Hailey Jensen

**Hailey Jensen** is a main character in the first and second seasons of the AwesomenessTV drama series ***t@gged***. She is best friends with Rowan Fricks and dated Sean McCauley. She was a student at Hilland High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the United States, before she left town and went to California to live with her grandmother.

## Physical Appearance

Hailey is a beautiful girl with tanned white skin, long, wavy, blonde hair with light blonde streaks, and blue eyes. She is of an average height and has an athletic figure. She often wears casual clothing in light colors such as white, blue, and pink, and was often seen in crop-tops with jean-shorts or sweatpants.

## Personality

At the beginning of the series, Hailey was, on the outside, a bubbly, outgoing popular girl who loved hanging out with her friends and partying, all while on the inside hiding a prescription pill problem. As the drama with Monkeyman worsened, so did her drug addiction, to the point where when Rowan found pills in her hoodie pocket, Hailey blamed them on Rowan's sister, Brie Fricks, out of fear of getting caught. Her addiction came to a head upon witnessing Dunbar Rakes kill himself, which traumatized her so severely that she accidentally overdosed on pills in an attempt to escape from the powerful emotions she was feeling.

Upon returning from rehab, it was obvious that Hailey was still struggling with the aftermath of being tormented by Monkeyman and witnessing Dunbar's suicide, as her personality had become apathetic in the midst of her depression. She went from being a straight-A student to failing all of her classes and had seemingly given up on her dreams, instead fantasizing about running away to California with Sean McCauley. She even nearly relapsed at one point, only being stopped by the timely intervention of Hawk Carter, her new tutor whose tough-love attitude seemed to wake Hailey up from her fog. It wasn't until the two went to tag a mural together that Hailey admitted she was starting to feel alive again, which got her back in to working on school and rebuilding her friendships.

Unfortunately, this small reprieve would not last, as the remaining members of The Zoo reformed into a group based on the Mr. Empty legend and began terrorizing the girls for a third time, leading Hailey to flee from her hometown to California where her grandmother lived, explaining to Rowan and Elisia that she wasn't strong like they were and that she could no longer endure the torment targeted at them. As stated by Elisia, Hailey's first instinct is always to run rather than to fight or quietly endure the abuse like her friends.

Though she's not as much of an investigator as Rowan is, she possesses a great level of street-smarts, especially when it comes to social media, allowing her to find Elisia Brown' side accounts on Snapchat based on a mistake Elisia made in the comments. She also demonstrated a love for theater and for singing, with even Hawk joking that Hailey should be a professional singer rather than wasting her time in school. Like Rowan, she also has a gift for art, as evidenced by the doodles in her notebooks, the tagging she did with Hawk, and the StagHead mask she made for Rowan's undercover operation into The Zoo.

At first, Hailey was somewhat insecure and easy to push around, which was made clear when she didn't step in to defend Rowan when Nicki, Sean, and Brandon were making fun of her for still being a virgin, or when she didn't intervene when Nicki created a mean Instagram account of all of the "loser" boys who tried out for Romeo in the school play *Romeo and Juliet*, the latter of which played a huge role in the girls being targeted by Monkeyman and The Zoo throughout the series. However, Hailey matured a great deal throughout the series and was shown to be a much kinder and more forgiving person.

* Ep 1
In Rewind,

Upon her introduction into the series, Hailey appeared to be a popular, outgoing, happy, and a little rebellious young woman who was friends with the other popular kids in their grade, Nicki Sullivan, her boyfriend Sean, and his best friends Brandon Darrow and Trevor Askill. However, it was soon made clear that this personality is just an act put on for those around her, and in truth, she is quiet, anxious, shy and somewhat insecure; as a result of her anxiety coupled with the immense amount of control her mother has over her day-to-day activities led her to become dependent on drugs, specifically anti-anxiety medications such as Xanax and painkillers such as Roxicet.

This secret made her a target of Monkeyman, who tormented her, along with her former best friend Rowan Fricks and her new acquaintance, Elisia Brown. Hailey's life began to spiral when it came to light that she had been drugging her mother's drinks in order to get back her electronic devices and to sneak out of the house unnoticed, yet another shot fired at the three girls in retaliation for the wrongs Monkeyman was convinced they had done to him.

After Monkeyman (revealed to be Dunbar Rakes) killed himself in front of Rowan, Hailey, Elisia, and several others, Hailey seemed to have dealt with the post-traumatic stress in the most severe way and ultimately overdosed on pills and nearly died between Season 1 and Season 2. This event was a wake-up call for Hailey's mother, who immediately sent her to a rehabilitation center out of town for two months while she recovered, although her actions after Hailey returned implied that she did not quite understand the nature of addiction as well as she'd like (e.g. pushing her to try out for *Twelfth Night* despite her obvious emotional exhaustion.

She continued to suffer from depression and general apathy throughout the second season, her trauma pushing her to avoid the possibility of a second Monkeyman at all costs and instead spending a lot of time with Sean McCauley. However, after a few weeks of tutoring from Hawk (as well as some tough love), Hailey began to "wake up" and rejoin the world again, which included involving herself in the plan to expose King Cobra. Unfortunately, upon seeing the new iteration of King Cobra after Brandon Darrow's arrest, Hailey was too traumatized to go through this all a third time and left for California, staying with her grandmother and trying to start over in a place with less horrifying memories, though she did keep occasional contact with Rowan and Elisia through texts on an anonymous number.
