Biography
Early life
Cher was born to Mel and Mrs. Horowitz on April 22, 1979. Cher wasn't really been able to bond with her mother in person, due to her dying when Cher was an infant, succumbing to complications from her routine liposuction surgery. Despite not knowing her mom, Cher holds a place for her in her heart and believes that her mother still watches over her for better or worse.
Series
Cher is popular with her classmates; she often uses her social status (and social know-how) to aid others. Yet these crusades are not always as successful as she would wish. Cher usually has a pop for helping others, but the agenda is never a cruel one. However, some of Cher's attempts at righting the world's minor wrongs indeed produce the results she anticipates, such as with matchmaking between two of her teachers.
As the daughter of a lawyer, Cher has developed extensive conversational skills. She can (frequently) talk teachers into improving her grades; thus is the case with Mr. Hall's debate class. However, Cher's efforts to talk her way out of trouble are not always successful, such as when Cher fails her driver's test due to her sub-par driving skills. Josh is the know-it-all ex-step brother who is often the first to point out when Cher "finds a situation she can't talk her way out of." Cher's knowledge is not without flaws, particularly in relation to certain elements of history and culture.
Personality
Cher is sweet girl who is very beautiful and has a unique sense of fashion. She is the undisputed queen of her high school. She was born under the zodiac sign of Taurus meaning Cher is also tough and clever, just like her father Mel. Cher is good at convincing as she convinces two of her teachers that each is a secret admirer of the other, negotiating her way from a C+ average to an A- average. Cher never has a stable boyfriend as she describes finding a boyfriend in high school as "being as pointless as looking for meaning in a Pauly Shore movie."
