Biography

Early Life

CampRock1-0825-


Mitchie was born in the United States and raised by Steve and Connie Torres. Her father owns a hardware store and her mother is a professional chef and caterer, who eventually gets a job as Camp Rock's cook, providing Mitchie with the opportunity to finally attend the camp of her dreams at a discounted rate. It is often mentioned that Mitchie is a long-standing hobbyist songwriter, and it is later seen that she is a talented singer-songwriter, pianist, and guitarist. Mitchie dreams of becoming a famous musician at some point in the near future, and often carries around a yellow book that contains original songs she's written herself, including her signature song,"This is Me". It is presumed that Mitchie began playing instruments, singing, and writing songs at a very young age due to the contents of her book.

Camp Rock

During the film's introduction, Mitchie was awakened by her mother and prepares herself for her last day of school and the official beginning of summer. She wants to spend the summer at the famous music camp, Camp Rock, but can't go because her parents can't afford the camp's high price. Later that day, when her mom takes the job as the camp's cook, "Connie's Catering" meaning that Mitchie was able to attend the camp on a lower price as long as she helps out in the kitchen. Mitchie is able to live her dream of attending the camp, she always wanted to go to. When Mitchie gets to the camp, she quickly becomes friends with Caitlyn Gellar, a fellow camper who wants to become a top selling music producer. All is going well for Mitchie until she has a run in with Tess Tyler, the camp "it" girl, who also likes Shane.

Mitchie gets into the club after Tess heard her amazing singing, but instead of singing in as a lead, Tess makes her a background singer along with the other background singers, Peggy and Ella. Soon, Mitchie meets Shane Gray, an "obnoxious and rude" rockstar, who was sent to the camp by the media to fix his attitude. The two begin a friendship and soon start to fall for each other. All is good until Mitchie's secret was told by Tess, which angers Shane and he stops talking to her. On the other hand, Shane is still thinking of the girl with the voice (which was Mitchie).

The next morning, Tess teases Mitchie about her mother's cooking and then Mitchie stands up to her and tells her she is much better than someone who likes to put other people down, and is kicked out of the group. But then, Caitlyn decides that they should make their own group. On the day of the Final Jam, Caitlyn and Mitchie are unable to participate, thanks to Tess framing them for stealing her charm bracelet. Soon the Final Jam has begun, and Tess is trying to warm up the two remaining "it" girls. But after Tess insults their "horrible" dancing, they both quit due to her behavior, leaving Tess on her own but wasn't nervous to perform at all.

Tess's performance was going well until she gets distracted when she sees her mother near the rest of the audience. Her surprise appearance made Tess feel shocked. TJ had to take a phone call while Tess is performing, considering that she's a very busy person. Tess almost falls off the stage, embarrassing herself. She runs off the stage to cry. Then, Peggy takes the spotlight and gets a loud applause. Afterwards, Tess apologizes to Peggy and Ella for treating them poorly and for being selfish. It's finally the end of the Final Jam, and Mitchie then comes out and begins to sing "This is Me". Soon, Shane recognizes the song and the voice he hears and begins to sing with Mitchie. The two then reconcile backstage and then they sing, "We Rock".

Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam

More confident and with a better outlook on life, Mitchie enters another year of her young life. With her parents' relationship being on the rocks, she once again looks to find solace in coming back to Camp Rock.

Physical Appearance

Mitchie as introduced in the first Camp Rock film.

In the first film, Mitchie's plain and casual appearance is influenced by her timid and quiet personality. She has an average height for an early teenager, slender, has long, straight brown hair with bangs hanging right above her eyebrows, brown eyes and usually wears plain and simple outfits, such as loose shirts, jeans and a variety of sneakers, sandals and boots. Her outfits are comprised of calm and earthy colors, such as blue, purple, green and red. Mitchie's wardrobe slowly becomes more outgoing as she matures throughout her summer at Camp Rock.

In the second film, Mitchie's appearance is altered almost dramatically due to her more extroverted personality and asserted independence. Her hair is now black, slightly trimmed, less straight and looks curly, her bangs are now parted on either side, showing more of her now confident face. Her sense of fashion also changed. She now equips a variety of brightly colored sundresses, tops, sweaters, jackets and some new shoes expressing a less restricted sense of fashion and a new sense of assurance. She has moved from earthy colors to more vibrant and energetic hues, such as yellow, orange, white. One thing that hasn't changed much is her radiant smile, although it is now seen more often.

Personality

When first introduced, Mitchie is shy, insecure, and easily influenced by others, especially with the criticism and expectations of Tess. She tried to be friendly to others at camp but didn't tolerate Shane's behavior at the time. Additionally, Mitchie felt bad for lying and also felt regretful after questioning Caitlyn's "I don't care" attitude. Although she was quite aware of her talent for music, she kept it to herself, and did nearly anything possible to get out of performing in front of an audience, or even a single friend. However, Mitchie finally builds up the courage to perform her original song, "This is Me" at Final Jam, and her overall confidence gradually begins to improve.

In the second film, Mitchie's personality is the complete opposite of what was in the original film. She's grown to become openly comedic, outspoken, loud, and very involved in camp leaderships and preparations. Mitchie is bold and confident, and unafraid to speak her mind or contribute new ideas.

Talents

In the first film, it is revealed quite early that Mitchie is a talented singer, dreaming of attending Camp Rock. It is later revealed that Mitchie writes her own songs in a small yellow manuscript book, and is able to play both the guitar and piano. Also, in the first film, Mitchie's original songs are "Who Will I Be" and "This is Me". Mitchie mostly composes songs in the pop rock genres. In the second film, Mitchie's original songs are "Brand New Day", "What We Came Here For", and possibly "Wouldn't Change a Thing" and "Can't Back Down".

Although occasionally seen in the first film, Mitchie's dancing abilities are more noticeable in the second film, and are able to cover a variety of genres, including hip hop.
