Gray
NAME: Meredith Gray Hunter (Meridith after her mother, Gray because of her icey gray eyes)
NICKNAME: Gray
AGE: 20
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Austria/EnglandHISTORY
Gray Hunter was born to loving parents who wanted to give her the world, but just couldn't financially. Her father, and Englishman, was married to a first chair Austrian Cellist for the Vienna Philharmonic in Austria. They found it very difficult to find time for their daughter when she came along, and Gray found herself sitting backstage, listening to the practicing of the best philharmonic of the day, and playing with the instruments. She grew up around music, and knowing nothing but devotion to it. She became extremely talented on the piano, the violin, the guitar, the cello, the flute, and her own voice. By the time she was 16, she was performing in the Vienna Philharmonic alongside her parents, and drawing much attention to herself as they toured.
They soon found themselves in Paris, where they performed as usual. After the last concert, Gray was approached by representatives from the Royal Academy of Music in London, England, and offered a full ride scholarship. She accepted naturally, as this was a huge honor and an incredibly difficult school to get into, especially for one so young as herself. The beginning of the school year, she found herself living in London, and soon began her intensive studies of music. Her parents were able to visit that christmas, but were unable to make it to London for the summer, so she took summer classes as well, and completely loaded herself down. Pretty soon, she was in the top 5 of the entire school, and one of the most likely to succeed. The bombshell hit when she was finishing her second year (5th semester).
She received word that her father had passed away, and her mother had disappeared from the Philharmonic - and she was given instruction to stay in London. Gray was heartbroken, but tried to continue on with her schooling anyways. Her grades dropped, and she became a recluse - never showing up for rehearsals anymore...And pretty soon, she just quit going to classes. The other students talked about her, and rumors spread that she was just too good for the school now, but in reality she was holed up in her room feverishly writing music and playing until her fingers bled. It was on her 20th birthday in the middle of her third year there, when she was visited by the president of the academy. He told her she needed to get back to reality, or the scholarship would be revoked. That night was her last night there.
Gray decided to start a new life. She would go to New York, and try her luck as anything that did not involve playing with other musicians. She didn't want that life without her parents in it. She took only her guitar, her trunk of music, and a small bag of clothes. 3 months later, she finds herself in New York living off of the tips in a hat, and sleeping wherever she can find a place.PERSONALITY
Gray used to be shy before she started performing, and then she became passionate about her music and didn't mind the hoards of people watching her. Things rarely scare her, and she is capable of fending for herself - plenty of street smarts having been to so many cities. Since she left her parents for school, she picked up a little sarcasm and reclusiveness. A word to describe her would be; Mysterious. It is never clear what is going on in her head... She could be talking to you gently and calmly, while in her head plotting your murder at the same time. She is silent and observes things, and doesn't flaunt around her talent. It is actually very rare that she even shares her talent with anyone. Gray is extremely loyal, and loves with her whole heart... So when her heart is broken, it really breaks, and she pours it into music. Under her rough facade is a sweet, yet short tempered girl with Ice Gray eyes and sandy brown hair.Who are you?
