Rhiannon Grace Slick, 24, Soloist- Vocals, Straight, Free spirited History: Rhiannon, who often goes by many nicknames such as: Rhi, Rhian, Ann, was born in Illinois in 1988 on October 31. She was named after her parent's favorite song, "Rhiannon", by Fleetwood Mac. Her parents were both musicians that traveled around quite a bit. They were never married and never turned into big stars or very well known, but they opened for legends like Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Heart and Blondie. This inspired Rhi to become a musician, inheriting her mother's vocal and songwriting skills. Her father played the piano and guitar so she has basic knowledge on both of those as well. Her mannerisms on stage are centered around her microphone, not being very mobile. She watched her parents as a child and learned from them that way on how to present yourself on stage. Rhi was schooled by her parents on the road, therefore resulting in a not too great education. She did go to a community college though to get a degree. Basically her parents and herself were a family of hippies. With a mom and dad that grew up in the 60's, it rubbed off on her and she is totally free spirited. Doesn't really care about much, just that she can care for her daily needs and such. Her relationship with her mom was very unusual. They were more like best friends than mother daughter. Once old enough (only 16 or 17), her mother and her would actually go out and party together with people in her parent's band or just anywhere really. Rhi isn't a drug or alcohol addict, but has had both before and enjoys some of it every now and then. She doesn't have intentions of trying to cut it out of her life anyway, in her mind, if it hasn't killed her by now, it won't anytime soon. She's been singing for her entire life. The only life she's ever known is being on the road surrounded by musicians. Rhiannon practically grew up in a tour bus. She loved the traveling; getting to see so much all the time really kept her life interesting for her through out her child and teen years. Often, these memories inspire her very deep lyrics to her songs. She's an only child and had few friends growing up since she moved around a lot. Shockingly enough, she's very social and not awkward at all. Eventually, her parents started fighting when she was 16 and went their own ways, not having to worry about divorce papers and such since they never were married in the first place. Rhi lived with her mother and hasn't seen her dad since the day he told her goodbye. Has written many songs about this and is deeply bothered about how her dad just up and left like that. Personality: Rhi loves to meet new people. She can be dry and blunt at times but knows who to sugar coat things for and who can (and may need) to take a hit to their ego. She tries her best to carry herself with grace, and does a good job of it too. Can come across as very snarky and a little on the dumb side but is very street smart with lots of common sense. Rhi likes to take risks. Whether it be pulling a prank or trying to pull off some stunt, she's probably going to be the first one to offer to do it. Loves the thrill and knows that whatever her punishment may be, it can't last forever. Rhi actually almost got thrown in jail when she was in college for trying to spike some guy's drink who had cheated on her with some other girl. Thankfully he turned out to be ok and she didn't get into too much trouble aside from almost getting kicked off campus. Doesn't care at all what people think of her both physically and personally. Can really dish out the sarcasm and wit and is pretty good when on the receiving end of it too. Thinks everything is a joke pretty much, the only thing she truly takes seriously is her music. Isn't much of a girly girl. Sure she loves to get all dressed up and such but isn't very preppy or bubbly. Her hair is either down in it's natural waves or up in a messy up-do. Doesn't waste time with a lot of makeup either. She secretly wishes someone would stick with her so she'd have someone to talk to. Loves people but sometimes has issues connecting with others. Her pride often drives others away too. Fun Facts: -Has a dove tattoo on her left ankle -likes the "hippy style" clothes -has scars on her back from falling out of a tree as a kid -loves the psychedelic rock genre best -her father used to call her 'Dove' since it was her favorite bird, and her first word so she got the tattoo to keep that part of him with her forever.
