Shamara Payne appears in Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! and briefly in Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!

Her role in Leisure Suit Larry 6 is as the "main objective", being the ultimate focus of Larry's adventures. Shamara is the resident of the penthouse hotel room, and she finds Larry wise beyond his years. Throughout the game, Larry needs to bring her gifts (that Larry just finds as a cheap way to make any girl happy), the meaning of which she reads far more deeply into than Larry could ever intend.

Biography[]

Shamara was a high-level executive for a corporation, but she never says which. She worked hard to earn her position, and all the money that came with it. One day, however, she asked herself if she was truly happy. She was. But, she then wondered if her life actually held any meaning. To seek out the meaning of her life, she left her fancy apartment to her servants, and moved to La Costa Lotta's penthouse to meditate and discover her purpose. She never leaves the penthouse, and gets food and supplies through the dumbwaiter in her room.

Larry manages to make his way to her room through the dumbwaiter, and sees Shamara sitting on the balcony, staring out at the ocean. She asks if he works for the hotel, and Larry says he does. The pair of them chat for a while. Shamara mentions that she hasn't had time for men due to her workaholic nature, and is looking for someone to fulfill her spiritually.

Over the course of the game, Larry gets different items from each of the ladies he encounters. He gives them as gifts to Shamara. Shamara feels that Larry is giving her physical symbols that represent different parts of life. For example, the pearl earring from the encounter with Char Donay somehow represents needing to accept the irritants in life, and layer them with love and strength to turn them into something positive (like the way pearls are formed within oysters.) Shamara is overjoyed and tells Larry how thoughtful and deep he is.

After giving her the last item, Larry offers a bottle of champagne to Shamara. She agrees to have a drink with him, and asks how she can repay him for helping her achieve enlightenment. Larry, of course, brings up sex. Shamara admits that she is still a virgin, as her drive to succeed during college and her job made her avoid dating. Larry is happy to hear this, and assures Shamara that he is there to "help" however he can. The two of them drink the champagne, and make love all night.

Unfortunately, in the intro to Love for Sail!, Larry's lack of skill in bed gives Shamara more time to think. She realizes that the most important thing to her is her money. She handcuffs Larry to the bed, and puts a lit cigarette in his mouth. She leaves him alone in the penthouse, and is never seen again.
