After Melodey Róse LaRue's mother was murdered horrifically right in front of her when she was eight, she would never be the same. The once courageous child turned into a frightened, nervous wreck. She had much to worry about, from ballet and her royal status. She was second in line to the throne -first in line being her brother- and she never got a break from the paparazzi. The stress had been too much for Melodey's shuttering heart, and took it upon herself to move to America. But this came as betrayal to her father and brother, who resented her from running away from her post. But this didn't deter Melodey from wanting to achieve her dream, which was becoming the most wonderful ballerina. Not only was Melodey passionate about it, her mother was too.
