There's always a strong-willed, leader type in the story, as there's always the fun wildcard character. We see this is Luke and Han, Blair and Maniac, etc.

I really loved PoP: The Sands of Time. First game in a long time that I was sad when it was over. The sequel looks badass, it seems much darker, but I'm not sure whether or not you get the dagger of time again.

No, it was a typo. If you had wanted to stretch the word "shame", you'd have written it: shaaaaaame, as to emphasize the "a" sound. Yep, typo. Or someone's name is Shamee, and if that be the case, I feel sorry for them.
:D
