Ever becomes friends with Haven, a girl that just wants to be seen. She changes her appearance every so often and is now going through that “goth” phase. Her current favorite singer is Marilyn Manson so they song best suited for her is Disposable Teenagers by Marilyn Manson. Haven does not get much attention from anyone so she tries to dress differently so she stands out. Haven’s mom works all the time and her dad is barely home for unknown reasons. Haven starts off as Ever’s friend, but soon becomes incredibly jealous of her when Damon moves into town. Haven knows Ever is beautiful under her disguise and is scared she will out shine her. Haven soon starts hanging out with Damon’s ex-girlfriend, Drina. This creates conflict between everyone because Drina is very evil and Ever feels strong antipathy towards her. Drina is the reason Ever dies whenever Damon finally finds her again. When Haven starts dressing like Drina, Ever notices the evil that sparks in Haven. Ever is scared that Haven will grow increasingly evil and do something irresponsible. Disposable Teenagers is perfect for Haven because the lyric, “I’m a black rainbow...I’m a teen distortion, survived abortion....The more that you fear us the bigger we get, so don’t be surprised when you discover it” (1-23 Manson) shows how she was an outcast and no one really wanted her, but when she met Drina all of that changed. Now she feels more powerful and violent. Ever fears for everyone’s safety and has yet to figure out what she can

Instead of turning a blind eye to the true matter at hand they attack it head on, “The genre has long been characterized by notions of hyper-masculinity that allow little room for vulnerability, and of black and brown men putting forward a tough, adversarial persona.”.…
