## Early life

Rooney lives with her dad, stepmother and stepsister, Quinn. While it's not known when Mr. and Mrs. Forrester got married, we know that Rooney has been friends with Birdie since 6th grade, which might mean that's when she and her father moved to Attaway.

Rooney used to be in a relationship with Henry, but they broke up the summer prior to season 1. She also discovered photography around the same time.

## Season One

At the start of the season, Rooney is the co-captain of the dance team, but she is kicked off the team for prioritizing the Attaway Appeal, where she is a photographer. Even though she had already broken up with Henry prior to the start of the season, the two continued texting and meeting up. However, eventually Rooney put a stop to it, as she didn't want Henry's new girlfriend, Ellie to be hurt. At the same time, Rooney had started to hang out with Hamilton. At the end of the season, however, Henry told Hamilton about him and Rooney hanging out, which made Hamilton angry.

## Season Two

In season 2, Rooney is still a photographer for the Attaway Appeal. After some conflicts and resolutions, her and Hamilton get together and start dating.

## Season Three

Rooney finds out that Birdie was the one who sprayed the Attaway sign and not Robbie. She tries to get Birdie to turn herself in, but Birdie doesn't listen. When Birdie got into a car crash, Rooney kept blaming herself because she didn't go after her when she ran away.

## Season Four

In season 4, Rooney is still a part of the Attaway Appeal. She took some shots of Drake, Rhyme's ex-boyfriend, for an article. They kissed at Rooney's Sweet 16 party. Rhyme was mad that Rooney didn't tell her about liking Drake. After some drama between the girls, they got back together like the old times. At the end of the season, Stephanie confessed to Rooney that she liked her and had a hard time watching her and Drake. Then they kissed and the story is left on a cliff-hanger.

## Season Five

Rooney encourages Birdie to sign up for drivers ed. Birdie is not sure if she wants to do it, but Rooney promises her that she'll be with her every step of the way, but she doesn't keep her promise and never shows up to any of the classes, leaving Birdie all alone.

Stephanie has been ignoring Rooney because she promised Mel that she would cut all contact with her. Rooney confronts Stephanie about ignoring her.

Stephanie breaks up with Mel and starts dating Rooney. Rooney has a bit of a hard time coming out to everyone but she secretly comes out to her sister, Quinn. At the end of the season, it is proven that Rooney is happy to be with Stephanie.

## Season Six
