Real Name: Riley Donovan
Nickname: Smudge (So named because her face and hands are constantly smudged with either charcoal or paint)
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Occupation: Traveling artist.
Claim to 'fame': She'll draw you a portrait of yourself in ten minutes, or it's free (needless to say, most of her work ends up being free of charge because of this)
Height: Five feet even
Weight: Unknown
Appearance: Not excrutiatingly beautiful, nor terribly ugly. Actually, she was quite plain-looking. Her hair was black; just jet black, and oft tied back with a ribbon in an attempt to keep it from being too messy. Her eyes were a dark hue of brown, similar to the color of a brown beer bottle. Her nose was slightly crooked, as though it had been broken and never healed properly. One thing could be said for her, though, and that was that she always made sure her clothing (usually a blouse, skirt, and work boots) was decent and presentable in case she met a random customer.
History: Riley grew up on a farm, living with her mother, father, and three siblings (one older brother, one younger brother, and one younger sister). Because she was the second oldest child (and the oldest daughter), she helped a lot around the house, doing everything from collecting eggs from the chickens to helping her mother with schooling the two younger ones.
Right around the time when her brother left home to get married and start his own family, her younger brother and sister were deemed, by her father, old enough to attend a real school in the city. Thus began Riley's career as an aspiring artist. She left the farm (with nothing more than the clothes on her back, a small amount of money, and a halfway decent amount of art supplies) in search of inspiration, and her travels led her to New York.
