## Personality

Haley has a strong personality, as most call it. She is a generous person and is always willing to put herself on the line for the sake of someone else.

When energetic, she tends to behave rather impulsively, talking erratically and with little awareness of what she's saying or doing. Her friends find the behavior endearing, while some of her classmates might just find it annoying.

She has the tendency to become depressed as well, and typically behaves in a much more reserved way than usual. Haley doesn't like people to see her this way and will often stay home from school just to avoid being around people.

## Appearance

Haley Heller is a teen with dark brown hair, brown eyes, and Caucasian skin. She is pear-shaped, with wide hips and thicker legs. Her hair is wavy and thick, even when straightened, and is naturally very curly. She often styles it, trying to straighten it, but it still comes out with some wave. She rarely shows her natural hair.

Haley often dresses in reds, pinks, and maroons, being her signature color. She also likes to wear a pair of leather ankle boots.

## History

Haley was born in Vega City to Flora and Rob Heller. Her mother was Italian-American, while her father was Jewish. Her father met her mother through her Uncle Leone, as the two both worked in the music industry. While Leone found success as a musician, directing a small orchestra and later becoming a teacher at Vega City University, Rob was less successful and fell back on a career in sales. He was largely unhappy with his career but continued to follow his passion of music as a hobby.

Flora struggled with bipolar disorder and became very depressed after Haley's birth and was often hospitalized because of her mental state. Because of this Haley grew very dependent on her father to be a pillar of support when her mother was unstable.

In the fifth grade, Haley joined the school orchestra and began to learn to play the cello. This hobby allowed her to take more time with her father, who would help her practice the cello.

Despite her family's avid love of music, Haley's skills never stood out in spite of all her hard work. When her Uncle Leone helped set up an audition to join the Ostinata School of Music, she failed to join the school. She was greatly disappointed, feeling her future as a musician was impossible. Her father helped comfort her, claiming he experienced the same failure. The two continued to explore music as a hobby, Haley taking more interest in listening to music than playing it.

Rob gave her his old record player and vinyl records and she began to collect records. She took an interest in the idea of being a DJ and assembling mixes and playlists. When she began high school at Celestia Public High School, she joined the AV Club where she worked on the school's radio and occasionally the School News.

Haley continues to play music as a student at Celestia Public High School. Through orchestra, she met and befriended Beau Jackson, the pair sticking closely to each other through freshman and sophomore year.

By Junior year, she had a close group of friends and was content. However, while her parents went out of town together, the Vega City HQ exploded causing the bridge above to collapse. Her parents, who were crossing with many other drivers, were caught in the blast, their car falling into the ravine below. Haley's father died in the incident, but her mother survived, becoming paralyzed from the waist down.
