personality
| FUN-LOVING | SOCIAL | FLIRTY | TIME BOMB | HUGGER |
Overall, Metro loves to have fun more than anything. It's like there's a void inside her that has to be filled with good times (including wild parties that she sometimes throws for the hell of it). Generally, she's happy people, always smiling, always joking. It's very easy for her to make friends because she's rather social. But of course, that doesn't mean she doesn't get angry. She just bottles up that anger until she can't hold it in anymore. Then there's no telling what she'll do when the metaphorical bottle finally opens.
One of her favorite things to do that doesn't directly involve music is flirt. Oh, how she loves playing with those boys! The problem is that she really doesn't see the effect she has on some of them; she just does it for the fun of it. There are very few people she's actually wanted legit relationships with, and she's never been in one her entire life. It's a shocker to most people who don't know her. Though she is very touchy-feely, in the sense that even if she only sort-of knows you, she'll run up and hug you if she sees you somewhere outside of school. Seriously. You're lucky if you're a guy and she doesn't ask you for a piggyback ride.
The one time that she really feels calm is when she's on stage, singing. She has, like, the exact opposite of stage fright. It's like she's a totally different person when she's up there in front of people. It's slightly different than when she just randomly bursts out singing in the halls or something (because that does happen); where she sees that as in front of friends, this is in front of an audience where it matters most.
past Dizzy Cross was a member of the band Intersections with his two brothers, Dancer and Daytime. As silly as thier stage names were, it didn't hinder their popularity, and after hitting it big with a fairly large record company, they became famous all throughout the country. They had many fun times with many different women, but one very special one caught the lead singer's eye.
Lizzy Abel had followed Intersections from the start. They began as a local group in Lizzy's area, and she was in love from the start. He didn't notice her until much later, but once he did, they were in love.
A few weeks later, she was pregnant.
A few months later, Metrodora Hayden was born.
But did they ever get married?
Nope.
They were one of those couples that lived together for years and never really got around to marrying. Metro didn't mind; she was way too busy being the craziest kid EVER. From early on, she was singing and hugging and doing pretty much all the stuff she does now, apart from drinking and occasional drug use when it comes about. They loved her, though, and raised her in a rock star lifestyle.
When Metro turned 10, the band wound it's way doen to retirement. Dizzy and Lizzy wanted to take the rest of the time left in her childhood to raise her right, though it was too late. She was already a wild child.
present They settled down in New York City, which is a bit of an oxymoron considering, but it worked out fine for them. It was almost too easy to step out of the spotlight and into the Ice Palace. Metro currently lives there, but has a dorm at Baum Academy, as well. her parents have given her permission to get tattoos, throw crazy parties, drink, and pretty much anything parents really shouldn't allow their kids to do.
Metro is very social still and is popular at school with a lot of crowds, seeing as she really doesn't judge by appearence or status. She has formed her own band for which she does lead vocals. HER BEST FRIEND EVER does guitar and some vocals, and they are currently looking for a full-time drummer. Between singing and throwing CRAZY parties that her family approves of, it's surprising that she ever catches a break.

...literature*
book title The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
backstory OH LOOK THE STORY IS ON THE INTERNET
But anyways. Katrina Van Tassel is the daughter of the rich farmer Baltus Van Tassel, and they live in, you guessed it, Sleepy Hollow. Brom Bones and Ichabod Crane are feuding over her love, right? Well, Brom is a strong, cocky, and rich mofo, while Ichabod is is a measly little music teacher. Well, Katrina invites Ichabod to a party, right? But of course, while leaving that party, Ichabod is chased by the creepy Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, supposedly a Hessian who got his head shot off with a cannon during the American Revolution. Ichabod DISAPPEARS MYSTERIOUSLY after this, never to be seen again. Which, by default, leaves Katrina to marry the arrogant rich guy.
BUT WAIT.
Brom had that look on his face, as was described, of knowing when Ichabod's story was told. Leading to a sketchy conclusion that the Horseman was actually BROM BONES IN DISGUISE!
Crazy, right? I know.
