned FBI firearms specialist.
While Shelby looks (and sometimes plays) the part of the sweet debutante, she was orphaned at the age of 16 and that gives her a tough center.
Hardened by tragedy and the secrets her family hid from her, Shelby arrives at Quantico to find a real and seemingly lasting friendship in her roommate, Alex, but after the Grand Central bombing, the two appear to be adversaries.
What kind of bad blood must have gone down between the former best friends?
Shelby has a lustful, very fun and wild affair with Caleb Haas, but lust doesn't spell love for Miss Wyatt, or so she says.
Shelby has many skeletons in her closet, and she won't be able to conceal them from her NAT classmates for long, especially Alex.
After the bombing, the two, whether they like it or not, will need each other in order to discover the truth.

Shelby Wyatt was raised in Augusta, Georgia by a wealthy family.
She was featured on a few hunting magazines after she had become famous hunting with her father.
When Shelby was a young girl, only 16, she was stripped of her parents in the tragedy that was 9/11.
She had her heart set on joining the FBI to prevent other children from being stripped of their parents the same way she was in her youth.
