Well, from what I can see, shy characters are more introspective, meaning they reflect inner emotions more than expressing themselves. This means heavy descriptions and less dialogue. Instead of having the character interact with other characters, have her observe from afar until you think she is able to tackle a social convention herself. Or, you could force her into situations by having more outspoken characters approach her. But whatever you do, be sure to describe the character's thoughts and emotions. She has a tough time with social interactions, so if she's forced into one, have her be bashful, and don't give her a lot of speaking lines. Let her observations do the talking. Hope this helps, and isn't just me rambling!
