Name: Hattie McDowler
Nickname: Fame
Nickname History: Fame’s nickname came from her father, who told her that she was going to be famous. When she moved to New York, she asked to be addressed as Fame, shortened from her father’s nickname.
Age: 16
Physical Appearance: Fame has long, dirty blonde hair which is usually pulled back in a messy bun, or is let loose. She has brown-green-hazel eyes, which are curious but occasionally mean. She is short, maybe 4’11 and a little skinnier then she should be, but she puts up a good fight when need be. And ‘need be’ is determined by her mood, usually.
Clothes: Fame wears dark gray trousers and a thin white blouse, both of which are a little too big. She keeps her trousers up with a belt and some sort of confusing sailor’s knot, which she learned from her father. She is either barefoot or wears old, brown shoes.
History: Fame came over from Ireland with her parents at seven, and they took the train to Chicago. Her father had passed away after staying out too late on a winter night, being too drunk to do anything besides lay in the snow. He died a few days after of alcoholism and hypothermia. Her mother had relocated to a different part of Chicago with Fame’s grandmother and brother. She took the train to New York and is working her way around from there. She has been a newsie since a young age, and plans to continue being a newsie in New York.
Personality: Fame is a bitter, mean kid if you don’t know her, and if she doesn’t like you. She is a fighter and will keep fighting until she wins or is really, really beaten. She hates to lose, but she knows that it happens. However, if you know her and accept her, she can be nice and a good friend, loyal and trustworthy. She is outgoing and doesn’t care if she makes things awkward, that was just what she did sometimes. She likes to tell herself that its not always her fault.
