Personallity: Melody is a sweet, shy introvert. She doesn't like it when people fight especially when it is people that she loves. She has a beautiful voice and is always singing. She loves hanging out with her friends. She isn't very open to others except for her mom and her close friends.

Home Life: Melody lives with her mom and her five year old sister, June, in an apartment. It has been even tougher for the family now because Melody's dad died a month ago. His last words to Melody and June were "Stay strong, angels." Another problem is that her mom can barley afford to support the three of them because she works for minimum wage at the candy store as a custodian. Her mom really wants to be an author, but publisher don't like her work. Her sister, June, is very naive, and just started kindergarten. She doesn't understand that her family is poor and is the sunshine int the house. But after their dad died, June was very sad. She remembered her dad's words and matured a lot. Even so, June is very bubbly and energetic. Because of her many problems at school and home, every night Melody silently cries out her problems remembering her dad's last words.

School Status: Even though Melody is a cheerleader, she is not that popular because she isn't very outgoing. She doesn't talk much to people who aren't close to her so everyone thinks that she is weird.

Grades: She is an A and B student. Her favorite subject is Science.

Cheerleading stunts- Usually the flier(the person they lift in the air) because she is so small. She can do cartwheels, one handed cartwheels, round-offs, and back handsprings.

Boyfriend: Her boyfriend's name is Dylan. Other than her mom, he is the only one who knows all of her secrets. If she ever has a problem, he is the first one that she will tell. She feels like her other friends don't understand her as much as he does. They have been dating for almost one whole year. She loves him, but she hasn't told him yet. She is scared of what he might say. Dylan would do anything for Melody. He doesn't like seeing her hurt. He also loves her, but he is waiting for Melody to say the words.

Relationship with other cheerleading friends: She loves her friends, but she doesn't like to talk about her home life with them much. She has told them that her dad died, but she doesn't tell them about their struggle for money.

Favorite color: Green

Favorite animal: Parrot

Favorite food: Strawberries

Favorite music genre: Pop

Favorite movie genre: comedy or mystery

Her role in the story: This is just a suggestion, but if you do end up using my character, she could take the Seddie side and stay with her Seddie friends, but on the inside she doesn't like seeing her friends fight and she doesn't want them to have a fan war.
