Name's Two-Bit O'Riley. I'm from Manhattan, lived in Bottle Alley most of my life. My family was pretty poor, so I worked in a textile factory until I was 13, when my parents and older sister moved to Jersey. I didn't want to leave, so I ran off, living on the streets until recently, when I found a job as a newsie. Now I can afford to move into a Lodging House, but I'm kind of nervous about it. At least it's better than the streets.
I'm 15 now, but I look a lot like a kid still. I've got really curly brown hair that I try to pin back, but it doesn't really keep it out of my face. I'm real short too, so I look pretty dumb standing next to all the guy newsies. But it's ok, since I stand out anyway; mostly I'm the only one in a dress.
I'm usually pretty laid back, especially when it comes to selling papes. Since my dad was a teacher, I don't use a lot of slang like the other newsies, and they make fun of me a lot for it. But I don't mind, I'm used to being the little kid of the group. But if anyone tries to toss me around I get angry and usually end up in a fight. But I usually try to stay out of stuff like fights unless it's personal. I've got my pride, and I don't follow just anybody, only the people that I really trust.
I don't have a lot of good friends yet, and you can sometimes see me just walking by myself. When I do hang out in a group I'm usually talking with Kid Blink, Mush, or one of the other guys. I don't have too many girl friends yet.
