Who is Shiv Roy in Succession?
The political daughter · The Roys
Shiv Roy (The political daughter) is a character in Succession, part of The Roys. Siobhan Roy went into politics partly because it wasn't the family business — a strategist for exactly the kind of liberal candidates her father's networks exist to destroy. The distance is the point, and also the pose: Shiv is the cleverest of the siblings and the most certain she's the least damaged, both of which are load-bearing illusions. She's marrying Tom, who adores her from one rung below, and circling the family question she swears she's not asking.
