The way identity interfaces with the database is automatic via the entity framework. In your solution there should be a class called ApplicationDbContext, this is the entity framework context. Personally i would suggest looking up some entity framework guides and work out how it interacts with identity. but a quick overview would be :

To add another table to your database with entity framework you would need to add a DbSet into the context.

public DbSet personalInformation {get;set;}

Then you would need to update the ApplicationUser to hold a reference to a personalInforamtion. Then you would need to migrate the database to the latest version, either with a generated migration or with automatic migrations.

Any changes you would then do would be through the entity framework.
