This set of character bios covers all the members of the Sunnycrest High varsity cheerleading squad. If you've made it this far in this story, you know Chase, Alicia, Caitlin, Lindsey, Victoria and Melissa C. quite well, but there are other squad members who have essentially just been names up to this point. This was an intentional choice since they don't really have any relevance to the plot (aside from Rebecca in the Hell's Kitchen storyline). At first they were just names to me too, only there because cheerleading squads generally have more than six people on them. However, when I write these characters, I can't help but form a picture in my mind of what they look like, and over time I have colored in aspects of their personality even though I know it will most likely never be a factor in the story. Rather than let these details go to waste, I share them here. Hopefully they help paint a picture of Sunnycrest cheer practice the way I've come to visualize it.

  One more thing. I made a cheerleader personality rating system which is incorporated into each bio. This system breaks down into three scales measuring Intelligence, Virtuousness, and Flippancy:

  Dull <=====> Sharp

  Innocent <=====> Sinful

  Carefree <=====> Serious

  Each scale has five notches, and the characters are rated on them between the two extremes. If you've heard of the Meyers-Briggs personality system, this is kind of like that except I made it. Anyways, on with it!

  Everything you could want in a cheerleading captain. Bright, friendly, caring, and imbued with school spirit.

  The daughter of a former Sunnycrest cheer captain, Victoria was long assumed to one day inherit her mother's title, until Alicia pulled off a surprise upset, beating her in a narrow vote at the beginning of this school year. Despite her reputation for being mean, her work ethic, athletic ability, and unshakable confidence cannot be disputed, and have earned her the sometimes-begrudging respect of her squad.

  An elegant and haughty girl, Heather is a good student who can be forceful when it comes to getting her way. Boys consider her a bit of a snob or ice queen. A natural a-type personality, she and Victoria have been hot-and-cold frenemies since elementary school, and she was one of the strongest advocates for Victoria to be squad captain. However, being a bit more socially shrewd than Victoria, she also gets along with Alicia and supports her captaincy, at least outwardly.

Nicknamed Tiffers, she occasionally seems out of place with the rest of the squad due to her dry sense of humor and eccentric, mischievous behavior, however she is also considered friendly and easy to get along with. Some say she isn't all there, others say she is just looking for attention.

  ====C Very Sinful

  C==== Very Carefree

Outgoing and always looking for a good time, she can always liven up a dull evening, but the other girls have learned to keep her on a short leash lest she go too far and get them all in trouble. Likes to dress in flashy but girly styles, and her purple hair is a part of this image. She and Lindsey are the only girls on the squad to have spent a night in jail.

  Height: 5'7'

  Hair: Black

  Eyes: Green

  =C=== Dull

  =C=== Carefree

  An early bloomer, as well as an abundant one. At age twelve, people thought she was a high schooler, and at seventeen, she is frequently mistaken for a woman in her twenties. Brittany's looks have made her the target of jealous rumors of promiscuity since middle school. As a result, though she still possesses a calm confidence with boys, she has grown to be overly reserved with them, out of fear of doing something to get people talking.
