Girlhood is nothing but a horror film showing for all eyes to see.

It is filled with tales of smeared lipstick, sullen tears, castles of broken dreams, and souls that bled. Michelle Danvers—another victim of girlhood's grasp—is the blazing star of her own frightening picture. Like any orphic antihero, she was once a child with innocent eyes. Now, they burn with rage.

The silver girl was born from a bloodline of destruction. Her father was nothing but a drunk deadbeat with a rotten soul. Yet, she preferred his dark presence rather than her mother's absence. Hopelessly searching for her mysteriously vacant mother's love in all corners of the world created a tainted little girl who longingly awaited her happy ending. There was no end—not just yet. But luckily, there was a quick interlude of solace.

It was Claudia Henderson's love that spread like the sky, glowing inside Michelle's bruised heart. The Henderson woman quickly became a motherly figure to her soon after Claudia fell for Bruce Danvers' sharp charm. Their relationship was quick, hurried even. It started with simple dates, then introducing each other's kids, declaring their love, going on to marriage, and then buying a house together. Unfortunately, the lust for each other's love disappeared just as quickly as it came when Bruce's true love shined: whisky. Their relationship fell fast with lots of destruction, especially when the young Michelle chose to live with Claudia rather than her father. However, her pitiful relationship with Bruce is far from her biggest problem.

Immense darkness stirred within her burning mind at the tender age of fifteen. Haunted by the absence of her parents, she became both ethereal and evil. The Witch Bitch of Hawkins High is what her peers called her—not to her face—of course. But Michelle knew she was Satan in high heels, so she cut deeply into boys' souls, becoming a wild heartbreaker, giving them a taste of their own medicine.
