There is a Widow's
Peak first edition Shana, which, has a widow's peak and her skin is
a bit lighter toned. It also seems to me that the Widow's peak Shana
has longer hair, though I can't say for sure. (Since a few people have
asked, I'll explain -basically a widow's peak has to do with the hair,
when the hair line dips down slightly in the middle of the forehead, making
the face have a heart-like shape to it.
There are also two different make-up schemes, both
are found on the non-widow's-peak version, and only the latter is found
on the widow's peak version. The
first scheme is of slightly metallic, pink toned sheer eyeshadow.
The second scheme has more opaque and whiter eyeshadow, with the under-eye
shadow extending further down the cheeks. (thanks to Jeff for pointing
this out!)
There is a Mexican Shana,
who basically comes with her first edition outfit, with earrings!

She shares the same face mold as Synergy
and Stormer
Shana started out (in doll form) as a bass guitar
player named Aria. The name changed to Chandra, and then finally
to Shana.
She was not originally one of Jacqui Benton's foster
daughters.
At some point was named Beverly (see this
site for proof!)
