Greta Kohler
Name: Greta Kohler
Nickname: Asrai
Age: Fifteen
Country of Origin: United States
History
Greta was born on a rainy spring afternoon in Boston. She was the youngest in a family of five, her older siblings being two brothers that picked on her mercilessly, as older brothers tend to do. Her father supported the family by tutoring a wealthy family, and as a result there was an emphasis on education in Greta's family. Her brothers, while bright, resented most of the forced schooling while Greta adapted quickly and soon became skilled in reading and writing (math, however, was another thing entirely).
When Greta was nine years old her family packed up and moved to New York. She continued her schooling there until the point that she had to take up a job at a factory to help support her family (her brothers had to take up jobs as well, as their mother had fallen ill and their father had been forced to take up factory-level labor when they left Boston).
Past that, there is a gap in Greta's history. She doesn't remember, or perhaps doesn't want to remember, her life up until she was about twelve. At that point, her life had taken a noticeable turn. The way she tells it, she found herself one morning sleeping in an alley, no family, no books, no idea where she was or where she had been. Greta took up a job in another factory, using her free time to search for her family. After growing tired of the conditions on the aforementioned factory, she went to look for another means of employment and finally settled on selling newspapers.
Greta is a fairly shy girl. She is capable of interacting with people, but tends to have problems talking to them at first. In fact, much of her act to sell papers is acting lost, confused, and when she gains some sort of sympathy she plays off of that with her natural shyness. She still has a love of books, and can be seen carting around a rather large volume of short stories (although where and how she acquired such a book is unknown).

Characters You Play: I just started up again, so I don't technically have any characters anymore.
Feel free to criticize this thing... I didn't try as hard after my first one vanished, so I'm certain I need to improve.
