Spencer Shay

Spencer Shay is a fairly creative artist and older brother/protective guardian of Carly Shay. He's a clumsy, down-on-his-luck artist whose stroke of fame came due to a freak accident.

He's an immature sweetie, but will act his age and status when the time is appropriate.

Early life
Spencer Shay was born on November 11, 1981. He was raised in the Seattle area.

When he was 10, he was babysat by 15-year-old Jenna Hamilton. He was very rambunctious, not wanting to go to bed and, instead, wanting to watch Full House featuring Dave Coulier.

Spencer also collected Pee Wee Babies, wanted to be friends with Weird Al Yankovic, and was attracted to "that hot chick from Saved By the Bell". In 1993, Spencer wrote a letter to his future self in 2011 and buried it in the Bushwell Plaza flower garden.

"I was in the eighth grade. My body was just starting to change... Coach Berferd took our whole class on a field trip to the Peckinpah trail. And just as dusk fell, I saw it. A beavecoon, a creature about yay wide and yay long. It had the head of a beaver and the body of a raccoon. Yes, and it looked at me and went... KKGGGGGHH!!"

In the 9th grade, possibly around 1996, Spencer started to pull pranks all the time. At first once or twice per weekend, but steadily grew to become a daily occurrence. This all culminated on a perfect autumn Tuesday when 200 pounds of garlic powder rained down on his fellow classmates, which brought forth suffering and stung eyes. After this incident, Spencer vowed to never ever pull another prank.

In 10th grade, Spencer invented a dance move called "The Firecracker", He also once played "Man in Suit" in a school play. He still owns it to this day, but it's pretty tight to wear.

In 1999, Spencer graduated from Ridgeway High School.

Miscellaneous past stuff
"I once met a freaky rabbi in Vegas."

Right before iCarly
Spencer attended law school for three days but dropped out to pursue his dreams of becoming an artist, a decision that wasn't looked at positively. Right before iCarly ended, Spencer had not revealed this information to his father.
