NAME: Mahony Kerrigan
NICKNAME: Ghost
AGE: 16
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: The United States of America
HISTORY
Mahony Kerrigan, born and raised in New York, is an intelligent girl. She grew up in a "normal" home. Both of her parents worked- her Irish mother in a millinery and her Polish father in a sweatshop- and she had two siblings, her brother and her sister.
Her siblings, nearly four years older than she, taught her how to take care of herself. He taught her to fight, to steal, and how to lie. Her sister taught her practical skills like sewing, minimal reading, and first aid.
They lived comfortably in the city, but after she turned thirteen, things started to spiral out of control. Her father died in an accident at the factory; her mother and brother abandoned she and her sister a year later. When her sister, her last remaining relative, moved out West with her husband, Mahony decided to make her own life.
A New York police officer gave her the nickname “Ghost” after she disappeared from his grasp, slipping through his fingers. Three days later, he saw her again and said, “Well, the ghost appears again.” She kept the nickname, knowing it aptly suited her.
She is a capable liar, thief and fighter, but she will only use those skills when it is absolutely necessary. Mahony is able to “make herself disappear.” She does not stand out in a crowd, and she devises quick getaways with a moment’s notice.
Not knowing what else to do after her sister left for the West, she stumbled upon a Lodging House for Newsies.
PERSONALITY
Mahony is quiet, but not because she is ignorant or arrogant. She is observant, always looking around and taking things in. Her brother inspired in her an intense love of danger, so she uses her skills to her advantage. She considers the greatest thing her brother taught her was the ability to make people trust her. Smooth lies frequently get her out of trouble or into someone’s life. She knows her skills make her useful as an informant.
She misses being apart of a family, which is why she is fiercely loyal to the ones who prove worthy of that loyalty. The newsies, she hopes, will become her new family. But, though she wants to belong, she is also independent.
Though she is normally very level headed and objective, her weakness is affection, and she knows it. She craves adoration and love, and it could, one day, land her in trouble. Her desire for someone to need her could be a used as a weapong against her, and that power others could have over her scares her.
Mahony, when she is comfortable and out of her shell, proves that she isn't all business. She actually has an affinity for life. A fact she keeps well guarded because she is afraid of seeming weak. However, around the right people at the right time, she can become the life of the party.
