I've been trying to house her for a bit, but since the cap is lifted and the credits I want are free, I'm pretty sure I'm bringing in this Nora Zehtner pb with the credits of Regina Spektor. Althea had a very unconventional childhood. Her parents were in the circus (she picked up a few tricks, but rarely shows them) and traveled often. She spent most of her time on the road and was home schooled until she was around sixteen. She went to live with her aunt because she craved a little stability and teenage normalcy, though she never did go to a traditional high school. She skipped a few grades and had a feeling being young on top of new would make things even more awkward. She's a strange mix of uber maturity (she's a bit of an old soul) and childlike silliness.
She loves people and people watching, but isn't quite sure how to act around them. She usually goes back and forth between being a wallflower and talking someone's ear off when they actually approach her or if/when she gets comfortable. She's very laid back and easygoing and a definite fan of trying new things, though she's honestly never more herself or at ease than when she's on stage. She's currently New York based and its pretty much her favorite place in the world. She stayed there after college and its sort of the place where she learned to stand on her own two feet, though she really is a late bloomer in so many senses of the word. She's insanely down to earth. She's just glad she can play for a living instead of your typical 9-5. I'm really just looking for the usual suspects. Friends, fellow musicians to tour and collaborate with, you name it. I'd love to fill lines as long as they're not of the family variety as her backstory doesn't have much room for those.
