MAEBY QUICK
FEISTY LOYAL SENSITIVE DEFENSIVE BRIGHT SLY SECRETIVE SWEET IMAGINATIVE CRAZY
Name: Maeby Katherine Quick
Age: 17
Place of Origin: Wicklow, Ireland
Occupation: Pick pocket; in search of other employment.
Public Knowledge: Maeby has only a moderate Irish lilt, which suggests her heritage. She has no family to anyone's knowledge. She is fiercely loyal to Spot Conlon. She is a petite girl at 5'2" and has fair skin and bright hair. While she did once have quite a smattering of freckles, they have faded as she aged and are now far less pronounced. Her eyes are a striking blue and she smiles more often than she frowns, not wishing for those around her to know her woes. Her hair is thick and reaches the small of her back, the ends holding a tight curl than the rest.

History
Maeby was born second and last to her mother, Katherine, in Wicklow, Ireland. Her mother died in childbirth, leaving her to the care of her father, Liam. When Maeby was six, her father gave her up to the local orphanage. Times were difficult in Wicklow and the Quick potato farm was producing very little crops. Her older brother, Seamus, fought to keep Maeby from being given away to no avail. As a growing boy, he was useful to the farm while a little girl was no more than another mouth to feed.
A slight girl with a mess of ginger curls, Maeby was adopted by a wealthy American man after one year in the orphanage. He packed her up and took her back to his home in New York--a gift to his barren wife. Upon meeting Maeby, this woman was put in hysterics. She accused her husband of mocking her condition and not loving her due to it. Wishing only to restore peace to his home, the man abandoned Maeby on the steps of the convent in the dead of night, his reputation to protect.
Too young to fully grasp her situation, Maeby slept on the stoop until a nun found her in the morning and, rather than take her in, turned her over to the authorities. Maeby was kept in the Refuge as a permanent ward. She was, for lack of better term, a ward of the State. No one knew who she was or how to locate her kin, thus she was given a bunk. Raised among the misfits of those street urchins passing in and out of the Refuge, Maeby learned a few useful trades. These included lock-picking, pick pocketing and lying.
At thirteen, Maeby was able to exact an escape and once outside, ran until she felt she would die of exhaustion. Thanks to those she had spoken with in the Refuge, she now knew where she might find a roof and a hand up. She chose Brooklyn, where she has been ever since. It is widely known that Maeby is in search of someone, though very few know who. She is, of course, always hoping to one day save enough pennies to get herself back to Wicklow and reunite with her brother, Seamus.
