Louis Ballat, 16, goes by the name of Kid Blink, or just Blink (or the variations his friends like to throw at him). A lifer of the Lodging House, crass (but always in good fun--at least for him), short-tempered, quick to start a fight (but rarely ends one). A ladies' man of the worst kind, flirting shamelessly with any specimen of the female gender that crosses his path, usually with very little success. Most people don't take his flirtings seriously, and he's okay with that. Generally best taken in small doses.
Wears an eye patch over one eye, but the jury's out as to whether he's actually blind in it or just wears it for the sympathy sell, or even whether he's still got an eye under there at all. Asking about it won't get you anywhere.
((Lame intro is lame!))
Trivia
- Gives a different story every time he's asked about the eye patch. No one knows whether any of the stories is actually the real one.
- On good terms with most all the Manhattan kids, neutral with Queens and Bronx kids, and generally on not-so-good terms with Brooklyn.
- Won't openly admit it, but is pretty much terrified of Brooklyn girls.
- Closest friend is Brook LeRue, but is completely oblivious to the fact that she has a crush on him, often flirting shamelessly with other girls right in front of her.
- Was shot in the left forearm during the battle to free the kidnapped kids from the workhouse. Hasn't regained full function of his arm yet.
- Was given morphine lozenges to help cope with the pain of his injury. Is slowly becoming dependent on them.
