Tapestrea

Tapestrea (pronounced TAH-PAY-STREE-AH) is Cadence's older sister, both of whom share a rather bitter sibling rivalry. She is often considered Cadence's "polar opposite".

While Cadence went off to "phat beats" and "mix-master DJ" hip-hopping, Tapestrea turned to classical music, particularly the piano. She currently teaches piano at no charge to anyone who is willing to bear her strict disposition.

Background
Cadence and Tapestrea both grew up together, since Tapestrea is eight months older than Cadence. Each one discovered their passion around the same time.

After that, the sibling rivalry formed, especially because her mother preferred Cadence's music, while her father preferred hers. Even though they were loved equally (they bought Tapestrea a grand piano and Cadence a turntable, for instance), it was their music that they battled over.

Cadence is considered the ultimate in politeness, but these "considerings" have never seen her near Tapestrea.

The two sisters also dressed differently. While Cadence kept her natural hair color (yes folks, pink/purple was the family's natural color), Tapestrea dyed hers a permanent brown. However, streaks of purple and pink can be seen, but she denies this.

Another thing Cadence points out on Tapestrea is her "conservative clothes", stating "her grandparents didn't even wear that".

Tapestrea counters with Cadence's lack of much clothing at all, as well as those "bulbous growths on the sides of her head", which, as they both know, are Cadence's headphones.

After they left their parent's home and got their own igloos, they stayed isolated. Yet, come every Christmas, Thanksgiving, or any other CP party, the two would meet once more and sibling rivalry erupted.

Involvement
Tapestrea is to classical music as Cadence is to hip-hop.

...this may be why no one has ever heard of her.

Fortunately, the sibling rivalry hasn't been witnessed by Cadence's papparazzi, nor Tapestrea's pupils.

Quotes
(to a random rapper on the street) "HEY! YOU'RE A MINION OF MY SISTER! GET LOST; I KNOW HOW TO LAY SOME SERIOUS CHORDS... RIGHT UP THE BEAK!"

...and that is how a piano works. (pupil raises flipper and asks question) NO, YOU DO NOT SCRATCH THE STRINGS!

Trivia

 * Tapestrea is named after the "TAPESTREA", a discounted, second-rate freeware program that involves automated musical analysis.


 * She sometimes uses the slang of her sister, but immediately slaps herself after.


 * Her catchphrase is "grand accomplishment", which is ironically an exact synonym of Cadence's "epic win". It is even used in the same context (that arpeggio was grand accomplishment! / that dance was epic win!).


 * She dislikes Explorer and the Furry Flats, who, on more than one occasion, have been invited into her igloo and played "I Like To Move It" on the harpsichord, violin, cello, and concert flute.
 * She dislikes Danny the most, who, more than once, has told her to "yell pianissimo" or "decrescendo", which, technically, means "Shush already!" in musical terms.
