Full Name:Emilie Johnson Nickname:Spotlight Age: near 16 Appearance:5'5"-ish with a curvy figure. She has curly auburn hair, freckles, and eyes that are generally blue, but sometimes appear more greenish or greyish. One time they were greyish green. It was wierd. She refuses to wear pants unless she absolutely has to, and even then she's reluctant. She isn't fussy about the way she looks, but she insists on dressing like a girl. She's really quite pretty, but she's completely unaware of it. She prefers her hair down, mostly because it's a lot easier than actually doing something with it. If she does wear it up, it's probably in a loose bun or a French braid. She has glasses, and she is quite proud of them. Pic? (Not Required): Sadly, not yet. Personality:She's really claustrophobic- not about small spaces, but about other people sharing those small spaces. She will never let anyone know if she's nervous or scared or anything like that. She's really guarded with people at first, but once you've earned her trust, you've got it for life. She's really mature for her age, and she often gets along a lot better with people older than her then with people her own age. She's intelligent, creative, and just a wee bit cynical, and loves to write. She's always scribbling in some notebook or other. She has a stack of them about a foot high. Her greatest goal in life is to someday either be a novelist or a playwright. She's pretty serious and practical, unless you catch her in the right mood. She's generally very gentle and sweet, but she does have a temper. It doesn't take a lot to annoy her, but it does take a lot to get her angry. She's very compassionate towards little kids and people who are hurt. Unless they got themself hurt being stupid. She had no compassion for the person then. She's a hopeless romantic at heart, and the person who brings that out in her is one seriously amazing person because she hardly ever lets her guard down. History:She was born and raised in the bustling port city of Seattle. She moved back east when she was about 14 because her dad died and her mom had family in the Bronx. She basically held everyone together. Her mom fell apart after her dad died, and her brothers are, to quote her best friend back home, 'an ungodly brood of hellions.' Spotlight went to [insert assigned burrough here] because she can't stand her family.

Full Name: Mabel Fitzpatrick Nickname: New to the newspaper selling business, the nickname process is a foreign concept to Mabel. No, Mabel will be just fine— Miss Fitzpatrick? Even better. Age: 18 Appearance: Medium length brown hair and brown eyes, of average height and build with pale skin and scattered freckles along the bridge of her nose. Her normal attire, while suitable for her previous life of leisure, is not the kind that stands up well to a long day’s work… not to mention frilly blouses and fancy dresses make her stick out like a sore thumb. Pic? (Not Required): Personality: But one word comes to mind when considering Mabel: snob. More than a bit haughty, Mabel comes across as a princess who was not so much pushed off her pedestal but one who has been forced to relocate her pedestal somewhere well below her standards. In spite of this, Mabel is neither a hateful nor cruel person – she merely lives in a state of undisturbed denial regarding her current circumstances. Mabel is well read and impeccably book smart but lacks the knowledge necessary to “rough it”. She has a posh and refined way about her and often comes across as incredibly condescending. While Mabel has never excelled at first impressions, she isn’t nearly as contemptuous as she first appears to be. History: The daughter of a well-to-do business man, Mabel spent the entirety of her childhood in a sprawling estate in a rural area outside of New York City. Until quite recently, Mabel knew nothing of hardship and lived a life of undisturbed simplicity and indulgence. Less than a year prior, Mabel’s father lost most of his fortune to several botched business endeavors and the Fitzpatrick family was forced to move to a New York City apartment complex. Though her parents had previously been able to provide for Mabel, money is tight and it is of the utmost necessity that Mabel find herself a job. Mabel, while not thrilled with the prospect of taking part in this “working” thing she’s heard so much about, is willing to give it a shot, if only for the good of her family. Though it seems unlikely that Mr. Fitzpatrick will ever regain his lost fortune, Mabel remains devout in her belief that she will soon be back in her lavish home. Besides, Mabel was never much of a city girl.

Newsies Character Profile
Full Name: Sarah Beth Carmichael
Nickname: Soprano(sorry it's not the same as my username. I hope that's all right)
Age:16
Appearance: Blonde haired, blue eyed classic girl. A clear heart shaped face, and she has dimples when she smiles. She's 5'3" and about 112 pounds with a slim figure
Personality: She's a very happy person, comfortable with who she is. The reason why she is called Soprano is because she loves to sing wherever she goes and doesn't care. She'll do almost anything for anyone, even if it means putting up a fight with the scabbers. She'll hold anyone's who's down and hurt, and always thinks of others before herself. There will always be room in her for any kind of adventure. All in all, she's the type of girl who wants to get more out of life before someone locks her up and takes her away from all that she thinks shines in glory.
History:She's from the Midwest, but was born in the south near the Texas area. She moved when she was 14. When she and her family had settled in their new home in a Wisconsin area, she attracted the mayor's son while she was singing, which is her passion. Apparently, the Mayor's son, Chris, was deeply moved, and they both fell in love...BIG MISTAKE. He started becoming possesive of her, not letting anyone see her, touch her, or even talk to her. Sarah's not one to hurt anyone emotionally, so she thought that the only escape from this dangerous relationship was to run. Without leaving any trace of her escaping figure, she raced on towards her promised land: New York, where she would hope to become a singing sensation under the brightest lights ever to hit a grand theatre's stage on Earth. She is still currently working on that dream, but until then, she sells newspapers with the boys who immedietly became her friends
(If it's possible, I would like to be part of the Manhatten newsies group. But whatever works is all right ^_^)

Full Name:Gwendolyn Aranrhod Iver Nickname:Gwennie Age:8 Appearance:dark brown, wavy hair which she often wears in braids, brown eyes, 4'1" always wears dresses (huzzah for historical accuracy!) Pic? (Not Required): Personality:Gwennie is very friendly and loves to interact with other people, no matter what the age. She is out going and will often not hesitate to say what is on her mind. She can read a little bit and is very precocious. She has experienced a lot in her life and has a slightly better understanding of the world than others her age (though her perspective is still quite childlike). She has boundless energy and loves nothing more than to play games, ask questions, and carry on conversations. She has an active imagination, from which she has created an imaginary pet named Marvin. He is an Irish wolfhound (a very large breed of dog) and she often acts as if everyone can see him whether they play along or not. History: She was born in America but her parents were born in Scotland and immigrated to New York when they were young adults (in their late teens). Her mother's family was actually originally from wales but they came over to Scotland several generations before her mother was born. Her parents and her brother died of grippe (the flu) when she was six years old however, before that they lived together in a small tenement apartment her father worked and her mother stayed at home the majority of the time, occasionally doing odd jobs for neighbors and earning a little bit of extra money. She made some clothware to sell for more money but they still struggled to get by. Gwennie and her brother, Jospeh, attended school during the day and Joseph sometimes sold the evening edition for spending money when he wanted to buy a toy or go to Coney Island or something of the like. When they died Gwennie had to work to earn money for food and shelter. She moved into the Brooklyn(hopefully, I'm only saying it in the introduction because that's where I RP her on other sites. I can change it if you give me another borough) lodging house because she could no longer afford the apartment and has lived there for almost two years.
