"Hey, guys! This is Normani Kordei from Fifth Harmony...and it really feels like those old Disney commercials where the stars would introduce themselves, trace Mickey Mouse's head with that magical wand and say '...and you're watching Disney' or something like that. Sadly, considering this ain't Disney and this ain't no interview, there was no point to this...let me just start over. Okay, my name's Normani Kordei and yes, I make up one-fifths of the American girl group and your winner for Billboard Group of the Year, Fifth Harmony. Most people go between calling me Normani or Mani, it makes me no difference. I like when fans call me Mani, it makes things feel more intimate, like I'm actually connecting with them - which is part of our goal. Connecting and staying as real with our fans as we can, without getting too deep. So please, go ahead and call me Mani. Only my best friends call me ManiBear and to this day, Laurenza hates when anyone outside of 5h call me that. However, Korbae is a thing my step-sister started and a few of my Buckley friends call me that.

To keep it 100, I'm pretty sure everything you need to know is on some internet site or on social media, but for anyone who doesn't know, I'm seventeen and one of the youngest of 5h. I know, I know - how the hell does a minor's mama permit her to make songs about sex and all that ish? Well, for one, since I'm not your kid, it's none of your damn business. Two, I know there are some of y'all that hypersexualize children even when they're wearing nothing more than a Doc McStuffins tee and a tutu, so fuck outta here with all that. And three, my mama does and not because she's letting me do whatever my fast tail wants to do - she would slap the taste outta my mouth before that happens. No, my mom firmly believes in allowing me to pursue my dreams at whatever angle I choose to do so. Our music isn't too grown up, it's maturing...just like we are, just like the fans we came on X-Factor with all those years ago are maturing. People change. We all can't be wide-eyed and innocent and ish. I'm also a Gemini and speak on that as you will. Y'all do so anyway, so why try to stop you now?

As of three weeks ago, I am single and not sure if I'm looking, but I'm also not gonna be against whatever God decides to do with me and my relationships. Being on tour a lot and just being busy with my career makes it hard to be in a relationship - my last one is a testament to that. Before I go any further, I'm just gonna clarify this for a few fans who seem to have decided what my sexuality is. When we first started, the group stated that they were heterosexual and for a minute, that was 1000% true...and then I grew up. I've always admired women for just being attractive in their own skin and that's something I recently came to understand as a possible attraction. Am I going to explore that? Maybe, who knows? New year, new era and a ton of possibilities. Maybe I'll even get this V-card swiped this year, legit who knows? A lot of people are surprised that I'm a virgin considering I show such confidence in my sensuality, but that had nothing to do with actually having done the deed. I just appreciate my body more than I did the year before. I am thinking of the possibility, though, of...exploring, but we'll see. Don't quote me on anything just yet, lovelies.

With that being said, I've only dated three guys. First was Arin Ray, who I met during our X-Factor days. Great guy, awesome singer, but we were never gonna work. We were competing against each other and honestly, that fueled our attraction. Once the competition was over, so were we. Next was Thomas, Dinah's brother and one of my close guy friends. Love him to death and I wish him well on his mission, but things were not meant to be, not long term anyway. It is what it is. Last was...was CJ. Fans have been blowing ya girl's shit up over this and honestly, it's exhausting. Wanna know what happened? What happened was that ya boy cheated, plain and simple. We started dating after Homecoming and believe it or not, our first official date was Halloween night. CJ had been trying to get in my pants since five scores and a gazillion never-gonna-happen ions ago. I wasn't having it, which was probably new to him since a lot of girls cave to his mister-steal-your-girl routine. I didn't want to be stolen. So, because he's a charming mofo and ya girl knew how to run his game right back at him, I gave a date a chance and then it turned into an actual relationship - and then boom, he cheated. I gave him the option of breaking up at the beginning of this summer since as everyone knows, he doesn't deal with a girl for too long despite the fact that we'd been together since October, no hard feelings. He was like, nah and that he loved me and we could chill whenever we found time because my summer was 5h promoting and music videos and just busy. Cool. But then it wasn't cool cuz he apparently got some girl from our rival school pregnant in June so that means I was barely out of the country when this ish happened, didn't even think to tell me even though I found out through Viv's sources, and then we were over. I broke up with him three weeks ago, considering I apparently wasn't allowed to do that over the phone. My mom's wishes, not mine. Something about at least me being the respectful one, whatever. See? Simple."

As I've told my fans, I keep it real and the one thing that I've been super real with them about is the fact that I have no shame in the person that I am, the person that I'm becoming, and what my life is about. And considering the fact that I've been voted as the one 5h member that not many can really relate to in terms of just about everything save for my occasional display of ratchedness, the way I keep myself up is definitely what distinguishes me from the others. Mostly because, I don't have the same financial limitations. But we'll get to that - let's start somewhere less deep.

Apparently - and it's apparent cuz y'all think we aren't teens and young adults who don't check every other social media site or have an account on said sites so we wouldn't hear the shit y'all talk but we do - I'm the vain one of the group. Again, ain't gonna tell anyone to change their minds since we try that and y'all tell us - or each other - that we're lying, so big whoop! The point is that yes, I am confident. Vain, even. But I also had to work up to this point. Some of us don't grow up with the guarantee that people will love us simply because we're lighter skinned or have obtained traits that are far more admirable when it comes to standardized Western beauty. Despite the beauty pageants and even the uplifting I received from my girls and Harmonizers alike, there were always things about myself that I hated. My nose felt too big for my face growing up, my eyebrows were as thick as my lips, skin was a bit oily and always breaking out and at first, I was skinny. No curves whatsoever. I know, that's a shocker. And it's not like there are some features that don't have me a bit insecure now.

With the right tweeking, my eyebrows are the bomb diggity and my favorite feature on my face are definitely my lips since unlike some people, I don't need lip plumpers, injections, fillers or any of those DIYs on how to make them full. My nose has grown into my face now and ya girl's got curves for days even though some people like to critique saying that I'm fat, but the one thing that distinguishes me from the others is that my skin is dark. I'm black, it's obvious. And in a group of girls whose complexions range from porcelain to olive, it's obvious as fuck. I just had to learn to love it - to embrace it. And if y'all wanna call me vain, then so be it. Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you've taken the time to behold one of God's masterpiece. Keep on beholding, strokes my ego.

Now, however, I've gotten to the point where I've discovered that either these genes are glory-be-to-the-father or I've seriously been blessed. My skin is clearer after various treatments and products used and while my temple looks good, I feel good. Which was the big deal for me. I needed to feel good and that firstly, needed to be taken care of emotionally and mentally. I won't say I'm perfect, but I'm in a much better mindset than I was years ago. God put me in this body for a reason, crafted me to his liking. I've learned to love it and admire his handiwork. It doesn't hurt that #BlackTumblr seems to admire it too. But on to the making the temple feel good and ish...I'm not a vegan. I don't do those twenty-eight day detoxes, diets and I don't join programs all for the sake of obtaining a few likes on Instagram or bringing all the boys to the yard. For one, my personal physician hates detoxes and I've known Dr. April long enough for her to have permission from my mama to slap the living daylights outta me if I ever ask for her to recommend one. Two, I love food. I am the main one, second to Mila, always eating food. Like, always. I can be in class and I promise you, a banana will be munched on, maybe even a parfait depending on the class.

But the point is that you just caught what I said I was eating - healthy options. Do I fuck up? Um, yes. Hello? This was the chick who said her favorite food was Popeyes at one point. Hell yes, I make mistakes. I just don't let myself feel bad for it every single time and I happen to have a personal trainer and chef who keeps ya girl's body A1. I'm a dancer, I like moving - I need to move. Before I was ever a performer, I was an athlete and still am. So, working out and being active isn't an issue to me. I feel bad if I haven't worked out at least three times a week, but I don't stress if I don't do more than that. As much as I dance on stage, especially with this new era of 5h, it's not like it'll hurt me.

In terms of what I started off by saying, the whole having opportunities that the others don't, well...the whole having a personal trainer and chef should have clued you in. Not exactly living in your regular old mansion, if you've ever actually looked up my address. Nathaniel wanted to make sure that my everything was taken care of - that there were people specially there for me on tour and for different appearances and performances. Which is why we're usually flying in my team from Gemini 14 from New York to work on my hair. The one thing I said from the beginning was the fact I was down for finding out what my style was and working that, but I wanted hair when this was all over. So, regardless of what others might say, after the blue hair I was rocking, I cut my hair to shoulder length and have been using keratin bonded extensions, courtesy of my man Naomi Porto. He is the best at my extensions and keeping ya girly hella fly, which is how I've been rocking this pretty much butt-length jet-black mane since last November. We've established what works best with my hair, and Shea Moisture is cheap compared to the high end brands I know Viv uses, but it works on my hair like fucking magic and has me smelling like honey and keeps my curls frizz-free and tameable. I also use Hairburst pills just to ensure that my hair is growing and doing so healthily, so that when a hater wanna talk ish, I can whip out my actual hair like, BAM bihhh!!

Viv introduced me to Miss Karen Gutierrez about two years ago, and while I'm faithful as fuck to my peoples down in Houston, when they can't make it or I'm looking for a new look, I'm phoning up Miss Karen, no hesitation whatsoever, and she'll have my nails on fleek. Clarissa Luna does Fifth Harmony's makeup for mostly every event we've ever done, but I've recently fallen in love with Mylah Morales. She's Rihanna's makeup artist as well and keeps your girl's complexion glowing, and taught me how to do the same when I'm not in the mood to have someone else primping me. Which I'm not, most of the time. I've gotten really good at doing my own makeup nowadays, especially when I'm not with the girls and I'm at school and with my crew there.

One of my favorite things about living in Los Angeles is the fact that it's Twinkle Town...home of the heat waves, and land of the I-don't-gotta-wear-clothes. I mean, I do wear clothes, but it doesn't have to be layers. Which is all a girl ever wanted in this life. Shoot, baby Mani used to renounce all diapers and run around the house naked, so it's not like I'm lying. Anyway, everyone knows I love clothes. My closet is a testament to that. I like the top brands, but I also will vouch for H&M and don't even get me started on Forever21. My wardrobe's a mix of some of the most expensive shit and some of the cheapest, and as far as I'm concerned, there's never been a moment an outfit hasn't been on point for me. Having grown acclimated to Hollywood and the various looks the group has sported, I think I've done well at being very open to different styles. I can go from Fashion Week ready, to Moschino sweatpants, to red carpet glam, to sexy casual. I love sexy casual, btw. I'm the fierce little one of Fifth Harmony. It seems fitting that my style would reflect the moniker. And if I happen to be a bit sexy or revealing, then so be it.

It's the same thing I'd say about costumes. Everyone knows that I'm the dancer of the group. Never claimed and never will claim that I'm the best dancer on the block, but let's be clear - our dance routines and the twerking I do on stage do not at all showcase my actual flexibility and training. And I don't push for it considering Mila and Ally would freak the fuck out, and Lolo's stamina would be shot. But I need clothing that provides free movement, so if I happen to reveal more skin, it's not me being a slut or a thot or too grown for my age - I just need it. I need to feel free. Besides, I'd like to think that if I'm old enough for you to slut-shame me for wearing a cut-out sparkly costume meant for dancing and movement and one that my own mama approved, then I'm obviously old enough to wear whatever else I want to, right? My clothes just reflect my confidence and if anyone's gotta problem with it, then it's a personal one cuz that ain't got nothing to do with me."

Personality
When Normani Kordei Hamilton first stepped onto the stage of of Simon Cowell's X-Factor show in 2012, it was a unanimous "yes" from the judges on her going on to the next round, regardless of the various opinions given by haters worldwide. Simon immediately loved her and Demi Lovato exclaimed that she had a bit of the "it factor," which definitely wasn't hard to see then and definitely even more visible now for anyone who had ever doubted her. Before even X-Factor, Normani nd her mother had to cultivate the artist within her, putting Normani on the stage as much as possible and even giving her the chance to record her first song at the age of twelve even without a label. Just for the experience - just for the growth and excel of a very insecure girl. Now, that young girl is far more confident in herself - in her looks, talents and abilities - than she was as a child and it shows in the easy way that Normani can capture attention on stage.

Despite obviously not being the focal point during Fifth Harmony's live performances or even when she is at school, it is not hard for Normani to garner attention. It is surprisingly easy for her step-sister and even her fellow bandmates to be eclipsed when Normani performs or walks into a hallway, and that is simply by the energy and aura she gives off the second she enters a space. There is a captivating allure about Normani Kordei that even in a sea of people - and, in most cases, even on a stage with four other girls - her attractiveness both in a physical and spiritual sense in enough to make her stand out. More-so, her confidence and her ability to not allow one person to make her feel insignificant or unattractive is what enables her to be so entrancing. Fans have said, especially when the girls did solo touring after the release of their Work From Home track, that Normani was impossibly warm and lively, and neither of those adjectives were far from the truth. After all, unlike a few members of her class of performers in Hollywood, fame has not gotten to Normani's head. She is still as humble as she was as an insecure child who was afraid of being the darkest wherever she went and hated the shape of her lips because no one else had them. She has never forgotten where she came from and the people that pushed her along. It is through them and those experiences, after all, that she has grown surer and surer of her dream, and of her capabilities in this arena of life. So, she has refused to allow this acclaim to change who she was when she started. She might have matured a bit over the years, but she has been as real and as honest as the day she came on stage and told the judges that she could show them better than she could tell them.

For all intents purposes, Normani has always been and will always be a bold, lively and fun-loving entertainer with a vivacity and energy befitting her age. Despite the fact that she lives in a humongous house with a closet three times the size of the bedroom she has in her father's Houston home and the fact that she has a nice car and staff members at her beck and call, Normani will always consider herself a normal teenage girl - a blessed one, yes, but a teenage girl nonetheless. And so while she has been seen during interviews dressed smartly yet fashionably and composing herself with the debonair charm that both her mama's urgings and Hollywood's molding has instilled within her, she is still the Normani her friends and fans remember to dance wherever she goes and belt out her favorite songs, off-key even despite her vocal training simply because she's happy enough to do so. Normani enjoys life and she sees no reason to be picky about the things in them. Of course, she appreciates her stepfather's money and the shopping, but she also appreciates learning how to skateboard and even falling flat on her ass off of said skateboard. She is the classmate who can easily, and without a care for the unwritten rules of the school, find her way in different groups. She might not be besties with the chicks from the geeks, but she will be the first to greet and even start talking to someone simply because she's so extroverted. Part of it is because she's so genuinely friendly and likes meeting new people, the other part is that she is innate curious about everyone and everything and because, again, she is still the Normani that originally started this career with four other girls nearly four years ago.

She is the friend who will be singing the latest Beyonce song on your snapchat with you, the one choreographing a ridiculous dance routine to Fetty Wap, the one to try to hog her food to herself and even the one you can count on for starting up an impromptu runway show in the middle of the school hallway, regardless of the fact that you have class in about two minutes and Mr. Devereux is a stickler for punctuality. She is always down for having fun and living life to the fullest, even if it means getting into a little trouble from time to time. Still a good girl, if you ask her mama who will instill the fear of God in her if Normani is ever escorted home by the cops or worse, but even she can be a fun, even sexy little devil when she wants to be.

It is not to say that Normani does not have her moments of weakness. Is Normani this fun-loving ball of fierce energy who could entertain you and herself simply because her ass slipped and fell because she ran down the hallway trying to steal a pair of her sister's shoes? Oh, yes! But she's also the girl who will tell it like it is, regardless of whose ego she has stunted. There's a reason why Normani will always have the safety net of being the queen bee's sister, but never be considered one of her main crew and that is because Normani does not bow. She refuses to. Does she show respect? Undoubtedly so, but her respect comes from seeing an individual as a person, not some false deity or whatever else their egos have hyped them up to believe they are. And she will gladly tell you that. She also is the friend who sees no reason to sugar-coat her sentiments if you ask for her honest opinion. If you are asking for an honest to God opinion, expect one. And if your feelings are hurt, don't expect Normani to fully understand that, particularly on that emotional level. Her brain is rational and occasionally tactful; she recognizes when and where she needs to say what she needs to say, but she has also reasoned that you asked for an actual opinion, and that is what she is going to give you.

Normani is a communicator and she is far more verbally facile than a few fake Harmonizers will say that she is when compared to their faves such as Camila and Lauren. She has always been good with words, in effectively communicating thoughts and advice. She usually is the friend you can trust with advice and again, that comes from Normani's rationalization and analytical capabilities. She's the friend you want to trust in order to mediate issues or again, simply for advice because Normani does not allow herself to delve into the emotional. That can be considered a problem, depending on who's asking, but she is always looking at situations from both angles, trying to reason the causes for various actions and emotional reactions in order to find the best solution to the problem. Is she confrontational and willing to be bold in order to get the job done? In her lord and savior's name, yes, but she is not an agitator. Most people assume that Normani is a bit impulsive at times, particularly when she seemingly approaches a situation head-on, but she has approached only after she has analyzed the various outcomes and reasoned to herself which ones she is willing to deal with in the long run. She may not start drama or initiate the problem, but leave it to Mani and she damn sure will finish it, whether that's with a few scathing words that would surprise the hell out of anyone who assumed hr vivacity also meant passivity or a punch to your nose. It's your choice, to be completely honest.

Another issue is that there is a lot of assuming when it comes to Normani, but rarely is there actual understanding or knowing. Not unless you're one of her best friends or her sister, who is even a bit more complicated than she is. Perhaps it's the mercurial temperament of Geminis, maybe it's simply the way Normani's brain works - but not many people, no matter how skilled of an observer or how on top of everyone and everything they tell themselves they are, can actually read Normani. Her vivacious spirit and endless energy do not at all reflect her actual emotions. Hell, because she's usually so optimistic and bright, the people she does not like sometimes don't even know that she doesn't like them. Depending on the act performed against her person or those she cares about, Normani does not forgive easily or at all. She might let bygones be bygones, might even still go to the movies with you and a few friends the next day, but it is hard to earn her forgiveness once she's been crossed. Normani is loyalty personified, which is why she was first from Fifth Harmony to cut Camila off the second the girl announced she was releasing a song without them and it is why she still hasn't fully gotten back into the groove of dispelling Camila's awkward guilt with easy-going laughter. Most people can go through an entire semester with Normani smiling in their face, but not actually knowing she's still harboring a bit of anger towards them or something they did. Again, she likes being positive. She just also holds grudges that you wouldn't know she was holding. This girl can go through a plethora of facial expressions before settling on impassivity, but it would occur so swiftly that you might have only glimpsed one true emotion. She will speak her mind like the moniker of "the fierce little one" will have you thinking she will, but she will tell you what she wants you to know. Again, this goes back to Normani's need to not be emotional and it has something to do with the independent streak her father has instilled within her.

She will do for you as much as she can and then some, but she rarely allows for the same to be done for herself. She will be as introspective as needed, but shut down the second the introspection is turned on herself. She has rationalized in her head that she hates being a burden to anyone else and can rationalize things on her own, but does not always confront her own need to just be emotional and react in ways that others don't, not unless pushed by a spirit as indomitable as her own. She hates her own vulnerability and will succumb to another's need for physical comfort, but does not always concede to her own need for the exact same thing lest she goes to a particular person or group of people. She's unpredictable and as exasperating as she is enchanting, ans can be as adventurous as the next restless soul. But, at the end of the day, Normani is a teenage girl following her dream and living hr life the way she wants, unapologetic and with no regrets.

Special Skills
Hip Hop, Ballet, Contemporary, & Jazz Dancer and Gymnastics

Strengths
For one, a strength of Normani's is the ability to put on a show. Critics and prudes in general tell themselves that she's too sexy or trying to be grown, but the point is that when Normani performs, people are always talking and eyes always find their way to her. Next is her confidence, which has remained unshakable despite the fact that she has been confronted with negative reviews and opinions from people worldwide. Normani doesn't see them as words to tear her down, but people she needs to shut up and the best way to do that is to live her life as if them and their critiques don't exist, and be the best version of herself that she can be. Her greatest strength, however, is her optimism, which includes the aforementioned mentality. Bad things spoken about her or emotional situations don't wear her down, but instead force Normani to uplift herself and strive for more. Even more than that, she generally tries to have a positive outlook on life and doesn't try to focus on the negative at all times.

Weaknesses
While it is true that Normani is an eternal optimist and tries to focus on the good, she still very much holds grudges. She is just good at not showing them. Others might find that fake and she wouldn't consider it a weakness since she doesn't let the feelings dictate her life. Another is that she can be a bit unemotional or, another word would be, detached. She doesn't always allow herself to confront or show her emotions, tending to bottle them up for the sake of positivism until she explodes. Or at least, until someone really pisses her off. She also gets bored rather easily and it can sometimes show even during interviews where Normani's mind trails off elsewhere in an attempt to not start huffing loudly out of boredom or just up and leave like she wants.

Mental Illnesses
None

Life Philosophy
"I remember when I was really little and I used to look around in my classroom, and I saw that no one else has my big lips and nose and I was really self-concious about that. It didn't help that there were really mean classmates during recess and I remember crying to my mom about it. It wasn't until a few years later, after the pageant shows and the competitions, that I realized how much I allowed other people's negative opinions of me - their internalized misogyny and racism and even self-hatred - to alter my confidence in myself. To change who I was for the sake of fitting in and that realization, plus my mom urging me to try out for X-Factor, was what made me want to live my life the way I want to, regardless of outside opinions and negativity. It didn't matter what anyone had to say because this was MY life and I was the one who was blessed with it. So, I'm the only one whose opinion matters and I'm the only one who's going to enjoy all that God and life has to offer me."

"Never let anyone change who you are. I have truly learned that life is a gift from God and we must live it to the fullest."
~ Normani Kordei

Hometown
"I will always have love for Atlanta, but I literally don't remember it. I remember visiting after we moved to NOLA, but after that, it's been Houston and the French Quarter all day for me. They were my childhood."
Born in Atanta, GA, Normani's family moved to New Orleans until Hurricane Katrina in 2005, before moving to Houston, Texas.

Upbringing
"After Hurricane Katrina, I knew things were changing for my parents and for me. We literally left behind friends and even family when we relocated to Texas and I adjusted worse, second to my parents' marriage. We were a middle class family, and I never recall a day that we struggled like crazy, but it was hard. I was partially bullied at this new school and I had zero confidence, so my parents put in their best efforts to take care of me. Even if we were low on money, they still found time to put me in as many programs as they possibly could. They never let dancing stop for me, I had a private vocal coach, and I was competing in an all-star cheerleading team. I ended up winning Miss Texas Clearwater Overall Fitness one year, and just these experiences enabled me to really want to pursue a career as a performer. It was through Nathaniel's help, of course, that I was able to record my first single, which didn't make me any money but introduced me to the world of recording arts. It was also Nathaniel that proved to be the final straw for my parents' marriage.

A lot of people think of the swiftness of my parents' divorce and then Nathaniel and my mom getting together as messy, and I won't lie, it kinda is. But it wasn't what everyone else thought it was. He was the black sheep of his family, going back and forth between Switzerland and America to see his various friends on his private jet. My mom was a flight attendant he happened to strike up conversation with and then hired for his own jet, and they legit were just friends. My parents weren't in love anymore, I guess. Mom dropped everything, even being a flight attendant, to be my momager and so my Dad picked up three jobs while helping with my sister Arielle with her modeling. They just never saw each other and I don't remember slammed doors or anything dramatic when I was growing up. I just knew that it was over when they said it was, even if I was in my feelings, and eventually, especially when I was really adamant and more confident about pursuing a musical career, we moved to California and mom married Nathaniel."


Pets
"We had two dogs, but I was never there to care for them. I was always cheering and dancing, and then I moved with mom to California and then X-Factor started, so I wouldn't get my dog until 2015."

Idol or Hero
Beyonce

Dreams
"To be a performer, always. To be able to meet Beyonce and be on her level to a degree, or at least an artist she could talk to. Just...I wanted the lights, the cameras and I wanted to go on stage and entertain people."

Education
"When the Lylas, then Fifth Harmony, formed, we all agreed we were giving up school. And then Vivienne wanted to really stay in California and the only way she was staying was if I was staying and going to the same school. Then mom and Dad both agreed with Nathaniel that I shouldn't stop, which is fine, but who wants school? I'd rather chill on the veranda sipping mimosas and vetoing track lists for 5h, but I guess."

Summer Spent?
"Well, if you know me at all, then you know with the way the school year ends, I couldn't not go see X-Men Apocalypse again and Captain America: Civil War was worthy of my viewing it again. They're just so hot, and the storyline and comics are pretty much a part of my childhood when I had the chance, so I had to pay my respects. And it didn't hurt to movie hop and see The Darkness, which was a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. I know it might seem ridiculous at this point in my life to be pressed to go to the movies, but there's a difference to me at least, in going to the movies - the actual theater - and being in a space with strangers and friends seeing something you all love. Maybe I missed out on these chances when I was young, I don't know. Then I officially got my driver's license sine I was the only one in 5h who did not drive herself, and I was able to officially claim my Rocket, the Bugatti Nathaniel had bought for me when I announced I was in love. I try not to ask for stuff like that, just out of the way I was raised, but I loved this car so much when I saw it at the motor show. It just caught my attention with its color and then, out of nowhere, despite the fact that it was considered a concept, the shit was in the driveway after school one day and I was like, screaming. I've been driving Rocket ever since I came back from the rest of my summer.

After that, Fifth Harmony decided to keep up this history of Summer European tours and lo and behold, we stopped in my favorite country from before: Spain. God, I loved Madrid and just the vibe there was glorious. Then we went up to Italy, then France, and then...well to the rest of Europe. Viv left us when we got to France to just over to her precious Switzerland estate. The summer was just really nice and fun, so much fucking fun. This was the first tour that I have been on and my mom didn't come with me, which was new. I didn't know how much i depended on her to take care of certain things until...shit, I lost my flat-irons. Scared the crap outta me and I called her like a little bitch. But then I got over it and acted a damn fool. Went drinking, which I don't normally need in order to have fun, but it was hilarious to see Ally drunk so I was okay with the hangover. Got to see Dinah cough up a lung over a cigar, not to mention feel that shit burn my esophagus like a I swallowed the dry heat of the Apocalypse. Couldn't sing at one point because of it, great explanation for my mom...good times. Eventually though, I had to come back to California. School had to start some time. Besides, got to spend those last few days with friends, partying and hitting up the spots."

Household
"As I said before, mom and Nathaniel got married and I technically was about to start Buckley and was a resident of California when I auditioned for X-Factor. The rest, as they say, is history. So, as everyone else already knows, I live with my mom, step-dad and lovely step-sister and best friend, Viv. There's the live-in staff as well, but I normally stop at just family. Still weird saying I have staff."

Pets
"I used to be so upset when I was younger because Arielle was able to be with the family dogs and really be able to say that the dogs loved her. I even cried for the boy dog when he died about two years ago despite the fact that he wasn't mine and he didn't know me that well. So, last year as a present for managing to promote our first album and finish the school year without positively breaking down, Nathaniel got me a Yorkshire terrier. I refused to have some overly expensive pet. I took to my fans to find my baby girl's name. I decided on Preslee Marie Hamilton. Literally my child and the love of my life."
Preslee

Socioeconomic Status
"Obviously, when you hear the name Rothschild, you know that I'm definitely not living off of chump change. Not that I ever had, but most people know that the middle class is a dwindling population, and neither of my parents would qualify as what the middle class is ow. So, as far as I'm concerned, I've been upper class for awhile now and as uppity as they can be...the perks are kinda nice. I've never known Nathaniel's family's actual net worth and when I looked it up, there were a lot of speculations, but never any facts. I mean, anyone's obviously not just one of those regular Forbes Billionaires when they buy their daughter requests a good amount of Goût de Diamants, especially their Rose , which costs about $2.07 million per bottle and be able to furnish and buy a house that cost a good $100 or more million."
Extremely wealthy

Secrets
• Made out with a few girls over the summer • May actually not be the virgin she started off as at the beginning of the summer • Has an actual track list of her own vocals on songs that have nothing to do with Fifth Harmony • Was approached by Roc Nation with a proposal for possibly joining when Fifth Harmony breaks up

Many complain that McMansions are unreasonably large for a single-family home, but McMansions have nothing on the Rothschild Estate. Located in Beverly Hills, CA, this massive waterfront compound was built on 63 acres. Construction began in 2002 and was completed in 2007, but not without an outcry from the local community, many of whom believed it would be used as a hotel or business retreat. Not so. Instead it was built for one of the surviving descendants of the infamous Rothschild clan, Nathaniel Rothschild, and his family. Rothschild, who comes from a long legacy of businessmen and a few industrialists, got his industrialist father to commission the home to be built for his personal use.

Located at 934 Amoroso Place, Venice , CA 90291, the actual square footage and number of bedrooms and bathrooms vary, depending on source. Living space ranges anywhere from 43,031 to 100,000 sq ft; bedrooms vary from 21 to 49 bedrooms and bathrooms are equally difficult to pin down, ranging from 18 to 69. Discrepancies in data can be attributed to whether other buildings on the estate are included in the numbers.

One thing is certain: this is one, big house. The aerial image below shows a portion of what’s on the property, but in addition to the main home is an indoor theater, two bowling alleys, two tennis courts, an outdoor pool, two squash courts, game rooms, a recording studio, and a basketball court.

After five years of construction and controversy, the wealthy Nathaniel Rothschild received a certificate of occupancy allowing his family to move into their 66,395-square-foot Italianate mansion on the ocean. The neighbors weren't exactly revving up the welcome wagon. In 2002, the neighbors were sufficiently enraged by the idea of a house five times larger being built and they complained repeatedly to the Town of Venice. They hired consultants to assess the potential impact of the Rothschild mansion on the neighborhood, and they sued to stop the town from issuing building permits. The lawsuit failed, but the town has since passed a law limiting houses to 20,000 square feet.

The mansion, part of a 63-acre estate called Rothschild Field, is one of the largest in the United States. The 66,395-square-foot Italianate mansion with 29 bedrooms, 39 bathrooms, and a staff wing; the $100 million project also included a 17,000-square-foot garage (large enough to fit more than 100 cars), gym, lounge, game room, a recording studio, basketball court, handball court, billiard room, an outdoor pool, two indoor tennis courts, and sports center with two bowling alleys.

Derrick Hamilton || Father || 51 || Software Developer || Living
"Most people know that my Dad is a more behind the scenes kind of guy in terms of my life. Family members have gone on to say that my mom basically replaced him with a richer man and that she has taught me to do the same thing, but that's not the case at all. I mean, I won't say he and Nathaniel get along smoothly considering the fact that Nathaniel married my father's high school sweetheart. But it is what it is. They don't fight, at least not in front of me, so I'm able to appreciate my dad and all the hard work he has had to put in to keep my dream alive. The point is that, yes, we aren't close in terms of geography, but my Daddy is still my Daddy. He pushed me on the swings and drove me to dance lessons, and still prank calls me on a regular and I love him to death."

Andrea Rothschild || Mother || 48 || Co-Manager || Living
"Nobody rides harder for me than my mama and that is nowhere near a lie in any way, shape or firm. My Dad may have driven me to rehearsals and recitals, but it was my mom on those late night homework sessions. It was her letting me stay longer in the dance studio, crying with me after pageants because she hated seeing me cry when I lost. My first visual memory of her is clapping me up over what I know damn well weren't actual pirouettes, but she wasn't gonna let me know that until I was old enough to know the difference myself. She was prepared to go wherever I went to pursue my dreams. More than that, I've just always been able to vibe with my mom. She keeps me honest, but she also knows when to let me have my moments and just let me do me. I love her so much."

Nathaniel Rothschild || Step-Father || 49 || Chairman of JNR Limited || Living
"Nathaniel...Nathaniel...Nathaniel...my step-father. To be honest, I didn't like him. Who was this moderately attractive guy my mom was being real friendly with when my Dad is right here? Uhhh biiiihhh wheeeet? Obviously, my sentiments hve changed considering he gets long father's day messages just like my dad and i actually think about what kind of presents I'm gonna get him on the holidays. The point is that I appreciate Nathaniel, not just for what he does and tries to do for me, but also for how happy he makes my mom. I didn't realize how unhappy she had been with Dad and so I love him for that. It doesn't hurt that he's entertaining as fuck when he decides to do modern dances and such cuz he has so much more rhythm than I would have thought."

Arielle Hamilton || Older sister || 26 || Part-time model & Veterinarian student || Living
"My big sister and I have the most interesting relationship in my family, I'll say, in that we don't need to talk every day or even every week. We text each other from time to time, when the mood strikes, and we'll like each other's stuff on social media. If you know me, I don't typically post every single day because I'm too busy living the life to actually be on my phone twenty four seven talking about living the life. But when I do, I usually retweet or post whatever my sister has on her stuff. I love Arielle and she was my initial example of black excellence, and I think I'm always gonna admire her. She was just so amazing and inspiring when I was growing up. I was dancing and competing, but Arielle was modeling. She was the captain of her cheer team, president of student body, volunteering at the veterinarian shop near our house, etc. She was amazing, but our lives have always been separate. I wish we were as close as I am to Viv, but it is what it is. There's no shortage of love between the two of us, though."

Vivienne Rothschild || Step-sister || 17 || High School Senior || Living
"She is literally second to my mom in terms of who rides for me the hardest. Like, Viv, for all her ridiculousness, is one of my biggest motivators and fans and I literally didn't know how much I needed her in my life until she became a constant. I'm gonna be real, we bonded cuz we both were like, nah, we didn't want our parents together. She liked having her dad to herself and I really wanted my parents together. Obviously, it didn't work out the way we wanted, but we got each other out of the deal, so we're kinda cool and have been tight ever since. I mean, we don't agree on everything and obviously, I'm not one of her royals. But we're sisters and I would fight for this girl."

Short Term Goals
"Surprisingly enough, I want to win Homecoming Princess. I don't normally run at all and just let these girls go at it for themselves. However, I just - I don't know. I want the tiara. It looks really cute and plus, it'll be fun to see how far I can make it to Homecoming night. Especially considering the fact that for a Performer, I'm a bit more popular than we normally would be. It'll be fun, even if I lose. Plus, I said I wanted to do something different this year. This'll be different for sure and I always say to take risks anyway. Also, I just wanna continue promoting 7/27 and get as many gigs as we can to make this album as big as Reflection."
• Making a clean swipe and becoming Homecoming Princess after never running at all • Making at least three As during the school year, or at least semester • Do something different and exciting during the school year that doesn't have to do with her band mates and record label • Bringing even more media attention and success to Fifth Harmony's 7/27 album

Long Term Goals
"The simple fact of the matter is that Fifth Harmony is eventually gonna break up. We aren't those naive little kids who told ourselves we would stay together forever. It just wouldn't work. I'm not saying we won't be friends forever cuz that bond is powerful and I wouldn't wanna lose any of those beautiful women, even Mila and despite what we're going through. However, I started this journey as an aspiring solo artist and that's the next big step for me. Fifth Harmony's been a great platform to establish myself as a developing artist, so I think the next step is to solidify my sound as a solo artist and just really push myself to be bigger and better, and to do more. I mean, getting married and having kids is a goal considering my mama wants grand kids to spoil, but she knows that's not the priority. My art comes first, but I also won't fight what God might have planned for me. Not exactly against having a stronger home front in my future."
• To cultivate a successful solo career • Make herself proud • One day have someone special and make a family of her own

Aspirations
"I'm gonna borrow from Beyonce when I say that my aspiration in life is to be happy. Obviously, I want to be a great and successful artist with Grammys to my name and a continuously growing fanbase. Like, that sounds great. However, I also want to be happy - with myself, who I was, and who I will be. I don't wanna say that I missed opportunities to enjoy my life because I was too focused on the big picture. I just wanna be happy and to live. I truly believe I was put on this Earth to be a performer and to entertain other people, but more importantly to live. My aspiration is to live my life in whatever way that makes me happy and to be able to say, when my time has come, that I'm satisfied, no matter the outcome."

Grade
"Not as exciting as my senior year is gonna be, but it's junior year and exciting nonetheless. It's hard juggling school and an actual career, but I wouldn't change anything. I actually love Buckley, surprisingly enough. Not gonna lie, there's hella drama and discrimination at times, but like I tell my friends, I had to learn to not be sensitive to other people's bullshit. Don't give them attention and they kinda get bored. Or, if they keep talking shit, sock it to them one good time. You gonna get in trouble, but they'll learn their lesson. Or, at least, if you're not about that life, cut them so hard a bitch'll think twice the next time around."
Junior

Lifer? Newcomer?
"I think I've been here long enough to be considered a Lifer, but pretty sure some still don't think I am. I mean, I wouldn't blame y'all. I came here when I was twelve, about a year before I auditioned for X-Factor. I think the audtion helped some of y'all recognize me as a Lifer, or at least let me have the name."
Lifer

Scholarship or Not?
"Nope, I am not a scholarship student. Now, if Nathaniel was't my back-up, I definitely would be, but I'm not."
Definitely not

Group/Clique? Are you happy? Would you change?
"To the surprise of no one at all, I am a performer. Not that it changes who my friends are because I'm friends with whomever I decide to be friends with. I just vibe with these people hella hard and the competitiveness gives me all the life when I'm away from my 5h babies. I wouldn't change at all. I still get invites to parties courtesy of Viv and the friends I do have and honestly, I like hearing about the drama of Buckley as opposed to being involved."
Performers

Clubs? Sports?
"No sports or clubs for me. My soul is too tired after recording, interviews and just not being just a student. However, don't get me started on the basketball team and football team. I've rarely missed a game, and I can never miss volleyball."
None

What are you most looking forward to?
"The drama - oh my gosh, is that bad to say? Lol, #sorrynotsorry. But it's the truth. As much as I hate when I'm a part of the drama and with the fact that I never explained why CJ and I broke up at all to anyone other than my best friend and Viv, there's gonna be nothing but. I don't know, getting the 4-1-1 on the latest drama gets my blood pumping. As petty as they are, these kids literally have me dying! They're like, my personal brand of Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and 90210, and I live for this shit! That sounds so bad, but I have Cold Stones on stand-by for this year."
Being entertained by the drama

Best Subject
"Believe it or not, I wanted to be a dentist and so science always came surprisingly easy for me. I like math too and I love being able to say that I can take dance classes in high school."
Science

Worst Subject
"History. I just really don't care. Is that bad? It's so weird cuz I like English a bit more just because I get to write and I don't always take the time to do that, but history bores me like crazy."
