Brooke Renton is a typical high school girl with the exception of her many hobbies. She’s been dancing for about 15 years and has been drawing and creating art since she could pick up a pencil. She also uses these hobbies to her advantage when it comes to needing to express her emotions. Brooke travels a lot with her family, but she has a fear of elevators and heights, so don’t even think about putting her through the Seattle Space Needle again! (she’d so do it again.) She loves to write and is also interested in photography, and if you didn’t think all of that was enough, she’s your typical nerd when it comes to her grades (but definitely not when it comes to her personality). When describing her style, she would definitely describe herself as a fashionista. She likes to try to keep up with the latest trends even though her wallet can’t always do the same. She’s hoping to major in graphic design and photography, and, who knows, if this works in her favor, maybe even journalism as well!
