Major: Musician

Short History: Rozu grew up in Tokyo, Japan and her parents forced her to play sports but behind their backs she was practicing music. She would play flute, guitar, clarinet, and oboe. Once she saved up enough money she went to live with her grandparents in California. There she started to draw and sculpt. The academy invited her to start school there for her freshman year after a teacher from the school saw her playing in a semi-professional orchestra.

Major: Artist- smooth earth
Minor: Culinary creations
Short History: Lea is the daughter of a rich business man and one of his mistresses, but she was raised by him and his wife. Her birth mother had ended up drinking a lot while she was pregnant which resulted in Lea being born completely blind. Her parents gave her everything she could have wanted. When they saw how much she enjoyed working with play doh and the amazing sculptures she could make they turned one of the out buildings into an art studio where they introduced her to clay and pottery making.

No matter what she was doing or working on Lea would always stop working and clean up long enough before mealtime that she could go into the kitchen and listen to the chef prepare the meal. Over time she started helping him out by letting him know when something was done cooking, or by letting him know that he had poured out too much of something, etc. After a while the chef started letting her do the measuring. Then, he put her in charge of cooking something each meal as he slowly grew her culinary skills.

Half way through the last school year her parents learned about the arts academy, and decided that was where she and her sister would go the next year.

Every time their father had a chance he would go out to his metal working shop, and Terri would follow him out there every time she could. When he thought she was old enough her father started teaching her how to work metal as well. This was when her love of and talent in working with metal blossomed.

Their mom, on the other hand, loved to paint. Terri didn't really take much interest in this until one day Lea gave her a spotted dog she had sculpted. The dog was just a plain brown with indents for the spots. She took the dog up to her mom's art room and managed to paint the dog white and the spots black without making too big of a mess. When her mom came in and it seen that the dog had no details other than the spot she helped Terry figure out how to paint the dogs eyes, nose, mouth, inner ears, and lines between the toes. That was when she started letting her mom teach her how to paint so that she could paint Lea's statues without ruining the textures that Lea had created.

Half way through the last school year her parents learned about the arts academy, and decided that was where she and her sister would go the next year.

Teachers [+]

Teacher
Jean Casey
24
Bisexual

"Perfection is not born, it is made."
Personality: Jean has a kind heart, and treats her students more like peers then anything. She is very hard on her promising dancers, though, and can come across uncaring and harsh when it comes to physical limits. Her students still thank her for this, though, and find confidence in their problems with her.
Subjects: Pointe and Soft Shoe ballet
Short History: Jean has been dancing since she was two years old. She danced in New York through her early twenties, but the rigorous schedule drew her back to here she was born in Northern California, and went to school. Jean is an Arts Academy Alumni, and is excited to be back to teach for her second year.

"Not all who wander are lost."

Name: Klaus Kalogeropoulos

Age: 28

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual with a preference for men

Appearance: Klaus stands at about 6' tall and has a lean, thin body. His dark brown hair is typically styled back, but he occasionally forgets to care and it falls lazily around his pale face. His eyes are a dark brown to match, and his jawline is a narrow and angular one that is often dotted with stubble and sometimes a semi-full beard.

Personality: Klaus is not very patient with his students. However, a softer side can be seen when a student approaches him to talk one-on-one--assuming he doesn't think the student is trying to manipulate him in some way. Outside of the class room, he comes as very laid back and easy going, maybe even fun, but formal. He can be very charismatic and charming, as well. That said, he's not a particularly nice guy overall and doesn't really find the energy to care about people outside of his personal interests.

Subjects:
- Canvas Conveyer
- Will occasionally substitue Symphony Band

Short History: Klaus was born in Greece to a poor family, but he was all that motivated to do much to change his status. He simply picked up painting and piano and eventually found himself to be quite good at those things. As a result, he left home at only fourteen and traveled about, using his art skills to make the money he needed to get by.

At seventeen, he earned enough money to travel overseas and found himself in America. New York was far too busy for him, so he moved West. At the end of his teenage years, he became a US citizen, completed the GED, and entered higher education.

Now, he's a graduate and is teaching at Arts Academy for his first year. He doesn't have any plans so whether or not he'll stick around is up in the air.
