Personality: Halley is what some people call a "Freak". Her parents find it amusing that she doesn't fit in to the "popular" crowd like everyone else in the family does. She likes to be locked away in her room on her computer. She is really close with her older brother. Her liking for computers drew her away from her elementary school friends and pretty much hangs alone now a days. Although she is kind of a loner she is extremely competitive, in everything. Even with herself she will try to beat her time for hacking a social network account. Halley naturally isn't a rebel though so she gets excited when hacking into stuff. When Halley was little she was forced into sports like soccer and softball were she showed just how anti-athlete she is. Her parents weren't to thrilled she didn't like sports so they resorted to Karate. At age 12 and since then she has become a black belt 5th Dan Everyone who watches her isn't quite sure why she is so good and how she mastered it so quickly. Especially after finding out her parents barely knew the karate rank system itself. She puts on the belt humbly but with pride and tries her best to keep a balance between the 2. Halley loves being able to help out with the younger kids karate classes and show off, though she doesn't like arrogant people, she can be quite the hypocrite sometimes. She is usually aware she needs to back of though and does like wise. So when she was 10 she was given a laptop, her first one. She was extremely excited and couldn't wait to use it, since then it has expanded to 6 monitors and 2 computers. 3 monitors connected to each computer. Hale is passionate about everything she does but under her fighting ability she is kind of sensitive. If you say something rude to her she will take it personally very quickly. This is why not often do you find her calling people mean words or swearing. Halley's favorite part of school is wood shop, its the only thing she is decent at. She likes working with the wood, it just feels right, but she does constantly mess up which sucks because she's the only girl in her shop class.
History:Halley belonged to a perfect family, well what seemed perfect. She'd had one older brother, always looking out for her. Her parent owned a perfectly clean modern house, think the vampires house from Twilight (Hale actually dreaded this movie but was forced into seeing it by her older cousin). Halley didn't really care what the house looked like. She was just proud of her room and the monitors that lined 1 side of the wall. Halley's parents had actually bought all the computers she owned, for her. They'd wished she would have stuck with soccer and painting nails and make up but they needed to support her. So every year on her birthday they brought her to the local Best Buy and she got what she wanted, happily. But don't stereotype her as spoiled. Halley is well aware that her family is in the top 3% of wealthiest people in the world and as she's heard many times "Kids in Africa are starving" Hale has proved she's worth something to her family buy volunteering at homeless shelters and going to "Feed my starving children" on Tuesdays. Halley never asked for more than she needs, but her parents always seem to give her what she needs to the greatest extent. They enjoy spoiling her even though she doesn't encourage it.
The day Halley found out about her background was a great day (sarcastically AND literally). It had been like any other BUT, she had a plan. She was going to hack into Facebook and delete all of a certain group of peoples pictures. Okay so it sounded kind of evil and at the time it seemed like the perfectly logical thing to do, due to fact a mean group of girls had cornered her in the bathroom, cut her hair and cut her jeans. She'd come right home after school crying, went straight to her room and began the process of getting in to their accounts. She had actually gotten into other people accounts before but never actually changed any thing, just sat there accomplished. Halley continued to cry until all 5 girls had 0 photos in 0 photo albums and after she finished, she cried more, feeling so guilty she wanted to vomit. Maybe it was a big deal, if they didn't have those pictures saved any where else. Or maybe Hale just thought of it as a big deal in her head. Anyways she finished and ran to her bed to cry more when she heard a soft knock. (Now one every knocked on her door) So she stopped sobbing and said "Come in". It was man, older, nice looking. Her first instinct was to scream but she just couldn't maybe her voice got lost in the crying but he was still there and moved closer. "Halley," He said is soft voice was a comfort she had never felt before. He sat down on her bed slowly and she just watched him tears rolled down her face but she made no noise. Still in his soft voice he calmed her and told her. He started by congratulating her on the hack but said she should be punished, it was the wrong thing to do, then she told her of the Academy. Halley felt dizzy and for a moment and she wondered, maybe she was going to heaven. But he assured her everything would be okay, he would fix the photo problem and she wouldn't have to see her high school again. It actually sounded decent to her so she agreed. He also gave her a pamphlet to give to her parents. It took Halley about a week and a half to convince her parents to let her go. Even then they were still upset and began to act weird around her. Halley's brother became more distant from her, discouraging there daily goofing around. She had confirmed she was going and so she packed 2 duffel bags and went off with slightly hurt feeling and a new year ahead of her.
Anything else?Halley gets home sick easily and often takes time to herself to remember what her life was like before she came to the Academy. She found about her heritage at the end of freshman year and is starting her sophomore year at the Academy.
