Theadora Morgan. She won't answer you unless you call her Teddy, Tee or Thea.
Try to call her Theadora and she'll rip your eyeballs out.
17 years old. Her birthday is the 13th October.
Teddy identifies as pansexual and she is currently single. She is known to have
a lot of random hookups and one night stands.
The stand out feature of Teddy is definitely her freckles. She personally hates them and wishes that they would just disappear from her face, even though a lot of people really like them. She feels like she looks like a child with them all over her face, especially her nose. She hates that when she catches the sun they stand out even more, which is super annoying because she loves spending as much time outdoors as she can. If she could be bothered, she would wear makeup to cover them. But considering most of her time is spent in the studio dancing or working out in the gym, she doesn't really see the point when it's just going to sweat off her face. The same applies to her hair. It hangs a couple of inches below her collar bones and has a slight curl to it, but is mainly wavy and can be very frizzy. She tends to leave it down or just sticks it in a bobble for dance class. She knows that she should probably get it cut and seriously conditioned, but she just can't be bothered with it. Beauty really isn't her thing and she doesn't see why she should follow society's idea of beautiful. It is very rare that she actually wears any makeup outside of dance competitions, and even then she hates to wear it. But she will grin and bear it for the sake of her team, and then as soon as they have finished, it gets taken straight off her face. Sometimes if she is going to a party she will put some on, but usually just a little mascara and some concealer to cover any blemishes, nothing too fancy.
Teddy stands at 5'1" and is often laughed at by her friends at dance class for being so short but somehow managing to look so fierce. There is just something about her that makes her look mean. Maybe it's her super chiseled jawline or cheekbones, or maybe it's the fact she has a constant resting bitch face, she'll never know. Thea doesn't ever weigh herself because she personally feels like she doesn't need to. Numbers on a scale mean nothing to her. She wears clothes size extra small or small, depending on where she shops, but it doesn't matter to her what the labels in her clothes say. She loves her figure and likes to flaunt it at any opportunity she can get. She is very proud of the body she has and believes she has worked hard to get in this shape and to consistently keep it this way. She generally lives in sweatpants and hoodies when she is going from class to class. She wears booty shorts in her dance classes and often wears denim shorts or Nike hot pants and a slogan t-shirt to go with it when she is at the mall or with her friends. She tends to wear a lot of black clothing and a lot of white clothing. She likes to keep it simple.
Teddy attends the college at Metric and is taking Dance and Choreography combined. She grew up in Park City, Utah and moved to Salem, California when she was 14 years old - when she very first began at Metric School of the Arts. She loved Metric from the very first day she came here. She knew from the minute she entered the building that this was where she wanted to be. The energy and enthusiasm of people doing what they loved was in the air, she could sense it from the minute she arrived. She was glad to move away from Utah, grateful to have the chance to find her own feet. Everybody from home told her that she wouldn't last two minutes there, that she wasn't old or mature enough to move. She left her home by herself, with two suitcases and a huge backpack, refusing help from anybody, not that her parents would have offered any. She knew she was ready to do this by herself. Look at her now, almost 4 years have passed and she has spread her wings and made quite the impact on her own life, doing amazingly well at Metric, sticking it out until college. She knows that she won't leave until she is finished completely with college, ready to move into the real world and continue doing what she loves. She doesn't ever plan on returning to Utah, she doesn't feel like she has anything to go home to. In fact, she doesn't even consider Utah her home anymore. She much prefers the lifestyle she has out in California and considers the people that she attends Metric with as her family.
Teddy is a very versatile dancer but she excels in hip-hop. She is very hard-hitting and almost 'grungy' when she dances. She is very quick on her feet and extremely focused. She knows that if she wasn't as amazing as she is at hip-hop, she probably wouldn't have been accepted here. She enjoys contemporary and also loves attending Giovanni's heels classes and she attends as many of those as she can. It gives her something else to add to her resume when she leaves here. She doesn't enjoy ballet as much as most dancers do, something which a lot of other dancers find odd. Ballet is the fundamental basis of all dance, but Teddy just doesn't enjoy it as much - she doesn't find it as fun. Hip-hop is a lot more relaxed and shows each dancers personality, whereas ballet is very strict and regimented. Although she has so much power and control in hip-hop, she struggles to put it into practice in ballet. She doesn't like the feeling of not being able to express her own personality, which is the reason why she dances in the first place.
Francesca Duncan née Watts.
45 years old. Stay at home mom/secretary for her husband and former beauty pageant child/teenager. Teddy and her mom do not get on very well at all. Francesca has always been against everything Teddy has wanted to achieve in life, almost as if she does it on purpose to cause an argument in the family. Growing up, Thea wasn't the most academically smart child. Her mother used to constantly make digs at her about this and it was one of the reasons she sent her to private school, to try and make her smarter. As a parent, Teddy feels she should have been more supportive, not make her feel like a complete idiot, the way her mother did.
George Duncan.
51 years old. The owner of a large company that Teddy doesn't really give two monkeys about. She doesn't even give one monkey, really. Teddy hates the fact that rather than stand up to his wife and support his children, George would rather just agree with everything Francesca says and be at her beck and call. He cares far too much about his job, rather than his children and their emotions. She is pretty sure her dad couldn't even say what her favourite colour or her favourite food is, he just doesn't invest the time into his children.
Brea Duncan.
9 years old. Teddy's little sister who is the perfect child in her parents eyes. Who even gives their children rhyming names? Brea is constantly dressed in frilly dresses and perfect, white ankle socks. She is everything that Teddy refused to be and is going to turn out exactly like her mother. Brea is a pageant child and this is the main reason her mother absolutely dotes on her. She is willing to let her mother smother her in makeup, fake tan, and false nails, and have her hair done to look like the exact opposite of who she is.
From being a baby, Teddy was never really with her parents. They had a live-in nanny, Jemima who cared for her. Jemima saw her first words, her first steps, took her for her first haircut. She did everything that parents were supposed to do. Although Teddy doesn't remember Jemima so much, she always wishes she could find her and thank her for looking after her when her parents didn't.
When Teddy turned 4 and a half, her parents enrolled her in a private school for girls, which she boarded at. Teddy will never forgive her parents for doing this to her and is still disgusted that somebody could place a child in a boarding school at four and a half years old. She had an on-site dance teacher who specialized in ballet, but she was allowed to have free time and activity time, which she was taken to a dance studio outside of the school, which was where her interest in hip-hop started. Although she didn't hate the school, she didn't love it either. There were some pretty cruel girls there and although they were never meant to Tee, she didn't want to be there. She didn't want to have to live with people that were cruel to others. This was when she begged her parents to take her to her audition at Metric. Of course, they refused. So Teddy had to find another way to audition. She sent an email to the school, full of different clips of her dancing. And they sent her a letter, based on the videos alone, she was accepted. It took weeks of begging for her parents to finally let her go. After all, she wasn't going to be at home, annoying them anymore.
To this day, Teddy doesn't have the best relationship with her parents. In fact, she doesn't really have any relationship with them at all. They disagree with the path she has chosen in life. They wanted her to stay in her private school that she previously attended, they wanted her to grow up and be a business woman, to make herself millions and then have other people working for her. They don't see how she could possibly make a career out of being a dancer or a choreographer. To them, it isn't a real job and it won't earn money like being involved in George's company can. Teddy completely disagrees - she doesn't care how much money she has. She doesn't care if she has to dance on the street to earn a couple of dollars. As long as she is dancing, she will be fine in life. They also don't agree with her sexual orientation. They don't understand how she can have sexual relations with females. They don't understand that she is pansexual. How can Theadora, their first born child, be attracted to the same sex? What could they have possibly done wrong to deserve this? Teddy has tried to explain to them that it isn't just males/females. She is attracted to all genders. She falls for personality, not if a person has a penis or vagina, whether it be real or surgically altered.
Teddy tries to spend as much time as she can at college and has been known to stay there over Christmas. She hates the atmosphere of being the ugly duckling of the family, the one who is bringing shame by doing something she loves. She finds it easier to stay at school and have the perks of empty studios, rather than go home and end up in fights with her family about what she is doing with her life. Although it can feel lonely at times being one of the few students who choose to stay there whilst the rest go home to enjoy family time, she knows that it is a lot easier for her. She can't deal with the pressures of trying to make her parents see her world and the way she wants to live her life.
