Shirl Ravenlock is a fictional character from Terry Brooks' best-selling fantasy novel The Sword of Shannara. Shirl is the daughter of the ruler of the city of Kern, though she is reluctant to consider herself a 'princess'. Shirl is drugged and abducted by a villain in the story and unwittingly rescued by the hero, Menion Leah, who mistakes her for someone else.
Shirl later joins Menion and his companions on their journey to defend the city of Tyrsis against the advancing armies of the Warlock Lord. She also figures into a subplot involving the current ruler of Tyrsis, Prince Palance, who is smitten with her.
Shirl later comforts Menion over his guilt for not being able to protect his friend Shea Ohmsford. She also admits to him that she has fallen in love with him. Sometime after the war, Menion and Shirl marry.
Brooks also makes note at the end of First King of Shannara that Shirl is the descendant of Kinson Ravenlock and Mareth.
