Name: Elizabeth "Beth" Rowlands
NN (if applicable): Lady Macbeth (really just Macbeth)
Age: 16
date and place of birth: August 19, 1883; Five Points
Personality: Well, I guess I ain't exactly the most pleasant person in the world. I can be kinda moody and snappish; I don't really like to be bothered, and I ain't got the sweetest of tempers. Basically, I've been told I should walk around with 'Caution' signs stuck all over me. Takes me forever to make a friend, but if someone's patient enough to get through to me, I'll stick by 'em through anything and get quite protective if anyone tries to hurt 'em, physically or otherwise.
Hobbies and interests: *snorts* Does making people angry count? Hmm... *eyes light up briefly* I do like reading, and...I love acting. In case the Shakespearean nickname didn't tip you off. I ain't some kinda professional, mind ya, but the theater's my second home, and I might even show up at an audition one day if I didn't know for sure they'd never accept some dirty street rat.
Bad habits, criminal record, etc: What, besides attacking people viciously for saying 'good morning' to me, and getting myself soaked every few days 'cause I snapped at the wrong person? *rolls her eyes* Um...well, besides being rather friend-resistant and a bit of an enemy magnet, I used to be a thief. Picking pockets, a little burglary...I actually ran with a gang, of sorts. It's a long story. Don't worry 'bout it, though, me and Archer Klein parted on good terms. He ain't gonna come hunting me or or nothing. And the bulls never got nothing solid on me.
Employment: Newsgirl
Background info (please include family as well): *glares* My dad was from England; my mother's from India. He was a wealthy student taking some fancy trip 'round the world when he met her. 'Course, when he married a dark-skinned heathen, his family yanked his inheritance. He took his bride to the worst slum in New York, where he never could hold a job for long, and then the fools went and had two daughters. Mama got fed up and ran off with another man when I was nine and my sister Adeline was eleven. Five years later, Ada was a showgirl and a whore; some guy knocked her up, and she died in childbirth. Poor, dreamy old Dad lost the last of his reason and killed himself.
I ended up drifting here and there, and one of the people I ran into was this girl Ershey. Maybe the most decent person I've ever met. She just got back in touch, said I might like it here, though I'm pretty damn sure the folks here won't like me. But anyway, here I am.

Addendum: It should be generally known that...
1. This is totally Ershey's fault.
2. Beth's a reincarnation of the first lodging-house character I ever played.
3. She's largely based on me at fourteen. I was a terrible person.
4. I have really deep, crazy, complex affection for her and am semi-hyperventilating at the thought of playing her again.
5. Everyone will probably want to kill her within a day or two.
