Camilla's style, along with the rest of Sophie's Valentine, is something she prides herself on. Since high school she wanted to be wearing something that was different from everyone else, but also bring eyes to her and keep their gaze. After going through many phases and numerous styles, she finally decided on something that was a little more simpler than what she initially thought she would need. Most of what Sophie's Valentine wears is custom made as they have certain sponsors and advertisers they keep that help bring along the money, but her look is always paired with a leather jacket, part of her signature look.

Camilla was known to be the girl that prides herself on her look, and she knows she has it. She has the type of look that is able to draw people in and quickly get them to her bidding. In high school she knew she had to get a certain look, especially if she wanted to be in a successful band. Camilla ate very little during school, people often worried about her eating disorder, build but her Camilla keeps a serious tone on her face, though she is known to let a smile or two slip when with her friends and relaxing with her band members. She is very picky about keeping her slim look and staying fit, often running numerous times a week and even more so when it comes to eating, sticking to a strict vegan diet.
Probably the simplest and one thing that Camilla doesn't care too much about is her hair. When on stage she does like to wear it down as she learned flipping her hair and moving out of her face is something people love for a singer to do when singing, when off stage she tries to keep is up in a pony tail most of the time as it less work to deal with as well as actually fitting her serious look very well. Between both on stage and off stage there is one thing that never changes with her hair, she always has bangs, and has had them since high school. Camilla doesn't wear much make-up, along with her thinking styling her hair would take too much time, she thinks the same with make-up, but the one thing she always make she has on is he bright red lipstick.

Camilla likes to think of herself as the perfect front woman for a band. She uses the charm she carries on her shoulder to get to where she wants and put out a positive outlook to her audience. Camilla is able to hold this appeal and keep the smile on her face even through stressful of times when on stage, often able to wing it easily and think on the spot, especially during one of their early big gigs where the venues amps weren't working so they had to do it instrumental with no back track. She knows that her looks can get her far, but not everywhere and had to learn to be charismatic to the correct people and sometimes just gotta say what they want to hear to get what she wants.
During high school and growing up, Camilla was nice to most people, not really getting on any ones bad side. Most of that changed though once she got a taste of being the center of attention. After the high school talent show, more eyes were on Camilla, and she enjoyed it, so sought out trying to be more popular and such, and with her voice and seeing how it worked for Soren, she formed her band. As she got more popular and more people following her, Camilla tended to change, becoming more about herself and her band members than the people around her, only really staying friendly with her inner circle.
When off the stage Camilla puts out a serious tone and often get's the criticism of being a bitch, often upsetting a fan or two during signings because she said something that 'hurt his feelings.' She often is sarcastic and is told to apologize sometimes due to it coming across the wrong way, though she wouldn't if it wasn't bad for public relations for her and the rest of Sophie's Valentine.
Camilla does have a soft side though, but it is only seen behind closed doors with her band mates or with other close friends that she has lowered her wall with. Her smile opens up more and her sense of humor tends to lighten up and she's able to let out a laugh. She tends to keep a wall up to other people and strangers because she knows there are people out there that only want her for position and fame, and while she enjoys this, Camilla is afraid that she won't be able to hold actual friendships because of this. Though she will probably never admit this to anyone.

H I S T O R I A
Growing up, Camilla had a pretty good life. Her father owned a law firm in Manhattan and her mother worked close with in in the law offices. This led to a steady flow of income to their household to where Camilla could get most things she wanted by just asking her parents, including a hefty 'allowance.'
Being a child, her parents wanted to make sure Camilla would have a good and successful life, getting her tutors for most subjects as well as private teachers for a wide range recreational activities for her to figure out what she had talents in as well as get her a hobby. This is how Camilla discovered her voice and found her love for music. Her soft voice paired well with the instrumentals her teacher would put on, though she never acted much on this talent
During her early years of schooling Camilla always envied the popular girls in movies and TV shows and wanted to be just like them, mostly ignoring their flaws and focusing on the limelight they always got and being on everyone's minds and set her goal to be one of those girls in high school. Once she reached high school, she quickly found a group of friends that she fit into and enjoyed the times with. During her early years of schooling Camilla always envied the popular girls in movies and TV shows and wanted to be just like them, mostly ignoring their flaws and focusing on the limelight they always got and being on everyone's minds and set her goal to be one of those girls in high school. Once she reached high school, she quickly found a group of friends that she fit into and enjoyed the times with. One year Camilla decided to be part of the school talent show, one of her friends who had always said her singing in car rides was amazing mostly pressured her into it. Well, by the end of the week, Camilla Rhodes had won it with her singing and much more of the school found out about her voice. Though there were some small talks that if Soren’s band wasn’t on a ”break Camilla would never had won.
With her talent being a bit more well-known and the talks being about her some more, she took a page out of Soren Bowers book and quickly started a band, though only needed one trial to get the recipe right. And from here and a few of her friends, Sophie’s Valentine was born. She still stayed involved with her initial group of friends and continued partying with them, her and Soren actually being close friends despite being in different bands.
As the days continued, Camilla noticed that Beautiful Strangers would play more at Lauren’s parties than Sophie's Valentine, at first she thought it was nothing but after Soren had told her about him and Jaime, it all made sense. This started to fester within Camilla as she would get jealous of the light he was stealing from her. This being one of the first cracks in the group's eventual cracks.
Shortly after graduation and playing some gigs at other venues, Sophie’s Valentine got noticed by some record groups outside of the country and eventually took a deal in Europe, England to be more exact and quickly moved on away from New York.
Camilla hadn't been back in town for years, never really looking back after leaving and quickly becoming a star on the stage. And after their most recent tour around Northern Europe, she got a message from Jaime out of the blue about a big together for everyone to catch back up. A party. But of course Jaime had already planned for Beautiful Strangers to play. Even if Sophie's Valentine was busy, it would've been nice to have the offer.
The timing, for once, was perfect as their tour just ended and the band would be taking a small break before writing their next couple of pieces. It was what they did after each tour. So Camilla Rhodes came back to New York, but she had no idea what she would be getting herself into.

Camilla is far from a saint or an angel and has her own secrets and dark side she likes to keep hidden and away from others.
Camilla would never admit it, but she has a drug problem. Often doing cocaine minutes before a show to get an additional rush on stage, popping some molly when partying with her band after a gig goes smoothly, or just smoking some a bowl or two to relax after a long week. Camilla knows her limits for the most part, always cautious not to mix her habits at one time as she knows what bad things can come from that and knows she has much left to do before her time comes.
Cam has caused from drama within with and around Beautiful Strangers in the past, spreading rumors and even getting hold of an instrumental demo from them and used part of it on Sophie's Valentine tour in UK before Beautiful Strangers was able to release it. People quickly assuming they stole it from Sophie's Valentines.
Though this ties into another secret that Camilla will probably hold to the grave unless she finally acts on it. Since early days of high school Camilla has always had as small crush on Soren, though not exactly knowing how to act on it properly as she was more known to keep boys as accessories rather than partners. Plus there was the problem of Soren and Lauren being a thing as well. Instead she kept up her reputation of being a bit mean, shoving her emotions in the wrong direction instead of just talking to him or anyone about them. Now she feels it is too late to do anything as she has reputation to keep, especially after the last fight between her and Lauren at the hospital.
One last dark secret about Camilla is that she is what some people would call an opportunist, taking most people's misfortunes and turning it into something good for her and her band. Along with this, ever since high school she's learned everyone has secrets and has quickly been using other people's against them in the form of blackmail to get what she wants.

Being the front woman for Sophie's Valentine, there are some things that are needed. She knows she has a unique soft voice and uses it for numerous different songs among their albums. Along with being a good singer, Camilla is also a great talker/charmer, able to talk her way in or our of situations. Also using her words and looks to get what she wants from people, often using information to blackmail them later.
S T R E N G T H S
Flirting is one thing Camilla loves doing and has a pretty good grasp on, sometimes leading to the bedroom or just sometimes innocent remarks just to get someone to blush or get embarrassed. Even though she lacks caring about others, Camilla is one that has enough love for themselves to last a life time and isn't one to back down from others knowing she can walk the walks just as well as she can talk the talk.
W E A K N E S S E S
For being in a band, Camilla is not musically talented with any instruments, sticking mostly to her voice and looks for the band. With being in her band, Camilla does feel as if she won't be able to find a real relationship, afraid people mostly just want to be with her because of her fame, this leads to Camilla giving most people the cold shoulder and putting up a wall so they aren't able to actually get to know her, being only open with some of her friends. Also, she can tend to be sarcastic at the worse moments, and often unable to put herself in the shoes of someone else or understand what they are going through, or maybe it's just she doesn't care.
