((Crud! I had this long thing that I wrote and it went poof.))
Name: Elyse Hannah Foley
Nickname: Zero
Explanation: She stopped talking one day, and whether it was because she became a mute or because she was stupid nobody knew. So her classmates decided that she was stupid, thus the name Zero.
Looks: Slightly tan skin and straight very dark brown hair. Some may go so far as to call it black. Same with her eyes. They are, in fact, a very dark brown. 4 foot 12 with a nervous look about her.
Personality: The term 'silent as the grave' fits her perfectly. She is, however, easily angered when insulted and although she won't fight, she will hold a grudge and you may find unpleasant things are attracted to you while she still holds said grudge. Zero loves to laugh and enjoys making friends, but when she makes them, she has a tendency to be loyal... a bit too loyal, which sometimes frightens her friends away. But she's working on not being so loyal, seriously. Besides all that, she doesn't like to fight. When asked a question she will remove a small chalk board from a pouch that she wears like a purse at all times.
History: Zero was born seven years after her older sister, Margaret. The family resided in Boston, her mother working in a hat shop and her father running a bakery. They were pretty well-off until the bakery caught fire, and her mother got fired from the hat shop.
In an attempt to make a better life for their two children, they adopted them out. Margaret went to Ireland where she still resides to this day. Zero was taken to New York where she was schooled until age ten. She had stopped talking at age seven, and had a tendency to daydream in class for hours at a time.
Her new parents moved to England after that, leaving Zero to fend for herself in New York. After trying several jobs she became a Newsie, as it seemed like the only fitting job.
The only things she has that remindes her of her parents in Boston are a book of poetry and a teddy bear from her childhood named Zaffa. She cares deeply for both items and continues to hold Zaffa when frightened or if she has a hard time sleeping.
Not a very tragic tale, and she's proud of it.
Interests: Writing, reading, selling papers, day dreaming, music... she has a bit too many interests to list.
Talents: Piano playing, writing, selling papers, forgery and pick pocketing. Shiny things have a habit of dissapearing around her.
Other: She loves chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. If you want her to help you with anything (mainly forgery, as that can come in handy) then offer her chocolate, and she may help you.
Zero owns a small black puppy (considered a mix between something and a jack russle terrier, is only a few inches high and will remain that way) named Cherokee, after an old friend of her's.
