• About The OC •
Childhood:
Hayden’s childhood was difficult for the first several years as she was ed around foster home to foster home until the age of five when she was placed with the Thompson’s who ultimately decided to adopt her. The Thompson’s owned an ice skating rink which is where Hayden learned to skate with the help of her adopted parents and staff. She showed great potential as time ed, but never showed any interest in becoming a competitive skater. She would spend all her free time outside her studies skating due to the social anxiety she struggled with because of the bullying she received throughout her school years.
Her school life was difficult, before and after being adopted. While in the foster system it was difficult for her to make friends since she was constantly being placed in new homes, and also being to young to be enrolled in kindergarten. This caused her to become withdrawn when it came to interactions with other children. After her adoption she severely bullied by many kids due to her shy, timid demeanor and the fact she was adopted. As she reached middle school and through out high school, the bullying she experienced would intensify.
Appearance:
Hayden has waist length brunette hair with copper highlights that is layered from her shoulders down. She has brilliant hazel eyes, small nose, and full lips complemented by her hourglass figure. When skating she chooses to wear black leggings, a long sleeve top typically of a brighter color and a fleece vest. When outside of the rink, she typically wears bootleg cut blue jeans and a t-shirt or tank top.
Personality:
When Hayden was a child, she was very shy, and timid. Due to the bullying she experienced it left her with a sense not being good enough. To those close to her she was kind, friendly, playful.
Once Hayden graduated high school she gradually became more outgoing. Over time her shyness ebbed, though is still evident upon first meeting her. She is protective over the people she cares about. It takes a lot to anger her, but once angered she can be viewed as scary as a hurricane. She does not trusting people easily. Once someone gains her trust she will never doubt them, but if they were to break her trust they will never regain it. The social anxiety she has struggled with throughout her adolescence is still with her as an adult, but she has found ways to cope with it when faced with a situation where she must face a large crowd. She can be very self deprecating about herself due to insecurities she had developed. There is also a sense of never being good enough that has been with her since her childhood due to her parents giving her up for adoption and being ed around foster homes.

About OC:
Though Hayden is adopted, she is very close to her adoptive parents Tom and Karen. It took almost a year before she was willing to step on the once to attempt skating with them. It was after her first experience that skating became her life. She had felt a freedom on the ice like she never had, and it was only when she was skating she would forget the bullying and insecurities she struggled with. Over the years her skill became very apparent as the coaches who worked at the rink would teach her different jumps, turns, and spins. As she gained more skills she began to choreograph her own routines to songs she loved while in middle school. When Hayden was not skating, she loved to run. It was another form of release for her by allowing her time to listen to new music and imagine up new skating routines she would eagerly try when back in the rink. During her sophomore year in high school she met the first friend, Luke, as he defended her from some bullies. At first she avoided Luke, uncertain how to interact with him since he was one of the more popular males in her school. After weeks of attempting to speak with her and defending her as she would get targeted by bullies she finally agreed to hang out. This is when she was introduced to anime. As Hayden fell in love with different anime’s and the songs used in the openings and closings of the shows she began choreographing routines to them. One day during her senior year Luke joked about how she should cosplaying the characters of the anime while skating to the theme songs. Though meant as a joke the idea stuck with her and shortly after graduation, with the help of Luke, she began creating YouTube videos of the routines and her in the cosplay. The videos quickly went viral which brought a lot of attention to her. She struggles with the popularity at times, but has chooses to use it as a platform to take a stand against bullying. Her skating videos have gotten her hired on multiple occasions to choreograph unique routines for skaters for various performances. She also creates choreography for her and coaches at the rink to skate that would allow them to interact with other skaters in the ice to make them feel like part of the show during special events the rink would host. This has brought a lot attention and popularity to the rink. Once videos of these routines began to appear on YouTube, she began getting requests to choreograph and perform them for public venues with professional skaters. At this time she has not agreed to any, but is considering it. Throughout Hayden’s life, she would watch any figure skating competitions she could with her parents. She always loved watching the skaters, and would be excited each season so see what new routines Viktor would perform. That was until she saw Yuuri Katsuki skate. She is a major fan of his, hoping that one Day she could meet him and possible get some skating pointers from him. She loved the routine for his free program so much she has learned it, though she refuses to be filmed skating it.
