Name: Rosie Lexeme
Nickname: Street (recieved it because she lived on the street for so long and she was always found sleeping in the street)
Age: 15
Job: Newsie, Dancer, whatever comes her way
Looks: Strawberry-blonde hair, curly, long (she usually keeps it up in her newsboy cab); grey/blue eyes; tiny, pinched face; small for her age; undeveloped (helps her hide as a boy when needed).
Personality: Street acts just as her nickname implies, she can sell any headline (with a few embellishments) and she won't take no for an answer. Street is street-smart, but not book-smart. She isn't very trusting, but when she trusts you, she's your friend until she dies and she'll give her life for you. She is actually very dainty and lady-like when not on the job. She is the type that won't lose to anybody, unless they are honorable and worthy or losing to.
History: Rosie lost her parents at a young age. The Lexeme's were very rich and influential, but all that power was lost when her father died. After her mother died, Rosie was left alone. She disguised herself as a boy and hustled other children out of their wages. She earned the nickname 'Street' because she was found sleeping in the street by several different people (Newsies, Police, Shop-Keeps, etc.). She then vowed never to lose to anybody, just because she was a girl. Street only knows how to read enough so that she can read the headlines and sub-headlines. Her English isn't as broken as some of the other Newsies, because of her good upbringing. Street has spent eight years on the street and has survived and flourished.
Other: Street gambles and will try to sell anything that isn't screwed down, she will even steal something and sell it back to its original owner if desperate. She is an expert gambler and will often win more then she loses. Street actually has quite a bit of money saved up, her dream is to go back to Russia, what she calls 'The Old Country'. The Lexemes are actually from Scotland, but Street overlooks this. Sometimes refers to herself as 'Natasya Lemenova'. Has several aliases, 'Natasya Lemenova', 'Daniel Howser', 'Scarlett Young'.
