Specialty: Super High School Level Chef
Personality: Cherelle is a stone-cold b***h. She is very competitive and does not like it when people try to compare themselves to her-- especially if they are something like a pastry chef. She smokes practically all day, incapable of going more than 3 hours at a time without having to pop a cigarette into her mouth to sooth her cravings (unless she's asleep). If she goes longer than 3 hours without smoking, she becomes even more aggressive and will even throw knives at anyone stupid enough to even try approaching her. As hateful as she can be, she has a clear love of cooking. She may be extremely sarcastic and rude to other chefs, but she has a small level of respect for them and even has a few chefs whom she idolizes and hopes to meet some day.
Bio: Cherelle has always had a natural gift for cooking. Growing up, her family owned a restaurant, and she would help out any chance she could. However, having a restaurant run by her family caused her to gain weight growing up and she used to be teased for it back in elementary and early middle school. She became increasingly self conscious about the way she looked and went through a phase of both being bulimic and anorexic. However, both times, her family would step in and send her to therapy and rehab to get her "cured" still obsessed on how she looked, she refused to cook again.
In her last year of middle school, one of her classmates suggested she try smoking to curb her appetite, and found that it actually helped her avoid eating everything she made. After a 2 year hiatus, she began cooking once more and her food quickly brought in a crowd to the struggling restaurant her family owned. The sudden attention brought news casts and several television shows to the business, and she received many offers to go on competitive cooking shows. Several times she's gone to shows where professional chefs compete against one another to see who is "the best", and has won against people who have trained and gone to the best culinary schools for years while she had no formal training and won. She has been dubbed and celebrated as a culinary genius. The only problem is that the sudden fame in just the past few years and her lingering complexes on her appearance of once being the "awkward" child to now receiving love letters from fans who have seen her on TV and dubbed her as being hot has gone to her head and she has been dubbed by schools as "having an attitude problem and being a trouble student." Not that she cares.
Cherelle received a letter from Hope Academy asking for her to come to the school. The school she was attending was threatening to kick her out anyways for mouthing off to a teacher and giving a student a cigarette burn during school hours, so she saw no reason not to attend the highly-credited school in order to increase her fame for the chance to meet with some of the most famous chefs of the world.
