Kris Mehra

Her full name is Kristen Mehra but she prefers to go by Kris. She plays the bass in the band, Glass Rose, but she also does backing vocals.

Kris Mehra grew up in a rough environment, where her family struggled to make ends meet. Living in poverty, she learned early on to fend for herself. However, even though her home life was tough due to their poverty, she had two loving parents who worked really hard to provide for Kris. The other kids at school were relentless in their bullying, taunting her for being "dirty" and making her life a constant cycle of torment. They’d beat her up, ruin her belongings, and never let her forget she didn’t fit in.

Kris’s bullying wasn’t just verbal—it was brutal and relentless, leaving her with both physical and emotional scars. The kids didn’t just insult her; they made her life a living nightmare. Every day, she was ambushed—punched, kicked, shoved into lockers. They’d rip up her homework, steal her lunch, and throw her belongings into the trash. On more than one occasion, they humiliated her in front of the entire school, pouring mud on her or dumping her clothes in the toilets. They would corner her in the bathroom, lock the door, and beat her until she could barely stand. And the taunts never stopped: “dirty,” “worthless,” “pathetic.” Some of them would leave disgusting notes in her locker, mocking her poverty and mixed ethnicity, or spray paint slurs on her desk. No one ever stepped in to help her, not even the teachers, who turned a blind eye or blamed her for "causing trouble." The isolation was suffocating, and every day was a fight for survival. Kris was constantly on edge, her body bruised and aching, her mind clouded with fear and anger. She felt completely trapped, powerless to stop it—until the day she decided she wouldn’t be a victim anymore.

One day, after years of enduring the abuse, Kris reached her breaking point. She brought a knife to school and threatened her bullies, promising to make them pay for every insult and hit. The fear in their eyes was enough for her; she didn’t want to hurt them, just make them stop. But her actions had consequences—she was expelled, and the rumors spiraled out of control. People painted her as dangerous, and even after transferring to a new middle school, the rumors followed. Students would whisper behind her back, call her a psychopath, and avoid her like a disease. The isolation crushed her, but Kris refused to let it break her spirit. She became fiercely independent, learning to survive on her own, even if it meant embracing the image others had forced on her.

By the time high school rolled around, Kris had become hardened, keeping to herself and avoiding confrontation. Yet, despite her attempts to lie low, the rumors persisted, growing darker and more exaggerated. People were convinced she was a murderer, a ticking time bomb. Teachers were wary, classmates stayed distant, and she was left in her own bubble of loneliness. The isolation shaped her—she became defiant, angry, and unafraid of the world’s judgment.

Music became her escape. She poured all her pain, anger, and frustration into learning the bass, the heavy beats mirroring her own intense emotions. She found freedom in the rebellious spirit of rock and emo, where she could scream out all the things she couldn’t say aloud. Music didn’t judge, and for the first time in years, she felt like she belonged somewhere.

Despite her rough upbringing, Kris is all about living in the moment. She’s got an infectious energy that lifts up her bandmates and friends. She doesn’t dwell on the past and always looks for the fun in life. Kris is rebellious in the best way—she doesn’t let rules or expectations hold her back. She embraces spontaneity and loves throwing herself into new experiences. She follows her own path, even if it leads to unexpected places. When Kris loves something, she loves it with her whole heart, whether it’s music, friendships, or adventures. She throws herself into her bass playing with wild intensity, and that passion bleeds into everything she does. Though she’s outwardly upbeat, Kris uses her optimism to mask the emotional scars from her childhood. It’s her way of defying the past and refusing to be weighed down by it.

Members of Glass Rose:

1. Sean Turner (age 27), the guitarist. He’s stoic, brooding, and grumpy. Most serious of the group. But he’s also caring. Oldest.
2. Kris Mehra (age 24), the bassist. She also does backup vocals. She has an upbeat and free-spirited personality. Third oldest.
3. Kian Hendrix (age 26), the lead singer. He’s flirtatious and reckless. “Fuckboy.” Second oldest.
4. Xavier Lopez (age 21), the drummer. He’s a loyal friend but he’s also serious. Youngest.

Relationship dynamics between the members:

1. Kian + Sean: Kian and Sean became childhood friends while growing up in the same neighborhood. They’re extremely close but they argue a lot and tend not to agree on a lot of things. Sean often gets mad at Kian for the irresponsible life choices he makes. Sometimes they even get into physical fights. Xavier and Kris often have to stop them from butting heads.
2. Kian + Kris: They often encourage each other’s reckless behavior, whether it’s on stage or during after-show parties. Their energy together is electric, both musically and socially. Kris is amused by Kian’s flirtatiousness and might even tease him for it, but they have a mutual understanding of fun and freedom. However, Kris knows when to reel it in, while Kian often doesn’t, which leads her to occasionally step in and try to keep him from going too far.
3. Kian + Xavier: While they have very different approaches to life, there’s an unspoken understanding between them. Kian often jokes that Xavier is too serious, trying to get him to loosen up and have more fun, but Xavier is the one who quietly watches Kian’s back, keeping him out of serious trouble. Despite their differences, there’s a respect between them. Kian recognizes that Xavier’s grounded nature helps keep the band steady, while Xavier silently admires Kian’s ability to live so freely, even if he would never admit it. Their relationship is like that of brothers—occasionally butting heads, but always having each other’s back when it really counts.
4. Sean + Kris: She often tries to get him to lighten up, cracking jokes or teasing him when he gets too serious. Sean acts annoyed, but deep down, he appreciates her positive energy and her ability to see the bright side of things. Kris respects Sean’s talent and admires his dedication, but sometimes gets frustrated by how closed off he can be. They balance each other out—Kris brings the fun, and Sean grounds her when needed.
5. Xavier + Kris: Kris is like an older sister to Xavier. Since she was the one who insisted on letting Xavier join the band, she felt responsible for him. She often encouraged him and was always there for him when he needed her. They tell each other almost everything.
6. Xavier + Sean: Despite how they act, they are actually extremely close. Growing up, Xavier frequently stayed the night at Sean’s house to escape his abusive father. Xavier was also pretty close with Sean’s older brother, Logan. So when Logan passed away (when Sean was 19), Sean was able to confide in Xavier. They might occasionally hang out in silence, working on music together or just being in the same space without needing to fill the air with words.

How the band was formed: Sean and Kian grew up in the same neighborhood and were childhood friends. They went to the same high school and when Sean was 17 and Kian was 16, they decided to start a band, with Sean on the guitar and Kian as the lead singer who also played the guitar. Kian was the one who came up with the band name, Glass Rose. One year later, Kris, who was 15 at the time, joined. She had a youtube channel in which she posted videos of herself playing the bass. Kian and Sean saw her videos and recruited her. In the same month, they started putting up posters for an audition which would be held in Sean’s house. Xavier, who was 12, showed up to play the drums for them. At first, Sean and Kian were amused and didn’t take Xavier seriously due to his age, but Kris wanted to give him a chance. They accepted Xavier into the band. It’s been ten years since Sean and Kian first started the band.
